What is a archaeopteryx used for? archaeopteryx battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
I thought this was a funny useless tame until I got one on scorched earth. It is so fun and cool gliding over rexes and jumping off cliffs while being chased by baddies. My dear little Archie has saved me through and through.
You need a running start to gain momentum and speed while gliding, and the (X) button on xbox will start/stop gliding mid air. (Dunno the control for other platforms)
The Archaeopteryx is a tree-dwelling bird-like dinosaur. While its smaller frame make it unfit for riding, it is strong enough to carry humans, allowing them to glide across long distances. Taming an Archaeopteryx is no simple task, as it will immediately flee when approached, and once knocked out, it prefers to eat rare insect matter.~Steel Cookie 123
In mobile version they don't use stamina while gliding and can glide the player regardless of his weight for example my archaeopteryx has 33kg weight while I had 300kg iron on me , glided just fine from redwood hill to all the way to herbivore island(my base) without any issue... Well there was a problem thou that archaeopteryx would not land as it never ran out of stamina so I had to whistle my Tapejara and get on it to land. This is possibly a bug so use it while u can ;) happy infinite gliding.
P.S. I was not in godmode or infinite stats.
