Encountering Tips
How do I kill a ravager? ravager battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
I was breading bulldogs and was only level 25 in a thatch hut. I was out side imprinting a mutated baby bull dog didn’t see them didn’t hear them 3 ravagers attacked me killed my baby bull dog broke my foundation destroying everything…not fun
Ravager are easy to kill with bolas keep 3-4 on you at all times
Their bleed also slows you down
It can be found on aberration principally, and it's a strong creature that hunt with his pack
If you have tamed a ravager I wouldn’t try to attack other packs of ravagers until your ravager is leveled because the wild ravagers have a bleed and if you only have 1 ravager (unless it’s pretty strong) I wouldn’t suggest attacking another pack of ravagers or even just 1 because they can bleed and if a pack of 4 ravagers mate boosted and pack boosted........give up, game over you and your ravager are dead (unless your ravager is a hulk dog on steroids you’re probably not gonna live)
They can as wild climb your ziplines don't have one leading inside your passive dino area
Even though you won't ever last long, run towards them. Why? If there is only one it will jump towards you. So run underneath it and bola it
If you encounter a pack try and lead them towards something they will fight. I have escaped a lot by using this method.
On Valguero these spawn in what I call H E L L
Typically spawn in packs of three. Medium agro distance. Once you attack one, all will attack you. Beware bleed damage, it will throw a wrench into your plans while fighting larger dinosaurs or taming.
Strategy: climb onto a ledge or rock face and shoot to kill or tame. Another way is to use a regular bola to immobilize to tame. If you see one, be on alert for the other two.
Good luck!
Basically an upgraded Hyenaedon, but much, much worse. It inflicts the status effect Gash, which slows you while dealing damage over time. Keep your distance and run if you can when starting out. If you can't run, bola and fight one at a time to minimize damage.
Ravagers also have a jump ability that can completely get behind you in an instant, so watch out.
Best early tame for abberation. Takes less fall damage(my fav), can climb on ziplines, and half carry weight on half of materials. Easy to tranq with longrifle, no difference in darts between primitive and acendent(about 5) for LvL 120, do NOT recommend tranq arrows 15+. Get one asap if you dont have a bird or rock drake, will make your life 5x easier.
Just like a dire wolf or raptor pack. Stay at a high elevation and shoot down with tranqs
Wyverns can grab them.Tested on a mod map
These buggers are the most dangerous thin you can ever encounter in normal areas and yes the spawn just about everywhere the will slow u or your tame down so you can not I repet can not escape so if there is a pack do not Bing a medium mount anywhere nearby them if on foot it is easy to escape you can usaly run away to water, off cliff (parachute or wing suit), or runing past a small or medium wild animal (distraction) and a second choice is to kill by youself too by using Vilas on both ravagers but if more I would not recommend
Watch out for gnash damage. Lvl 12 and 4 killed my iguanadon and trike in under 3 seconds. RIP.
Want to escape these things, then boost your movement speed say 10-15 times and your pretty much untouchable.
Let's say if you but 200 metal in the ravager inventory it will be 100 weight not 200 weight it works with meat to.
Shields are effective against these guys as shields don't take bleed damage. This can give time for your dinos to show up and kill it.
Note sometimes when I am doing this a ravager 180s over me,this jump over always results in an attack from behind so you should be able to turn around before it resumes it's onslaught, I find a wooden shield lasts 10s against a level 10.
Their fast so have at least 120% movement to outrun. Or just bola them as they always travel in packs and just kill them, easy XP.
