Encountering Tips
How do I kill a microraptor? microraptor battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
They seem to only do their stun attack on mounted players. If you hear/see one coming towards you, dismount immediately. Theyll fly around you a bunch but wont stun you.
After reading these tips, im actually pretty lucky :D ive never had much problems with these guys, usually im riding my argi near the ground, looking for something to tame when these knock me off my mount. I dont actually get mad at them, i just whistle for my argi to be on neutral and my argi kills them. They never stun my argi. I actually look for them sometimes because theyre super cute and i want one (i dont have one yet). But then, the "Omg its so cute thing" also goes with terror birds and carnos for me, which my sister despises and she'll never forgive me for loving the "ugly" things.
WHOS GREAT IDEA WAS TO ADD THIS TO THE GAME!? THIS STUPID LITTLE HALF A BIRD, THOSE SEAGULL ANKLEBITER THEIFS, AND THOSE DAMN PEGOS ARE THE LITERAL DEFINITION OF ANNOYING
These creatures can prevent you from moving
Always have your animals on neutral so if you encounter one they will attack them
These are so annoying they knock you off your tame and stun you and kill you they deserve to be burned in a fire staved for infinitely
Normally for me to avoid altercations with these guys or things that surprise attack I take 2 pts with me that are pumped with health and melee
Officially my least favorite tame in ark I had a daeodon in scorched earth and was just strolling around then like 10 of these guys swarm us we killed a few but I died and by the time I got back he was dead but yet they left my jerboa
Funfact:this is the faster dino in the ark and most anoying
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 can never go into redwoods without one of these mf pouncing on me then a carno raptor or a terror bird finishing me off
Oh there is no way I could object to a bird so small it’s hard to see knocking me off my new argy the second I initiate battle with an alpha carno
There are 3 steps to evading these guys
1. Pray
2. Keep Running
3. Don’t look back
Bruh can't even see them coming their too small
Honestly I’d rather deal with a giga, wyvern, or literally anything besides these guys.
Can be found on Scortched Earth in the same area as Archeopterix. Wood areas all along red and blue oblelisk
Ueyruheuuuuue
If you see or hear them,dismount whatever you are riding,then bola and kill it
My tribe mate got stunned by one these while he was peacefully getting ripped to shreds by 1 thyacoleo, a swarm of bugs and a pack of terror birds. Guess which one caused his death? The microraptor because it stung him and he couldn't fight back.
Alright, if you even think you see an Arch, run. It’s probably a micro, which you definitely need to RUN FOR YOU AND YOUR TAME(s) LIFE!
