ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion

Tips & Strategies

So basically, I'm new to Ark and I Caught a level 4 raptor. I named it Echo and i usually ride him when hunting for meat. Then I learned that they are actually great tames when gathering meat and running away but make sure to upgrade it's health and stamina so that he can endure attacks long enough to run away. Make sure to protect it well especially if it's low level. I hope this helps and take care.

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.
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.

When they're not set to follow you, they follow the alpha. This is great to keep them together when the are on wonder.
An Alone raptor in nothing. But a gruop of raptor CAN KILL DOWN A REX!!!
Just for people to know this is a Utahraptor not a velociraptor. A velociraptor is about the size of a turkey.
These guys are cute but deadly tame them immediately you can ride them and kill a therozenosaurus
