What are tips for raptor? Tips and strategies for raptor in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
i saw an alpha one time and it killed 3 of my very high level raptors and the first raptor i ever bred and my 2 dodos. It had about 3500 health and was impossible to kill without raptors and i was only on level 38 please stay far away.
These things are beasts, and relatively easy to tame too. Just a small pack of around 2-4 can take on a medium-high level carno, have decent hp, make for a fast mount, have a pounce attack that works on most things smaller than it, and also a pack buff. Also will slow spoil timers for meat in their inventory, and all this is before considering imprinting or stat mutations.
There is a bug or a feature in mobile maybe in pc ok let me explain 🤔when u tame a Dino there food bar will empty because if u tame them after sleeping 😴 and u immediately after 3-4 minutes u knock them unconscious boom their food bar will be empty tip try to hit half torpor at night and use any bed to sleep and after that knock them there food metre will be empty 👁👄👁 work on any Dino try it on dodo first for understanding
How to tame a raptor.
1. Get 2+ bolas for a pack or if you miss.
2. Find the raptors (this step is kind of hard. There always there when you don't want them to and they are not there when you want them!)
3.Pick the raptor closest to you (If there is a pack do this step, if there isn't ignore it.)
4. Try to get it's attention, but when it sees you and runs after you, stop. (If there is a pack, and you get to close they will come after you to.)
5. Wind up the bolas when it starts running after you and trap it.
6. Knock it out with fists or club.
7. Put meat,kibble, ect, but if there are more leave some over.
8: you may want to repeat steps or kill the other ones, they might try to kill the unconscious one.
9. Wait.
Congrats on taming a raptor! Hope this was helpful!
When you see it at low level bola that’s best way to survive it and then nail it with spears to kill
Plz don’t kill. TaMe It. They will have ur back.
Be carefull new ark players these raptors will cling on you and kill you. It is most recommended to use a bola to knock out and tame this creature with raw mutton and primemeat
In mobile, if you are struggling to find a high level, use the 'hunt raptor' pursuit to help locate where raptors are.
To knock out or kill a raptor, let it see you. Then start running in circles around the raptor and keep hitting it. It worked for me so it can work for you!
To tame this boi is actually very easy if your prepared
Recommended items: tranq arrows,bow,bola,club,meat,prime meat, narcotics,spike walls ( to defend him )
Step 1: make bolas
Step 2: look for a raptor( that is separated from a pack)
Step 3: get his attention and use the bola on him
Step 4: now knock him out with a slingshot,tranq arrows or club
Step 5: defend him with spike walls
Step 6: feed him narcotics and meat ( prime meat recommended)
Step 7: now you have an early game murdering machine
Encountering and taming
When you encounter a raptor unprepared you should immediately leave the area. Come back when you have these five things, multiple bolas (incase you miss or there is a pack), a ranged weapon that has some form of tranq ammo (slingshot, bow, crossbow, or a long neck rifle), tranq ammo, narcotics, and taming food. Once you have all of these things go back to the area where you found the raptor, once you find the raptor again, bola it. Once it bolad shoot it in the head with your tranq ammo, once it is knocked out wait, this is called starving, make sure it doesn't wake up by feeding it narcotics. Once you are done starving it put food in it's inventory, it will now eat until it is tamed. Also make sure nothing damages it this will ruin it's taming effectiveness meaning that it will lose some of the levels gained.
Good job, you have tamed your raptor. If you haven't brought a saddle for it, it can be learned at level 18, and can we crafted anywhere. Their primary attack is a slash and bite simultaneously, and their secondary attack is their pounce attack which works the same as it does with wild rapters.
I hope this was helpful, happy taming
Good early game tame, a few bolas and a bow and some tranq arrows or even a slingshot and some rocks is enough. Just bola and knock it out, and get a few. They can kill many things you encounter early game and are helpful for collecting hide and meat. Also really fun to get 20+ Of and attack things with.
Thats a annoying creature but there are a easy way to tame it! Even with sling shot
1-get 10 bolas wih you also if you are using tranq arrows then get 3 5bolas
2-bola it and start hitting him
3-make sure if 8 second passed then use another bola.
4-once get knocked down get some narcotics and make it unconscious till the hunger bar of it goes half
Taming foods of a raptor is - rawmeat prime etc and parsaur kibble and bam you have a new raptor:)
