Raptors are basically devils in packs up to 5, but you rarely see any more than that. If you see one and you want to tame it,use a bola.Its not worth it to use stronger.What i do, if i want the females i just take out the males.The good thing with raptors is that they stay in a pack so you can keep an eye on them all at once.
If it's just one you can literally just throw a bola at it and then beat it to death with your bare hands
Can you find these things in south zones
A basic Alpha Raptor Hunting Guide
You will need
A saddled Stego(any armor works)
Veggie Cakes(optional).
1. Find an alpha raptor
2. Clear the area of secondary threats
3. Start swinging at the raptor(it usually gets in roughly 1 hit per 3 stego swings).
4. Keep swinging until the raptor is killed(veggie cakes can be used to heal).
5. Collect your reward
Drops
Raw Prime Meat
Hide
Mid-High teir loot(includes metal tools).
T-Rex skull(hat skin).
If you encounter one cut it off from the rest of the pack or kill all of the other raptors
To the person who said they saw a raptor singlehandedly take down a diplodocus, diplos don’t do any damage, only big knockback.
There is never just one.........
Idk how many times I’ve tried to complete the pursuit, “Hunt raptor”. It’s super stressful. Any tips?
I’ve encountered an alpha raptor once and their pack -___-
These things are a pain in the fking arse, I mean I keep on getting dilos and getting amazing progress but then these pains come out of fricking nowhere and obliterate me. Argh!!!
Too dangerous to tame in the Redwoods, especially at night in most parts. Good luck trying to, especially if your health cap isn’t 1000+ yet, cuz even if its a high level that you want, in that situation your options are either fight, or die.
I had one that I was just about to name, but I was pounced I’m by one of these things and my raptor killed him. They kept coming and we fought well, but sadly he didn’t make it. I was pinned down and he was trying to kill the one on me, but he got pinned too. I screamed for them to let him go but they pay no heed. I was able to get out from under the raptor on me and I rushed over to save my friend, but as soon as my metal pile hit the raptor that was killing my friend, that evil raptor dealt one more blow, causing my best friend being killed and his dead body went off the side of the hill. I slaughtered all the raptors that was remaining around me and I was crying the whole time. I then go down to my fallen hero and it just started raining. I took his implant and was hoping to revive him later. Right now, it is in the innermost of my house and protected by 5 dodos and a scorpion. I will revive you buddy. I miss you so much pal... wait on me please....🥺😭😭😭😭😭
I have a pack of 8 raptors and they can kill almost anything. I initially had a pack of dilos, once I started making tranq arrows, I replaced the pack with raptors.
To day ( march 30 2020 a ten year old on ark level 59 with her tapjara level 28.)Killed a alpha raptor level 4 with 36000 hp, she was so glad because it killed her level 70 raptor, (on the island in the footpaw( the ten year old was me btw) (tapjara name is redwood we love goIng to the redwoods plus her colors are like the redwoods(no one died btw just two raptors)
Here is a tip for efficiently dealing with raptors on foot.
You need:
1x Bow
3x Bolas (for a pack)
15x arrows
While the raptor charges towards you throw the bola at it. While it's immobilized pull your bow to about a quarter way, as this will shoot faster than pulling to full. Spam the quarter way strategy for really fast arrows? This should shred through most raptors.
This also works for other creatures!
I hope this helped!
If your low level and get attacked by a raptor, craft a spear and go underwater and stab it while swimming away
Your certificate you got from band camp will not help you
If people say these things are easy to tame or kill DO NOT LISTON my base was attacked by 2 trike that killed all my dinos and i spawned at my other bed and my trike was under attack by a raptor my trike died then the raptor was after me i opened the door when it circled off and found out it was 3 or 4 raptors all my dinos were dead and i was trapped i had to delete the server
P.S Do not spawn near the west i spawned near a swamp it was a big danger spot and if you go in land its dangouse to
From unkown
Got lucky and found 2 lvl 150 male and female after 3 days..rlly easy to breed and get them to be a killing machine 😀
If u see a low level raptor running towards u, hit them with a tranq arrow. It should torpor run before it kills u with its pounce
