Don’t go into the forest without multiple bolas
The raptors wil-
Person was killed by Raptor - Lvl 50
Do not try to bola an alpha raptor!
Early levels things things can make your life miserable. Try to get it to agro a trike or lure it away from your base, even if it kills you.
I just make a trap,
6 wood foundations
8 wooden stairs
10 wooden walls (all on each foundation)
2 wood ceilings
1 ladder
Put the foundation in two rows of three-
⬜⬜⬜
⬜⬜⬜ like that but without the space in the middle
Then put the walls around it
After that put 4 stairs on each side of the trap (2 at the top and 2 in the ground)
Then put the 2 wood ceilings in the middle of the trap. (This will cause the raptor to be too big to move, it might stay still)
Put the ladder some where near the ceiling so you can get up on it. So when a raptor is chasing you you can run up the stairs and jump on the ceiling, but aberration would be harder cuz the Raptors jump, but if not on aberration, the raptor should fall in, then go on the ceiling and start tranquilizing it or just hit it, itll become unconscious! (I learned this by experience.)
When pinned by a raptor, jump. Press the button to jump as fast as you can as many times aa you can, and yoy will get up.
You know those orange'y cloud emitting Raptors? Yeah, don't approach, it tore down all 5 of my best raptors then I was next (you can guess pretty well what happened next, still not over losing my precious raptor T-T)
IN MOBILE THEY CAN FIT THROUGH DOOR FRAMES
If you are trying to get away have bolas if not you can lose it it water it swims slower than you
Once I was taming raptors when I saw an alpha raptor. I thought “these things can’t be any worse than a bronto “ so I get out my shotgun and shoot at it .
I think you can guess what happened. IT DESTROYED ME!!!! Lesson?
DONT MESS WITH ALPHA RAPTORS!!!
It says they can’t fit through doors.But they can.I tested this multiple times.
Don't expect an easy ride,
If encountered, I will not hide
One pounce and you're down
Then my friends come around
And our numbers quickly turn the tide.
If you see one that looks like it's covered in hot cheeto dust, DO NOT APPROACH... You can't handle that spice.

If you are trying to find an alpha raptor to get exp, I found a bunch of them around the river between the hidden lake and the redwoods. If you want to kill them, an argy with a lot of melee dmg works really well.
Escape run as fast as you can invest level up points in your Stam and speed
Can now dismount you from your tame and pin you down to make them more annoying, thanks for the new update ark devs :)))
Don’t leave your door open last time this happened to me I died after getting a lot of meat.
Be careful with Alpha Raptors they will kill every thing and you can’t even tame them. A level two Alpha killed two level 60 raptors of mine and it then killed.
I lost my igaunadon and Pera to these boys ( and girls )
I was so triggered that I gave up
I also knocked out an Igaunadon and Tried to tame it but my phone died after...

If you’re riding a raptor pounce on the wild one before I pounces one you(it’s works on mobile)
Haven't seen anyone Writing it so here I go..
You actually can roll out of his jumpy attack by pressing space in the right time.
I was running around, then I see ‘You have entered a dangerous area’ and I thought it was just another there but it turned out to be an alpha raptor when I saw a bunch of dead trikes around.
