What are tips for raptor? Tips and strategies for raptor in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Its ez to tame or kill these guys just bola him and smack em in the butt cheeks Then you can knock em out or tame em i lreand this form my brother cause he already tamed a raptor :)
If you are going on a trip and see one of these in the distance, GO THE OTHER WAY as soon as they see you they will run at you and you can’t outrun them. One coming at you? The water, that’s all that will save you unless you have a bola.
If you want to tame a raptor in mobile, first, get to an area where the raptor can’t get you ( recommend bow/crossbow ) and tranq it from that area. If the area is dangerous, put wood spikes around if you can.
Also, raw meat is alright to use, but prime meat or kibble is best.
-WARNING- Although it doesn’t say it, they can damage wood. Tested on mobile.
To tame them
Bola
Club or tranq (I recommend tranqs)
Then feed it prime meat or normal meat
Make sure to have a decent amount of nacroberries
Up if this helps.
Once you get flak or chitin, taming these guys is much easier. Just get close enough to agro them, then bola and use tranq arrows. Kill a dodo or para if you are high enough level, and voila! You've got a raptor. Make sure to either tame more or get an opposite gender. Once you have a new raptor of opposite gender, enable mating and let them do the smoochy smoochies and now you have a raptor pack.
After I knocked this thing out 4 alpha raptors ran at the speed of light and ripped my clothes off.
Just a crossbow, tranq arrow, and a stack o’ meat
Here is an easy way to tame raptors:
1) Craft a bow
2) Craft a mortar & pestle & craft tranq arrows with narcotics
3) Craft multiple bolas (4-5 just to be safe)
4) Go near forests or an open, grassy biome and search for a raptor
5) Walk up to it, wait for it to come at you, and bola it when it gets in range (run away or kill it if it's level doesn't meet your expectations)
6) Shoot it every 5 seconds so that it doesn't take too much DMG and it's torpor can rise properly (kill it or run away if you don't like it's stats
6) Feed it raw meat (you can use prime meat, mutton, or kibble) and keep on you narcotics just in case
7) Have fun with your raptor ;p
This thing is actually very easy to tame. All you need is a slingshot with around 20-30 ammo and 2 bolas(prepare some meat to tame).
You're likely find them in a group of 3. Lite one out and bola it while it sprinting towards you, then fire 4-5 shots and bola it again. Make sure there's no threats around the area, it will take around 5 minutes to tame.
If you’re a beginner,
Like me.
Tame four Raptors and you can kill almost anything,
So you could go on long voyages without worrying too much.
No Rex’s or Alpha anything, and you should be fine.
just be careful, and make sure to check their health after a possible close call,
I made that mistake once,
Regretted it.
Also I recommend tranq arrows instead of bola, but I might be using the bola wrong,
So don’t take my word for it.
Though I will mention, Raptors cannot hold that much weight.
unless you tame something that can keep up with the rappers and hold a bit of weight,
(Maybe a Parasaur,
but I haven’t tamed one yet.)
Pack light, and don’t intend on taking too much home.
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
This thing is easy to tame!
You will need:
1. 5-6 bolas (just in case you miss or if there’s a pack)
2. 20-30 Narco/toxin (just in case if it gets conscious to quickly)
3. Bat (or use your fists)
4. Tranq arrows (only use these You don’t wanna kill it)
5. 12-30 meats (raw prime meat could be good too)
Now you are packed! Let’s get started now. Here’s some methods:
Method 1: find a raptor and bola it. Tranq the raptor and begin punching. Once it’s knocked out, feed it the meat you packed. After a few moments, it’s tamed!
Method 2: find a raptor and go to a high place and start shooting it with tranq arrows and bolas. Go down there and punch from the back. Once it’s knocked out, feed it the meat you packed. After a few moments, it’s tamed!
Pls press the button that’s shooting and argy if this was helpful!
-SpecialRaptor
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
So this is Utahraptor.
Not enough raptors, we need Dromaeosaurus, Pyroraptor, and Dakotaraptor. These variants are rarer, a tiny bit less strong, and smaller except the Dakotaraptor, although I want them to have unique abilities. Dromaeosaurus should have a “latch on” ability, Pyroraptor should breath and light up a flammable gas to make it look like it’s breathing fire, and Dakotaraptor should be more cautious, curious, and patient than our regular Utahraptor, as it is big as the Utahraptor.
Dromaeosaurus = Small
Pyroraptor = A little bit smaller than Utahraptor (Rideable)
Dakotaraptor = Bigger as Utahraptor (Rideable)
Up if you want these to be added!
What ever you do at a low level never go for an alpha raptor they are stronger than Rex and potentially spinosaur I tried and I learned not to do it I’m saying it as a tip to new players
If your running from this be near to water(If you near to water it will swim And it will not be able to pounce on you ) HIT IT WITH A PICK( alot)
