ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion

Tips & Strategies

Go to the redwood, look at the trees they'll often fly from one tree to the next. It can take some time to find but when you do they spawn in bunches. Now here's a nifty trick. Not all "grab point" on tree work perfectly, if the archa can't grab the tree it'll just fall vertically to the ground for not only an easy time to tranq it, but also other archas might fall to the ground near the same spot when they come along to feed! I tamed 3 archa in one spot for the price of one (fourth one got away).
Careful about the wildlife especially the angry birds

Careful not to confuse these with a microraptor. One will flee in fear, the other will rko you and eat your face
Fun fact: Archaeopteryx means βancient wingβ
Make sure you DON'T mistake them for Micros. These dudes run. I've accidentally killed one thinking it was a micro. Always use a spy glass to tell which is which. Finding these cute lil fellas is hard especially with all the thylas and terror birds around. To tame them you'll need Chitin so go kill some ants or dragonflies and then boom you have a lil buddy you can love forever, well y'know until they die or you quit.

Alright, so basically I found one of these in the wild and REALLY wanted one. But with all the fun things in the Redwoods willing to take out anything that looks at them... Well you get the idea. But when I went to a dungeon and saw a Eerie one I wanted it SO bad. So I killed that one took its creature implant, revived it at one of the obelisks and tamed that glory bird up. Now I have a light up parachute!
These are NOT rare, just hard to find. Keep a close eye on the redwood trees, make sure to circle the trees, and listen for the noise they make.
You can also find these in the fuzzy trees in scorched earth by the small mountain
Won't assault you however if you go near it it will flee. This is because it's skittish in temperment. If you wish to tame keep this in mind
I had made a base in red wood and was up in the trees when I heard a scream, I look around me spot one of these guys are immediately knew that I needed one of these
Found on the redwood forest on mobile, thought not that common.
