Bolas don't work on alphas. Bear traps do though.
Lots of guides say to leave the beaches as soon as possible, and I sort of agree. Leave the beach, but go to a spot with few trees (somewhere between the beach and the jungle) to start your first base. Definitely DON’T go straight to the jungle though, because most of the forests near start zones are filled with raptors, and if you’re a beginner you’ll be dead before you can think ‘hmm, it looks hungry.’ Not to say don’t go in the woods, just wait until you can tame/kill most raptors before trying to go too deep. Sorry for the length.

This has to be the one of the easy carnivores to tame. All you have to do is make some tranqs (the ones I have tranqed took 2 arrows) then find a rock so that they can’t reach you and start shooting them with the tranqs, then fill their inventory with 6-10 raw meat and it should take about a minute or two until you have a tamed raptor. Make sure you don’t try to tame a alpha raptor if you are a beginner and if you do want to try to then you are going to need a lot more tranqs and meat.
I frickin hate these. They enjoy devouring you, ur friends, and ur dinos! Whenever I see them I usually attempt to run to the biggest herbivore I see so the raptor will either attack it or the herbivore attacks it!! I preferably run towards trikes
If your running from this be near to water(If you near to water it will swim And it will not be able to pounce on you ) HIT IT WITH A PICK( alot)
He is tge greatest . 1 of my favorite dinosaur
If one chases after you and you know you cannot fight it then sprint away and run very close to herbivores or small carnivores because it will keep following your trail and choose to attack them instead. If this helped then ^
These are probably the best early game tame. They are easy to knock out and feed, they are common, they are fast and they are great at attacking. They also work very well in packs, If you have a few good levels you can take down some pretty strong foes
Ack, these things are so fast it’s hard to get away from them... but lucky for you here are some suggestions of how to get away from a pack of raptors(or just one lol)
1. Bola it and kill/run away
2.run under a brontosaurus’s legs
3. Enter a body of water and start swimming
4. Keep a neutral or passive wild dino between you and it, ( parasaurs, carbonemys and trikes
5. Get on a rock and shoot it
6. Run to a cliff
7. Cross a river
Taking a raptor is easy make sure there not multiple around or else your gonna get absolutely destroyed by them they tag team like crazy two of them could easily beat a ankylo
When I came out of my house this one was sus it was level 30 and it attacked me after I got up after getting pounced on I led it to the water and used my special bow and killed it in three shots
When a raptor pins you. You can do nothing and no weapon works.
EXCEPT..... Metal/stone Hatchet. Even though it doesn't show any hitting animation. You will see that while pinned downed You can cause damage to it through a hatchet.(MOBILE TRIED). Up If Anyone Does Experiment. Good luck. Try it.
If you are going to tame it I would use bolas on it the hid it with a tranquilizer arrow ore a club.
If you still want a raptor that pounces go to aberration
1.take two of these or one
2.make them overpowered if you have the back commands
3.feel free to take them into any dungeon but only take a normal speed one not two or a very fast one into lava dungeons (learned that the hard way)
3.return all the things to the alien ships any amount of times :3
Knock the boi out
Try to find one that is alone tho
Before everything make sure you have at least 10 raw meat or whatever they eat
There you got a raptor :D
Oh also if they pounced on you and you told your other pets to stop then...........regret your life desisions
When you see one attacking something wait till it is collecting meat and then bola it and hit it with a club or tranq arrows. It’s club attack behind it
