Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a raptor? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a raptor.
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.
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.
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)

Easy way how to find a raptors and tame them.
Step 1. Get a pteranodon
Step 2. Fly in the air and look around groups of other dinos (do this because raptors spawn by small dinos) if that deosnt work here’s another way.
Part 2 Step 1. Get a pteranodon and fly to a river or spawn at a river.
Here’s how to tame one very easily.
Step 1. Find a raptor all alone fighting some weak and small
Step 2. Craft a Bola and throw it at the raptor
Step 3. Craft a bow/sling shot and craft some tranq arrows or get some rocks
Step 4. Shoot the raptor while it’s trapped in the bola
Step 5. Get some raw meat or some parasaur kibble and put the food up it’s butt and there’s your new pet.
Up👆 For noobs to see this and if this helped you.
Use your expendable friend as bait
If you are a beginner then I prefer you to run, unless you have a bola.
To tame 1. Bola it
2. Hit it with hands/bat NOT AT HEAD
3.Tame it with meat-beginner’s
Easiest thing I have tamed so far as a beginner, highly recommend making a pack of these for when you go hunting
If you are a beginner, on easy mode, this thing is COMPLETELY AWESOME. It takes about 50 cooked meat for a lvl 30 but taming is EXTREMELY FAST. Just bola its face! Then slingshot its face! Then feed its FACE. And BAAAAAM RAPTOR
To tame velociraptor
1. Craft at least two bola’s
2. Search the west for them (most common there)
3. Throw bola before he/she pounces
4. Hit a few times with club
5. Bola a couple seconds after last bola (to not escape)
6. Feed at least 8 raw meat (depends on level)(more info on how to feed in Dododex)
7. Wait patiently for tame ready
8. Keep it alive...
Disclaimer: this is all based on my experience
Step 1: make bolas, narcotics, saddle, etc.
Step 2: scout out raptors (don't bring any tames, and don't let them see you if you're unprepared)
Step 3: kill the rest if they are in a pack (keep the one you want obviously)
Step 4: bola that sh*t
Step 5: knock it out
Step 6: shove some meat up its anus
Step 7: keep it asleep unless you want it to eat you
Step 8: after it awakens, name it
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
Painful with out bola always have bola
2 tranq arrows to the face... your welcome
You can knock out a raptor by hitting it in the face with one or two tranq arrows you cannot take the alpha raptors but I had a pack of eleven raptors at level fifty and I killed the alpha raptor in seconds with no casualties and it gets you cool items and prime meat
To tame follow these steps
Step 1: Find a high level
Step 2: Bola it
Step 3: Use tranq arrows to knock out
Step 4: Repeat on opposite gender
Step 5: Breed for a berry good army and make sure your saddle is on the leader
If ur wondering how to tame these guys, don’t worry, I tamed one that had 1,000 health. If u want practice getting close to raptors, I recommend doing the raptor hunt pursuit before u attempt to tame a raptor. First, u need to be prepared. Get at least 3-4 bolas, a pike, tranq arrows and bow, and meat and narcotic. For a low lvl u probably won’t need narcotic but mine was lvl 95 so i hv no idea about low lvls. Next, u need to find raptors. They’re usually found in the forest in the far southeast of the Island. Then u just need to knock it out. Approach it slowly and wait for it to run towards u (u don’t wanna go towards it bc then it only has to run a short distance to come attack u). Give urself plenty of time and when it runs towards u, throw bola and knock it out quickly (bolas only last 30 seconds). Put meat in its inventory and use narcotic if unconscious bar goes too low. Keep ur eye out for other raptors (they usually hunt in packs) and use ur pike to defend urself and ur raptor. I recommend bringing a few fighting creatures in case u get jumped on. Once the taming bar reaches the end, u hv a raptor! Raptor saddle unlocks at lvl 18 but if ur still too scared (like me) i recommend waiting till u hv at least tranq arrows (unlock at lvl 21).
Raptors are very useful bc they are pretty fast and they attack well.
Talon (my raptor), is now lvl 130 and it has been a trusty backup when I go hunting. Plz up so other players see this.
How to tame raptors:
1.Craft bola.
2.Craft wooden bat/club.
3.Collect meat for the raptor.
4.Open quest: Hunt: Raptor, and get out your map and compass and find the raptor on the map, it’s location should be marked with a circle. Make sure you have the bola hotbarred.
5.When you see the raptor, get out your bola and throw it at the raptor immediately.
6.Get behind the raptor, as while trapped in the bola, it can still attack from the front.
7.Hit it on the tail until it falls unconscious, then feed it your recently claimed raw meat, and wait.
8.Should enough time pass, you shall have your raptor! Now train it with caution as while they are great damage dealers, they aren’t the tankiest in terms of health, so leveling that up is top priority. Thx for reading
For mobile players only…
There is lots of raptors in the southern isles.
Most of them are by the mountains obviously,
But if your looking for them go there.
MOBILE TIPS
Use a horse. Easiest knockout ever.
