ARK: Survival Evolved Companion

Tips & Strategies

When your walking around in ark always carry at least one bola. There good for taming small to medium creechers. There also great hunting and and defense. For instance, "you ever been just walking around and a random raptor, dire wolf, saber tooth, or scorpion comes out and attacks you. There nock back or movements make it hard to get away." You can keep a bola on you and use it for just Such an accession. This in also just about the only way to check there level without them seeing you assuming you don't have a telescope. It can also help with attacking people.

No-one's shared a tip about raptor breeding so I thought I'd help you folk out!
Raptors hatchlings are really easy to take care of. They hatch with about 3 standing torches, although the number varies depending on the ambient temperature of your region and time of day. They'll need about a stack of raw meat to make it through the entire maturation process and can be fed from a trough once they reach the 'juvenile' stage (10% maturity), however you WILL need to give them food beforehand as they'll starve before they reach 10%. Otherwise you can really just leave them be. Obviously they can't be ridden and I strongly don't recommend fighting with raptors that haven't matured yet as they have less health than a fully grown raptor (which already has low hp).
Happy breeding! I hope this tip helped!

You could easily nock out a Lv 20-30 with a boomerang and a club as I did this with a lv 25 and friend said it works on 30s so I would recommend not to waist your tranquil arrows if you need them for a bigger tame
Just bola it and shoot with tranq darts should be less then 10 or 10 depending on lvl I tammed two in one day they were like lvl 4 and 6
To tame velociraptor
1. Craft at least two bolaβs
2. Search the west for them (most common there)
3. Throw bola before he/she pounces
4. Hit a few times with club
5. Bola a couple seconds after last bola (to not escape)
6. Feed at least 8 raw meat (depends on level)(more info on how to feed in Dododex)
7. Wait patiently for tame ready
8. Keep it alive...
I would look for a male and female as you can bread them and you donβt want to try take out a whole pack as they would feast on you so bread your raptors and then choose your main ones with good stats I would recommend stamina wait and melee foot good stats
Quite easy to tame *if* you have a bola. Simply bola it, and shoot it in the head with either tranq arrows or a slingshot. If you don't have a bola and see one of these guys charging at you, shoot it with tranq arrows or if you have it, stronger tranq ammo. Low levels will fall to one or two tranq arrows. I've seen tips telling you to starve-tame them, but it's really not nessesary. Just give them some raw meat - or if you're feeling eextra, kibble. You shouldn't need any narcotics for levels under 30. And there you go, enjoy your new raptor. Up if this helped!

If you are a beginner, on easy mode, this thing is COMPLETELY AWESOME. It takes about 50 cooked meat for a lvl 30 but taming is EXTREMELY FAST. Just bola its face! Then slingshot its face! Then feed its FACE. And BAAAAAM RAPTOR
Bola it then shoot it with 2 tranqs
Bola it then shoot it with 2 tranqs
