Careful not to confuse these with a microraptor. One will flee in fear, the other will rko you and eat your face

just tamed a level 4 on mobile level 5 after done taming just gave meat and the option feed appeared im guessing they are carnivores once tamed

Fun fact: Archaeopteryx means “ancient wing”

Don't put points into its movement speed if you want to glide faster. It glides as fast you run, so putting points into your movement speed will increase how fast it will glide. Hope this saves you from wasting levels like me : )

As a test for science I tried to tame one with shell fragments from Genesis. Noted those don’t work.

Alright, so basically I found one of these in the wild and REALLY wanted one. But with all the fun things in the Redwoods willing to take out anything that looks at them... Well you get the idea. But when I went to a dungeon and saw a Eerie one I wanted it SO bad. So I killed that one took its creature implant, revived it at one of the obelisks and tamed that glory bird up. Now I have a light up parachute!

They are very fast and will only eat chitin. They run away when they see you or you tranq them. Breeding takes chitin too so have lots of chitin. They hide in trees and I have only seen females so Esther males are rare or I’m very bad at finding them

It's a very good bird. It really helps with staying in the air if you fall off your flying mount and need to get back on. It's practically living glider!

Hit X (on Xbox controller) to stop and start glide.

Can be used as a parachute

I keep one just for its beauty😊

In Mobile, bring a Equus then kick it in the face before it run/glide then boom insta knockout. Feed with chittin and watchout for torpidity it wakes really fast.

can slowly collect sap from redwood trees if on wonder.

Oh archaeopteryx, you little chicken on steroids. This little guys is just a whole load of fun. They can carry you over vast distances, but also double as a, hey you seem to be falling, lemme help you out. However, getting down can be a bit of a problem. Otherwise... WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO OH YEAH IM RIDING THE SKY USING THE POWER OF A LITTLE CHICKEN THING

In mobile version they don't use stamina while gliding and can glide the player regardless of his weight for example my archaeopteryx has 33kg weight while I had 300kg iron on me , glided just fine from redwood hill to all the way to herbivore island(my base) without any issue... Well there was a problem thou that archaeopteryx would not land as it never ran out of stamina so I had to whistle my Tapejara and get on it to land. This is possibly a bug so use it while u can ;) happy infinite gliding.
P.S. I was not in godmode or infinite stats.

I had made a base in red wood and was up in the trees when I heard a scream, I look around me spot one of these guys are immediately knew that I needed one of these

It only eats chitin. Make sure to put chitin on them for food. Breeding also only takes chitin so make sure you have plenty.

Don't jump of a bird at the world ceiling with one of these. It takes way longer than you expect to hit the ground.

I also made the same mistake as the first dude to comment. To increase dino's glide, upgrade YOUR CHARACTERS MOVEMENTS SPEED.

On mobile next to impossible to tame the normal way, I just tamed one by grabbing it from the top of a tree and bringing it very far away from redwoods, then tranq it then tame it. Lots of work, but I love them so it’s worth it.
