So welcome to my guide on how to not die!! (2025) so lets get into it ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~SCENTS~~~~~~~~~~
Scent Colors
Scent, while not incredibly useful, can indicate what animals are in the area.

Chamops-Small Green
Herbivores-Big Green
Carnivores-Orange
Corpses-Purple
Borealosuchus/Brachychampsa/Basilemys-None
Chamops/DePalma's Ornithuran/Palaeosaniwa-Blue Outline ~~~~~~~~~~YOUNG~~~~~~~~~~
Raptor guide>>>> right when you load in you should quickly look around, look for food & water- Your main prey as a baby would be lizards and turtles (turtles may take a long time to kill) make sure to sleep during night to keep it daytime (easier to see prey during day time) you should avoid crocs, pachys, T rexes and older Raptors- Trikes guide>>>now onto trikes, those are a little easier to live and strong, when you load in as a trike you should go ahead and find some food, when you get the plants you should go ahead and grab some water- its your chose to stay with the other Trikes or go on your own, but once you get older you can go on your ownHatchling
Baby dakotaraptors, as adorable as they are, probably have it the hardest. It doesn't help that you are practically on your own at birth, as your parents only really offer as bodyguards, and its not uncommon for your parents to meet their end shortly after you're born. So what's a baby Dakotaraptor to do? Luckily there are some food sources about. Chamops and birds should make up a majority of your diet, with the minority being either carrion or kills your parents have made. You also have the ability to climb trees to escape danger when you are this young.~~~~~~~~~~JUVENILE~~~~~~~~~~
(BACK TO RAPTOR) once you become juvenile you can prob kill ONE pachy if your lucky- your parents will now see you as food and they will kill you BUT as the advantage you will now be able to get on the enemys back and kill them with RMB and LMB for mouse and keyboard- For controller it is LT and RTJuvenile dakotaraptors, while having a better grasp on the world around them, don't have it much better. Forever on your own at this stage, you have to watch out for all manners of predators, ESPECIALLY acheroraptors and other dakotaraptors. Luckily, as a juvenile you gain the ability to glide, allowing you to potentially avoid danger by climbing a tree and gliding over it. A juvenile's diet is not much different from a hatchling's. Chamops and birds should still be your main food source, but one can hunt acheroraptors, albiet at high risk.
(BACK TO TRIKE) once you are juvenile as a trike you can now kill other dinos easier- Nothing more sadly but you just grow older and is stronger you can now easy kill Pachys and maybe even a T rex!! ~~~~~~~~~SUB ADULT~~~~~~~~~ (RAPTOR) Subadult (Age 3)
At this stage a dakotaraptor feels more free and secure about the world around him. At this point in your raptor life, there are alot less threats you have to worry about and alot more things you can eat, which is a good thing considering you've grown too big to climb or glide at this age. You have grown out of lizards and birds and now raptors, palaeosaniwa, and turtles are your main meals. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ADULT~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Adult (Age 6)
You have reached the end. Congrats! The adult dakotaraptor is as big and as bad as you can get. From here practically everything that isn't a triceratops or tyrannosaurus is on the menu. Also, if it just so happened to be too weak for your taste, than at Age 11 you become a super-adult! This "sub-stage" is merely a power increase, but a massive one. Though it does not mean you should be killing Triceratops or T. rex's anytime soon.
