Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a archaeopteryx? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a archaeopteryx.
Yos they spawn in redwoods bring a argy and use a bow to tame arrow
If you dont have any tranq arrows then just use a club but only for low levels though
I lag to much to get one but is it a knock out tame or passive do they eat meat or berries

Just pick them up with an argie and toss em into a taming pen or enclosed area, easy tame.
Just look at the redwoods trees and you’ll find a few of these flying face first into them until the end of time. Just snag them with a flyer (yes, they can be carried) and watch for thylas as you bring them to a safer spot. Then just bola, tranq and feed chitin to tame. Do note that they still need chitin once tamed and won’t eat anything else, so don’t starve your your new pet.
Little hint if you are on pc press R to deactivate and reactivate then you can have more fun with archierapterix
Standard tame, similar to a Dodo, except you need Ghillie armor and a bola. Once trapped in the bola, they can be knocked out by just punching them a few times and then they’ll go night-night. From there you just have to feed them chitin to make them love you, but be careful, as their torpor drain is a fair bit hasty so bring any sedatives such as narcoberries or bio-toxin and you should have your fluffy Archaeopteryx bird!
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.
Their usually found in the red woods, and are often times found climbing trees, but I have seen a few on the ground. If your looking to tame one, I’d suggest getting several bola, and crouch near it, and bola it down, a lvl 50 or so should only take 3-4 darts, anything above that will be more, but they shouldn’t take much. After that or before, grab some chitin, I’d suggest getting 100+ incase, they don’t rot but you never know if you’ll find a high lvl one you don’t have enough for.
If your also on multiplayer and your close to cap, I’d suggest waiting for cap to go off, before fully knocking one out. I made the mistake of doing it with cap and mine starved to death cause you can’t force feed them chitin

They’re in the redwoods. And make a distinct sound when they see you. They get scared & will fly half way up a tree. After they fly up a tree, aim and shoot with tranq’s! After they fall, use kibble or chitin to tame.
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
Put lvl's in stamina and weight... If it runs out of stam and too heavy it wil lose life and die ..
The good things about this guy is that it can be used as a safe landing parachute. To tame these, you’ll need a lot of patience, a longneck rifle with 5-8 Tranq darts in case you miss. Use a pteranodon and sit on a safe rock and await for the archy to come down the tree. Once you see one of the ground, unmount and knock it out, then feed it the Chitin. The lastly good thing is that on mobile, there food goes down tremendously slow, and chitin doesn’t spoil. So make sure to put lots of chitin in its inventory, I recommend you to use a Pteranodon with this and hold on to your archy and if the pteranodon runs out of stamina, unmount and glide for 5 seconds, then land. Never eland in a dangerous area again
Taming method is exactly the same as the tapejara except it eats chitin.
If you have trouble finding some, get the Genesis DLC on the Ocean map to find tons
He's a duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuiumy
You can’t pick up a wild one with a argy! They glide out
(I’m a mobile player so this may be wrong to others)
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
Idk if its not obvious to anyone else, but these things make it possible to tame something in mid air, even though you move slowly.
The Archaeopteryxes are actually an evolutionary ‘uncle’ and not really ‘parent’ in the evolution or birds.
