Many confuse these with the archaeopteryx. The micro raptors have singular head crests, whereas the archaeopteryx only have head feathers. The micro also has a flat cluster of feathers on the end of its tail, archaes have feathers along each side instead of at the end.
Get off of your tame with a bola ready, and once it runs at you, bola it and knock it out. One rare flower will tame nearly any level with no narcotics, but anything else will require some maintenance
More Microraptor Taming & KO Tips
We all hate this annoying pest, but here’s a guide to tame one for those of you who want to
1. Microraptors will knock you off your mount, and that’s the easiest way to tame them, so before attempting kill everything aggressive to a player, because they could kill you
2. The best way to tame this is by standing still and letting it pounce you off your mount. After doing so, it should aggro on you or your mount, instead of running around at Mach 5, so it will be easier to hit. I recommend bringing armor, so you won’t take much damage.
3. Shoot it with tranq arrows or tranq darts, it shouldn’t take very many, so bring 10ish tranq arrows, or 5ish tranq darts. They are slow once they have pounced you, so you don’t need to trap it because you can outrun it
4. If you have access to kibble or mutton they are great to use, if not, use prime, you may lose a few levels though it’s torpor doesn’t drop very fast, so bring a few berries or narcs and you should be good. It’s a pretty quick tame so I recommend just waiting near it for it to tame
Happy taming!
P.S. I am making an in depth taming guide for every creature in ark, so please check out my other tips, which all follow this format and end in Happy taming! If any are helpful please raise them to the sky so they can help others. Thanks!
This little birdie will knock you off your mount. He is a must tame for pvp servers
A single rare flower will tame up to a level 150. They are incredibly fast, use tranquilizer darts or shock darts. Beware the stun and ability to knock you off your mount.
You can trap them in wooden cages apparentally ive got a super angry little dude held captive right now. Kinda scared lol
Baby micro raptors eat raw meat to maturation!
Insanely good at knocking people off of tames.Also just Bola it and knock it out.
These romanticraptors get jealous and rip you off another tame but you can win them over with a nice flower
One rare flower and they're yours no matter what!
These little guys normally see you before you spot them. But go into an area with a good horse and when they start to circle you to try and knock you....start kicking! I actually Ko'd one at random and tamed her up. Actually a beautiful baby I named Fifi, a suitable name for an ankle-biter! XD
