Tips & Strategies

For pro or high level taming:
Some of the steps only work on mobile.
What you need:
——————————
Crossbow/Longneck Rifle
3 Tranq Arrows (Bring more just in case.)/3 Tranq Darts (Sorry if I spelled it wrong.)
1 or 2 Bolas/Large Bear Trap
——————————
Food: (Most effective to least effective.) Disclaimer: This is not all foods that you can use.
——————————
Parasaur Kibble
Raw Prime Meat
Raw Prime Fish Meat
Raw Meat
Raw Fish Meat
——————————
Directions: Find a raptor by foot or a mount. (Pterosaurs such as Pteranodon are most effective at finding them.) Travel southeast or northwest. Once you have located your raptor, if it is feeding or attacking something, wait until it’s done. When it’s done, wind up your bola and approach it slowly. If you are using the Large Bear Trap, place it. When the raptor chases you, throw the bola. If you have a bear trap set, lure the raptor by crossbow or walk up to it. When the raptor is immobilized, shoot it 2 or 3 times with Tranq Arrows. If it is high level, shoot it with four Tranq Arrows. When unconscious, feed it with something. Your choice. Once you are done taming, create a Raptor Saddle. When mounted, this destroyer will kill anything weaker than it. It can also perform a pounce attack to anything smaller or equal size to it. Last step: Change settings by clicking the fossil if needed, then name it.
Tips: When mounted, this is one of the only dinosaurs which can jump. Starve feeding or regularly feeding, either way is the same. Be careful if they are in a pack; packs can easily kill you! I would suppose that you upgrade it’s health, damage, speed, and sometimes weight.

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,
