This a a tip on how to tame a Raptor. Raptors commonly spawn in dense jungles, beaches, and mountains. First craft a couple bolas because there might be a pack, then find the raptor bola it I prefer either, club, slingshot, or tranq bow. Once knocked out you should either give it raw meat or if you have raw prime meat that works better. Wait until tamed and craft a saddle, the saddle is unlocked at level 18. I will make much more this is my 2nd one!

Super easy early game tame. All you need is a bola, a club, some meat, maybe a few narco berries. I was able to tame a level 7 teck raptor within 2 in game days (she's super pretty and I don't care about levels at the moment).

Don't let these guys get close otherwise you'll be pounced on and you get to watch your health drain.

It does however take knowledge of various game mechanics to make the tame easy.

If you hold the attack button they hit crazy fast.

45-60 damage per second and if you try hitting a training dummy you’ll see that it’s dps is kinda higher than most medium size carnivores like carnos and barys which is because each bite it does deals 15 damage twice making it 30 per bite, and they can pretty much do 2 bites per second thanks to the quick cooldown.

Use simple or parasaur kibble and shoot its face 31 times with a crossbow loaded with toxicant arrows

I tamed a lvl 25 at the northern edges of the redwoods at the water, and I got attacked by a terror bird at night. Luckily my raptor finished taming about 15 seconds in the fight, and chased it away. My pteranodon also got me on its mount, I think, but I don’t know how. Moral of the story, don’t tame in the redwoods unless you are on an elevated platform.

I’m sorry man, but if you’re in the Redwoods and its night with a max health cap of just barely abovw 420, you’re NOT taming that thing.

THE THIRD BEST PACK CREATURE IN MY MIND ALLOS ARE SECOND AND DIRE WOLFS ARE FIRST

FIRST PACK YOU WILL EVER TAME.

To those who lost their raptor, just go to your avatar and click tames. Once you have scrolled down and found your raptor, click the ‘Request’ button. I have tried and it does not drop your raptor’s saddle. To those who found this helpful, great job.

take a high level raptor to swamp cave, pounce spiders and watch them all get decimated

Be careful with alphas. I saw it maul three trikes, a pachyrhiosaurus, and a bronto, and it still didn’t die. But somehow, my small pack killed it.

A Defence tip:

This is for protecting yourself from raptors pounce (i.e

when raptors jump on you and u can't fight back when it is up there).

Learn the wooden shield engram, craft it, equip it in offhand slot. Next enable 3rd person view and tap the crosshair icon (basically aim button) and keep it right in front of your face 'ALWAYS'.

Now whenever u r exploring and any raptor jumps on u and bites u, no health is lost.

Note: this have always worked on my 'ark mobile' singleplayer. I don't guarantee it on other platforms.

Cheers

In ark mobile are they breed ?

As a moderately skilled player I've had my encounters with raptors and it's so funny to me I could've just avoided so many deaths with a bola A FREAKIN BoLa!!!

I got jumped and died level105 so be careful 👍

Raptors make great body gaurds. They're high attack speed, and running speed means anything that attacks you will be dealt with in seconds.

They also have a slight knockback and can pin smaller creatures. Raptors are great for harveating meat off deaf land animals

Don't try to tame a raptor immediately they are annoying ealry on because you can be taming a dilo for protection and then you're being attacked by a raptor! Also don't take anywhere dangerous until you have more l than at least 5. Happy hunting or taming and stay aware!

If have 3 of this and they can take down a Rex

2 weakneses: The Bola and water. If you encounter one for the first time either fight it or swim. But you may attract the piranhas! You'll struggle to outrun one on land.

Are they good mounts? Well no not really. Why? Weight. They can't carry much including you and whatver armour you have on.

They can pin down small creatures however making easy kills and collected meat and some hide.

I lime to have them as personal bodygaurds which you can simply "hire" on the go.

Put them on Neutral and let them fend for you or themselves. They have a very fast attack rate.

These guys are OP in large numbers. If you see a pack, and you’re alone, beware! If one pounces you, the rest of the pack will move in for the kill. They will shred through all your health and armor.

I’m still a noob but just found out by experience that you become invisible to a dilo while on your raptor. Not sure if there are more things your invisible to but dilo’s for sure! Just.. don’t get off until your farther away unless you wanna kill/tame it
