Fun fact, archaeopteryx was very important for it was the creature that confirmed the theory of birds being linked to dinosaurs. 🙂

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 : )

IS AN ARCHAEOPTERYX WORTH IT?

Well…..

It is in my opinion cause it’s a very easy tame and good glider. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME GETTING A PARACHUTE! These are very fun! However getting down from one is difficult,But otherwise get one very easy. Steps below

1. Get a bow and a tranq arrow

2. Get 1 narcotic 1-5 for levels

3. Kill a scorpion and get the chitin

4. Knock out and feed chitin

5. You have a living parachute

So now you what good it is, it has downsides as well:

Very hard to get down.

The place it is located is very hard and dangerous.

BUT. They can collect sap and other stuff.

Is it worth it? YES IT IS!

I forgot to mention this but it is found in the redwoods.

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

I see the Otter God, the Jerboa King and the Defender of Bulbdogs made an early move. Now I the Archaeopteryx Lord shall rise. If any one of you guys kill these birbs I will look for you and feed your soul to the ravenous birbs I own. So if you see one my birbs Naruto running away for you, DO NOT kill it instead be its friend, they are a great parachute and they are wholesome creatures to begin with. So you have be warned by the Archaeopteryx Lord...

Press R on the pc version to stop and start your glide. Didn’t see a single comment that said this so here’s the first. ;)

Hi there! Just wanted to share a quick tip for mobile players!

So basically these birbs are kinda bugged on mobile so you can't shoot at them with tranqs whenever they're on trees. So I suggest y'all to simply wait for them to get on land and then shoot them (One tranq dart is enough, normally), or you can just bola one then shoot it. Just keep in mind that you just CAN'T shoot them while they're on trees.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you've found my tip useful!

Amazing for riding Ptera. Right before you run out of stamina on ptera, simply jump off while holding one of these and the ptera will regain its stamina in the air. Once your pteras stamina is full you can hop back on. Never need to land in dangerous areas again.

Fun fact: Archaeopteryx means “ancient wing”

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

Hey ark players!! Pretty easy to knock out use a bola one tranq dart 1 narcotic for levels 1-5 mobile. If u want an easy way out steel there egg and they will chase u and u can chase from there. Found in red woods the big trees and your can’t hit. Hope that helps!

Standard bola, 2 tranq arrows and feed chitin

Can be used as a parachute

If you tame one and put it in wander near a redwood tree it will eventuly collect sap (descovered that this morning while i wanted it to wander in my small dino enclosur)

Acts as a more agile parachute at the cost of not being a shoulder mount.

Some youtubers say that they are useless. WRONG. They are better than wasting time crafting a parachute and they can attack and they are small so very hard to target. I saw one of these drill through a rex and the thing didn’t even take damage once and the rex died.

People say its not on mobile tell that to my glider

U can use this as an parashute

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
