Tips & Strategies
If you are wondering how to tame a raptor you only need to have 1-3 bolas and a club or tranqs. Bola them and starting knocking it out then feed it meat.
Bola it then shoot it with 2 tranqs
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
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.

To kill an alpha raptor you need a high level raptor and a high damage bowmake ur raptor jump on it and just keep shooting it
Careful with the Alpha version of the raptor, I saw one maul two therizinos to death. They are no joke
(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
I learned that in ASA, Raptors can fit through doors now. This was not a fun learning experience.
Do NOT face these things alone when your level 3
If you're being chased my raptors (or anything raptor sized really) run into deep water and go down below them, they should swim away in a couple seconds and you should be able to swim away free. Good luck to all the beginners!! 😁
Always have at least 5 or 6 bolas on you for these, and try to separate them from each other, and GET THE HIGH GROUND.
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
The simplest way to catch these guys is to bola them.
A high rock is ideal, but I’ve had that blow in my face a couple of times. Here’s how I do it:
1.) get in raptor’s line of sight with your bola already swinging. He’ll run in a straight line towards you… it’s hard not to miss.
2.) hit raptor with bola just as he is about to grab you, so there’s no chance of you missing.
3.) get behind trapped raptor and beat him unconscious with either club or fists. The reason I say behind is that if you’re in front and you approach him, he can grab and pin you still. Learned this the hard way once or twice…
You got him! Feed it raw meat, and enjoy. I have five lvl 10-20 raptors, and they kill theris and carnos in a matter of seconds. They’re a must have.
Bolas don't stop alphas
Always carry bolas.
Quick and easy way to tame a raptor
Step 1: craft a bola or two
Step 2: throw the bola at the raptor (it might run at you, so do it quick)
Step 3: knock it out with tranq arrows (bring 10+ arrows)
Step 4: once the raptor is knocked out you can feed it raw meat, raw fish meat or raw prime meat (if the meat is cooked it’s even better) prime meat is the best meat you can feed it. Up this if it was useful.
One time near the swamp, i saw a pack of raptors. There were 9 raptors in that pack. That's all i have to say.
