It's easy to tame these guys, u just need to be careful, so let's learn how!
U need:few bolas, (if u missing or there's a pack)and meat (raw meat) tip: before you going to use the Bola or idk. chack first if there's a pack or a solo raptor.

Step 2-attack it until its sleeping
Step 3-when its sleeping, give it the raw meat and wait!
And boom! U have a raptor! Good luck!
One time me my dilo,and lvl 29 dodo were walking around the beach and a one of these killed both my tames and I survived 1like =1 RIP for kill accepted and mandible
You don't really need to make the kibble for the raptor, it tames fairly quickly with just raw meat. When you tame them, make sure you're either in a clear, flat area or shooting at it from where it can't get to you. When on flat land, snag it with a bola when it runs directly at you so you have a clear shot. You could either hit it with a slingshot or tranq arrows and it will go down quickly. Watch out for other raptors, they often hang out in packs.
This absolute demon circled my tiny house for over TWENTY MINUTES when i first started out on extinction
Painful with out bola always have bola
If ur wondering how to tame these guys, don’t worry, I tamed one that had 1,000 health. If u want practice getting close to raptors, I recommend doing the raptor hunt pursuit before u attempt to tame a raptor. First, u need to be prepared. Get at least 3-4 bolas, a pike, tranq arrows and bow, and meat and narcotic. For a low lvl u probably won’t need narcotic but mine was lvl 95 so i hv no idea about low lvls. Next, u need to find raptors. They’re usually found in the forest in the far southeast of the Island. Then u just need to knock it out. Approach it slowly and wait for it to run towards u (u don’t wanna go towards it bc then it only has to run a short distance to come attack u). Give urself plenty of time and when it runs towards u, throw bola and knock it out quickly (bolas only last 30 seconds). Put meat in its inventory and use narcotic if unconscious bar goes too low. Keep ur eye out for other raptors (they usually hunt in packs) and use ur pike to defend urself and ur raptor. I recommend bringing a few fighting creatures in case u get jumped on. Once the taming bar reaches the end, u hv a raptor! Raptor saddle unlocks at lvl 18 but if ur still too scared (like me) i recommend waiting till u hv at least tranq arrows (unlock at lvl 21).
Raptors are very useful bc they are pretty fast and they attack well.
Talon (my raptor), is now lvl 130 and it has been a trusty backup when I go hunting. Plz up so other players see this.
I tamed my first raptor by putting down 2 wood foundations then two walls on one of the long sides, and placed a ramp, I ran up the ramp got him distracted with the wall, stood on top of the ramp and shot him with narco arrows until he took a well deserved nap.
Don’t push your luck with these guys. If they see you, you’re screwed unless you have adequate weapons and/or a flyer. These guys… these are the soldiers of ark.
These things are the type you would see in a dark alley absolute thugs
Once, I saw a alpha raptor teleporting to parasaurs and instantly killing them. Don’t call them velociraptors, they are utahraptors. And the utahraptors WILL kill you.
These are a pain in the butt for bobs
A bola can end a regular raptor, but alphas are a different story.
Can wildcard PLEASE make the alpha raptors in ark evolved not go at the speed of light? Like actually though. Me and my lvl 204 kapro were exploring in a PvP server and since it’s a server a bunch of alphas spawn everywhere. Because not enough people kill them so they live on. And in far too inland and an alpha raptors appears out of nowhere and starts killing me. I jumped as hard as I could to get to water but o ran out of stamina and we both died.
RIP Betsy the kapro.
She had 305. Dmg too 🥲
Quite easy to tame *if* you have a bola. Simply bola it, and shoot it in the head with either tranq arrows or a slingshot. If you don't have a bola and see one of these guys charging at you, shoot it with tranq arrows or if you have it, stronger tranq ammo. Low levels will fall to one or two tranq arrows. I've seen tips telling you to starve-tame them, but it's really not nessesary. Just give them some raw meat - or if you're feeling eextra, kibble. You shouldn't need any narcotics for levels under 30. And there you go, enjoy your new raptor. Up if this helped!

Hello I will show you how to tame a raptor! But first, I love the raptors because 1. They are fast and strong 2. They are easy to tame!
Step 1. Get a bola. You might need more if you are on the edge of a hill.
Step 2. Make sure the raptor sees you. When he spots you he will run straight at you, Now is your chance! Bola him and knock him out! Make sure you have a least 10 pieces of meat (raw) before taming! Enjoy! Plz like if this was helpful!
