Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a microraptor? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a microraptor.
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.
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
While yes they are super ennoying, they are sooooo cute as tames
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
One rare flower and they're yours no matter what!
All you have to do is sneak up and bola it , then hit it with tranq darts or arrows , then you have your very own chicken , good for pvp , not very useful in pve , for easy tame feed it rare flowers
Simple kibble works also as a taming method
A tranq dart will knock a microraptor In 1 hit and won't kill it, I recommend a ghillie suit to tame one of theese
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
Use a bolo on them, makes them infinitely more manageable. I always carry at least 5 bolos
If you are attempting to tame one or one is running up on you(pending no preditors are around) dismount as they fly around you, they will not stun and you can throw a quick bola. They are pretty weak downed a 174 with 2 darts from a 161% rifle using this technique. Great in pvp to terrorize people, I personally use them for kibble and they are just neat shoulder mounts.
Wide card plz add them to ark mobile I really want to see them in game and the only device I have is iPad so o can only do ark mobile
Bola one and use trans dart to knock out. Only took 1 rare flower for a level 145
Use a Mastercraft crossbow, and have someone stand watch while you tame, oh and have your melee set to 200 or higher
They don’t spawn in mobile. Surprisingly. Don’t waste your time finding these guys in mobile!!!
They only stun you if your on a mount, to tame go on foot.
I hear on standard servers it only takes 1 rare flower to tame a 150. I can confirm it does at 2.5 (5x old rates) rates at least. Also they look almost identical to Archas almost, especially at a distance or while mounted.
Don't agro as it's nimble on foot. Tranc dart and rare flowers will make this prehistoric turkey yours rather quick.
