Tips & Strategies
I hear on standard servers it only takes 1 rare flower to tame a 150. I can confirm it does at 2.5 (5x old rates) rates at least. Also they look almost identical to Archas almost, especially at a distance or while mounted.
Let's just say I'm grateful for parachutes
These can be found on scorched earth even though it dosnt show it on the ark wiki
Wild card please delete these they serve no purpose but to make your life hell.
Though commonly mistaken for Archeopteryx, the difference between the two theropods is the microraptors blinding speed, and ability to leap up into the air and orbit the player until stunning them and dismounting them from any creature they're on. Keep an eye on the bushes and trees, they can be anywhere in the redwoods forest.
I'm just glad they didn't give them poison damage as these creatures had venom IRL!
Use a bolo on them, makes them infinitely more manageable. I always carry at least 5 bolos
One of these rushed me and I paniced and threw a bola at it. It hit him and I started killing him in cold blood when he fell asleep cuz I had been using tranq arrows. Tamed him up but still so mad
Microraptors are very useful tames for pvp. They’re ability to knock player off mounts means that you can have microraptors hidden around your base in case an angry player is going around raiding bases, the microraptors will kick the player of the mount and leave you a chance to kill the player while they are stunned.
They only stun you if your on a mount, to tame go on foot.
They seem to only do their stun attack on mounted players. If you hear/see one coming towards you, dismount immediately. Theyll fly around you a bunch but wont stun you.
After reading these tips, im actually pretty lucky :D ive never had much problems with these guys, usually im riding my argi near the ground, looking for something to tame when these knock me off my mount. I dont actually get mad at them, i just whistle for my argi to be on neutral and my argi kills them. They never stun my argi. I actually look for them sometimes because theyre super cute and i want one (i dont have one yet). But then, the "Omg its so cute thing" also goes with terror birds and carnos for me, which my sister despises and she'll never forgive me for loving the "ugly" things.
Don't agro as it's nimble on foot. Tranc dart and rare flowers will make this prehistoric turkey yours rather quick.
If you are attempting to tame one or one is running up on you(pending no preditors are around) dismount as they fly around you, they will not stun and you can throw a quick bola. They are pretty weak downed a 174 with 2 darts from a 161% rifle using this technique. Great in pvp to terrorize people, I personally use them for kibble and they are just neat shoulder mounts.
Rare flowers insta tame it just don't let it bite you. Would make excellent pvp house defense.
Wide card plz add them to ark mobile I really want to see them in game and the only device I have is iPad so o can only do ark mobile
These creatures can prevent you from moving
