They run away fast; bola quickly. Gillie suit. Just got a mating pair gonna see what they do. Quote from Ark Wiki:: "Tamed animals retain their timid nature and lack any sort of attacking ability, even when set on aggressive, and will only eat  Chitin."

And yes they only eat chitin. But very useful as you can use them for gliding. Pretty cute and fun.

Quickly shoot one with darts. They seem only to be in redwood.

Don't use kibble, chitin is much better.

On pc press R on the keyboard to start and stop gliding,it is very useful for leading animals of an edge on scorched and it oftenly found between smaal rocks and hairy trees.Definately an underrated animal I would strongly suggest it.

I have found that they like to get caught under my tree platform. They only fly up after that so you just need to shoot them from below.

To activate glide (on PS4 controller) press Square to start and stop

In multi don’t even try to tame these guys they always glitch away and you always miss

Tip:Go to the Redwoods Build a Tree Plate Thing Step 2.Wait for these to Scrape their Face on the Tree plate Thing Step 3.Punch it until its Knocked out Step 4.Make Sure You Have Chitin On Ya Step 5.Feed it Chitin And Narcotics. Step 6.Use this as a Parachute(or A Pet To Display But I mostly Use this For Tames And Stuff)(these are also Cute)

Fun fast tame. I flew around my base on one and every little bump can send you flying. Be careful if you are on a tame because I was attacking a bronto with my spino and it died.

These are hard for me to tame but here’s the steps:Step 1: Get bola tranqs and chitin

(aka bug drops)Step 2:Find archa they spawn in redwoods near and on trees .Step 3 once tamed can be used as a parachute.Step 4:Enjoy your archaeopteryx!😄

Realy more of a question but how do I get it to attack sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn’t

Sense breeding and taming takes chitin I recommend taking a bary or your preferred cave creature and kill Spiders and Scorpions I got 300 from one trip :)

What I would do is take a tapejara over to the redwood forest, hang onto the trees, and shoot tranq darts from a crossbow.

TESTED: IT WORKS

:3 Have fun gliding everywhere your heart desires!

The reason why they eat chitin is possibly a reference to the real life archaeopteryx.Since chitin is dropped by insects and bugs,The paleontologists who discovered the archa thought it ate insects, therefore having chitin as kibble to the Archeopteryx

Make sure you have loads of chitin before going to the redwood forest because there’s barley any there unless you attack a giant bee hive

The Archeopterx.....ah.....one of the newer additions to Ark. I find them to be a very fast creature(I'd use a Bola to tame them), and a useful one at that.

Worth its time limit for tame. And remember one thing, not that easy to find.

However, It's easier to find in Scorched Earth than the normal one.

usually one or two flying around above the tree tops. use a ptera with full stamina to grab it and fly to a taming building. easy and quick tame using chitin

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

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

He's a duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuiumy
