Tips & Strategies

To tame this, you have to go to the forests (because that’s where they spawn) or somewhere else where they spawn, when you find one, knock it out with the method you find easiest, they will only eat kibble (simple kibble on all platforms except mobile and switch and pelagornis kibble on mobile and switch) they also eat chitin which is obtained from killing insects so go out and kill some titanorymas (or however you say it) to get some chitin. When it’s tamed, it acts as a portable hand glider and can be carried on the shoulder (I think) they are also carried by many birds, Wyverns, gigantopithecus, kaprosuchus and procoptodon (if it’s a baby). If you want more tips for taming, just go to the tame and KO section and look for a very long comment, btw sorry for it being so long.
More Archaeopteryx Taming & KO Tips
I see the Otter God, the Jerboa King and the Defender of Bulbdogs made an early move. Now I the Archaeopteryx Lord shall rise. If any one of you guys kill these birbs I will look for you and feed your soul to the ravenous birbs I own. So if you see one my birbs Naruto running away for you, DO NOT kill it instead be its friend, they are a great parachute and they are wholesome creatures to begin with. So you have be warned by the Archaeopteryx Lord...
IS AN ARCHAEOPTERYX WORTH IT?
Well…..
It is in my opinion cause it’s a very easy tame and good glider. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME GETTING A PARACHUTE! These are very fun! However getting down from one is difficult,But otherwise get one very easy. Steps below
1. Get a bow and a tranq arrow
2. Get 1 narcotic 1-5 for levels
3. Kill a scorpion and get the chitin
4. Knock out and feed chitin
5. You have a living parachute
So now you what good it is, it has downsides as well:
Very hard to get down.
The place it is located is very hard and dangerous.
BUT. They can collect sap and other stuff.
Is it worth it? YES IT IS!
I forgot to mention this but it is found in the redwoods.

Standard bola, 2 tranq arrows and feed chitin
Can be used as a parachute
Hi there! Just wanted to share a quick tip for mobile players!
So basically these birbs are kinda bugged on mobile so you can't shoot at them with tranqs whenever they're on trees. So I suggest y'all to simply wait for them to get on land and then shoot them (One tranq dart is enough, normally), or you can just bola one then shoot it. Just keep in mind that you just CAN'T shoot them while they're on trees.
Thanks for reading, and I hope you've found my tip useful!

Remember they don't eat meat they eat chitin
People say its not on mobile tell that to my glider
Just Bola ,it knock it Out(you dont need arrows, a Club ist enough) and Feed it with Chitin.
It only eats chitin. Make sure to put chitin on them for food. Breeding also only takes chitin so make sure you have plenty.
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
