Encountering Tips

How do I kill a ravager? ravager battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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.
I’ve encountered these things a few times and all I can say is if you can avoid him do, But if you have to I recommend a strong tame that can take a lot of hits and can dish out a fair amount of damage
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
Watch out for gnash damage. Lvl 12 and 4 killed my iguanadon and trike in under 3 seconds. RIP.
They can as wild climb your ziplines don't have one leading inside your passive dino area
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!
At low level stay clear of them as they will kill you and your tamed creature in second due to their number,DoT attack and pack bonus.
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.
They travel in packs, slow you, there is alphas, so have fun and watch out
It can be found on aberration principally, and it's a strong creature that hunt with his pack
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
Their bleed also slows you down
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
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.
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.
Watch out for their gnash. It's nota devastating as the giga's is but it is a mild slow that renews every time they bite you and makes it so you can't get away until you kill them. Hopefully a later patch lets you inflict gnash after tame but as of right now only wild can do it.
They can follow you across zip lines
