Use these to complete the ‘Thin Air’ pursuit! They don’t count as a mount and will work as a parachute. Get to the start of the volcano path (you can use a flier to do that, as long as it’s before you start the pursuit) first then climb up the volcano while holding an archaeopteryx. Keep a bodyguard around or drop your archaeopteryx somewhere flat while you quickly fight off the danger. The pursuit is made easy.
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
