Encountering Tips

How do I kill a raptor? raptor encountering and battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
This is not a Velociraptor!!!! Ark raptors are actually a sub species of Utahraptor!
When I was on a adventure with my allosaurus I found a pack of 5 raptors I managed to tame them all I also named them Blue,Charlie,Echo,Delta and Tango when I visited the raptors in their cage I saw Blue mating with Tango and their new egg after that day I saw a Spino heading towards my base it was coming near the raptors so I decided to make spike wall and lure Spino near raptor cage to kill it I succeeded but it was another Spino coming near the raptors so I decided to lure Spino into a empty cage where it was trapped and knocked out so I decided to tame it
I scare of them not because they dangerous, im scare of them because they can throw me off my mount and pin me down so other dino could come and beat me up
If you get pinned by a Raptor on Mobile, start praying that you have enough health to outlast its attack
Once you learn to craft bolas, these guys are not a major threat anymore.
So basically I tamed two dodos when it was night I entered my base but I realized I made a big mistake since there was a raptor close to my base and I left my dodos outside and I heard the dodos get attacked by a raptor and it was trying to get to my base once it destroyed my door I tried fighting it but the most annoying thing about them is that they literally pounce on you and you can't do anything so that's what happened and no matter what happens I keep dying because of raptors.
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
