How do I kill a raptor? raptor encountering and battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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
I Was hunting some dilos and 3 2 1 i ded so i Go home I grab big barryonix and kill da idiot
I don’t mind them, but they get annoying when they LITERALLY KILL THE THERIZINO AND QUETZAL LYING ON THE GROUND THAT WERE VERY HIGH LEVELS. They also killed the Tapejara that I really wanted to tame too. And, well, you know what happened in early game.
What makes a raptor deadly is it’s pounce attack, which renders the target similar to torpor unconcious for a few seconds( you will not gain torpor, but you will be helpless). During this timeframe a raptor can use its biting attacks while in the pounce stage to inflict serious damage to you and your armor. However, if you ride a medium/large mount, you can negate the pounce, making the raptor a nuisance rather than a killing machine.
Up if you found this helpful.
So I was with my Trike by west zone 2 doing a note run and I see 1 raptor in the distance so I knock it out with my club and whilst I'm taming it I find a pack of raptors my trike was level 54 so it was doing fine and after I tamed it I died to the alpha and after my trike and raptor killed the alpha
Beware of the alphas
I was using spyglass ona therizino and the alpha raptor literally one shotted it
Well.-
I killed it after it went to my base😂
