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

Can these be tamed mobile?

Their usually found in the red woods, and are often times found climbing trees, but I have seen a few on the ground. If your looking to tame one, I’d suggest getting several bola, and crouch near it, and bola it down, a lvl 50 or so should only take 3-4 darts, anything above that will be more, but they shouldn’t take much. After that or before, grab some chitin, I’d suggest getting 100+ incase, they don’t rot but you never know if you’ll find a high lvl one you don’t have enough for.
If your also on multiplayer and your close to cap, I’d suggest waiting for cap to go off, before fully knocking one out. I made the mistake of doing it with cap and mine starved to death cause you can’t force feed them chitin

Can be used as a parachute

They are very fast and will only eat chitin. They run away when they see you or you tranq them. Breeding takes chitin too so have lots of chitin. They hide in trees and I have only seen females so Esther males are rare or I’m very bad at finding them

Standard tame, similar to a Dodo, except you need Ghillie armor and a bola. Once trapped in the bola, they can be knocked out by just punching them a few times and then they’ll go night-night. From there you just have to feed them chitin to make them love you, but be careful, as their torpor drain is a fair bit hasty so bring any sedatives such as narcoberries or bio-toxin and you should have your fluffy Archaeopteryx bird!

As a test for science I tried to tame one with shell fragments from Genesis. Noted those don’t work.

They’re in the redwoods. And make a distinct sound when they see you. They get scared & will fly half way up a tree. After they fly up a tree, aim and shoot with tranq’s! After they fall, use kibble or chitin to tame.

These should be shoulder mounts. Disco, my Archaeopteryx from a dungeon, is absolutely amazing. Maybe have the saddle icon for gliding, and the pick-up icon for a shoulder mount? Just an idea. I love this dinosaur.

It only eats chitin. Make sure to put chitin on them for food. Breeding also only takes chitin so make sure you have plenty.
