How do I kill a raptor? raptor battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I tried taming one of these but miserably failed, I then had to use my parasaurolophus Peter to get my loot back. He then died but I got my loot and killed the evil raptor. RIP Peter
Ok so in the ark you are starting of you think you are good because you have a dodo and then a raptor knoks on your door you open the door and bop the raptor on the head so then it bites your head off. Ark logic
Shields can block the damage from the raptor's pounce.
I saw 3 alpha raptors and like 40 deinonychus chasing gallimimus wtf?
I tamed a level 108 raptor and a rex killed her and I recomend dont want to die? Do 0.0 player ressistence and even a rex wont kill you or anything
When facing the ‘thugs of ark’ they will run towards the player and jump on them, pinning them down, they then proceed to RIP YOU TO SHREDS.
However for a low level player their is a trick that can be used against these vermin, they attack any neutral or passive animial, so if a player were to run by another animial, the raptor will attack them and if it attacks neutral animals like Trikes or Stegou’s then there is a chance they will die
Usually spawn in the south of the island also known as the war zones of the south
Roses are red violets are blue raptors are cool but ass holes to
Be careful! These guys can jump and knock you off your saddle! I got dismounted from my lvl 53. Carno!
I killed an Alpha that was to close to my base ( I must give some of the credit to my argy who the the killing I just harvested the body to get the prime meat)
If you encounter a alpha raptor,make a cage and get inside it and leave the door open.once it gets in attack it as quick as you can,since it cant pounce on you cuse your in a cage it makes it easier.(this dosent work for starter players with no chitin armor or sword)
To escape a raptor i reccomend having a bola on you. Running while being chased by a raptor will not save you unless you pump into movement speed. You should bola the raptor first then run away, kill it, or tame it.
Here's an easy way to deal with alpha raptors : step one : once you get to lvl 35 you'll get the hunt terror bird pursuit make sure to unlock the sword.. then use a flyer like a pteranadon to go to he redwoods.. you can use a sword to kill them like the pursuit tells you or use something else to kill it like the flyer you have.. oh yeah I forgot you need lvl 38 for a pteranadon saddle so wait until you have that then go do it..once you kill three the pursuit is completed and you'll get an ascendant sword that can do up to 800 damage if you have high enough melee damage... 236%.. then if you dont have a raptor already get a raptor and put a saddle on... then clear out all the normal raptors that you don't want cause they can pounce you.. an alpha raptor can't pounce once your done clearing all the normal raptors nearby pounce the alpha raptor with a tamed raptor and use your ascendant sword to finish it off. You can use weopons on a raptors back.
Remove their pouncing and i would be so happy.
HOW TO SURVIVE A RAPTOR ENCOUNTER:Raptors aren’t the brightest so if you have spikes place one in front of the raptor,the creature will stay behind the spikes allowing you to escape.If you don't have spikes then you can use a bola to temporarily stop it from moving, and in that time you can run away from it.If you don't have any of these then good luck getting away from that thing 😂 might as well just try killing it.
Instead of bola-ing your friend and then running how about bola-ing the raptor
Quick tip if you have a wooden base and a raptor is chasing you go inside of your base and it will attack your base and then tranq it out and boom you got a raptor ( It can’t do damage on wood )
Funny seen this playing around with many dilophosaur LOL. (after that raptor see me and eat me) :(
Always carry a crossbow and lots of arrows these things will come running at you and eat you whole. If you want to survive try shooting them from a safe distance or from water if not consider yourself dead.
On a server, I killed a lvl 40 alpha
