Just tamed a lvl 145 female and lvl 150 male with only 5 simple kibble for both of them. That's on normal x1 taming on Xbox. They have pretty colors. Bolas, 6 tranq darts, simple kibble and BAM! Got yourself a cutie birdy.

Hope this helps!

WARNING: These do not count as shoulder pets when you carry them, the are held the same way as dodos and dung beetles. Therefore THEY TAKE DAMAGE WHEN HELD. Even if your riding a mount your fragile little bird can get hit by anything that targets you. Found that out the hard way.

RIP Perrashoot

Blud ran up to me saying hello so I now have 3 gliders

When holding an archaeopteryx, you cannot grab anything, you need to drop the bird to use items like pile or spyglass

litterally just bola and punch it. Be sure to have at least 10 chitin

Ok so this is king raptor (I have about two Raptors tamed an three breed)And I have been seeing a lot of complaints of y'all saying you can't get down after parachuteting with them. If your on mobile jus attack and yourselves will trow them. Can't believe you didn't know that

We citizens of archaeopteryxs declare that the archaeopteryx lord is a big f@t meanie. upp so we can elect a new lord

For switch player Y makes u glide and unglide

It’s a lot easier to use a bola when taking than just going for it. One buck with an equus also knocks it out. Make sure to be certain something is a micro raptor before killing it, cause these things are rare and look virtually the same

Halfway up the redwood trees ar thylacoleo too. Watch out, you may just get pounced off your mount in mid air.

May sometimes spawn on the floors of deserts, beware that microraptors look exactly like them!

Put lvl's in stamina and weight... If it runs out of stam and too heavy it wil lose life and die ..

I love these little guys so much and they’re so much fun! When you aren’t goofing off and jumping off cliffs with them they prove very useful. If you jump off your flyer(don’t forget to whistle your flyer to follow, if not it might land) while holding your little dude the flyer will remain suspended in midair will regenerate stamina. I tested this on a metal run once and learned that my argy dropped my ankylosaurus that it was carrying when I dismounted so keep that in mind.

-M.L.

If you tamed one of these little guys, remember, they still eat chitin when tamed so don’t put it in their inventory’s if u wanna save some

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

To the mobile players , I tamed one today and they are insanely useful. For metal runs, just get the leg day buff and as long as you have 150%+ mvment speed you can carry thoursands of metals from the volcano to anywhere on the map, wothout needing an argy i carried 3.5k metal from the volcano all the way to the south beaches very fast.

I love this game so much and I will always play this

This creature goes really well with griffins, since the stamina on them is low and they’re really easy to get back on after jumping off.

Taming method is exactly the same as the tapejara except it eats chitin.

If you start off in the ocean biome, there great early games as they can travel from Island to island. All you need to knock it out is a bola and club, and the chitin used to tame it can be bought from Helena or gathered from trilobites.
