Encountering Tips
How do I kill a ravager? ravager battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
If you are stuck in the starting areas because ravagers and raptors are literally everywhere, I suggest a handy mount called the iguanadon, they are very fast and can run for a long time since while running they don’t lose stamina, I do not recommend fighting a ravager on an iguanadon tho, they can kill a raptor but can’t handle being overwhelmed by packs
If you encounter one of these wolf like creatures then hit it with a bola then can either shoot it with a bow/crossbow/gun or run. You can also run into water because they cannot attack you and eventually they will run away. Stay safe survivors!
They can follow you up a zipline... even untamed ones.
They can break thatch, 2 of them broke my walls down and ate me alive.
WARNING: Can climb through windows!!
Thought they were hyenas. Will not make this mistake again. The blood. So much blood.
I hate them to say the least. I was walking about enjoying the hot desert biome and got ravenged a couple times
They do NOT break stone
Lure one away from the pack, throw bola. Kill it. Do the same until all are gone.
Be vigilant. First one I encountered jumped over me to attack from behind.. Very jumpy puppies!
Use a long ranged weapon to kill one use bolas
You don't need to be faster than the ravagers, just faster than the person next to you...
Dive deep in the water if you just started and theres a pack after you. Or get as moschaps upgrade its strength ride it when they pounce in a group start attack to kill them all at once.
Does NOT actually damage stone, my pen is proof.
Avoid at all costs if you're low level. They have a harsh bleeding effect. If you run into a pack, just know there is no hope of escape.
Wild ravagers can use natural and player created ziplines, they got into my base that way.
A cross between a direwolf and allosaurus. Bleed damage /w pack alpha boost. Also jumps fairly high. 3 wall high is enough to keep it out.
not gonna lie, without knowing what creatures were in this map, I just figured that it was a hyenadon and learnt my lesson. either way these ugly inbred dogs are strong snd great for caves, as well as being common, basically if you replaced the ravager with the raptor you wouldn’t tell the difference with their jump, speed, and total annoyance. Yet like the raptor, when it’s wild it’s the worst thing possible. While a tamed one will be your best friend forever and most likely be one of your fav tames, get this guy and you will never regret it
These things are so op in the wild bc they deal bleed damage. Also they live in packs and they have a decent amount of health. (Great tames by the way.) But I think tamed one should deal bleed as well.
Be careful this is a majestic creature that is mixed with a Dog/wolf/tiny bit of cat and it can rip your humans face off
I hate this thing when I’m trying to grab some wood or tame stuff
