How do I kill a raptor? raptor battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Fun fact when u kill them there is sometimes stuff in the inventory I did not know that but learned it with a price
RIP pit
-the noob
Just jumped out of nowhere onto me
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.
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.
I HATE THEM THEY CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND KILLED MY PHIOMIA DUCK THEY CAN BURN IN HELL
Whenever u stumble accross one of these just run and try to run it any other creature like a trike diplo a parasaur it will be distracted, use that opputunity to run.do not engage head on unless u have a good armor and weapon
These guys are very annoying when you're taming things one of em killed my knocked out therezino I was at 50% beware new players but if you're strong enough bring you're spino and wipe you're area of these guys
Step one: you wanna go in the forest (or near a swamp) bola him/her go behind and use a club or your fists to knock it out.step two: go in its inventory and put in raw meat.it’s that simple
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
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 👍
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!
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.
Be careful with this guys they can throw u off your mounts im still new and i didn't know this I'm trying aberration for the 1st time and they got me and my scorpion
Don't just use fist for knock backing it use wire traps narcotics and make them follow you till reaching the traps
I walked around my base I had no bed because I just built base. Then I walked out to get resources and boom, a pack of raptors. I Died and lost all of my things I found and they just camped there.
These fast bois come in packs and if you are on you’re mount they can pounce on you and de-mount you.
Just have a bola and a tranq and bola it and tranq it in the head
This is just about the game being an a**hole that includes raptor but not a tip about raptor. Okay so there that “daily pursuit” thing where you get rewards or whatever and on mobile you get ancient amber and the amount of amber you receive increase the longer you do it in a row right? Okay so today it was a pursuit of killing an alpha raptor which isn’t a big deal I knew some of their location in case I needed for this exact reason. I go over there with my spino to where I last seen a alpha raptor, didn’t find it there. I went to another location where I’ve seen an alpha raptor there as well and surprise surprise it wasn’t there either. So I go back home get on my griffin start flying around in case I see one. I went to the redwoods the island near the red obelisk(The Island Map) and the snow area and the mountains. As I didn’t find an alpha raptors I decided to check on a Giga that I’ve been deciding to tame or not but as I go to that giga location it has despawn as well (not surprised)the alphas raptors COMPLETELY disappeared when I needed them and I didn’t find one at all causing me to lose my daily pursuit 8th days. Now it isn’t hard to come back from that but it’s just the fact that the fu*ken game did that 💩 on propose is what got me mad. Anyways have a nice day and I hope this crap doesn’t happen to you🙃
