YOU CANT TAME ALPHAS, NO MATTER THE SPECIES! I learned the hard way when a lvl 7 female alpha killed my lvl 20 pterry the pteranodon. UP FOR RESPECT FOR PTERRY AND SO NOOBS KNOW

I'm Tiger please click the tranq arrow attacking the argy to help me
In Ragnarock across the bridge with the holes there are some Tek Raptors and regular Raptors to!
This is how to beat a alpha raptor…
1. Find a alpha raptor
2. Get it’s attention on you and aggro it
3. Go to an area with a lot of herbivores and hide underneath a diplo and bronto if you can’t find a large pack of trikes or stegos
4.go to a high rock and see the raptor getting beated
5. If the raptor kills the Dino’s get out a shotgun and some of the ammo or get a crossbow with tranq arrows and shoot the alpha raptor
6. Make sure that you skin the alpha to get a lot of prime meat
7. Use that prime meat to tame more raptors
8. Get a raptor squad and go on a hunt for alpha raptors once in a while
9. Breed your squad to get lots of baby raptors
10. Get the left over prime meat or meat and make sure to feed the baby raptors
11. Enjoy!
Can you maybe like this comment? I wrote for a while correcting my GRAMMeR for yall
Bola it then shoot it with 2 tranqs
Careful with the Alpha version of the raptor, I saw one maul two therizinos to death. They are no joke
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.
Do NOT face these things alone when your level 3
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 :)
These guys are stupid annoying late game, they’re just like rats.
—TIP TIME—
PASSIVE, AGGRESSIVE, OR NEUTRAL?
If you have ever set foot on the Island, you should know that these guys have zero chill. They will attack everything and anything in sight, no matter the size(you’ll often see one raptor challenge a rex). So STAY AWAY if you are a low level and don’t want to get cooked.
TAMING
These guys are relatively easy to tame, only needing a bola and some tranq arrows, or possibly a club if it’s a low enough level. Torpor is alright, I didn’t find myself shoving narcotics down its throat when I tamed it. Put some meat in their inventory(or some prime meat, but I wouldn’t waste any on a raptor) and viola! You got yourself a raptor!
USES
These guys are FAST. Like, very fast. But, with yin comes yang, their weight is horrible. I find myself constantly upgrading weight to get this fat dino to move at a speed more than 0.1 mph. They are strong, with fast attacks, AND they have a very OP attack that pins down smaller creatures and dismounts riders! When they are pinned, constant attacks will cause you to rip their insides out while they are on the floor! So fun :). To do this attack on mobile, swipe down on the left hand side of the screen. These guys are VERY good early game tames, with their saddle unlocking at only LEVEL 18 :o
Anyway, hope this tutorial helps!
Peace out,

(Mobile) You can find them relatively near water and I recommend using bola to trip em up then knock em out then u only need to give them like 12 meat but I would give more just in case Pls like if this helped
Bolas don't stop alphas
The best early to mid game tame. Once you get just one, your hide and meat problems are made much less difficult. A high level with a pack of weaker raptors are enough to take down most regular Dino’s and the occasional alpha without losses.
I recommend leveling to around 2k~ hp assuming use of saddles. Then maxing damage. Stamina shouldn’t be an issue for high levels and most mid levels.
Bolas are recommended, crossbow/bow is nice, but slingshot can also do the job. Just don’t expect to tame the entire pack with bolas and a slingshot.
As a travel mount they are ok. Trikes are generally better because of their great knock back and weight early on.
Typically you’ll see packs of 3-2 but you can see packs of 6-7 if unlucky.
Here it says it cannot fit through the doorframe, YES IT FITS
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.
If you see one of these guys they will jump on you and you cant attack them when they do but if youre in water they cant jump on you so get to water.
Up for the noobs
