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
For pro or high level taming:
Some of the steps only work on mobile.
What you need:
——————————
Crossbow/Longneck Rifle
3 Tranq Arrows (Bring more just in case.)/3 Tranq Darts (Sorry if I spelled it wrong.)
1 or 2 Bolas/Large Bear Trap
——————————
Food: (Most effective to least effective.) Disclaimer: This is not all foods that you can use.
——————————
Parasaur Kibble
Raw Prime Meat
Raw Prime Fish Meat
Raw Meat
Raw Fish Meat
——————————
Directions: Find a raptor by foot or a mount. (Pterosaurs such as Pteranodon are most effective at finding them.) Travel southeast or northwest. Once you have located your raptor, if it is feeding or attacking something, wait until it’s done. When it’s done, wind up your bola and approach it slowly. If you are using the Large Bear Trap, place it. When the raptor chases you, throw the bola. If you have a bear trap set, lure the raptor by crossbow or walk up to it. When the raptor is immobilized, shoot it 2 or 3 times with Tranq Arrows. If it is high level, shoot it with four Tranq Arrows. When unconscious, feed it with something. Your choice. Once you are done taming, create a Raptor Saddle. When mounted, this destroyer will kill anything weaker than it. It can also perform a pounce attack to anything smaller or equal size to it. Last step: Change settings by clicking the fossil if needed, then name it.
Tips: When mounted, this is one of the only dinosaurs which can jump. Starve feeding or regularly feeding, either way is the same. Be careful if they are in a pack; packs can easily kill you! I would suppose that you upgrade it’s health, damage, speed, and sometimes weight.
How to befriend a raptor
1. Watch it get pretty low on health
2. When low around 100 hp punch it or sling shot it

Hope it was useful
Make sure you always kill every other raptor around the one you want to tame, these feckers are cannibals
Easiest way to tame: get them right next to a wall and THROW a boomerang at its head repeatedly. 11 hits for a lvl 150. Can also be used to kill it if you do the melee
So for the newbies that don’t have enough Engrams :
1: Find a raptor
2: Equip your Bola
3: let it charge you when it’s close release the Bola
4: go at his side or his back ( Don’t go in front of it )
5: keep ponding him till he’s unconscious
6: Feed it meat
Then wait for it to tame .
My dad killed a alpha with 1 spear! So cool. He thought the raptor had him.
How to tame a raptor:
Must have: 2-3 Bolas, 3-5 tranq arrows, [OPTIONAL] Raptor Saddle, meat [Prime or normal.] or Para kibble.
1. Get the high ground and bola the raptor, first try will most definitely be a miss.
2. start shooting it with tranq arrows. You can also use fists, but it'll most likely die.
3. You can wait for it to loose hunger, but they're quick tames so you can feed it instantly.
[OPTIONAL] 4. Saddle it and get it back to your base, let it heal and do anything you want with it after.
LvL up right after taming recommended
Where do alpha raptors spawn I am trying to tame one
A LOT OF PEOPLE DON’T HAVE A RAPTER BUT IT IS A MUCH HARDER TO Tame
Rapter is very fast , so u have to climb a rock or if there is no rocks near to you then u have to make a bola and throw on the rapter then make 4 wooden foundations and 4 wooden wall (place it ) after this you must have 50 raw meat , raw prime meat , or parasaur kibble you have tamed your rapter
So far I have only tamed one of these in Ark Mobile: Okay so they are super easy to tame! You use a club and/or a bola, also you will need a Dino to attack it at the same time, once it is knocked out then just feed it any type of meat! Works for me all the time
