Encountering Tips

How do I kill a ravager? ravager battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Works same as wolfs, gets a pack bonus. Be careful, they pack a punch. I recommend some points in movement speed and a few bola’s at hand at all times when without a decent tame.
They look like hyenadons and they get a pack bonus.
They run in packs of 3 other more. They aren't strong sole but the pack bonus causes bleed damage.
Currently I’m trapped in the green zone cave I’m held captive by a level 116 and killed others my only tips are to have plant species z to stun it also works on car is so it’s the best they have packs so multiple bolas are needed to stun all the ravagers but with a pike confidence and a few levels you should be able to take on 1-2 level 10 ravagers but still don’t go into the cave without 100 arrows or bullets
They can actually be carried by wyverns even though Dododex says it can only be carried by crystal wyverns hopefully helpful- Scarlett
They’re like aberration terror birds, that’s the only map terror birds don’t spawn on. Like terror birds they get bola’d but like most natives to aberration they are more deadly which I didn’t think was possible.
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)
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
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.
Bolas just bolas only thing ya need
Can damage thatch have yet to test other structures.
A pack of these are seriously bad news. NEVER encounter with raptors! 3 lvl 16 Ravagers whiped out my group of 3 raptors (146, 50, 50) and a lvl 16 Ravager!
I created a new survivor and ran straight into 5 ravagers.Well,guess how long it took until i was dead... 2 sekonds!
Probably the deadliest Creatures early on in Abberation!
They cannot attack in water so its your best bet if you need to get away and ran out of bolas...
Honestly, if you are on a highish mount (95+) and they all are lowish level (40-) your best best is to fight back than run, unless you are faster and can get away before they bleed you. But if they bleed you, running away isn’t going to happen at that point.
They don't always travel in packs
They are exactly like Allosaurus because 1. They have 2 attacks and a roar which whenever you roar around they all roar 2. They have packs
You cant run from it.Dont even bother fighting a pack of those.Lvl12 Ravager killed my lvl91 raptor like it was nothing lol i want to kms
