Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a argentavis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a argentavis.
I usually bring at least 30 tranq arrows and a crossbow, then I make a trap using 4 dinosaur gateways an two gates, works pretty much every time for me.
When taming be careful when using tranq arrows because you can easily kill the argy. Wait several seconds between shots
Looking for the safest way to tame an Argy in the Redwoods? Here's your guide!
Step 1, grab a Pteranodon and fly over to the Red Peak.
Step 2, set up a little camp and build your trap, I used the 5 stone gateframes and the reinforced gates with a bit of space between each
Step 3, find your Argy
Step 4, lead them to the trap
Step 5, hover at the entrance and wait for them to be right behind you
Step 6, fly in
Step 7, the Argy should be in there, and if you have any other tames, aggro onto your other tames until the gate starts to close
Step 8, close the gate
Step 9, knock it out, or do the starve feeding glitch
Step 10, give it any meat, raw meat gives about 10% per feeding so it's not that bad
Step 11, wait for a bit
Step 12, name your new Argy!
Good luck and use this info how you will! I tamed my two Argies, Kokichi and Shuichi, with this
Happy and safe hunting! ^^

Just shoot tranq arrowns and wait until its unconscious And tame it with a yummy bronto kibbl3 or a delicious meat.(if ur on mobile just have a soothing balm and its tamed faster)
If you build I trap with four Dino gateways and on both sides put door you can trap them as long as you lead them in a close the door behind them. After that search up how many tranqs it’s gonna take to knock it out then do like 3 less then that amount. Afterwards bring a dead body to it and let it eat it. Once it’s done eating it should have a green aura then you knock it out. This makes it so it’s food drains faster.
Easy Trap works with wood best with stone
What you need 1Foundation 1Celing and 8 door frames
1place foundation
2 place door frames around the foundation 2 up 3 around make sure there’s a gap on one side
3 place ceiling
4 Then lead the argentavis in the trap and place doorframes over the hole. Haven’t tested on ASA yet
Ok not the best here are some methods of tame and kill
1.come to spawn zone(bring a friend or if you are appolo don't bother)
2.have your buddy aggro the argy and run in circles(no speed levels required)
3.then shoot argy with tranq
4.Build saddle and tame argy with meat or fish or prime or kibble I tame with fish and prime I'm to lazy to make kibble.
5.fly on the wings of hell
(Or if you want to hunt do all steps before 3 and Tous what ever killing weapon you want)
-wings of ark-
Here’s a recommendation for easy mode players.
1. Find a good argy
2. Shoot near 15 tranq arrows at it
3. Put a stack or two of cooked or raw meat inside
4. Sleep in a sleeping bag and give the argy some narcotics
5. Wait a few more minutes
Congratulate yourself
If you on ark mobile use you ancient amber to buy soothing balms they are the only reason why I have one and it is super worth it
An argentavis can't fit through a ceiling with one tile missing, but a pteranadon or lymantria can. Build a trap with one corner ceiling missing, aggro the argentavis, fly in one side and out the missing ceiling tile, and land. Dismount, run around, and close the entry door. Tame safely at your leisure.
I killed a lvl 50 alpha raptor in under 2 mins
On one of these
They’re amazing
If you want to tame a Argy and you’re at the volcano, then you can lure the Argy that you want to tame to in the volcano and when it lands just shoot it with tranq arrows or something. This is how I tried to tame my first Argy and it succeeded. But! This is in Mobile, the volcano might be different in Xbox or others.
So i was looking for a rex for trex arms for my wall mount then i saw a LEVEL 110 ARGENTAVIS up if i should tame it down to murder it without mercy
To that one dude who used ancient Amber's to buy soothing balms. Tip for you dude just go for the artifacts and do the save trick to manipulate the reward that the artifact tribute will give you to get 10x soothing balms
If an Argy you’re trying to tame is spawned in a dangerous spot (A place where lots of predators also spawn and could possibly kill the creature you’re trying to taming) Set up spiked walk around the area, so predators get killed or hurt when they walk too close to the spiked walk) This usually works for most predators.
Level 45+, if you ever get raided and are wondering what the best dinosaur to start with to help you build up, this is the one.
Here’s how to get an argy fairly early on with a minimalistic trap:
Make a 1x1x2 trap with a (preferably stone, wood might survive but be careful) foundation, 8 doorframes and one hatchframe ceiling. Leave 2 doorframes out as an entrance and lead the argy into the trap. Quickly place the doorframes behind it by running up to the side of the trap and placing them. The argy will now be stuck and probably spin in place. Just stand close enough so it doesn’t do this and slingshot until it gets knocked out.
If you need an argy and don’t have time to tame one with a trap, just go to carno island, kill a Dino in front of an argy and let it harvest its body. When the green health icon shows up on top of it, knock it out with tranq arrows and the argy is instantly yours.
I found one and tamed in near the western plans Beach on the island
Don't forget to build a taming hut / room and lure the bird in. They fly off and don't come back if you start tranqing them in the wild.
