How do I kill a raptor? raptor battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
A whole pack attacked me. I was on a cliff side and muttered the words “clever girl” before the thing pounced me off a cliff taking both of us down
When encountering this creature…you don’t have to be fast enough…you just have to have another player with you…and a bola.
I had a beautiful raptor that I used to kill a raptor and even a terivino he was a level 125 but when I ran into a carno I got killed emidiatly but my raptor killed him and I never found him again because he had wondering on
The Island map raptor location guide: you can find these guys at the riverbank that seperates southzone 1 island and the south zone 2 area, or the mideast-southeast coast of the island.
Survival tip: When you are approached by a raptor, find the nearest source of water that is a deep enough for you to be able to swim in. Make sure to swim far out enough just so that the raptor doesn't kill you and mega piranhas do not attack you. It is also safe to go on top of a rock when approached by a raptor and there is no water source nearby.
My one tip is DONT GO NEAR THEM (: they jump on you and kill you and then they eat you
Please help. I am a mobile player and there is a alpha raptor outside my house. It is level 10-15 and my guys are level 8-14 and i dont want them to die, my highest is a level 40 dilo but i know it wont stand a chance. Any tips to save my guys from dying? I am level 64
All there is to say is the are pack hunters also they are.......clever girls
Clever Girl! Tip alway have a Bola on hotbar when walking or riding small Dinos.
Just got my Raptor yesterday, along with a Direwolf. Went out hunting with them, leveled them up got Gill a saddle. -(My Raptor) Then a Therezonasaur, or whatever you call it, popped out of nowhere, killed my Raptor, Direwolf, and me!
I encountered that guy once I thought it was a normal raptor but then I hit him a dozen times with my trike and started to confused because it was so much tougher than the normal and I just killed an alpha raptor with so much XP. Luckily he didn't jump at me😁
Ok, if you’re trying to get XP from an Alpha Raptor....DO NOT TRY TO BOLA IT!!!
I was a complete noob and landed with my Ptera to kill it for some extra XP, but my Ptera and I ended up getting killed. But thankfully I learned my lesson.
Best way to combat these guys is if you have a bola and torch. Bola stops them from moving a torch burns them. If you don’t have a bola a torch can still do some good by itself until you get a bow and arrow or a tame that can fight them easy aka a triceratops or carb or another raptor if you manage to tame one. Remember raptors are pack creatures so….. if you see one there are always more in the area
One time near the swamp, i saw a pack of raptors. There were 9 raptors in that pack. That's all i have to say.
-Someone, somewhere in the world.
A random gangsta with spike head
Cool but deadly
These guys are part of the reason why you should always, ALWAYS have at least 3 bolas on you at ALL TIMES.
If your a beginner do NOT try to fight an entire pack of raptors of you will die try to pick them off one by one.
If you are looking for a raptor go to mountains or the red woods mountain they swarm the hole mountain after killing a few you can find a good level
Alpha’s are near immortal watched it take down two steggos a carno and two trikes i was also shooting with with a rifle and tranqs
To whom who asked for tips about a lvl 10 alpha raptor if your tames are lvl 100 or higher, yes fight it. If not, use metal or wooden spike walls.
