Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a raptor? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a raptor.
Find a raptor throw bola KO quick and feed meat
(make sure It's Not to high of a level for low level people)
And then get a female so you never have to do this again (I died many times trying to tame one)
I bred two of my raptors, ( blue and green, high levels) and Got a black raptor! I bred my black raptor and a random raptor ( I killed the random raptor afterwards) and got another black raptor!
Bola it and shoot it in the face with tranqs 2-5 times.
This is a way that takes like 2 Minutes.
Step 1: craft a few bolas
Step 2: get about 10 meat for one raptor 20 for 2
Step 3: find a raptor and bola it
Step 4: put meat in it’s inventory
Step 5: craft a saddle
Step 6: now you have a raptor that you can ride
Bola it and shoot with two to three tranq arrows then place about 20 meat in the raptors inventory you'll probably have some left over
If you are ever taming a raptor you will need about 3-5 tranq arrows and some meat I would remmomend a minor soothing balm if you are impatient like me try to get closer to the head with shots because a headshot can tranq them in one shot if your using a cross bow equip a grappling hook to lower the damage to 35 so it won’t kill the raptor brain up to 5-7 narcotics if the raptor your taming doesn’t sleep long it will take about 4-5 mins to tame without minor soothing balm and 2 mins with soothing balm bring extra tranqs just in case you find a high lvl raptor and bring a saddle
If you want a good trusty stead, a raptors the one for you!
1. Wait for it to run at you and throw a bola
2. Shoot it with Tranq arrows (I recommend using the crossbow or the longneck rifle, but the bow can work to)
3. Chuck some meat in and Boom! Got your self a raptor my dudes.
I would recommend being at least lvl 15 befor tamping one
Just tamed one with a bola and club; I'm lvl 14
Woah got triplets first try in single player now I got a raptor pack, of course the highest lvl one is named alpha
When trying to tame a raptor, ( which is very worth it in early game) try and hit it with as many narco arrows as you can. When it charges, do t run; just have a club ready. Shoot it as many times as you can with arrows and once it reaches you, just whack the crap out of it with your club. And be sure to have meat ready to tame with.
I have a tip for taming a raptor. Instead of using raw meat or prime meat, I suggest making parasaur kibble, since it can help tame a raptor fast. Para Kibble is contained of:
Parasaur Egg (can be collected from a tamed female or wild female)
Rockcarrot (can be found under jungle ferns)
Cooked meat or meat jerky (I prefer cooked meat if you wanna save time)
Mejoberry
Fiber
Waterskin
Cook in a cooking pot!
I saw a raptor and used bola and hit it with a bat and fed it meat it’s name is echo
All you need is 5-10 tranquilizer arrows a bola like 10 meat. Then just bola it shoot in the head with tranquilizer arrows until it knocks out the give it meat. Enjoy your new pet!
I am playing on Ragnark and I tamed a 145 rapter vary good tames I live in the redwoods and he can demolish all the dinosaurs. It only took 25 naco arrows give or take
on mobile you can use the hunt: raptor pursuit to track any raptors on the map to find and tame them easier.
Beginner tip: if u see a raptor with an orange aura means that hes about to get knocked down so go and punch him and boom last thing you know you got a brand new raptor
Incredibly helpful at start of game. Good mount. Dude is my rapper he was glitched out of existence at level 50. One👍=one vote of respect for Dude
If you tame one of these in the south of The Island than get out of there fast because: I just tamed a raptor with Tintoberry (my carbenemys) then I was ready to get back but I was first checking for danger but I didn’t see any. But then out of sudden NOWHERE an ALLO PACK jumped out at us and ripped Tintoberry apart. Then my raptor I just tamed started fighting to and got ripped apart. And that’s how I lost Tintoberry and Lime :,(
K, I know that when I look through Dododex I’m looking for easy to understand tips, so. I highly recommend taming these once you have acces to bolas because they are AMAZING protectors. Bola it’s legs, knock it out with a club and put at least 20 pieces of meat in its inventory. Just be sure to watch out for more than one.
