Tips & Strategies

What are tips for raptor? Tips and strategies for raptor in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
A raptor is a good pet for the middle/after start of the game. This is a easy tame but a strong fighter, all you need is:
6 ish meat. ( raw or cooked ) can be fish or prime meat. ( prime meat is the best )
Your fist. Or if you want it to go faster- use a sling-shot or arrows.
Boa. This is HIGHLY RECOMMEND and don’t just bring one. Bring 2+ you may miss the first time.
Nock out the raptor. ( so they don’t pounce on you go into the water.) boa it. And keep your distance because it can still attack and pounce on you if your using your fist!
Then feed them some meat or fish. 6+ meats
( and don’t worry. At first it seems as that the meat wasn’t good enough- but it will kick up the tame % about 50% of the way through.)
(Then while it’s taming if you haven’t already- craft a saddle.)
Then make sure it’s tamed and equip the saddle.
That’s about it!!
And I recommend leveling up: HP, DMG, and speed. And if you carry a lot, upgrade
Hopefully this was helpful. Ty for reading ☺️
And have a good day~

No you can't tame the alpha raptor
Raptors are one of the best early/midgame tames, because of their availability, easy taming, and balanced stats. Also their saddles are relatively easy to craft. To tame one just bola it and then club it on the head, just remember that they can still attack, and watch out for others
Easily killable wih a sword so keep that in mind :)

Alpha raptors cann Not perform a jump attack.
Don't mess with the alpha rapter
How to tame for beginners
Supplies; about 15 to 20 meat (you can also collect it wile ur looking), 3 bolas, a wood club, hatchet or better weapon, 5 narcotics (incase high lvl)
When to do it: peek of dawn or early in the day, don’t be caught out at night
Where to do it: in a openish field or beach, not in a jungle because it is way to dangerous
How to do it: set out on a relatively fast rider tame. Look first at beaches, mostly rivers and bays. When you spot a raptor don’t get off your tame, first decide if this is a safe spot to tame it. If you do decide yes, get close enough for the raptor to chase you but then bola it wile it is close. Then quickly get off your ride and club the side of the raptor. (You can also do tranqu arrows to the head but if low health not ideal) the feed meat, and narcotics as needed. If it breaks free you can try to knock it again or kill it with hatchet
BOOM u got a raptor

If you encounter one cut it off from the rest of the pack or kill all of the other raptors
To the person who said they saw a raptor singlehandedly take down a diplodocus, diplos don’t do any damage, only big knockback.
Get it’s attention then when it gets close bola it then stand to the side of it and punch it till KO then feed it at least 50 raw meat just in case
It only takes two tranq arrows to make it go sleepy night night.
Either your best friend or your worst enemy. I tamed one and it was a pretty fast mount. It is like the Parasaur but faster and smaller and a carnivore. Can leap on small creatures (or other players if you are on multiplayer) while wild ones bite you only four times when they pounce on you. You can order YOUR raptor to bite until the prey is dead.
There is never just one.........
