We all hate this annoying pest, but here’s a guide to tame one for those of you who want to

1. Microraptors will knock you off your mount, and that’s the easiest way to tame them, so before attempting kill everything aggressive to a player, because they could kill you

2. The best way to tame this is by standing still and letting it pounce you off your mount. After doing so, it should aggro on you or your mount, instead of running around at Mach 5, so it will be easier to hit. I recommend bringing armor, so you won’t take much damage.

3. Shoot it with tranq arrows or tranq darts, it shouldn’t take very many, so bring 10ish tranq arrows, or 5ish tranq darts. They are slow once they have pounced you, so you don’t need to trap it because you can outrun it

4. If you have access to kibble or mutton they are great to use, if not, use prime, you may lose a few levels though it’s torpor doesn’t drop very fast, so bring a few berries or narcs and you should be good. It’s a pretty quick tame so I recommend just waiting near it for it to tame

Happy taming!

P.S. I am making an in depth taming guide for every creature in ark, so please check out my other tips, which all follow this format and end in Happy taming! If any are helpful please raise them to the sky so they can help others. Thanks!
