Encountering Tips

How do I kill a microraptor? microraptor battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
If you want to tame one, they have to be in a house of some sort. The reasons why are:
1: they fly
2: if they stun you, something like a terror bird doesn’t come and kill you
Also, you might want a two layer roof, so you can go in between them and have the roof/floor have trapdoors so you can open it, shoot the mini raptor, and close it if it jumps at you. I did this with a Trike and it worked.
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.
Don’t You just love these guys just dismounting you and letting every nearby animal to just kill you for fun. 😐
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!"
These are the kind of “chimkins” I would happily hunt to extinction😈
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.
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
I killed one as it flew right in front of my griffin. Happiest day of my life
I was riding my raptor killing spree and this bastard the micro raptor dismounts me by a giga
One of these rushed me and I paniced and threw a bola at it. It hit him and I started killing him in cold blood when he fell asleep cuz I had been using tranq arrows. Tamed him up but still so mad
I have never actually encountered one, I feel extremely lucky now after reading all of these, holy heck
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
Let's just say I'm grateful for parachutes
I was riding my terror bird hunting for dire bears and somthing knocks me off it turns out I died to a gigapithacous that was near me
Doesn't attack when mounting a Theri, same with terror birds. Chicken family.
Wish they are gone for good bec I got knocked off 59 times
Run if u see one they have a knockout ability so always bring strong dinos in an area that they spawn at
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.
