Raptors are a huge pain in the ass, but I love them regardless. Even when they're trying to kill and eat me, I'm still trying to catch every one I come across. I once tamed a pack of three all at once.
I just wanted to thank you for the effort you put into your videos. When I come home from a long day of work, eating something and drinking a bier while watching you push the wrong button all the time is a great way to forget about a hard day. Keep it up, Master Phlinger!
Im so glad I found this video, even one year later. I kept hearing you say you hate Raptors and that they are stupid and I was wondering why I was finding them so useful at my early games. Thank you
I soooo want a raptor. Decently fast mount, and I've always thought they look extremely cool. But sadly I've never found one I can hope to bola. They see mme before I see them, every time, and they re always in groups. I'm either jumped and killed before I know what hit me, or I end up needing to kill them to save myself.
The best luck I've had with packs of raptors is by the rivers. Simply because they can't swim fast enough to keep up with you, and you can bola them as they come out of the water, or just before they come out of the water. They're like sitting ducks.
1. Build a raft. Raptors are not fast in the water, rafts are. 2. Find a raptor near a river (good point to find them is Cragg's island. Go to the obelisk/waterfall side, theres no raptors. They are on the island). 3. Get in the boat!!! (Rip Joergen) 4. Make sure there are no other agressive animals/neutrals that can kill your target. 5. A) Low level. Get into agro range or hit it with a slingshot from boat. B) Higher level. Dont go to agro range, use one tranq dart to engrage it. 6. Swim to the other side using a raft. Make sure raptor follows you. 7. Two techniques: A) Get the movement speed higher than 112. Once it gets to your river side, run and tranq. B) No need for movement speed, just a lotta confidence and a steady hand. Get to the shore, start swinging a bola, when the target comes near (make sure its on land) throw the bola. The rest is easy. 8. (Optional) while the raptor is unconscious, build a quick stone door cage. Need around 7-10 stone fence foundations and doorframes of the same material. You can also add reinforced wooden doors to the doorframes to ensure no compies, dilos, troodons and pegomastax get in. 9. Confidence. That is the key to it. You can make a spyglass to check on a raptor pack from distance. With enough confidence, you can tame pack of 4 at once (i succeeded).
@@sauronikov9254 .... What the hell kind of demon raptors are you breeding? My strongest can kill a gamma megapithecus by herself, but that's about it.
I recommend, if you're starting out and you want to tame raptors, go ahead and use the axe on the phiomia. The raptor isn't going to need a whole stack to tame, let alone many stacks. Plus you get a bunch of hide.
I both love and hate raptors. I have 20 of them on staff now. Been slowly but surely leveling each of them up to carrying 255 pounds, figuring that would work well enough for most applications.
Love the video helps me out bc where I don't have internet yet I never knew the update for the raptor or the other Dino's so thank you for picking the raptor to show everyone how it works
Forgot to show us how to tame them in the taming pen. lol Can you also get into a little more detail on how different food can give you a bonus when taming something and is there a mate boost when taming something? a little more detail on how all that works Thanks...Love this series.
Raptors are finicky in taming pens, they can fit through doors. Bolas and tranq arrows are the safest method for taming Raptors. The rest of that information is available on the wiki, which I highly recommend.
Hey Phlinger. Really enjoy your videos. They have really helped me get started as a complete newb. I did not think Raptors where so bad. I did not encounter one until after i got my Movement speed to 112. I even tamed a couple early game and they save my butt more than a few times. in fact they died doing just that. After today though I'm on the "Stupid Raptor" band wagon. I built my base in the same place yours is in Solo. Got a stone fence up with 3 behemoth gates. Tamed up some utility dino's ( Doedicurus, Castoroides, and a megaloceros) a couple of carnos, a Rex, a Trike, and various other smaller ones. and not to forget my Pride and Joy, My 4th tame in game, Theo the Therizinosaurus. I was ready to go find a Argent. Built a taming pen; like you showed me, got my pteranodon leveled up with weight, health and Stam, and even made a saddle for the Argent. Decided to take out the Rex with me just to get some more levels on him while collecting the Prime meat i would need. Found a 96 Argent ( best i could find in area) and tamed that bad boy. Headed back to base. Got to base, everything but my Doedicurus is dead, well and my stego, but everything that was out side a building is dead. There is a hole in one of my fence walls. The door to one of my Behemoth gates is gone, and there are 2, yes TWO Alpha Raptors doing the best to kill my Doedicurus, who is balled up and taking no damage, what saved the Stego's life. I landed on the roof and shot them with my longneck till they died a hopefully very painful slow death. Out of about 15 dinos, 2 survived. So yea, Stupid Raptors!!!! Thanks for the videos. Keep them coming. I'm a Fan.
I got a pack of raptors today for scorched earth,my first raptor pack.I love them the alpha is lvl 127,his mate is level 28,and they hatched an egg and he’s lvl 88
I got glitch in the game when I was riding raptor I just press secondary attack and teleport me in the middle of the map it's so frustrating I got killed by an alpha raptor
Lol today i got my first raptor at lvl 11 i got him with a bola and a sling shot but still this is very usefull and i think dilos with raptors are a pretty nice combo
Oooooh g, i never knew about that pack thingy! So glad I watched this now, because honestly, I always thought Raptors are pretty useless xD They die quick, they can carry nothing and they have low stamina. But like this, as a low level tame, woah the fun one could have! :D :D I want to start over with a new survivor on a new map now just to try this xD
I had come across a 145 raptor in the island mainland, and after taming it it had increased to just below 200 and I leveled it up a few times and it had about 6500 health with a 500 increase each level basically
I was once in the forest and saw a group of 3 raptors. well 1 strayed off. I got it trapped in a bear trap, i was gonna tranq it, but then another one came by and started clawing the other one. Next thing I knew, he was free from the trap. And they both ran at me.
Tip: get a bola and a bow and some tranq arrows get prime or regular meat find a highs level raptor bola it’s tranq it then put the food n t and boom then make a raptor saddle it’s really easy oh and they can pound on animals if your in consoul press L2 on a animal on the raptor
I had a nice pack of raptors on the center but my server happened to be pvp and one shithead felt like transferring owl and managrim and permaraiding everyone. God please make it so that every map-exclusive creature is locked from transferring from its map
Also the ones who vets get cocky with thinking "alpha raptor, pffft I got this" before spending next 10 minutes trying to get their loot back from long dead isolated body lol
I want to tell a story how I accidently found and tamed a raptor. So I was going to tame an iguanadon but I found a raptor attacking a trike so I got the raptors attention bolod it and tamed it
I'm new to ark and have 1 Tek raptor would have two more but my friends are stupid and send my level 10 raptors at level 26 triceratops but this has convinced me to make a trap and create my pack and a raptor pen
"Have bolas on hand if you intend on going and fighting a trike" When your mouth inserts the name of the thing you are looking at into the sentence without your permission.
I have 4 raptors but when I press C , only two of them roar , the other 2 don't get the pack bonus . Is there something else that must be known about Raptor packs , am I missing something important. If so please help me . I want to take my pack for a hunt.
Yeah, kibble has changed so the recipes are way easier and streamlined (bigger the egg the more loved the kibble by species) but meat does find job instead - if you ain't got kibble carnivores like Mutton, prime meat and raw meat whilst herbivores can settle for veggie cakes, raw vegetables or good old mejoberries. Kibble is a high tier strat where you feed a dino it's most prefered food for max speed of taming thus max extra levels from taming effectiveness.
Raptors are real overpowered, I got 3 of them, baited myself and running from a therizinosaurus while they attack him, no one died and it goes down in less than 10 seconds
Hello im just Starting Playing Ark i have 3 Raptors i tame all 3 then i have Pack Leader but now i dont understand there is no Pack Leader now i just notice i dont have pack leader i have 7 Raptors now with no Pack Leader Because the Buff disappeared sir do you think it is a bug .
I didn’t need this to tame a raptor. I had my health up to 200 and my melee up to 150, I was walking in a dense forest, axe in hand, then I heard a roar that I didn’t want to hear. I turned around to see a green raptor, about level 3, running full speed. I jumped onto a steep rock behind me and started pelting it with arrows. It died, and I thought I was safe. Only for a raptor to pounce from the back. I got free of its grip, and started clubbing it. It started running for a hill and I followed. I then knocked it out. I named it green boi! Then he died 2 days later and I had so much rage I deleted my world.
rippp. i got 2 raptors, bred up 7 more, and they never died ever again since they instantly killed gigas basically, more like 3 seconds until gigas die, titans, like 10 seconds
I didn't even know about the pack call buff that's pretty fucking epic, they're my favorite dinos in game and irl. Curious though can I have a pack of five and one alpha?

they are also amazing battle mounts, they can take out gigas and titanosaurs

When ark came out I used to watch videos. My first thought was, get a pack of raptors and raise my speed so I can outrun anything and hunt with them
I really thought this was going to be a very short video with Phlinger only saying "They're stupid".
I recommend, if you're starting out and you want to tame raptors, go ahead and use the axe on the phiomia. The raptor isn't going to need a whole stack to tame, let alone many stacks. Plus you get a bunch of hide.
Having just one raptor tamed at the beginning is very helpful because if any other low level dinos come at you, they are asking for a death sentence
Yes but getting one is a pain in the ass,every time I try to take one,his partner comes from behind and mauls you
@@fabioooh Use bolas they're incredibly useful
2:20 Clever girl ..
I both love and hate raptors. I have 20 of them on staff now. Been slowly but surely leveling each of them up to carrying 255 pounds, figuring that would work well enough for most applications.
Bc dilos will give enemies poison and slow them down while raptors can give a stun lock attack and do alot of damage
Love the video helps me out bc where I don't have internet yet I never knew the update for the raptor or the other Dino's so thank you for picking the raptor to show everyone how it works
THIS HELPED ME SO MUCH! SUBBED, LIKED, AND HIT THE BELL ICON!!!! KEEP UP EVERYTHING!!!!

Yes! Great video phlinger, you should do the baryonyx next!
I usually try get like 200 because to outrun a baryonyx, you need 175% or more
bary is ez to kill tho just damage it enough to make it run
02:49 or just turn around and bola him step to his back side and tranq'em no kite needed.

One of my questions, you can go ham with the speed and jump high, can your raptor die from fall damage?
Yup my friend tamed up a unicorn and it died cuz he jumped off a rock😂😂😂 soo not the best of ideas, I’d upgrade stamina and weight and melee damage
Just dismount before you hit the ground
This was a year ago when i was able to play ark, it felt so much nicer back then
just got jumped by 5 raptors and survived!! Thanks for the video.
