2 tranq arrows to the face... your welcome

Who else thinks they should add data about the alphas?

If your levels are too low to craft pteranodon saddle i recommend you riding a raptor

When tamed, a raptor is a very fast and strong mount but they don't have very much carry weight. Level up weight, speed, and damage.

These are Arks thugs .. they don't care what you are doing whether it be minding your business or if your just looking to pet a dodo. They will come and they will kill you and your dodo.. Run as far as possible swim as far .carry a bola on you so you trap your friend and escape . @chief3alpha xbox

Roses are red, the earth has gravity, and if you are a new player, the raptor is a pain in the anal cavity

In a recent PC (and very soon to console) update these little jerks can now pounce on you...and they WILL. Every. Damn. Time. They knock you off mounts and on you to the ground while they gnaw on your bones...mocking you. They’ve knocked me off an argy and therozinos several times. They’re much more deadly now. Upvote so everyone knows about this new ability. PS...alpha raptors ALSO do this.

Just tamed a level 122 on Dead Island no kibble and only a few narcs on me. Had to fight off a scorpion and a sabertooth to keep from it waking up. As the tame was close to finishing I was attacked from behind by two scorpions and they knock me out. As I'm getting attacked by them and I am sure that I am a goner, the raptor tames, gets the them off of me, and kills both of the scorpions. I wait in horror as my consciousness returns, hoping that I am not going to die to a patrol. I didn't, and I turn around and see a Rex almost close enough to aggro me. I put my raptor on follow ran to my raft, and escaped the island as the Rex was chasing me. I named him Saving Grace on the way back, but as I am passing the swamp, a sarco attacks my raft. It knocks my beloved raptor off, and it was swarmed by the sarco and a group of megapiranha. I try to call it to follow, and it dies almost instantly. I am utterly devastated and heartbroken...... :'((

Just a crossbow, tranq arrow, and a stack o’ meat

Tame a few 150's, breed them, and you'll be Chris Pratt in no time.

Use a bola and use narc arrows, or use a slingshot if you have too.

I think the Dododex should add it so there is info about the alpha carnivores and the bosses and what tekgrams they drop

TLC patch coming March 2018 adding a pack bonus wherein the leader roars and the pack gains damage resistance, movement speed, and attack speed buff for 15 seconds with a 45 second cooldown, will also gain a pounce and pin move similar to Thylocoleo which can be used on small creatures or players. Kill it to escape. Like so people can see!

Try to stay in flat open land, this allows you to easily snare the raptor with a bola. Approach slowly until it runs straight at you then throw the bola at it. Once hit with the bola you can easily KO it using any method you choose.

Use parasuar kibble for faster and higher level tames if possible since you need less than 30 kibbles for a perfect 100+ level tame. It may also be easier at lower levels since gathering meat can sometimes be difficult and parasuars are easy tames.

Bolas don't stop alphas up this so you know

I was hunting one down in the forest. Lost sight of her. Suddenly she appeared behind me, I barely had time to say “clever girl” before she ripped me to shreds

Always carry bolas.

RAPTORS DONT MESS AROUND SO… RUN

Haven't seen anyone Writing it so here I go..

You actually can roll out of his jumpy attack by pressing space in the right time.

Best 2nd tame, get yourself a trike and then a raptor and you have your berry gatherer for herbivore tames/narco berries and the raptor for meat gathering for carnivorous tames. Sorted.
