How do I kill a raptor? raptor encountering and battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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
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.
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
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..
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
I hate this thing so much that I raised an army of dodos to kill them. They deserve this humiliating death.

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
when exploring always bring a fast mount with decent stamina at the time Iguanadon cause in gadropedal form they wast no stamina and are very fst
Ngl when encountering a sarco in the water it’s kinda scary bc how and how fast it swims
