Get on top of a house then shoot it with a tranquilizer arrow
They just take your house and live in it... they did it with me haha. But use bola than slingshot or narc arrows. They are really fast, bit have less weight. Upgrade the weight speed and health, i upgraded attack damage and dont.
Keep them from other animals. Mine keeps attacking my pets and murdered a new born baby castoroide i saw it attacking it through the window of my animal carrier and found tge dead body. At the moment hes been targeting castoriodes so keep them apart
yo can get up a steep hill then shoot trank arrows at it
If you are new (around 25 in lvl) and really need a boost to your rank find an alpha raptor get him in water while a friend kills him with a bow. It may take a few minutes but the levels are worth it!
When taming a raptor make sure you have plenty of narcotics prior to KO. It will save you a lot of running around trying to collect narcoberries. Kill off as many predators surrounding the area for meat and to lessen the chance they will attack your unconscious raptor and lower your effectiveness rate. If you find yourself with no narcotics or narcoberries you can punch or hit it with a club to increase torpor, but it's health and effectiveness will decrease. (Only use hitting technique in case of emergency)! Finally if you happen to KO the raptor in a place that you're not to familiar with lay down a standing torch near it. It'll help guide you to the unconscious body and provide warmth.
Make ~10 narco arrows and 3 bolas and look for a raptor, go near it, when it runs after you bola it and start hitting it with tranqs in the head until it's out
Try ramming the raptor into a wooden cage. Close the cage k.o it and then tame it with raw mutton. Bring about 60 raw mutton because it spoils.
The new TLC Raptors travel in packs and have a pounce ability now. This makes them harder to tame. I suggest having a parasaur and scaring most of them away and tame the one you want with a bola and tranqs/stones.
Taming a raptor easy when your a high level player all you need is good aiming skills while using your bola at the EXACT time, trust me I've missed and got my face mauled by one
PS: NEVER tame alpha raptors of any sort and if you do its your funeral
The new TLC raptors have a pounce ability. If you are looking to tame a raptor, be sure to always have a trike or something following you to save your ass if you get pounced. To avoid getting pounced, always have several bolas in your pocket. If you don’t follow my tips and you get pounced, curl up in a ball, and kiss your ass goodnight - Lil G.T
Get High level thorny dragon and tail slap it in the face
New to ark. Found a lv 4 alpha female raptor. Threw bola then wasted 9 tranc arrows. Why didn't it get knocked out? Had to kill it to fend of constant threats. My lv 29 character barely escaped and lost 4 tames. Why didn't tranc work? 1st alpha I found too. 2 of those dam troodon bastards where next to her like guards. I thought she would be easy to get... More wild raptor showed up shortly after killing lv 12 troodon. Do alphas have any triggers for help or defense?
Super easy tame! Just throw a bola (usually need about 3) and beat with a wooden bat, super helpful for fighting any dino
Find one alone or kill the others then shoot with tranq arrows or tranq darts because they have low torpidity.
Make it to where we can tame the Alphas!!! I have encountered 4 Alpha raptors on Cragg's Island. You do get awesome stuff for killing them but it would be more awesome to tame them..
They are Clever.
Find a high level Male & Female Raptor, preferably over level 100 (this is only recommended for higher levels) then once you have tamed them (try and tame them as perfect as possible) start breeding them as much as you possibly can, even if that means getting another high level female, then make sure your base is enclosed with walls etc then let them roam free around the base, if you have loads of raptors they will defend your base really well because of how fast they are and how strong making them a reliable defence Dino.
Raptor ar strange in pack
