Knocking them out is simple as long as they don't see you otherwise they will climb higher into their current tree. They will also glide to other trees if scared too much. One shock dart makes even the highest level. Bola's or Net projectiles suggested.

On PS4 per square and on Xbox press X to stop flying

Mini argies.

Just much less dangerous.

If your having difficulty tranqing one costume a rare flower and there you go bam

If you pick it up… and jump off a cliff and……….. glide.

The reload button toggles the glide off and on (always on by default) but beware! If you turn it off and gain fall speed, when you turn glide back on you will be slowed, but not 100% immune to fall damage anymore. You can still survive a fall from the skybox, if you have at least 200hp.

I first Tamed one of these lil guys on Scorched Earth. It was so much fun to glide around with. It was also great because I would get around quickly and use less energy. Even more so I would be out of reach of the 10000 sabres, wolves, cargos and thorny dragons. Best 10 mins of my ark life until a guy with his wyvern came and cooked us...

Ok so this is king raptor (I have about two Raptors tamed an three breed)And I have been seeing a lot of complaints of y'all saying you can't get down after parachuteting with them. If your on mobile jus attack and yourselves will trow them. Can't believe you didn't know that

Held like a dodo, and not a shoulder mount, resulting it difficulty looking up.

Need parachute? Tame this thing!

I love these little guys so much and they’re so much fun! When you aren’t goofing off and jumping off cliffs with them they prove very useful. If you jump off your flyer(don’t forget to whistle your flyer to follow, if not it might land) while holding your little dude the flyer will remain suspended in midair will regenerate stamina. I tested this on a metal run once and learned that my argy dropped my ankylosaurus that it was carrying when I dismounted so keep that in mind.

-M.L.

Pressing the square button on PS4 stops them from flapping, press the button again to continue, timing the button presses properly will allow you to descend rapidly with no fall damage.

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

Best combo: Run while holding this and jump from a high place to get a bird’s-eye view of what it looks like riding a Ptereradon.

HELP MY ARHCEAOPTRYX IS DYING WHAT DO THEY EAT I FED HIM CHITIN BUT HE DOESN'T EAT IT HE'S GONNA DIE OF STARVATION btw I'm on mobile

These guys make great chibi/skin storages. They eat chitin, you won’t really need to worry about them starving if you fill their inventory with it. Using this as a parachute is okay however you can’t use any hand items,(weapons, spyglass, etc….) while holding the Archaeopteryx. They fall to slowly. You can cancel the glide while falling and can’t re-enter the glide later, that I’m aware of. They’re better to be cryopoded and used in caves as gliders if you want to safely jump over gaps.

If you get a beelzebufo (frog) you can use it to knock one out, they can be hard to control but they can jump to hit an archa already on a tree (it’s hard to do though)

Idk if its not obvious to anyone else, but these things make it possible to tame something in mid air, even though you move slowly.

They are awesome name idea? Dive Bomb! Cause if you want to dive then glide again press reload button!!

Its an infinite parachute that doesnt weigh a lot you just have to feed it
