Encountering Tips

How do I kill a raptor? raptor battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
It’s a coward and it’s pathetic they hunt in packs the best way to lose one is to zigzag
Do not be like me and don’t encounter it with only a level 27 tek parasaur. I miss my Rodney
im in me undies punching a tree and BOOM out of nowhere there bastards come and try and kill meh im runnin for me life i run out of stam and they strip me naked and were me like some sort of hand puppet!
I see these guys all the time and I never have a Dino to come help me. If you don’t have bolas RUN. These guys rarely go alone. They always have at least one friend to kill you. Don’t underestimate them. Good luck
Small weak chickens common in jungle rare in jungle when you try tame 1
If your trying to tame one of these, for the love of god do not bring a Dino with you (though it may depend) I brought my parasaur with me to get a raptor, I got pounced, died and never saw my mount or stuff again. Or if you need a mount, put it somewhere safe once you do find a raptor to tame.
I woke up one time and raptors were eating my thatch base, I rounded them up and went back to my base and luckily they didn’t get to my bed OR my chest. I got very lucky and I have now upgraded my base to wood. I recommend u don’t build a base from thatch, wait for wood first
Tip to kill/farm alpha raptors: do the terror bird hunt and you will usually get Mastercraft or journeyman sword, if you get a weak sword then move on to step 2
Step 2: tame a direbear or therizino, they do a shit ton of damage and have decent knockback, you can also tame trikes but they dont have as much health and dont do as much damage as direbear or therizino, if you perfer on using trikes, be sure to level up melee and health, thats all you need, i do also recommend on leveling stamina because your gonna be fighting for a long time but thats up to you
Step 3: locate the alpha raptor and kill it, if there’s 2 alpha raptors then you need to lead the second one to a parasaur or phiomia, make sure there are no annoying microraptors that will knock you off and get you killed, if your near a river, run to the deepwater, this will trick the alpha raptor that your not there since alpha raptors dont aggro on you or your dinos underwater, thats all, hopefully this helps
Stay clear of them until you can make bolas. Find one by itself. Tame. Keep it alive until you can get it friend. Wild Raptors generally travel in packs and you only have one. It will die. Once you get two you can take a little more risk. 3 or more and you will feel a lot more safe out from your wood 2x1 base. Get 10 and you feel invincible.
I keep seeing people say they never find them again but you can, go to player profile (like you would to level up) it will say how many tames you have click that and you ca. Request them they lose everything in inventory but you get them back (not sure about tack)
In my experience you don't want to encounter this unless you have put quite a few points in speed
Part three: I went back to the place and turns out it was a raptor. It jumped on me and took me off my parasaur, but my brave tales fought it off. It ran off and attacked a wild parasaur, but my dilo followed it and killed it.
Currently hiding on top of a rock, at night, being circled by either one of these or a dilo. It’s making some really freaky growling noises and I pray it’s a dilo cause otherwise I’m dead.
Every time I try to explore this thing jumps and kills me
The best thing to do when being chased by a rapper is to cross a river they are slow swimmers
If you see a raptor with red mist around it go the other way unless your ready to take on a raptor with A FREAKING 3000 HEALTH
I killed one Alpha while I was lvl 45
Short tip for mobile users who encounter an Alpha Raptor. Judt finish the Terror Bird Hunt pursuit , get the Ascendant sword and slash the Alpha while strafing and dodging. (That's how I killed my first Alpha Raptor lol)
Best way to kill alpha raptor is trike. Its Easy. You have to click attack button (when you are riding the trike) when A.raptor is few meter away and it will pushed back. repeat it again and again. don’t let it to come near the trike or it will able to attack. only problem is trike easily run out of stamina. I have done this 2 times with x2 xp mutiplier and once killed your trike will up by 6+ levels
Dude I saw an Alpha maul 2 therizinos to death
