With a good argy the alphas aren’t that scary

They hit very fast rip and will never stop attacking once it's hitting you

If your investing in hunting raptors (it's good to tame them aswell) then I recommend you bola it and the spear it to death... or arrow it......or...uhhh bull-et it to.. uhh death.. yah know what just kill it with whatever you have.be smart and use certain weapons depending on its level.

So I just started right and ever time I would spon in the same spot over and over and would get jumped by it and every time 10 times in a row I would poop my pans

The alpha raptor is ez

I killed one in like 6 shots from my longneck rifle (It’s a mastercraft with like 500 damage but did like 400 to it)

So yeah. I didn’t even get a full level from it tho

I had a lvl 190 raptor and lvl 135 raptor I took them with me in a journey to the redwoods on the way I was hunting I used the raptor special attack on ants and I went underground and suddenly got teleported to the redwoods

If a raptor starts attacking your flyer do not spam the ride button because you can get up and then immediately get off and then your whole family will die and your hope for getting more flyers will also die and you will die inside as well so keep that in mind.

Never tame it I was on a rock and there were rapters everywhere

One of them went away then a few minutes after a trex was chasing it went for me the rapter making the trex go for me and kill me

If encoutering a orange glow in the darkness you reallise its a GLOW OF DOOM why ITS AN NO ALPHA HAHAHAHA

My dilophosauras wont attack it, and so does the raptor. I really want my dilo back but it keeps going near a raptor.

The reason why the dilo is even there is because, when I had a parasaur and a dilo, I found a raptor in the middle of taming the said parasaur and balo'd it but the dilo killed the raptor before I can knock it out with a club (I didn't have a tranq arrow at the time) so I decided to look for a raptor, and found a pack, but it looked like 2 at first and I had 3 balos, so I thrown one at one raptor and missed, and tried again and hit, and missed with the other raptor, another raptor came in and fought me, My parasaur was fighting the raptors for a long time while dilo is just sitting there like "wait, those are my friends!"

Altho I'm not sure because I died before that so..

I tried to get my loot back over and over and I died to everything on the way, EVERY FREAKING THING!

Later when the loot prob despawned I saw my dilo, still alive and I was shocked, and thought to myself, how did they survive that many raptors?

But then I found another raptor and got killed by it and I didn't see it attacking the raptor..

Yeah that's how dangerous these guys are in early game when you are heavily unprepared or have too little guard dogs.

If I had a gravestone for every tamed animal and homo saipens dead, I'd fit 69 sextillion things.

That's how unfamiliar I am at ark in pc.

If any one is about to be pounced by one these simply pull out a sword and wack away works great. (Though having a tame as backup makes the job easier)

These things tock me ages to find 1

Be carefull i just spent about 2 hours looking for a rapter i had 50 traq arows and around 30 to 40 narqotics and as im exploring one jumps behind mart and i die the morall of the story is " they can be power full from behind time to stary again yay"

Always carry bolas I had just tamed a taprjara and got off my argy to get meat and two rapper started attacking me I hit one with a bola while it was running at me and then got his buddy and made a James bond type escape back to my base 38th my bird's

You find the raptors near the canyons 🧗‍♂️🧗🧗‍♀️🧗‍♀️🧗🧗‍♂️🧗‍♂️🧗🧗‍♀️🧗‍♀️🧗🧗‍♂️🧗‍♂️🧗‍♀️🧗‍♀️🧗‍♂️🧗‍♂️🧗‍♀️🦖🦕🦕

Make a 9x9 wood or stone foundation and then place 2 door frames on top of each other all around and have ramps facing its direction and get it’s attention. And then run 🏃 on the ramps into the trap and then get out the trap or it will kill you . And shoot the raptor until you KO it. Then feed it and tame it!!!!!! Easy, right?🦖🦕🦖🦕🦖🦕🦖🦕🦖🦕🦖🦕🦖🦕🦖🦕🦖🦕🦖🦕🦖🦕🦖🦕🦖🦕🦖🦕🦖🦕🦖🦕

Always have a bola in your hotbar, make it one of the first things you make. Like seriously there is no place safe from raptors so make sure to make like 5+ bolas the moment you get them. Bolas last for 20 seconds on dinosaurs, so take note of that to time your bola throwing when fighting these guys. If you don’t bola them they’ll pounce on you and rip your face out while you’re immobilised. Also DO NOT underestimate raptors’ damage output, they attack so fast they ripped through my 1000 hp para with 50% damage reduction in like 10 seconds.

If ya encounter a raptor just tame it with a bola meat and a saddle you need 110 hide

Throw a bola at it, and then attack it from behind. Recommended weapons:

Sword

Pike

Metal Hatchet

and Bow

YOU VANT TAME ALPHAS, NO MATTER THE ALPHAS! I learned the hard way when a lvl 7 female alpha killed my lvl 20 pterry the pteranodon. UP FOR RESPECT FOR PTERRY AND SO NOOBS KNOW
