How do I kill a raptor? raptor battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Get a high level herb then attack
5he first time I found this guy, I ran into a therizino and the raptor hit 85 and they fought to the death, the raptor fell asleep and I timed it.
Whenever you're exploring a forest with a lot of trees, have some bolas ready. They will come and get you
This dinosaur is a killer and destroyed my tribe mates smithy and mortar and pestle and most deadly of all he killed my tames
So, a thing about Mobile Raptors is they are insanely overpowered anti-survivor creatures on the beaches, the BEACHES. But anyway, I've learned from being jumped dozens of times as a noob and now is that after 3 primary attacks, they jump/pounce on you for 10-15 seconds dealing a lot of damage and you cannot do ANYTHING about it, sadly. There is a way though to avoid this issue by:
1. Kill it before the third attack
2.whistle neutral/attack target on raptor when there is a tame nearby
Here are some creatures a raptor can kindly kidnap you from:
Argentavis
Carnotaurus
Raptor
Phiomia
[none]
And some more, I didn't test you everything
I hope this helps for some mobile guys (if any of you are there) so....

What are you waiting for? Move on to the next tip or some [__] like that? Are you?
Oh right, CPG I am
Can knock you out of a trike and some taller mounts with their 1 meter jump
Stay invisible
If you see a raptor, just tame 5 dodos and then run as fast as you can while the raptor is chasing you.
They may be the weakest alpha but they still kill (ok nvm get a trike to atleast lev 200 then spam it's attack don't move then you have a dead prime meat explosion)
This works, if not just put 👇 but if it did help pls put 👆
So plp can see
Do not kill, drops aren't worth it
Try to tame it.
Rapte
When I was a noob, and saw a raptor for the first time, I thought: eh another small carnivore, probably as weak as a dilo... So I went to manhandle it with a bow, went well till the pack came, then one pounced and you know the rest. Be careful, they are far more dangerous than their size suggests
They are good tames but, they can sometimes jumpscare you. 😂
If you can bola the utahrapter and it doesn’t count trap it with a net of a trap but leaps I’ll just say
GHAST GHAST GHAST GOTTA GHAST
Don’t run try to fight back or reach high ground it’s really strong
If encountered use bola to stun it does not have much health so you can use pike to kill it
How to survive raptors
1. Craft a bunch of bolas incase you miss or there is a pack
2. Get a weapon of your chose (above 50 damage) i prefer shotguns
3. Bola them then shoot/stab them until they die
So Alpha Raptor can damage wood! But the Wiki says they Can’t!!!!!!
If you have a parasaur, first thing to do is level up its movement speed.
Carful with the alphas I about died with my meawing
