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

When playing on the Center, be warned that they are very DIFFICULT to find because they hide in the bushes. If you aren't careful, you'll probably get lost and die by the Carnos and Terror Birds that lurk in the Redwoods.

Usually found in and around the redwood forests, these little guys can be used as parachutes if you fall from a tame/ structure and save you dying. You will probably need a bola because although a passive creature it will fly to the nearest tree and latch on if you get too close

Grabbed one with an argy to take back to base to tame but when leaving the redwood, the little sucker startled and was able to leap free to a nearby tree

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

Check other tribes platforms if able, I've found a couple stuck on them.

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.

like most small to medium sized creatures, a decent lvl horse can knock them out quick before they can escape. nice utility tames (organic parachute) as far as encountering goes....well good luck distinguishing them from microraptors......

Easy to find on extinction search on the city buildings

Don't get too close or they will jump up the nearest tree.

I found a an emerald green one and then a rex came and ate me and it.

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

Despite having a fearful temperament it does not run from anything else, the only it does flee from, is you... for some reason...

You can use tranq darts and shoot them out of the trees instead of having to sneak up on them to try to hit them before they run, it's just hard to hit them due to having such a small hit box so take the time to aim carefully

something no one else seems to have mentioned here though... DO NOT TAKE THEIR EGGS... You will suffer for it

they seem like they're slow animals, but you take those eggs and they are the fastest damn thing you have ever seen. Faster than even raptors.

if you think you're only seeing two or three in one tree... I guarantee you more will show up and attack if you touch those eggs.

I was in the process of trying to find a decent level one to tame, I found a single Archie that just has a dropped egg, and it went up the tree so I grabbed the egg...

I got mobbed by about 10 of them and the only reason I didn't die is because I had five tamed argentavis to fight them off before they could kill me.

Flak armor is useless against flocks of angry archaeopteryx

Shoot it once or twice with a cross bow with trank arrows then just feed it females are more common I’m looking for a male to breed it doesn’t take much time to tame but have plenty of narcotics or narcoberrys

Honestly only good for an parachute because wen u hold em u can't access weapons
