Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a archaeopteryx? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a archaeopteryx.
I’ve heard the Archaeopteryx Lord has said to spare these “things”, but I, the Mesopithecus Master, offer a better option, violence
You can find them on extinction I did and found to cause my brother hit it alot then I Bola it and it takes damage from Bola ☹ thankfully it reopened and I tamed with Bola and fist
They will collect sap on redwoods trees if on wander.
Take dire wolf. Trust me. Your doggo will kill every enemy. Tame chicken. Go back home.
Simply
Easiest tip: bola it knock it out five at least five chitin and you have another pet
Use a ramshackle slingshot to knock it out chiten is standard but can tame it quickly. Ps if you can not find an archa look up in the redwood trees.
I need help I swear these can teleport I don’t know how they get away no matter if my bola hit it it just goes away someone please help me I just want one :(
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.
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.
Go to kapro story section every one
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.
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
Can these be tamed mobile?
If youre doing scorched earth put a tent over it
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.
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
Someone’s said you cannot shoot them on trees on mobile due to being bugged, they must have patched it because I did.
“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.
Only eats chitin, which is good because chitin never spoils
