If you have access to them, use rare flowers to take these little bastards, as you only need one of them no matter the level of the microraptor. It’s also their favorite food so I think it will give them the most levels. Don’t down so new players can see

I hate these bastards with a burning passion. They have knocked me off my mount so many times in the red woods, get my health down while I’m stunned and then some Carno or terror bird comes over and finishes me off. They will kill you, your family and anything you have ever loved.

I fear these more than a giga and it isn’t a joke. I literally have ptsd from my first encounter.

Be ware!, they are the best kicker of all ARK. Imagine they hit your head with their super tiny leg, and surprisingly, with its power, they can knock u off from your mount and stunt both of you easily. Thats the power of the chiken leg

Oh yeah, dont forget with their massive scream. If you translate it, they say " u expecting an archeo, but its me MICRO!!! ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!"

This little birdie will knock you off your mount. He is a must tame for pvp servers

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!

To the guy that asked if I really wanna be that guy who stuns people off their mounts, yes!

When tamed, you can use Microraptors to stun other players and dismount them. But do you really want to be that guy?

A single rare flower will tame up to a level 150. They are incredibly fast, use tranquilizer darts or shock darts. Beware the stun and ability to knock you off your mount.

I’m a lvl 100 with my favourite mount being a lvl 250 wyvern and if I see one on these I run away
