Tried picking one up with Argie got it but for some reason it just comes out of grip
I found three of these launching themselves high up into the air near the redwoods on the island. They were then circling and trying to attack something that looked like a floating rock but wasn’t a rock. Almost looked like a component from a saddle or something. One of the oddest things I’ve seen a wild Dino do.
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
Arches can be picked up with argys which makes easy for catching and knocking out!
Dude I spent almost 1 hour looking for a female archeop I found one and tamed it I wanted one to mate it with my males I'm gonna get another one dude but on mobile make sure to give it food do not force feed it because I did and da baby died :c I was so sad because it was so much wait and it was cute because I forced fed it and a glitch happened and he never ate and he died im gonna Miss you charlie
This is extremely easy even without a proper taming weapon, just kill some random Terror Bird and maybe it'll drop a bow+tranq arrows and start tra wing the guy
P.S, he eats chitin
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
Make it climb up a tree then grab it with a flyer and bring it to base
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
