If you tame one far away from your base just cryo it to save time and life force for your flyer.
So these guys are the absolute KINGS when it comes to gathering metal, not only do they gather it in the hundreds from every metal rock, they also make it weigh a sixth of what it normally would when they carry it(45 pounds in a stack of 300) so with a leveled weight and melee damage stat they can gather and carry an ungodly amount of metal for you, oh and you hardly have to worry about them dying to anything short of an alpha or giga, they can have thousands of health and do a fair bit of damage with that club tail
These guys helps me to get more metal and then I can craft more weapons and ingots
They're very easy to find on scorched Earth, and by the way DO NOT use tranq darts or arrows on him. This was my second tame on scorched Earth official with my survivor around about level 25, I was mostly using it as a guard dog until I was getting more carnivore tames.
Head to herbivore island off the south east shore. Try to bring a pulmenoscorpius or beelzebufo for topor attacks. Knocking it out wont be too hard on those mounts but if you don’t have one hop on the cliff above everything and fire away a bow crossbow compound bow or gun. Berries aren’t too hard to find just remember to keep narcotics on you just in case. In the time it takes to tame it you could start making a second base on herbivore island because it has metal infused rocks.

They are incredibly slow and you can easily outrun them even with default movement speed. In fact you can walk backwards and still outrun them, so backtrack and pelt them with your tranq of choice. If scorched earth use boomerangs, when they fall use kibble or Mejo berries. Some narcotics might be required depending on their level.
Very easy tame for any level
For a lvl 20 female i use 5 tranq arrows and a crossbow
tame a argentavis find a ankylo pick it up bring it back to your house were its safe and tranq it out, never tame sum to close to danger cause they usually spawn in the red woods or moubtains... GIGA!!!!
Once knocked out, keeping it down will be the least of your problems if you taming in the wild. I suggest to build a primitive trap with stone foundations and pillars. Get an argy and pick one up with right click. Drop it off in the trap and keep a distance - it will fight back, and it will hurt. Once down in the trap, it will very unlikely to wake up before it will be tamed. Good luck.
