What are tips for raptor? Tips and strategies for raptor in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Hi! I don’t really post many tips often but here you are! Here is how to tame one of these guys ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) (THIS IS FOR MOBILE)
What will you need?
Some meat, can be cooked. Works best with prime and parasaur kibble though (The amount depends on the level but if you don’t know the level bring around 15 if playing on easy, 20 if on medium and on and on)
Bola (bring multiple just in case there is a pack 1-5)
Tranq arrows (OPTIONAL)
That’s pretty much it! Now to the taming.
Step 1
Get as far as you can without letting it see you , wait for it to come running at you then when you’re confident it won’t miss , throw a bola FAST.
Step 2
If you brought tranqs , start shooting it with them till it falls , if not you can use a club or even your fists! DONT USE A WEAPON IT WILL DIE!
Step 3
Put the meat/kibble in its inventory and begin waiting, GUARD THE AREA FROM ANYTHING THAT WILL ATTACK IT OR ITS PACK.
GOOD LUCK!!
Note from me : EVERYONE WHO ENJOYED ! READ NOW !
Please raise this to the sky so more people will see it , I will do these tutorials on many different creatures so watch out for the “GOOD LUCK” at the end or this exact message .
If you are wondering how to tame a raptor you only need to have 1-3 bolas and a club or tranqs. Bola them and starting knocking it out then feed it meat.
Fun fact the raptors in ark aren't Velociraptors they're Utahraptors
If you are a beginner then I prefer you to run, unless you have a bola.
To tame 1. Bola it
2. Hit it with hands/bat NOT AT HEAD
3.Tame it with meat-beginner’s
I learned that in ASA, Raptors can fit through doors now. This was not a fun learning experience.
Make sure to scope it out BEFORE attempting to kill or tame. If you enter an area that you saw it previously and no longer see it it may have hid to pounce on you. They can and will sneak behind you and surprise attack you. Make sure you see it from outside of its detection range, prepare a bola, get close enough to bola it, and then pelt it with a couple tranq arrows. DO NOT turn your Dino’s on peaceful until AFTER you’ve bolaed it. If it sneaks up on you or another one sneaks up on you the only way your getting out of a pounce attack is with Dino support. These are great hunters and defenders but that means that when taming there must be extra caution and your eyes but always be on them in the taming process. It’s an easy bola and two tranqs but they are crafty and will ese you alive if you do it wrong.
1. Bola it.
2.Tranq it.
3.put meat in his inventory.
4.have fun with your new Raptor. :)
How to tame:
1. Craft bolas, a wooden club, and/or a bow and tranq arrows
2. Find a raptor (if you’re new, preferably alone)
3. Throw bola, but keep your distance
4. Get behind it and knock out (so it can’t hit you)
5. Put raw meat in inventory (you may need to get more)
6. Protect it and view its inventory to see how much meat is left
7. Enjoy this new and powerful pet of yours

Level it up health and melee attack only, sometimes weight, and you’ve got a literal hunting and killing machine. I suggest crafting a saddle. Also, create a pack of tames. They can be raptors or other dinos on the Island that are available to you. I have two raptors, a trike, two carboneys, a parasaur, two dilos, and two pachys. Create a tribe of tames and roam your land.
You can tame these guys with just 9 and an club bolas just incase its an high level:
1-first if it’s not alone and you can’t kill them just go find another then if you find an alone one
2- bola it then start clubbing its back so it can bite you
3- feed it raw meat and get a few narcotics and if you don’t have narcotics use narcoberries
4- tadada you have an meat farming machine just saddle it up and focus on melee and stamina and health
I hate these things when I’m in aberration like wtf they can pounce on you. Ark devs hopefully fix in ascendente or they gust did that on purpose one way or another they know how to annoy me popping at the worst time.
Just a reminder or tip they can pounce and knock you off your tame. Don't be like me
I kinda miss the wild aberrant raptor pounce ability
It made early game much more difficult and fun
I get it if you dont agree its just my opinion

On mobile a taming two of three of these and leveling them up will allow you to take almost anything. Keep their inv full of food and their health basically never goes down. One of the best tames I’ve found because they’re speedy killers and regain Health at unheard of speeds
The Raptor
Craft 8-12 Bolas 3 pikes a bow 30 tranq arrows and wear a shield 🛡 (incase)
Approach it slowly and bola it then tranq it 2-3 tranqs per raptor
I have currently 5 so just tame em until you reach 6 raptors saddle the strongest 💪
You can actually trap alpha raptors in regular cages!!!!!!

There were four creatures attacking you and there was only one tame that could stop them but when the world needed it most, it vanished
