Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a archaeopteryx? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a archaeopteryx.
Take the egg, knock it, feed chitin, There’s a cute little buddy!!
Make sure you have plenty of narcs, as well as a second person, especially with the dangerous wildlife around archeopteryx.
When taming on mobile, bring more tranqs than you need. Their hitbox while on the trees is very difficult to hit and they are too small to reliably hit while they are flying. Try to hit them while they are on the ground. They have a low torpor so not many tranqs needed but it drops quickly.
If youre doing scorched earth put a tent over it
Go to kapro story section every one
So like people have said they are really glitchy and you cant hit them when they are on trees but heres how you tame one
Step 1: find the one you want
Step 2: stalk it until it drops to the ground
Step 3: HAVE A BOLA try to run to it and hit it with a bola as fast as you can
Step 4: (rifle recommended) shoot it in the head with a tranq dart (head has 3x)
Feed and tame :D
They are a very useful tame here is how to tame: get bolas and stay away couple of feet (when they get scared they run up trees) knock it out with darts, arrows or fists ( anything stronger might kill it ) make sure to have knock out berry's cuz they wake up very fast. Get your chitin and feed it. After you tame it pick it up and jump off a cliff ( u will fly ) to go down push X to glide again push X you don't want to drop halfway from the sky then glide again your bird will have a hard time flying again and u will die. Thank u hoped this helped
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.
I suggest using the night vision of the snowy owl, and the net projectile on the harpoon. If you can find one. Im struggling, apparently it's the only dino that can harvest sap. Dododex says so.
He East online Chitin for teaminternen and he Wales up really soon!
Maike sure you have Chitin and a rifle with tranquilize darf with you.
Sorry for bad english
The birb is good for mobile u can pick it up and glide woooooooo hoooooo I love this birb and 1-2 naco berries can be needed and 2-3-6 food for it
To those whose archaeopteryx bug and disappear as soon as they hit the ground, the only solution I have is getting on a flyer that lets you equip things while riding them. I used my griffin and bola'd one while airborne. They will fall to the ground after. Lost 9 bolas trying to hit on while it was on the ground. Best of luck!
Can these be tamed mobile?
They eat bug corpse as taming food
These little birds only eat chitin.
Try to grab it with an argy and put it in a thatch pit with a roof then once contained tranq away
Usually you can find these guys scaling the trees in the redwoods, they are small but if you have good aim you should be able to knock them out. Lots of scorpions in the redwoods too so you should have some chitin from Haverstraw one of them.
Also it has a torpor hit if u upgrade melee and have them inside ur base with a bunch of troodons or small inside base tames these things can paralyze u while another high level tame kills you I suggest these things for inside ur base along with troodons troodons will constantly keep u knocked out had a few when I was starting up
Tried picking one up with Argie got it but for some reason it just comes out of grip
Arches can be picked up with argys which makes easy for catching and knocking out!
