Exploit its greatest weakness: gymnastics. Dumbfounded by your incredible acrobatic skills, it will stand in one place and let you kick it through a window into oblivion. I saw it in a movie once.
Easiest way I find taming them is by having two people for one raptor one lures the other bolas it then both trank it out or beat it with your clubs.
To tame them I would recommend a crossbow but a bow will do for a level 6 or under they are very good tames but as soon as you tame them u NEED TO LEAVE. If there is a raptor there is a good chance that there will be a alpha raptor. But otherwise good tames! Just hard to get.
I swear stay away from these insane beasts I saw three (a level 11 a level 15and a level) take out a frickin level 32 Rex all by theme selves stay away for your own good.
The live in forests use a bola too tame it use raw meat they can pounce quickly paralyzingly you they are strong and hunt in groups
1- grab a bunch of bolas and trancs
2- find raptor
3- use bola and tranqs
4- tame
If you are being chased by a raptor, get to water and swim down and in the opposite direction. Just don't get caught by piranhas!
They’re where ever gallimimus are lol
Do not approach this in early game. Maintain a distance ever with some tamed dilos please even in late game these mess with you and even can kill you un-prepared.
When u r running away from these guys early game u r probably gonna die so try to run to the closest herbi and aggro the raptor onto it! This saved me an embarrassing amount of times lol
if you want to tame a raptor but can’t find one spawn in south zone 3
There’s tons of raptors
and to tame them
1. craft some bolas
2. find a raptor
3. knock out with bat/tranq arrow
4. get meat and put in inventory
Let’s just say if they find you you better. Hope you have a bola because they will attempt to rip you to shreds especially if they’re in groups. Trust me past experience.
If you want a raptor take these steps .be level 21 . Get tranq arrow . Get in water . Shoot the raptor with tranq arrow . tame it with you meat🤨💀
Step1:get taming food,I recommend getting prime meat and narcotics(take a few more)
Step2:get taming weapons,get some bolas(if there are more),bow and tranq arrows ,don't use clubs! I learnt it the hard way
Step3:Taming,find a raptor (one that is alone if not craft a few more bolas!),bola them/it us bow and tranq arrows and knock it out(don't get too close) transfer your prime meat and narcotics kill the other one (if there is or you don't need it,I recommend getting the other one as well)
BOOM! you have your own raptor! have fun ! :D
We all have to agree this was the hardest tame early game
1:get a decent amount narcos and bolas if you miss or a pack 2:hit them once then bola aim for the head 3:then put raw meat prime or mutton is recommended but if dont have prime or mutton raw meat will do put narcotics in to keep it asleep 4:you have raptor.
Here is a quick thing to tell how many tranq and stuff u would need for a lvl 1 to a 150
Lvl 1:literally 10 or something slingshots not worth it lol
Lvl 30 if ur on easy mode then it's good can be tamed with 10 or so pieces of meat and 5 tranq i think
80:pretty decent to tame to get a better one needs a good amount of meat and tranq arrows
Lvl 150:ove not tamed one myself yet but if i could guess it requires a stack of meat and 20 or so tranq
Also when ur taking ANYTHING remember to put spikes sprout them raptors and dilos can easily remove all the taking effectiveness
