how to KO and tame a raptor

[dutchmarshal]

I only play solo ARK, and would like to get some tips on how to KO/tame a raptor.
If i go solo, i get killed! If i go with me dinos they kill the raptor..

I have a trike/4 dilos and 1 carno (http://ark.gamepedia.com/Carnotaurus)

als i have 30 tranq arrows and 50/100 pots of narc

If you took down a carno a raptor should be no problem? What level are you ? you can usually just stand there and tank the raptor till its down

I had a carno when i was lvl 5 or something. It was stuck on a tree and i just punched it from on top of a rock. :)

For raptors... well... just shoot tranq arrows until it goes down. Try a lower level one if it kills you too fast.

Standing on a rock may sometimes work. But sometimes it won't as it will just glitch on top of it.

Start out by taming a scorpion, and then use it to knockout/tame other animals.

a trick i used to tame my raptor was to find one that was already attacking something, you can get a couple good tranq shots in before it switches agro and if it's low enough lvl it might even go down, if not you'd already have the advantage and should still be able to knock it out without dying.

[Okim]

Raptors take 2-6 arrows to knock out at 1-30 levels accordingly. If you have troubles with it - take your carno and set it to passive as a bait for raptor. While it attacks the carno just shoot it/punch it until it is out.

Make sure that your carno has enough HP to survive this :)

its easy,build a wooden taming pit with a wooden dino gate and door on the other side. So just let him chase you into the pit close small door and run around closing the big door. From there you should have installed windows and boom bobs your uncle then. Tranq throguh windows and it saves you from other dinos attacking your time.


We tamed at lvl 86 rex this way without any of us dying.

I made exactly the same out of stone so it won't get destroyed and i can easily tame everything.

If you want it even easier: Tame a herbivore of your choice (I prefer a turtle or mammoth) and level it only on Health. Set it on passive and search for a raptor you would like.

Now just jump off and hit him every 5-10seconds with a tranq arrow.

Why? A carnivore ALWAYS priorize a herbivore over you ! So even if you hit him nonstop, it won't change the aggro.

This is brilliant. Doesn't seem necessary for low level raptor though. just tang and run over and over. If you have armour and at least 200 + health, raptor will go down no problem. Don't forget his buddies will be close by though, they're not usually alone :)

Put Trike on passive, stand on top of trike, shoot raptor, put trike back on neutral, tame raptor. Obviously make sure your trike has plenty of health.

Would work with a carno too, but I don't think you can actually stand on them?

I have had a T-Rex turn its attention to me while he was biting at the Bronto's heels. Sooooo, I disagree with you on that. I'm sure others have had the same issue.

I don't know what you do then but I tame literally all my carnovores like that. With only the exception that I don't use tranqs but a scorpion.

This might happen when you get way too close to him.

Wait... how did you get the rex inside? It doesn't fit through a dino gate right?

It does.

put your health up to 300, no raptor will be a problem then.

In any case a nearby high rock or cliff are ALWAYS of help for a really easy dino knockout.
