Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a archaeopteryx? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a archaeopteryx.
Easiest tip: bola it knock it out five at least five chitin and you have another pet
If you're having trouble finding one, get on your bird and go to about halfway up a redwood tree. They like to climb trees and then glide from tree to tree so your chances of finding one in the trees are a lot greater. I found a group of five once in the trees. However, they will glitch when being grabbed from a tree. It might not always be in your birds talons... Anyway, if on the ground, bola it (without scaring it away like a tapejara) and tranq it. It has a low health pool though, so try to watch your arrows.
Dude I spent almost 1 hour looking for a female archeop I found one and tamed it I wanted one to mate it with my males I'm gonna get another one dude but on mobile make sure to give it food do not force feed it because I did and da baby died :c I was so sad because it was so much wait and it was cute because I forced fed it and a glitch happened and he never ate and he died im gonna Miss you charlie
I finally tamed one I was the same guy from tape Jara section who lived in redwoods I loved these little guys so I wanted to tame and I did today he actually saved me from terrorbirds because I almost fell off my tape Jara and he glided so I named him earl the and my Otter Wilson are good friends who chill on my redwoods tree platform he also saved Wilson's live by camouflage him also these guys are the most best creatures they are a living parachute also they don't eat chitin after tame on mobile they eat raw meat I think because my one only ate raw meat not the chitin so I guess it wont eat chitin so I'm saving it to tame earl a female archeop the guy seems lonely so I'm gonna mate and take da lil guy on adventures
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.
I used 2 narco berries and 3 chi tin to tame a lvl 1 archie :| it worked
Someone’s said you cannot shoot them on trees on mobile due to being bugged, they must have patched it because I did.
Make sure you have plenty of narcs, as well as a second person, especially with the dangerous wildlife around archeopteryx.
Hey ark players!! Pretty easy to knock out use a bola one tranq dart 1 narcotic for levels 1-5 mobile. If u want an easy way out steel there egg and they will chase u and u can chase from there. Found in red woods the big trees and your can’t hit. Hope that helps!

This is extremely easy even without a proper taming weapon, just kill some random Terror Bird and maybe it'll drop a bow+tranq arrows and start tra wing the guy
P.S, he eats chitin
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
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
If youre doing scorched earth put a tent over it
Make it climb up a tree then grab it with a flyer and bring it to base
Take the egg, knock it, feed chitin, There’s a cute little buddy!!
Go to kapro story section every one
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.
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
“It’s not on mobile”
Bro ain’t lookin hard enough in red woods. Say that to Sage who my PT ALMOST DIED TO GET! My compy is probably dead to that lvl 50 raptor.
Can these be tamed mobile?
