What level needed to tame raptor?

[hyperion]

I'm only level 11 now. I have 2 tamed turtles. Those obviously are not going to help me much if I get into real trouble wondering. There is a lone raptor across a bay from me. He's about the only real threat I see around. At my level, is there any way I have a chance to knock him out and tame him?

Depends more on the raptor's level, not yours.

So long as you have some bolas, raptors are easy tames.
If it's level 30, you need 30 raw meat, 12 narco berries (or 3 narcotic), and they'll take you either 21 slingshot hits, or 6 tranq arrows.

However the tricky thing with predators is that you can't exactly check their level until you've already started the taming process.

You can tame any dino at any level, although higher levels unlock tools that make it much easier to knock them out. And you need a certain level for each saddle required to ride that specific dino. You can still knock it out, tame it, have it attack or carry things but it wont be ridable until you unlock the raptor saddle engram or find a blueprint in one of the supply drops scattered around the map.

Thanks, appreciate the info. I have only a slingshot, not bolas, but I have ability to craft those. And have lots of resources. I'm on a island, or really long peninsula actually, on a hilltop with a lot of resources. Thanks for the link also, will check it out.

Thanks! I have the plans to craft one. What I was afraid of was getting to close to him!

Crystal is kinds tough to get to at level 11. Not impossible but highly improbable.

I'm gonna give it a go after I craft the spyglass and check his level, if it's not too high. At best I die and spawn back in my bed and will know where my body is at. Can raptors swim well?

They are terrible swimmers, if you get into trouble just go for a swim, he will only follow so far before he turns back. You can also swim under him and kill him easily.

Depending on where you are swimming, I'd almost rather fight the raptor on land than deal with mantas and other threats in the water.

At level 15, prioritize making a raft and you can use that to make a getaway on the water if needed. When you are looking to kill rather than tame, this also becomes a great early way to take on raptors, carnos, and even alphas if you are quick enough.

Heh, you're right. I had the points to get the plans, but don't have any crystal. Guess I'll have to wing it for now.

Interestingly, there's not much in that water at the head of the bay there. So I think I'll be ok.
