If your new to ark and see one of these dont go head to head.run for your life.level up, get some good armour and a decent weapon then have at it with the little thugs.you see an alpha run whatever level you are!

Don't worry alpha versions of these creature DON'S POUNCE so you don't have to worry about being dismounted from your tame

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

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

Small weak chickens common in jungle rare in jungle when you try tame 1

For the low level caves get some level 105+ raptors I recommend at least 2 or 3 raptors use their lack ability boom beated the south cabe

(I don’t know if it works on PC or console, but I only tried it on mobile)Guys, stop struggling about trying to defeat an Alpha Raptor! I know the easiest and cheapest way to kill them! But you need to have a flying dinosaur, which should be easy to tame, you can use the Pteranodon, it works perfectly! First of all, place a wooden cage on a flat place, if it isn’t flat, it would be harder to do, so place it on flat land, then lure the Alpha Raptor inside the cage using your Pteranodon(fly the Pteranodon above the cage). Also don’t forget to open the cage door before doing that! When the Alpha Raptor is stuck in the cage, quickly close the cage door. It might do some spinning and dancing in there, LOL! Next bring a crossbow, with 50-70 stone arrows, the amount of arrows depend on the Alpha Raptor’s level. But if you’re using a bow, maybe bring 130-150 stone arrows, then start shooting it with your bow/crossbow, then when it’s dead… CONGRATULATIONS! You just defeated an Alpha Raptor! I hope this helped and good luck! Next, I will do how to tame a Raptor! —Pablo
