Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a archaeopteryx? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a archaeopteryx.
Fun fact, archaeopteryx was very important for it was the creature that confirmed the theory of birds being linked to dinosaurs. 🙂
Just tamed a lvl 145 female and lvl 150 male with only 5 simple kibble for both of them. That's on normal x1 taming on Xbox. They have pretty colors. Bolas, 6 tranq darts, simple kibble and BAM! Got yourself a cutie birdy.
Hope this helps!
“Prefers to eat rare insect matter.” Well dang I guess chitin is rare
I see the Otter God, the Jerboa King and the Defender of Bulbdogs made an early move. Now I the Archaeopteryx Lord shall rise. If any one of you guys kill these birbs I will look for you and feed your soul to the ravenous birbs I own. So if you see one my birbs Naruto running away for you, DO NOT kill it instead be its friend, they are a great parachute and they are wholesome creatures to begin with. So you have be warned by the Archaeopteryx Lord...
Standard bola, 2 tranq arrows and feed chitin
Can be used as a parachute
People say its not on mobile tell that to my glider
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
On mobile these guys tend to glitch out a lot, so try to shoot them when there completely still on a tree. When glitching they often just teleport tree to tree and/or slowly slide down the tree until they fall to the floor (from my experience you cannot hurt or knock them out in this state)
Hope this helps!
It only eats chitin. Make sure to put chitin on them for food. Breeding also only takes chitin so make sure you have plenty.
They eat chitin because they they are an insectivore which means they eat insects and chitin is pretty much just insects.
I also made the same mistake as the first dude to comment. To increase dino's glide, upgrade YOUR CHARACTERS MOVEMENTS SPEED.
If u pick them up with an argy on Mobil
They will simple BUTTER out of your argy’s claws
Up this so you won’t wast your time like. I did
This may seem obvious but if you see an egg TAKE IT! Once taken the female will agro you, knock it out with tranqs and then badaboom it's yours! These guys are a pain in the ass to find and/or tame so taking an egg is probably the easiest way to get em (especially on mobile since they glitch out)
Tell me, tell me will it eat berries after tamed or they are chitin eaters? I want to tame one so i need to know
Up for chitin
Down for berries
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
Use this with a gigantopithecus’s throw ability and you can get some serious speed and distance.
As a test for science I tried to tame one with shell fragments from Genesis. Noted those don’t work.
Been playing mobile since 2018(give or take) and never seen a female. Why?

Can occasionally be found on the ground. If so, bola and knock out with fists, I fear that anything else might kill it. Feed a little chitin and boom an adorable feathered parachute!
