What are tips for raptor? Tips and strategies for raptor in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Careful with the Alpha version of the raptor, I saw one maul two therizinos to death. They are no joke
Do not use this for caves, you will die. I tried to run lower south today and I died and so did my raptor. I have done lower souths billions of times, never had I actually remotely struggled, I would even do it on foot. The new araneo tlc makes it impossible to use a raptor in caves do to the damage it will take. Everything was high level or max level and the raptor which did 600 damage with 6k health couldn’t survive. Just take a barry or a thyla but not a raptor.
I was hunting one down in the forest. Lost sight of her. Suddenly she appeared behind me, I barely had time to say “clever girl” before she ripped me to shreds
Always carry bolas.
YOU CANT TAME ALPHAS, NO MATTER THE SPECIES! I learned the hard way when a lvl 7 female alpha killed my lvl 20 pterry the pteranodon. UP FOR RESPECT FOR PTERRY AND SO NOOBS KNOW
Do NOT face these things alone when your level 3
Bolas don't stop alphas
(Mobile) You can find them relatively near water and I recommend using bola to trip em up then knock em out then u only need to give them like 12 meat but I would give more just in case Pls like if this helped
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.
Thank you for coming to my TedTalk. Up so newbies can see :)
Try to stay in flat open land, this allows you to easily snare the raptor with a bola. Approach slowly until it runs straight at you then throw the bola at it. Once hit with the bola you can easily KO it using any method you choose.
Use parasuar kibble for faster and higher level tames if possible since you need less than 30 kibbles for a perfect 100+ level tame. It may also be easier at lower levels since gathering meat can sometimes be difficult and parasuars are easy tames.
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,

If you see one of these guys they will jump on you and you cant attack them when they do but if youre in water they cant jump on you so get to water.
Up for the noobs
How to tame a raptor early game and late game, as well as other tips and tricks.
Early game:
1. Have a bola and slingshot/club, you will need to be around level 9+.
2. Find a raptor, they usually spawn in beaches and forests with small creatures.
3. Go in front of it and wait till it runs after you, then bola it.
4. Start smacking it with a club, or personally humbling it with a slingshot.
5. Once it’s down then shove down around 20 meat in their throat, or more depending on its level.
6. Enjoy!!
Late/Mid game:
1. Have a bear trap or bola, with tranq arrows and a crossbow/bow.
2. Find a raptor (same areas)
3. Place a bear trap, and make it chase after you, and let it go to the bear trap. You can also use same bola technique as early game.
4. Tranq it out, but be careful since raptors have low health.
5. Shove around 20 prime meat or kibble down their throat, more or less depending on level.
6. Enjoy!
Some tips, tricks, and info.
The raptor’s strengths are speed and damage, however, they usually have low stamina and low health. They have a pinning ability that works on things like humans and smaller. When you tame a raptor, I recommend getting 3+ if you want to become unstoppable, they get a buff in packs. The highest level will always be the pack leader. These guys are unstoppable once you get a pack with good levels.
ATTENTION!: I heavily recommend being level 9+ and having 8+ bolas in hand. Be extremely careful using slingshot on high levels, as it’s likely to kill them.
Trap: Make a 2x2 wood foundation and walls, and keep a doorway without the door. Then add a wall over the door, and ramps the opposite way. Get the raptor’s attention and start running, then go out the door, and you can trap the raptors, however I would not recommend a trap unless you’re taming a pack of 3 or maybe more.
- They like parasaur kibble
- Their saddle is unlocked at level 18
- They are considered early game, so late or mid game players should tame stronger creatures.

TLC patch coming March 2018 adding a pack bonus wherein the leader roars and the pack gains damage resistance, movement speed, and attack speed buff for 15 seconds with a 45 second cooldown, will also gain a pounce and pin move similar to Thylocoleo which can be used on small creatures or players. Kill it to escape.
This is possibly the only dino that's still will be effective from the beginning to the end stage, these things have a pack buff that really isn't gonna do anything to bosses,, but historical we always learn outnumbering an enemy is a guaranteed win, get two raptors and breed them together till you have a gang of them, put points mostly in health stamina and melee damage and with the pack buff these freaking machines will start attacking nonstop even if one deals 40 damage their fast strikes kill even brontosauruses
