What are tips for raptor? Tips and strategies for raptor in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
These guys are rare for me on the island. does anyone know why?
Once Alpha raptor came to my base I tried to kill him but he kill me and my 2 trikes,patchy,parasour
Craft like 1000 arrows (you only need around 10) then get the enhanced bow from the “Hunt: diplodocus” pursuit then SHOOT HIM DOWN
If you don’t have a bow then drop everything and run
Me and my friend games one and I did twice 1st by fall damage 2nd to lol 13 raptor we was trying to tame when I was trying to get my stuff back. Then he ran away and th raptor followed him and I got our stuff back then he came back alone I gave him his stuff the we went to where he lost the raptor and tamed it, we called her delta. Luckily she got home safely and wasn't murdered by one of the 2 baryonyx that live near our house.
It says quick and easy taming, more like time-consuming and complicated taming if you are a low leveled. You need like a tranq with a crossbow for that! How is that easy? Leveling up in hard mode is not easy so taming these things are a nightmare! You have to lure it to a wooden pen they are faster than you, you have to keep throwing bolas at it while also calming yourself down. If you miss one bola you’re dead unless you have chitin armor. Once you and the raptor is in the pen bola it once more, quickly get out of there and build a wall sealing its escape. 🤯 I died like three times unsuccessfully trying to tame one max level one 😡
Can be picked up by an argie, but can still attack you and your bird, bring health potions 🧪 and Alphas can break wood walls with a few good hits. Really important can now dismount you when on any Aerial creature. Even Griffins.
When encountering an unwanted raptor, run past or behind a latge herbivore (best examples would be triceratops and carbonemys, both of which are very common). Run away if you are looking for safety, or you can make sure the raptor is dead. Very easy way to farm weapons from raptors.
Guys if you want to tame a raptor get bola and tranq arrows and a cross bow because when they jump on you they deal a lot of damage
1. Grab bolas, a bow and tranq darts
2. Locate raptor
3. Bola raptor
4. Pill out shotgun or assault rifle if needed
5. Kill raptor
6. Hunt down every raptor on the island. Leave no raptor alive. Every. Last. One.
7. Oh. wrong category
Alright if your new or don’t have enough stuff to fight these guys here a tip to escape them
#1 run and jump I found that most of the time that they can’t get you if going down a hill or over objects
#2 go underwater as deep as you can they won’t be able to get you
#3 for all land Dino’s go under water for aquatic Dino’s go on land and for flyers go underwater (Barry can go on land and in water same for sarcos )
Sincerely lonely dodo 🦤
(1) craft a bola and 3-15 tranq arrows depending on level
(2) find a good level raptor
(3) knock it out and tame it with meat or kibble
It is easier with meat or prime meat
They see you from like a mile away.😬
Taming a 135 lvl Raptor rn and according to Dododex, i only needed 3 Parasaur kibble when I actually needed 5…lets just say im a little sad about losing some levels on her but i know to bring a little extra next time (and hopefully this tells you to bring a little extra for your next tames too!!)
Here is a good mobile tip.
When exploring early in the game, always carry 4 to 5 bolas with you. DO NOT HEAD INTO HEAVILY WOODED AREAS OR AREAS WITH LOTS OF VEGETATION. That will prevent any ambushes. If you want to hunt raptors, stay in an open space. You will be able to see and bola the raptor. I recommend using a ranged weapon like the bow you got from hunting dilos. A spear is okay but the bow will kill it faster than throwing the spear. To help minimize the chance of being pounced, move around and not forward. If you see a group of 3, retreat immediately because from experience, I never had survived a small group of raptors without being almost or completely dead.
1: craft bola ( must be level 7 )
2: find raptor
3: bola raptor
4: put meat in inventory
5: done
I was out riding my raptor queen when two other raptors jumped me I had to get off of quenn and shw died and they were going after me so I used my bolas to bolas them and kill them up for rip queen
