Only tested this on mobile, but if you knock them out when they have the healing buff from eating a corpse, almost all of their food will be gone, making for a quick and easy tame if you know what you’re doing.
a few things about argentavis:
advantages:
1. they are super useful as they have a 50% weight reduction on metal,crystal and obsidian
2. they can pick up medium sized dinos like the parasaur or raptor
3.whenever they eat corpses,they get a rapid regeneration that heals them fast as heck
disadvantages:
1:found in arctic and mountain areas which are both dangerous
2: flys slow
3:their saddle unlocks at lvl 62

Ok, so everybody knows Argies are slow af. You don’t need a trap if you have movementspeed above 134%! (At least I don’t use them) just run away for a time, turn around, shout about 3-4 arrows , repeat!
HOW TO GET IT TAMED FAST! First get soothing balm! You can do this by going into any cave and grabbing the artifact! You don’t have to make it out the cave alive btw! Then tribute so you get rewards but before you do! Save curent game then tribute, so that way you can get easy soothing balm by restoring if you dies t get it! Easy words for this is: get balm by saving game then tribute and restore game until you get balm! You can also just save game in caves to not fight monsters, because when you save they go away! And if you want to be safe then use ur camera to look through the ground and walls withougt having risk! TADA now you can cheEEAt with minimal effort to get rewards and amber if your lucky when you tribute! MAKE THE ARROW POINT TOWARDS SOMETHING ABOVE YOU IF THIS WAS HELPFUL! also you need some raw meat to feed it, and the purple balm. By:Just your fellow helper
Looking to tame one of the best flyers in all of ARK? Well, take some time to look through this tip/ guide! Before we start, let's get ready for the process
DIFFICULTY: 3/10 (Easy)
TAMING MATERIALS:
-Taming Weapons + Ammo (Bows/ Crossbows (Tranq Arrows), Longneck (Tranq Darts/ Shocking Tranq Darts) )
NOTE: You may use slingshots (Rock) if you are lacking taming weapons and ammo.
-Biotoxin/ Narcotics
-Hide Sleeping Bag (For fast taming option on Mobile)
Now you're all ready for taming! Let's go!
For taming an Argentavis, there are a few methods:
METHOD 1: Trapping
As usual, we can trap Argentavises. However, the trap used for the Argentavis is different from traps i have used in past guides. Anyways, here's what you will need!
REQUIREMENTS:
-2-5 Stone Dino Gateways
-2 Dino Gates
Place the Gateways in a straight line. Place 1 gate at the end of the row, and lure your Argentavis into the trap, running out from the gaps left between the gateways. Quickly close off the other side of the trap with your second dino gate. Now that you have trapped the Argentavis, shoot it down and feed it Raw Meat or Prime Meat (Just like the Rex guide I made, you can also go out to hunt for Prime Meat while the Argentavis is taming, but make sure you don't leave it for too long and have it wake up! Feed it your Biotoxin/ Narcotics if you feel that the Argentavis might wake up soon. Wait a little while and tadaa!!! You now own an Argentavis!
METHOD 2: The Cheaper Way
This method is cheap and recommended for lower level players. I also recommend that you do this on Far's Peak (I play on Mobile, but you my try to adapt this to the version you are playing!). Do note that you still need a flyer (I (I recommend the Pteranodon) for this method. Also, there is an exclusive extra optional step for Mobile players like myself! Now let's get you that Argentavis of yours!
Now, get the Argentavis to aggro on you by flying past its face with your mount (Other nearby Argentavises may also aggro on you, so try to get them to de-aggro or kill then while you lure the only one you want!). Lure it up Far's Peak into the crater in the middle (The area with lots of metal and obsidian rocks). Make sure to not stray too far from the Argie or it will de-aggro and fly away. After you have lured it into the crater, fly away on your mount and get it to de-aggro. If you did it right, it should be stuck in the crater. Now, shoot it down. (From my personal experiences, the Argie is unable to fly out of the crater) Feed it some Raw Meat or Prime Meat (You can also hunt for Prime Meat while the Argie is taming). Now, time for the bonus Mobile option!
BONUS STEP (OPTIONAL):
Once the Argentavis de-aggros on you, place down a sleeping bag and sleep. The Argentavis will starve and eat your taming food without any cooldowns, allowing for a quick and easy tame.
Now, congratulate yourself for taming the Argie and enjoy!
Here, I will talk about some features of the Argie (If you're interested).
FEATURES:
Argies are one of the most versatile flyers in ARK. They have decent health, melee, speed and stamina and is one of the most necessary tames along the Rex. The Argie also has lots of bonuses and abilities:
BONUSES:
-50% weight reduction on Ores (Metal, Obsidian, Crystal etc.)
ABILITIES:
-Able to pick up small to medium sized dinos (Eg. Raptors, Dodo)
-Able to rapidly regenerate health while feeding on a dead corpse
To sum it up, Argentavises are one of the most necessary and best mounts on ARK, and is definitely a must tame for any players. Good luck on your journey, and happy taming!
PREVIOUS TIP:
-How to tame a Therizinosaurus
-Your average ARK Mobile player
To tame one easy all you have to do is kill something so the argent Avis can eat, and while it’s healing you must knock it out with tranq arrows or darts. If it is knocked out while healing it’ll starve immediately and it’ll tame in seconds no matter what level!
When taming, ALWAYS put wooden spiked walls, multiplayer or not. I HAD TO TAME AN ARGY 4 TIMES BC IT KEPT DYING😭😭😡😡😡😡😡
These guys despawn when you go to far from it.
