Fun fact, archaeopteryx was very important for it was the creature that confirmed the theory of birds being linked to dinosaurs. 🙂

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

As a test for science I tried to tame one with shell fragments from Genesis. Noted those don’t work.

Can be used as a parachute

These should be shoulder mounts. Disco, my Archaeopteryx from a dungeon, is absolutely amazing. Maybe have the saddle icon for gliding, and the pick-up icon for a shoulder mount? Just an idea. I love this dinosaur.

Sense breeding and taming takes chitin I recommend taking a bary or your preferred cave creature and kill Spiders and Scorpions I got 300 from one trip :)

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

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.

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

In real life it linked between birds and reptiles

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

On mobile next to impossible to tame the normal way, I just tamed one by grabbing it from the top of a tree and bringing it very far away from redwoods, then tranq it then tame it. Lots of work, but I love them so it’s worth it.

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.

They can be found on the middle mountain in the red woods and bad enough near the argys.Luckily they can be picked up by mostly any flyer ex:a pteradon.knocking them out is easy just a few darts and to the body and BAMN KNOKED. Then just feed it what Dododex says

It’s a lot easier to use a bola when taking than just going for it. One buck with an equus also knocks it out. Make sure to be certain something is a micro raptor before killing it, cause these things are rare and look virtually the same

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

Bola one that is on the ground and sting it with a scorpion once. Don’t need the saddle just target and whistle passive but you have to be quick.

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.

Easiest tip: bola it knock it out five at least five chitin and you have another pet
