Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a archaeopteryx? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a archaeopteryx.
Someone said you can’t tame by bola on ground on mobile. That’s not true, i try to catch ones with bola then shot with bow and tranq arrow, it WORK. but have to use something like larger storage bc it high enough to cover you from wild animals and it won’t let archa run if they awake
Fun fact, archaeopteryx was very important for it was the creature that confirmed the theory of birds being linked to dinosaurs. 🙂
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...
IS AN ARCHAEOPTERYX WORTH IT?
Well…..
It is in my opinion cause it’s a very easy tame and good glider. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME GETTING A PARACHUTE! These are very fun! However getting down from one is difficult,But otherwise get one very easy. Steps below
1. Get a bow and a tranq arrow
2. Get 1 narcotic 1-5 for levels
3. Kill a scorpion and get the chitin
4. Knock out and feed chitin
5. You have a living parachute
So now you what good it is, it has downsides as well:
Very hard to get down.
The place it is located is very hard and dangerous.
BUT. They can collect sap and other stuff.
Is it worth it? YES IT IS!
I forgot to mention this but it is found in the redwoods.

Archys actually eat chitin even after they’ve been tamed. Don’t make the same mistake I did and let it die of hunger trying to figure out what it eats…
you need a bola to tame him/her, because when it see you, then it run to the trees.I mean on the trees.
Hi there! Just wanted to share a quick tip for mobile players!
So basically these birbs are kinda bugged on mobile so you can't shoot at them with tranqs whenever they're on trees. So I suggest y'all to simply wait for them to get on land and then shoot them (One tranq dart is enough, normally), or you can just bola one then shoot it. Just keep in mind that you just CAN'T shoot them while they're on trees.
Thanks for reading, and I hope you've found my tip useful!

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
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 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
I also made the same mistake as the first dude to comment. To increase dino's glide, upgrade YOUR CHARACTERS MOVEMENTS SPEED.
They eat chitin because they they are an insectivore which means they eat insects and chitin is pretty much just insects.
As a test for science I tried to tame one with shell fragments from Genesis. Noted those don’t work.
Learned there half way up redwood trees have found 10 just sitting on trees
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
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!
“Prefers to eat rare insect matter.” Well dang I guess chitin is rare
Bring bolas when searching for them. These guys are fast, bring a crossbow or better to tranq them.
