In Ark Survival Ascended, not all dinosaurs are giant reptilian creatures. Some, like the Archaeopteryx, are much smaller and more avian in shape and size.
The Archaeopteryx is a tricky one to spot, and certainly a hard one to catch.
The Archaeopteryx is very difficult to find in Ark Survival Ascended, trust me. Due to their frightful nature and small size, these bird-like creatures can be found scuttling across the forest floor, or gliding from perch to perch.
In The Island map, currently the only one in Ark Survival Ascended, you’ll find the Archaeopteryx most commonly in the landmass in the middle of the island, surrounded by streams of water.
Look closely at the forest floor and high up at the tree line, as that’s where they’ll be. It took me a long while before I found my first one, so you may have to prepare for quite the bird watching session.

Below is a list of the spawn stats for the Archaeopteryx in Ark Survival Ascended.
Naturally, this tiny thing is rather weak, but it is quick and can glide. Upon being tamed, all stats, aside from Torpidity, will receive an increase, making your Archaeopteryx stronger than the rest, which will sorely be needed.
If you want to tame an Archaeopteryx in Ark Survival Ascended, then you’ll have to have a sharp eye and be very quick. Due to their speed and ability to glide, you may be better off using ranged weapons, as the knockout method is the only way to tame them.
Using either tranquiliser tools, or a slingshot (or club, if you’re lucky), you can increase its torpidity enough to knock it unconscious. Then, you can feed it food and watch the tame meter increase as it digests the food.
Archaeopteryxes eat Chitin and Simple Kibble, so quite a select diet. You’ll only need small food samples to win over the small thing. When it wakes up, it’ll be yours!
I hope this handy Archaeopteryx guide will serve you well, fellow survivor. For more Ark Survival Ascended help, look to PC Invasion.
