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 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

When u r running away from these guys early game u r probably gonna die so try to run to the closest herbi and aggro the raptor onto it! This saved me an embarrassing amount of times lol

Let’s just say if they find you you better. Hope you have a bola because they will attempt to rip you to shreds especially if they’re in groups. Trust me past experience.

For an alpha, a bronto with good stamina can deal with them no problem, they have massive knock back so no issue

Or you can get a journey man sword and do it yourself

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.

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.
