ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
If you have 10 of these things tamed, they can easily overwhelm creatures larger than themselves such as Brontos or Paraceratherium. Just donβt expect them to be able to handle a Titanosaur without some extensive breeding for strength and resilience, cuz leveling them alone will otherwise take nearly forever, and even if you level them high, breed and then kill the old ones after hatching a male and a female to leave room for more, youβll still have to put in a lot of dedication to nearly go that far. Your better off doing the same thing with Brontos if you wanna get even if only nearly that far, but it doesnβt change the fact that tamed Raptors can take out creatures larger themselves in groups, possibly even a Rex if your tamed Raptor group is large enough. Gigantosaurus however? You probably wouldnβt be able to have them survive even if you used all 40 of your tame slots for Raptors and leveled each one to be as resilient as possible. Although, that would most certainly be a perfect storm for plenty of other things...
More Raptor Utility Tips
If high energy level these things can be monsters and beat caves in a heartbeat.
If you watch the ARK: The Animated Series trailer youβll get an exclusive cosmetic.
I tamed about 20 of them and killed a bronto in like two seconds.
Handy tip: they canβt pin you down if youβre in water. Like so more people can see.
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.
currently using as caravan guards due to their speed and damage definitely worth getting
Breeding not-so-basics 101:
Incubation: surround the egg in a ring of torches (recommend standing) and light them wooden poles on fire, if it says too hot, turn off a torch. Too cold? Light one up. If it is just right, there should be no βToo Hot!β Or βToo Cold!β Sign and should say βIncubating (10:00:00)β or something like that and the teal blue bar should go down. But if the red bar is going down instead of the blue, check the egg conditions again. If the red bar reaches zero, it cracks and it disappears. But if it hatches correctly, yβa got a baby creature, hooray!
Imprinting: this oneβs a doozie, so imma make it simple. Imprinting is a OPTIONAL a thing to do. βBut why so many YouTubers like Syntac do it???β Shush, I was gonna get to that. Imprinting provides health and damage bonuses, being best i remember +50% or 1.5x stats. But how do you imprint? Oh itβs easy. Once you have a baby dino and NOT let it starve (it canβt eat until itβs a juvenile) sooner or later it wants care, coming from a cuddle, walk, cooked prime fish meatβ¦ EXTRAORDINARY KIBBLE?!? Yeah thereβs a lot it can range from. And it varies per dino per imprint method per server settings, so if you have a giga you wanna imprint and the imprint times only like 10 seconds, each single imprint will make such a small dent itβs like trying to blow away the moon with your breath, itβs gonna take a bit, again. Depending on your settings
Age Stages: the shortest one of them all. So imma make this really wasteful of vertical space
Baby: 1/10 of max hp and weight i think
Juvenile: can start eating from troughs, i havenβt really cared much about baby stats so Iβm just guessing 1/2 of max hp and weight
Adolescent: 3/4 Of max hp and weight, I think it can start attacking, idk what or how much it does compared to fully grown
Adult/mature: fully grown, 100% usage of health and weight bars. Thatβs basically it

Best starter dino, easy to tame, can get knocked easily, just use bola and club (if u r low level + the raptor is low lvl too) or tranq arrow, even can clear cave of artifact for you ....
Donβt listen to that goofy ahh lvl 20 uncle who said that there isnβt pack buff on mobile, yes there is itβs just not on raptors or compys the ones I know that have pack buff on mobile itβs allosaurus and dire wolves
Up so more people see this
Raptors are essentially better Dilos. Whe lacking the poisonous blinding spit of a Dilo, they have a much better DPS due to their speed. In groups of three or more they benefit from a pack boost, and in groups of at least four I notice they tend to take on bigger threats on the Ark (notably Sarcos and Kapros). Plus their pounce ability is not to be overlooked.
In short, tame Dilos for the early game, but Raptors as you move into mid game.
Thank you for coming to my TedTalk. Up so newbies can see :)
