What are tips for raptor? Tips and strategies for raptor in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If you are a noob like me and want to kill them, I recommend luring it into water with a raft especially the alpha raptor because they are slower in water and you can hit them with a bow. QUICK TIP: Don’t think you can take on an alpha raptor on land; I learned quite painfully that you can’t kill a raptor that you can’t outrun that has over 3,000 lives.
It says to tame a raptor you must have types of kibble or raw prime meat. However, i used a wooden club in attempt to kill a raptor and realized I had some meat in my inventory. I used a soothing balm and about 15 meat and it only took the balm and 3 meat to tame.
I found 8 in 1 place I’m sooo “lucky”
bola it and shoot it with arorws
Watch out if you're playing on Aberration, they love to pounce on you if you bola them to close (4-10').
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.
There was a HUGE pack of raptors and I was alone. And I was left dead on the sand as the raptors tore into me. Wow.
I would tame it by bola and club or shoot it with a tranq arrow with a crossbow in the face.
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.
