Tips & Strategies
This tip is for batteling Alpha Raptors in Ark Survival Ascended.
In ASA, Alpha’s can now eat corpses, but tooday I noticed they can’t eat baby corpes. So If you want to kill an Alpha Raptor, make sure he kills a baby dino and while he’s attacking the corpes put some arrows in the head. I tried it myself and it works!
use tranq arrows and shoot it twice or so while its attacking something and give it meat, quickest fastest way! :)
If u are a low level just bola a single raptor. After they are trapped quickly knock them out. Raptors eat meat. They are fast and decently strong. RIP Clyde.
whoever said they were pounced by an alpha raptor, you meant normal raptor, alpha raptors dont pounce
Speedy, deadly and agile the raptir is the perfect mount for getting around the island if you have just started playing ark. The saddle for the raptor is unlocked at lvl18. Raptors efficiently kill small dinosaurs, and can even kill a trike. Once upgraded they can take on low level Carnotauruses.
If your levels are too low to craft pteranodon saddle i recommend you riding a raptor
Pro tip on raising any child
They will have “wander” set automatically so set it off once you put it in a safe spot (e.g your base, animal pen, etc)

For those of you who have been trying to build a pack, one raptor at a time. Build a 4x4 wooden box. Put one doorway, and make sure there is an extra wall above the door. Put ramps on the opposite side of the door. Find a pack nearby, agro them, and lead them over the ramps and into the box. Exit the door quickly. From then on it's literally like shooting fish in a barrel.
You will need a lot of tranqs, depending on how many are in the pack, and a lot of meat. Don't worry if some of them are low level. The raptor strategy is strength in numbers.
Get enough raptors and you will be unstoppable.
Fairly easy tame. Try to bola it. Just don’t get pounced on or your dead. Knock it out with club, and feed it. Boom. That’s how I got my 2 raptors star and moon.
The raptor is an easy tame taking bout 2 traq arrows to knock. I fed it normal meat and it tamed very very fast.
These guys, for some reason, can't beat turtles. Several times I have seen a 1v1 between a level 30 raptor and level 10 turtle, turtle is barely standing but the raptor goes down regardless. So if you see ONE fighting a turtle, it's a lost cause.
If you encounter an Alpha Raptor, lead it into deep water and make sure it doesn’t go to the shore, get on a rock (if there is one) and you can bow it if you are on the rock or try killing it with a sword or something else
should be your first tame all it requires is a bola and a some meat. honestly ark should make it where it cant be bola’d but here we are you can get a couple of these and your unstopablle
If you want to tame it with a slingshot bola it and hit him in the head. If its low level u shouldnt hit it very hard.
