I have tamed loads of these guys. Fairly easy especially with prime meat. Heres how to tame them:

Youll need: slingshot with 40 stone, five bolas, and 25 raw meat.

First, bola the raptor

Second, pelt the raptor with rock.

Third, feed it raw meat and keep track of its torpor.

Fourth, You have your raptor! Congrats!

This is how I tamed my raptor and it worked really well. You need tons of arrows because they’re hard to hit. I jumped into a high rock, had like 20 tranq arrows, parasaur kibble, and then after a minute it saw me and ran at me, then circled the rock. I eventually managed to hit it enough times that it conked out and I tamed it with 1 parasaur kibble. Boom! You have a raptor. They’re super fast on land but kind of slow in the water.

Taming a 135 lvl Raptor rn and according to Dododex, i only needed 3 Parasaur kibble when I actually needed 5…lets just say im a little sad about losing some levels on her but i know to bring a little extra next time (and hopefully this tells you to bring a little extra for your next tames too!!)

For pro or high level taming:

Some of the steps only work on mobile.

What you need:

——————————

Crossbow/Longneck Rifle

3 Tranq Arrows (Bring more just in case.)/3 Tranq Darts (Sorry if I spelled it wrong.)

1 or 2 Bolas/Large Bear Trap

——————————

Food: (Most effective to least effective.) Disclaimer: This is not all foods that you can use.

——————————

Parasaur Kibble

Raw Prime Meat

Raw Prime Fish Meat

Raw Meat

Raw Fish Meat

——————————

Directions: Find a raptor by foot or a mount. (Pterosaurs such as Pteranodon are most effective at finding them.) Travel southeast or northwest. Once you have located your raptor, if it is feeding or attacking something, wait until it’s done. When it’s done, wind up your bola and approach it slowly. If you are using the Large Bear Trap, place it. When the raptor chases you, throw the bola. If you have a bear trap set, lure the raptor by crossbow or walk up to it. When the raptor is immobilized, shoot it 2 or 3 times with Tranq Arrows. If it is high level, shoot it with four Tranq Arrows. When unconscious, feed it with something. Your choice. Once you are done taming, create a Raptor Saddle. When mounted, this destroyer will kill anything weaker than it. It can also perform a pounce attack to anything smaller or equal size to it. Last step: Change settings by clicking the fossil if needed, then name it.

Tips: When mounted, this is one of the only dinosaurs which can jump. Starve feeding or regularly feeding, either way is the same. Be careful if they are in a pack; packs can easily kill you! I would suppose that you upgrade it’s health, damage, speed, and sometimes weight.

How to befriend a raptor

1. Watch it get pretty low on health

2. When low around 100 hp punch it or sling shot it

3. When unconscious feed Raw meat, Prime meat, etc.

4. No Narcotics needed

5. When tamed destroy everything

6. KILL EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING DO NOT SHOW MERCY IT WILL ONLY MAKE YOU WEAK KILL KILL EVERYONE

So for the newbies that don’t have enough Engrams :

1: Find a raptor

2: Equip your Bola

3: let it charge you when it’s close release the Bola

4: go at his side or his back ( Don’t go in front of it )

5: keep ponding him till he’s unconscious

6: Feed it meat

Then wait for it to tame .

How to tame a raptor:

Must have: 2-3 Bolas, 3-5 tranq arrows, [OPTIONAL] Raptor Saddle, meat [Prime or normal.] or Para kibble.

1. Get the high ground and bola the raptor, first try will most definitely be a miss.

2. start shooting it with tranq arrows. You can also use fists, but it'll most likely die.

3. You can wait for it to loose hunger, but they're quick tames so you can feed it instantly.

[OPTIONAL] 4. Saddle it and get it back to your base, let it heal and do anything you want with it after.
