If your having difficulty tranqing one costume a rare flower and there you go bam

Be VERY cautious when gliding with one of these. I had ventured to the volcano for some amber and metal searching, and I jumped off and began gliding with my little Archae named Skaikru. When I accidentally tapped the screen (Be aware, I am on mobile.) And I chucked little Skaikru right into the outskirts of Redwoods, with my army Valkyrie following my plummeting body all the way down.

Moral: If you’re on mobile whilst gliding with one of these, DO NOT TAP THE SCREEN.

When tamed it just eat chitin

It don't eat meat

If you go to ocean East they spawn there in Gen 1

Throw yourself off a gigantopithecus while holding this fun lil guy

i found a lvl 260 eerie female in the redwoods, tried taming her but yadadada its a pain to tame until she got stuck in my tree base

I LOVE HERRRR

Saved my life more then once, when I have fell off my dino.

The Archaeopteryxes are actually an evolutionary ‘uncle’ and not really ‘parent’ in the evolution or birds.

Flight speed is defined over your movement speed, not the Archeopteryx'

Put points into stamina instead

I hope it gets reworked on the landing part in Mobile. These things can take a while to land (depending on how high you are in terrain), but definitely recommend taming it. When I first started taming it I saw it's eggs, then it aggroed on me after I picked them up. Fortunately I had my Ptera with me, which I used to pick it up after it aggroed. After that I flew it back to base and tranqued it out with two tranq arrows (I used a longbow and hit it hard the first time then barely pulled it back the second time and knocked it out that way as to not do too much damage). And then fed it chitin, for Mobile as long as it's a low level (1-5+) you only need four chitin, if it's ten or up you'll need five or more (this is on Mobile). Sorry for the long tip.

Ark tip: Archeopteryx can be use as a glider.

Archeopteryx can be found on red wood forest in the trees.

They’re very skittish and hard to hit. And for some reason on ark mobile they disappear once they hit the ground. At least that’s how it is on the server I play on. It’s also how I lost most of my toxicant arrows trying to hit one.

You can use this when you throwed by gigantopithecus

It will be fun

I literally find hundreds just chillin on trees in the redwoods. It's really helpful to make a tree platform and just wait until one lands on your tree and then shoot it with tranqs. It's much easier then trying to shoot one from the ground, and trying to find it once it's knocked out.

Knocking them out is simple as long as they don't see you otherwise they will climb higher into their current tree. They will also glide to other trees if scared too much. One shock dart makes even the highest level. Bola's or Net projectiles suggested.

On PS4 per square and on Xbox press X to stop flying

Pressing the square button on PS4 stops them from flapping, press the button again to continue, timing the button presses properly will allow you to descend rapidly with no fall damage.

Taming a archaeopteryx is easy but one thing is that they get easily startled. So you'll have to have bolas and tranq arrows or a wooden club. Also chitin to tame it.

If you pick it up… and jump off a cliff and……….. glide.

Mini argies.

Just much less dangerous.
