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.
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
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
If you want a raptor take these steps .be level 21 . Get tranq arrow . Get in water . Shoot the raptor with tranq arrow . tame it with you meat🤨💀
If you tame a good 3 or 4 raptors,you can not only take down bigger and better dino's, but get meat,recourses, and a lot of hide by killing other dino's.
Bola the raptor, go behind it and club till unconscious, and then feed it raw meat and if the unconsciousness is going down fast, just give it narcotics, pretty easy to make at low level, i recommend to feed it 3 narcotics or 2,, I tamed a level 2 Raptor in less than 10 minutes with that method, just for it to die to a spinosaurus, so definitely come with a saddle :) , please like
Best 2nd tame, get yourself a trike and then a raptor and you have your berry gatherer for herbivore tames/narco berries and the raptor for meat gathering for carnivorous tames. Sorted.
Use a bola and tranq arrows on a crossbow
Use a horse. Easiest knockout ever.
If you hit a level 95 raptor, with a bola. It is very easy to knock out with Tranq arrows and fist. VERY EASY. The only hard part of taming a raptor is the part of just sitting and putting meat and giving it narcos or narcoberries.
When I was playing primal fear I saw a raptor and started to run. Suddenly I remembered a human against a raptor is a win for humans so I turned around and fought it! Then this message appeared: you were killed by an alpha raptor level 204. Oops...
It's very easy to kill raptors, if one or two attack you it's easy to deal with, just use the balls, trap them and kill them with the spear, if you want to tame them, use the balls and hit them with a club or shoot a tranquilizer arrow and add meat raw in their inventory, if there is more you run to the nearest forest, they are fast but very easy to lose through the forest.
If you have a FCKNG problem and there is an alpha raptor close to where you live, then you stay tuned lol
1. As far as I know, you can't tame it, so don't even think about it, apart from the fact that they are psychopaths, they kill all the dinos that appear in front of them, so if there is a parasaur near your base and the alpha goes to attack it, the parasaur can attract it to you. near to you
2. It has at least 14k life, that is, you alone at a relatively low level can't even touch it
3. I recommend you keep all your items in a chest and keep luring it away from your base like a kamikaze defense, attract it, die, be reborn, lure it further away and die again. Just to get him away from me. (Balls don't work on this demon)
4. If you have a bow and tranquilizer, tame about 2 brontosaurus and put a target on the raptor, I killed an alpha like that.
5. If you manage to kill him, he will have some useful items in his inventory, and if you have a good pickaxe or even a stone one, it will work, collect his meat, 90% of the meat he gives is premium or idk the name, they spoil quickly so once you collect them, use them for whatever you want.
When I killed an alpha (my brontos) I collected his meat and saved the progress using the “manage saved data” button at the beginning, then I went looking for where the Compso was, by the time I managed to find the meat it had already gone bad, so I restored the data which I saved to go back to where I had meat, and I went to the exact place where I had comps, I tamed about three (just one or two meats are enough to tame them), and I managed to tame a dimorphodon too, these two dinos can be placed on the shoulders.
I'm Thanatos Arking, I'm level 25 on Ark Mobile, I'm Brazilian and I thank you for reading this far, I hope I helped u.
They can escape a trap made of doors on Ascended. I didn’t see how (I’m guessing they fit through the door space now) but I dropped one in a taming box made of doors 3 high and was parking my Argy when I heard all this commotion and he was going nuts on my tames I had set to Passive.
Step1:get taming food,I recommend getting prime meat and narcotics(take a few more)
Step2:get taming weapons,get some bolas(if there are more),bow and tranq arrows ,don't use clubs! I learnt it the hard way
Step3:Taming,find a raptor (one that is alone if not craft a few more bolas!),bola them/it us bow and tranq arrows and knock it out(don't get too close) transfer your prime meat and narcotics kill the other one (if there is or you don't need it,I recommend getting the other one as well)
BOOM! you have your own raptor! have fun ! :D
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
Here's an easy way to tame a raptor
1 bring bolas. You will need atleast 5 or to be more safe 10. Then just bola it before that go on the back of a pteranadon or moth and look for the one you want to tame then kill the other ones bola the high level one.
2 narcotics and tranq arrows. Raptors don't need much narcs or tranqs to tame but bring extra if there's another one you want to tame.
3 FOOD. I would bring simple kibble or just raw meat they'll both work just fine. Put the FOOD in its inventory and the last step-
4 wait. You won't have to wait a long time but bring narcs and a early yet strong tame like a moschops, trike, and if it's high level a Para protect it and when it wakes up BAM you have a raptor! Up if this guide helps down if it did not! :)
