Can be used as a parachute

It only eats chitin. Make sure to put chitin on them for food. Breeding also only takes chitin so make sure you have plenty.

I also made the same mistake as the first dude to comment. To increase dino's glide, upgrade YOUR CHARACTERS MOVEMENTS SPEED.

Learned there half way up redwood trees have found 10 just sitting on trees

Bring bolas when searching for them. These guys are fast, bring a crossbow or better to tranq them.

Just pick them up with an argie and toss em into a taming pen or enclosed area, easy tame.

These guys are really fast (bring bola's), they are really hard to find they usually spawn near the medium sized trees with the spiky leaves.

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

Use a ramshackle slingshot to knock it out chiten is standard but can tame it quickly. Ps if you can not find an archa look up in the redwood trees.

Make sure you have plenty of narcs, as well as a second person, especially with the dangerous wildlife around archeopteryx.

If you're having trouble finding one, get on your bird and go to about halfway up a redwood tree. They like to climb trees and then glide from tree to tree so your chances of finding one in the trees are a lot greater. I found a group of five once in the trees. However, they will glitch when being grabbed from a tree. It might not always be in your birds talons... Anyway, if on the ground, bola it (without scaring it away like a tapejara) and tranq it. It has a low health pool though, so try to watch your arrows.

By far, the easiest method (in my experience) for taming one of these little guys is this:

Beforehand, prepare about 50 narcotics, as it doesn't take too long to tame a lvl 150. You'll need either chitin or Pelagornis kibble. I would just use chitin since you only need about 80 or so for a lvl 150. Next, you'll want to have a bola. I would craft at least 3 in case you miss. Once it's tied up, go ahead and tranq it with tranq arrows or darts. You shouldn't need more than 20 tranqs. That's taking into account how often you may miss. But since it's tied up, you'll have far more than you need afterwards. I suggest letting it starve all the way down, and then putting in the chitin. That way your resources arent vulnerable until the last second. Wait a little bit, and you should have a lvl 150 Archa. Enjoy :) (Lower levels follow the same method with less resources, I simply used 150 as the example.)

Arches can be picked up with argys which makes easy for catching and knocking out!

Found in the redwood forest biome mostly on The Island, can be seen majority of the time flying from tree to tree. Best tactic to taking is a decent longneck rifle and tranq darts. Shoot them after they have landed on a tree as they rest for a moment before moving again giving perfect window of opportunity. The redwood can be dangerous so bring a means of defense like spiked wall

Adorable living parachute. I like to trap them under the feet of of my Dino and shoot it with tranqs, after that it's pretty easy. It's just very hard to find unless in scorched earth.

Protip: like the vulture, in Scorched if you find one walking around throw a tent over it and go inside to KO with whatever you want. Makes for a safe and easy tame same for any of the small tames.

If you have a flyer and the archaeopteryx is flying high just hit it once it should fall down then just run after it it is easy after that

usually one or two flying around above the tree tops. use a ptera with full stamina to grab it and fly to a taming building. easy and quick tame using chitin

Fun fast tame. I flew around my base on one and every little bump can send you flying. Be careful if you are on a tame because I was attacking a bronto with my spino and it died.

Very annoying. One second their running haywire in front of you, the next their gone.
