How do I kill a archaeopteryx? archaeopteryx battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Beware these mf are fast super past u need a 200000 speed anything to catch
To the person who said they couldn’t find a femal the first one I tamed was a femal
It can spawn in dugeons i got one at lv1 there killed it and summonef it at my red obliesk base inside house i built around it so rainbow color for the win i guess
If you’re looking to start a sap farm,u should be able to find them in the redwood forest on the island and around Joshua trees on scorched earth. But do not get too close to it.
Is this in the island?Please tell me!
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
If you're character has enough movement speed you can escape almost anyone except when you're in water but these little guys are often underestimated they may be small but they are decently strong I mean c'mon what small bird can carry you so I definitely recommend these
Silly Survivor
I usually find some in the redwoods in survival evolved just walking around or in a tree.
These things make me mad! I've been trying to find a micoraptor to tame for 2 hours now and these guys get my Hope's up. They look identical to the micoraptor, the only difference is that these guys run away from you. I wasted like 25 bolas already !
I LOVE THESE THINGS THEY RESCUED ME TOO MANY TIMES TO CARNOS T REX RAPTORS But sadly..mine died 😭
So they ‘glide’ to other trees (nah they actually teleport lol) so that makes your life worse,they also eat ‘RARE’ insect matter (chitin), plus they are impossible to f*king hit those btches with tranqs so good luck taming one of these,they r impossible ive tried 10 TIMES TODAY
Sh*t them a**sholes they hurt rex
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
Don't get too close or they will jump up the nearest tree.
Despite having a fearful temperament it does not run from anything else, the only it does flee from, is you... for some reason...
i stomped on one with my giga by accident
i just wanna say sorry to all the archa fans
😰😰😰
If you have a ponytail or big hair wear a hat because then it's less of a chance of it to get you and make sure you don't have a egg in your house
These guys are the best dino in da world!u kill one and I burry u alive!!
Best
Way to kill it is to get a bola of its and use a machete
Very rare to find on Valguero. If you sell them in a Val server make sure to charge over 5k poly for a egg.
