Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a raptor? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a raptor.
If you bola it make sure to stand near the back if you hit it at the front it will hit you
If your levels are too low to craft pteranodon saddle i recommend you riding a raptor
They are the best starter tames if u live in danger areas I had a pair of them I breed them and now I have 6 I killed 2 high level allosourus and 3 therizino and 3 spino with them they are op of u breed right ones
Hey if your a mobile user and you want to breed anything and need to turn on wandering to get rapter tres or how ever many put a bunch of rocks in their inventory to encumber them so the cant run away feom froced baby making
If u are a low level just bola a single raptor. After they are trapped quickly knock them out. Raptors eat meat. They are fast and decently strong. RIP Clyde.
The raptor is an easy tame taking bout 2 traq arrows to knock. I fed it normal meat and it tamed very very fast.
Super easy tame! So all you have to do is get some bolas, and find a raptor. Oh and also have a couple tranq arrows to knock out. Try and stay away from packs and try to find a single one. Wait till it runs at you and bola it from a fair distance. Then shoot it with tranq arrows. It won't take many. Then feed it meat or kibble. When tamed equip your saddle! Hope this helped : )
Very useful tame early on and quite easy to tame as well just bola the legs then club away raw meat and like less than 5 min u have a raptor then upgrade weight to around 250+ then u have a fast ride that can jump and hold people and animals down ultimately a very useful tame
Before I hit ten days in ark I already had several of them and a sarco we are unstoppable
To tame one you simply need
2 bolas in case you miss the first
A slingshot (25 rocks) at most
And 7 meat more or less
Make sure that you throw the bola before the raptor jumps on you and get a male and female and breed about 3 times and that should be enough early on protection
To tame a sarco check out my other post on its tab

For those of you who have been trying to build a pack, one raptor at a time. Build a 4x4 wooden box. Put one doorway, and make sure there is an extra wall above the door. Put ramps on the opposite side of the door. Find a pack nearby, agro them, and lead them over the ramps and into the box. Exit the door quickly. From then on it's literally like shooting fish in a barrel.
You will need a lot of tranqs, depending on how many are in the pack, and a lot of meat. Don't worry if some of them are low level. The raptor strategy is strength in numbers.
Get enough raptors and you will be unstoppable.
Easy tame for beginners Step
1. Craft about 6 bolas because they are mostly the in packs
2.use bola on raptor(s)
3. Tranq till knock out and feed meat
4.harvest extra Narcoberries
5. Take it from there👍👍
Fairly easy tame. Try to bola it. Just don’t get pounced on or your dead. Knock it out with club, and feed it. Boom. That’s how I got my 2 raptors star and moon.
These creatures have insane speed and are able to out run a new player. The ones I’m near spawn near beach’s because there’s lots of things to kill there. Anyways back to the tip. Raptors CAN live in packs but some are alone, try to find a alone raptor. You don’t need much to tame one, go ahead and get a few narcotics and raw meat. Stand on a rock and wait for it to come to your fire range. Shoot the animal, once it’s down feed it raw meat and wait. Congrats you tamed a raptor! You can up it’s speed so it’s a speed demon, or something else. Raptors have a alt attack that it can jump on small prey and rip it apart. Saddles are worth it, don’t carry to many items though. Happy traveling!
Use kibble, since it's only parasaur kibble, it's easy to get and well worth it so knock out a high level and just use kibble.
can fit through doorframes, unless they have a door aswell then they can fit through, need a door on the doorframe so they cant get through

No duh, it literally says on the home screen of ARK 😑
How to tame a raptor:
Get 5 bolas and a slingshot (if u haven't reached lvl 21 yet) with 50 rocks or more. do NOT use the baseball bats cuz they are close range and the raptor can easily pounce on you. after you knock it out you need to shove the meat into it's throat. Defend it while it's taming and here you go you now have a bodyguard.
(Saddle lvl: 18 lvl)
Make sure to scope it out BEFORE attempting to kill or tame. If you enter an area that you saw it previously and no longer see it it may have hid to pounce on you. They can and will sneak behind you and surprise attack you. Make sure you see it from outside of its detection range, prepare a bola, get close enough to bola it, and then pelt it with a couple tranq arrows. DO NOT turn your Dino’s on peaceful until AFTER you’ve bolaed it. If it sneaks up on you or another one sneaks up on you the only way your getting out of a pounce attack is with Dino support. These are great hunters and defenders but that means that when taming there must be extra caution and your eyes but always be on them in the taming process. It’s an easy bola and two tranqs but they are crafty and will ese you alive if you do it wrong.
If you are wondering how to tame a raptor you only need to have 1-3 bolas and a club or tranqs. Bola them and starting knocking it out then feed it meat.
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
