Encountering Tips

How do I kill a raptor? raptor encountering and battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Don’t go in with a turtle when trying to tame this thing the turtle will kill it easily trust me.
I encountered an alpha raptor, pulled the ol' mountain trick on it (Basically just rub up to the side of a mountain and climb uphill, that way it can't climb up to you)
Tbh the mountain trick works on most things, I used it to kill a level 100+ (Pretty sure level 135) Therizinosaur or whatever it was called. Just make sure to bring lots of arrows. Oh, and if you have good aim you can get an achievement thing which gives you an ascendant bow.
Can someone please help me I keep on dieing from a raptor earth Time I just try to get back my stuff from dying and my f***** dilo I have five of them and they aren't f***** helpin me the f***** cowards
Ayo! It’s 2022! Happy new year, my dudes!
For this to be a tip, uh raptors can and will jump on top of you and pin you until you only have one health left. So be fast.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

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.
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
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
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
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
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
