ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
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.

I hope these guys get a rework soon, the landing takes forever and you can't use anything else while using them, however if you need sap ASAP tame one, set on wander, and put it next to a tree in the Redwoods, they'll instantly climb up and overtime collect a good amount of it. If either you have the same opinion or find this helpful (or both), please up.
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
