What are tips for archaeopteryx? Tips and strategies for archaeopteryx in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
When taming on mobile, bring more tranqs than you need. Their hitbox while on the trees is very difficult to hit and they are too small to reliably hit while they are flying. Try to hit them while they are on the ground. They have a low torpor so not many tranqs needed but it drops quickly.
These can also be found in the desert region I believe, I encountered only a few there though
They are a very useful tame here is how to tame: get bolas and stay away couple of feet (when they get scared they run up trees) knock it out with darts, arrows or fists ( anything stronger might kill it ) make sure to have knock out berry's cuz they wake up very fast. Get your chitin and feed it. After you tame it pick it up and jump off a cliff ( u will fly ) to go down push X to glide again push X you don't want to drop halfway from the sky then glide again your bird will have a hard time flying again and u will die. Thank u hoped this helped
Make it climb up a tree then grab it with a flyer and bring it to base
I suggest using the night vision of the snowy owl, and the net projectile on the harpoon. If you can find one. Im struggling, apparently it's the only dino that can harvest sap. Dododex says so.
I found that if you use a pheromone dart (you need ammonite bile) then it attracts them to the Dino you shoot, but after they kill it they start attacking me, this makes it easy for me to knock them out and tame them
Arches can be picked up with argys which makes easy for catching and knocking out!
These little birds only eat chitin.
Im prettey sure if you wear chitin then they aggro to you
Try to grab it with an argy and put it in a thatch pit with a roof then once contained tranq away
To anyone from wildcard. The bird isnt the source of the mobile bug. Its the trees themselves. Something about them breaks things. I've had multiple hives stop working. Never had a tap stop however, so my guess would be collision detection. If you have a bird stuck up a tree you can request them and pick up their bag once they land. Fixes* the birds (applying fix loosely)
Very annoying. One second their running haywire in front of you, the next their gone.
