These guys are stupid annoying late game, they’re just like rats.
—TIP TIME—
PASSIVE, AGGRESSIVE, OR NEUTRAL?
If you have ever set foot on the Island, you should know that these guys have zero chill. They will attack everything and anything in sight, no matter the size(you’ll often see one raptor challenge a rex). So STAY AWAY if you are a low level and don’t want to get cooked.
TAMING
These guys are relatively easy to tame, only needing a bola and some tranq arrows, or possibly a club if it’s a low enough level. Torpor is alright, I didn’t find myself shoving narcotics down its throat when I tamed it. Put some meat in their inventory(or some prime meat, but I wouldn’t waste any on a raptor) and viola! You got yourself a raptor!
USES
These guys are FAST. Like, very fast. But, with yin comes yang, their weight is horrible. I find myself constantly upgrading weight to get this fat dino to move at a speed more than 0.1 mph. They are strong, with fast attacks, AND they have a very OP attack that pins down smaller creatures and dismounts riders! When they are pinned, constant attacks will cause you to rip their insides out while they are on the floor! So fun :). To do this attack on mobile, swipe down on the left hand side of the screen. These guys are VERY good early game tames, with their saddle unlocking at only LEVEL 18 :o
Anyway, hope this tutorial helps!
Peace out,

These guys are pretty easy to tame if not high level. Just take a crossbow and a few tranq darts and shoot ast it but make sure they haven't noticed you. When it comes closer bola it and continue shooting until it's knocked out. Feed em Raw meat, they don't need much of it. They're useful too, but some things that aren't so well:
-they cant carry a lot of things
-they have low stamina
-they don't have much health
-they may be fast but are super slow in water, even high level raptors
Its kinda annoying that they are so slow In water, if you're lucky, 1 or 2 megapiranhas will attack you. If you're Unlucky, (Mantas sometimes) Cnidarias and megapiranhas can also come. Megalodons is pretty rare tho, depending on where you are.
Bye chat 🫡
Use a bola and use narc arrows, or use a slingshot if you have too.
Bola it then shoot it with 2 tranqs

Step 2 kill Dino’s for meat
Step 3 find the raptor you want to tame
Step 4 bola it
Step 5 knock it out
Step 6 put the meat in its inventory
Step 7 wait till it tames
I hope this helps :)
I’m doing pts next
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
(Mobile) You can find them relatively near water and I recommend using bola to trip em up then knock em out then u only need to give them like 12 meat but I would give more just in case Pls like if this helped
Try to stay in flat open land, this allows you to easily snare the raptor with a bola. Approach slowly until it runs straight at you then throw the bola at it. Once hit with the bola you can easily KO it using any method you choose.
Use parasuar kibble for faster and higher level tames if possible since you need less than 30 kibbles for a perfect 100+ level tame. It may also be easier at lower levels since gathering meat can sometimes be difficult and parasuars are easy tames.
Dinodude8’s tip for taming! ( a new series of taming info for all the creatures possible. If I get to 10 Uhpvutes (I did that on purpose!) on this I will do dilo😄.) STEP 1: get bolas, Narcotic arrows, and a lot of meat (preferably prime but anything will do) weapons and some sustainable armor (if possible do it with friends! For fun and effectiveness, just make sure you tell them that you are TAMING it…not killing it. I learned that the hard way) STEP 2: find a raptor. Look at ark wiki for locations if you need help. Bola it and either take out or if you have bolas to spare and enough meat tame the other packmates. STEP 3: Once it has been knocked out feed it meat. And then…you have a raptor! P.S if you want. Craft a saddle beforehand so you can ride it back to base.
When I was new in Ark and killed multiple times by Raptor, so I decided to tame one. I bring bola, narcotic, meat and started searching for it. I found him and try to bola but missed and he killed. Again I try bola, missed and killed for 5-6 times then I thought I cannot bola him. I climbed on rock and try to tranquize. He was very fast I missed some arrow and hits a lot of tranq arrow and killed multiple times in this process. Finally I killed him just by using tranq. After a lots of day I understand that Raptor was an Alpha and cannot be tamed 🥲
Quick and easy way to tame a raptor
Step 1: craft a bola or two
Step 2: throw the bola at the raptor (it might run at you, so do it quick)
Step 3: knock it out with tranq arrows (bring 10+ arrows)
Step 4: once the raptor is knocked out you can feed it raw meat, raw fish meat or raw prime meat (if the meat is cooked it’s even better) prime meat is the best meat you can feed it. Up this if it was useful.
How to tame (VERY EASY): craft a bow. Craft tranq arrows. Shoot the raptor three times. Shove food down its throat until it decides to be you friend :). (I did this on mobile and idk if it works the same way of pc)
Always have at least 5 or 6 bolas on you for these, and try to separate them from each other, and GET THE HIGH GROUND.
Dont. Be scared of this guy
U can just bola and tame it using some tranq arrows or slingshot
(When i first encountered it i was scared but do not be scared haha)
