The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the Raptor at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.

Below is a breakdown of knockout weapon requirements for the Raptor across various creature levels. Always pace your shots. Torpor takes time to apply, and over-shooting can be lethal.

To simplify the knockout, immobilize the Raptor first with Bola or Bear Trap. A Argentavis can also pick it up and drop it into a taming pen for a controlled knockout.

The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Raptor unconscious through the full taming duration. Bio Toxin is twice as potent as Narcotics (80 vs 40 Torpor per use), while Narcoberries work in a pinch at just 7.5 Torpor each. At 0.3 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.

Track the taming process with the timers below - they monitor both Torpor and starvation progress. The torpor timer alerts you when narcotics are needed. The starve timer tracks Food depletion for starve-taming, where you let the food bar drop before placing all food at once.

The Raptor is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. Classified under the Misc group.

The Raptor has 200 base Health - not particularly tanky. Melee starts at 100% - solid damage output that scales with level-ups. With 150 base Stamina, the Raptor has decent staying power. It carries 140 base Weight - modest carrying capacity.

The Raptor is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. Feed it Simple Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.

After taming, the Raptor earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 20°C–28°C temperature window. Defeating one in the wild grants 3 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.23 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
