To tame velociraptor
1. Craft at least two bola’s
2. Search the west for them (most common there)
3. Throw bola before he/she pounces
4. Hit a few times with club
5. Bola a couple seconds after last bola (to not escape)
6. Feed at least 8 raw meat (depends on level)(more info on how to feed in Dododex)
7. Wait patiently for tame ready
8. Keep it alive...
Best 2nd tame, get yourself a trike and then a raptor and you have your berry gatherer for herbivore tames/narco berries and the raptor for meat gathering for carnivorous tames. Sorted.
At one point I found a alpha tek raptor but when I tried to spawn a alpha tek raptor myself it did not work
Get your bola ready BEFORE you enter agro range. These things hit fast and once they reach you they tend to zig zag to dodge your attacks. On mobile all wild raptors can pounce you leaving you defenceless which needs a nerf because it traumatizes noobs and makes raptors very dangerous. Add to that how common they are and theyre basically stopping you from progressing. On mobile if you run at them from their back they wont expect you and get agroed only when you are very close
For all the early game Beach Bobs out there these things will not be an issue forever. If you are getting chased find a cliff, water, rocks or trees, basically anything that you can put inbetween you and the raptor. Don’t give up.
To tame follow these steps
Step 1: Find a high level
Step 2: Bola it
Step 3: Use tranq arrows to knock out
Step 4: Repeat on opposite gender
Step 5: Breed for a berry good army and make sure your saddle is on the leader
How to tame raptors:
1.Craft bola.
2.Craft wooden bat/club.
3.Collect meat for the raptor.
4.Open quest: Hunt: Raptor, and get out your map and compass and find the raptor on the map, it’s location should be marked with a circle. Make sure you have the bola hotbarred.
5.When you see the raptor, get out your bola and throw it at the raptor immediately.
6.Get behind the raptor, as while trapped in the bola, it can still attack from the front.
7.Hit it on the tail until it falls unconscious, then feed it your recently claimed raw meat, and wait.
8.Should enough time pass, you shall have your raptor! Now train it with caution as while they are great damage dealers, they aren’t the tankiest in terms of health, so leveling that up is top priority. Thx for reading
They can in fact fit through doorways
Always at the wrong place and wrong time
If you hit a level 95 raptor, with a bola. It is very easy to knock out with Tranq arrows and fist. VERY EASY. The only hard part of taming a raptor is the part of just sitting and putting meat and giving it narcos or narcoberries.
If you want to trap a raptor, they can fit through doorframes but they cannot fit through doorframes with a wall on top. If you skipped the doorframe and just had an elevated wall they couldn’t go through because of their hit box.
When I was on island I was looking around the forest like trees and stuff. When one of these guys came up to me, I it started attacking me. I try to kill a dodo earlier but I was out of stamina, and I couldn't fight back so don't try to kill a dodo.
