Encountering Tips

How do I kill a microraptor? microraptor battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
I hate these bastards with a burning passion. They have knocked me off my mount so many times in the red woods, get my health down while I’m stunned and then some Carno or terror bird comes over and finishes me off. They will kill you, your family and anything you have ever loved.
I fear these more than a giga and it isn’t a joke. I literally have ptsd from my first encounter.
Be ware!, they are the best kicker of all ARK. Imagine they hit your head with their super tiny leg, and surprisingly, with its power, they can knock u off from your mount and stunt both of you easily. Thats the power of the chiken leg
Oh yeah, dont forget with their massive scream. If you translate it, they say " u expecting an archeo, but its me MICRO!!! ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!"
I’m a lvl 100 with my favourite mount being a lvl 250 wyvern and if I see one on these I run away
I keep confusing these things for archaeopteryx and dimorphs. One will flee in fear and climb onto the trees, one won’t react at all unless you attack them, and one will tackle you off your mount and eat your face.
I’m not even kidding when I say that I thought I saw one of these in the redwoods while riding my thyla, so I immediately attacked and killed it.
“Your thylacoleo(level 82) killed an archaeopteryx!”
I think you know what happened next. I’m really not kidding.

That's a cute little birdie...RKO outta nowhere!!!
Stegosaurus is the natural enemy of the things, as you can’t get knocked off by Micros on a Stego
It literally looks like an archaeopteryx, but it’s evil. It’s also fast, and it wants to kill you. Use strong tames…
I have never actually encountered one, I feel extremely lucky now after reading all of these, holy heck
These are the kind of “chimkins” I would happily hunt to extinction😈
Yes finally!!!!!
Mobile players have these pests
I hope you mobile players feel my pain
Youve got off the hook long enough

Doesn't attack when mounting a Theri, same with terror birds. Chicken family.
I was riding my raptor killing spree and this bastard the micro raptor dismounts me by a giga
DO NOT GO TO VANNALAND NORTH IN FJORDUR SIX ARE WAITING FOR YOU
rip perry, my lvl 206 para ;(
Turn your render distance to low, turn off all shadows to see these guys easier. Seem to share the same spawns as troodon, so redwoods and forests.
I killed thousands of archaeopteryx thinking they were these guys before I learned they are not the same thing and microraptors don’t even spawn on ark mobile
This thing is the literal spawn of hell
They live around the redwoods, make sure to execute every single one you see
Don’t You just love these guys just dismounting you and letting every nearby animal to just kill you for fun. 😐
