Here is a good mobile tip.

When exploring early in the game, always carry 4 to 5 bolas with you. DO NOT HEAD INTO HEAVILY WOODED AREAS OR AREAS WITH LOTS OF VEGETATION. That will prevent any ambushes. If you want to hunt raptors, stay in an open space. You will be able to see and bola the raptor. I recommend using a ranged weapon like the bow you got from hunting dilos. A spear is okay but the bow will kill it faster than throwing the spear. To help minimize the chance of being pounced, move around and not forward. If you see a group of 3, retreat immediately because from experience, I never had survived a small group of raptors without being almost or completely dead.

I was out riding my raptor queen when two other raptors jumped me I had to get off of quenn and shw died and they were going after me so I used my bolas to bolas them and kill them up for rip queen

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

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.

NEW PLAYERS BEWARE if you are looking to tame one then keep your distance and use tranq arrows. This might be upsetting for some because you don’t have tranq arrows yet but you can use a bola instead. Also you don’t need narcotics for it. And before you know it you will be taming a rex! When all of a sudden you are being eaten alive by the islands most annoying..

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

The quickest way is with a rifle and tranq arrow if you don’t have then you can just use tranq arrows and a crossbow or bow I ussualy knock out creatures then kill them sometimes one shot with a rifle and dart and it will run away and be knocked out it won’t have a chance to get to you

People who die to these are definitely beach bobs. You only need Bola.

I was so close to taming an equss UNTIL THIS MOTHERF##ING D#CKHEAD CAME INTO THE MIX the equss likes to near THESE F#KING S##THEADS they like to live in a place I like to call F#CKERVILLE
