Don’t go into the forest without multiple bolas
The raptors wil-
Person was killed by Raptor - Lvl 50
Bola raptor so it can’t pounce on you cause when it pounces you can’t do anything except sit there and watch it kill you.
Do not try to bola an alpha raptor!
Raptor taming guide
1. Craft bolas (there can be a pack, a lone raptor is rare)
2. Bola the raptor and use either a club or tranq arrows
3. Feed it any type of meat (idk about fish meat)
4. Wait for it to tame
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.
Just tamed a level 250 (after taming 317) raptor using bow and tranq arrow. Easiest way is to get yourself stuck on a ledge where raptor can't reach you (mere centimetres away from you so it doesn't move and you can headshot it a dozen times).
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)
It says they can’t fit through doors.But they can.I tested this multiple times.
IN MOBILE THEY CAN FIT THROUGH DOOR FRAMES
So basically, I'm new to Ark and I Caught a level 4 raptor. I named it Echo and i usually ride him when hunting for meat. Then I learned that they are actually great tames when gathering meat and running away but make sure to upgrade it's health and stamina so that he can endure attacks long enough to run away. Make sure to protect it well especially if it's low level. I hope this helps and take care.
If you are trying to get away have bolas if not you can lose it it water it swims slower than you
The simplest way to catch these guys is to bola them.
A high rock is ideal, but I’ve had that blow in my face a couple of times. Here’s how I do it:
1.) get in raptor’s line of sight with your bola already swinging. He’ll run in a straight line towards you… it’s hard not to miss.
2.) hit raptor with bola just as he is about to grab you, so there’s no chance of you missing.
3.) get behind trapped raptor and beat him unconscious with either club or fists. The reason I say behind is that if you’re in front and you approach him, he can grab and pin you still. Learned this the hard way once or twice…
You got him! Feed it raw meat, and enjoy. I have five lvl 10-20 raptors, and they kill theris and carnos in a matter of seconds. They’re a must have.
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!!!
3 or more Raptors give you a pack boost. Breed these babies and be unstoppable
Don’t leave your door open last time this happened to me I died after getting a lot of meat.
If you want a quick level up, make a wooden cage (it's one thing) and lead an alpha towards it. Stand behind it and let it walk in, it won't be able to escape. Just close the door, and slingshot it until dead. Only, you need to level up your stamina and speed if you want to make it to the cage. Sounds kinda hard, but it's really easy, even if your a new player.
Watch out for the alpha Raptors they have 3000 health ….. found that out the hard way
