Make sure you don't have a pack of raptors because they mantrap you

If you are new (around 25 in lvl) and really need a boost to your rank find an alpha raptor get him in water while a friend kills him with a bow. It may take a few minutes but the levels are worth it!

When taming a raptor make sure you have plenty of narcotics prior to KO. It will save you a lot of running around trying to collect narcoberries. Kill off as many predators surrounding the area for meat and to lessen the chance they will attack your unconscious raptor and lower your effectiveness rate. If you find yourself with no narcotics or narcoberries you can punch or hit it with a club to increase torpor, but it's health and effectiveness will decrease. (Only use hitting technique in case of emergency)! Finally if you happen to KO the raptor in a place that you're not to familiar with lay down a standing torch near it. It'll help guide you to the unconscious body and provide warmth.

Make ~10 narco arrows and 3 bolas and look for a raptor, go near it, when it runs after you bola it and start hitting it with tranqs in the head until it's out

If you have a bow you will be fine but watch out for alphas... NO!!!! IM HAVING BAD MEMORIES NOW CALL 911 IM HYPERVENTILATING!!!!!

Try ramming the raptor into a wooden cage. Close the cage k.o it and then tame it with raw mutton. Bring about 60 raw mutton because it spoils.

The new TLC Raptors travel in packs and have a pounce ability now. This makes them harder to tame. I suggest having a parasaur and scaring most of them away and tame the one you want with a bola and tranqs/stones.

Taming a raptor easy when your a high level player all you need is good aiming skills while using your bola at the EXACT time, trust me I've missed and got my face mauled by one

PS: NEVER tame alpha raptors of any sort and if you do its your funeral

If it happens that an alpha raptor is near your base and you're worrying about your dinos to be killed, get a swimmer pet and kite it to the water and tadaa enjoy some xp

The new TLC raptors have a pounce ability. If you are looking to tame a raptor, be sure to always have a trike or something following you to save your ass if you get pounced. To avoid getting pounced, always have several bolas in your pocket. If you don’t follow my tips and you get pounced, curl up in a ball, and kiss your ass goodnight - Lil G.T

Rest In Peace biggie Rest In Peace biggie. Biggie was a gud raptor and died in battle against a spino biggie and me killed so much nubs together and plus upvote if u think reviving animals need less amber

You dont need to be faster than it to escape, bring somone slow and bola them for extra time. 😎 😢🐲

Get High level thorny dragon and tail slap it in the face

New to ark. Found a lv 4 alpha female raptor. Threw bola then wasted 9 tranc arrows. Why didn't it get knocked out? Had to kill it to fend of constant threats. My lv 29 character barely escaped and lost 4 tames. Why didn't tranc work? 1st alpha I found too. 2 of those dam troodon bastards where next to her like guards. I thought she would be easy to get... More wild raptor showed up shortly after killing lv 12 troodon. Do alphas have any triggers for help or defense?

Super easy tame! Just throw a bola (usually need about 3) and beat with a wooden bat, super helpful for fighting any dino

Find one alone or kill the others then shoot with tranq arrows or tranq darts because they have low torpidity.

Just carry a bola with u and use it on them. Then start beating it with fists or clubs to k.o them and they become ur pet

A sizeable group with 600 health and 250% melee damage will keep you safe from most dangers.

Make it to where we can tame the Alphas!!! I have encountered 4 Alpha raptors on Cragg's Island. You do get awesome stuff for killing them but it would be more awesome to tame them..

They are Clever.
