What are tips for argentavis? Tips and strategies for argentavis in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
When luring into a pen use a pelagornis instead of a pteranodon because they have better health
This is Basicaly a rite of passage tame one of the most nessecary tames for single player
also you can use wood gates for the trap if you need to save materials
Just tamed a lvl 120 Argy! Took me about 4 days (game time) to tame and he is worth every second that I waited. He is very good with transporting animals back in forth and packs a pretty good punch. I highly recommend this animal as a must have tame. He has a really good wait reduction and is great for resource runs. I highly recommend that you don’t try to tame one in the Tundra with clothe armor though; not so fun.
Don’t wast materials on a trap. As long as you have a decent longneck, just shoot it. It will run, but as long as you have a good Rifle, you can take the argy out.
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.
A common trap for Arial creatures in general is that you craft about 4 stone dino gateways, then place them in front of each other (so that it's just a straight row of gateways). The ones on the outside place a little farther away so that you can walk through the sides, then have gates on the outer gatways having one of them open so that the bird can fly in, once you find the bird of choice, kite it into the trap, go through the side space that is larger on the end, and quickly go round to the open gate to close it and now you have easy tame stuck inside your trap. (You can modify this if you want, particularly the size of the gateways for the bigger creatures and it can be used for terrestrial creatures too if you want)
If you are on mobile or the island.
Climb the mountain in the redwood forest
Reccomend a journeyman bow with tranq arrows or something else with high torpor and a long range but a basic bow should work
Stand fairly far away from the argy it should look about as big as a flying pteradon.
Shoot the argy continuously as it flies towards you dodge if it gets too close otherwise keep shooting it until it faints. Very easy and pretty safe if you time it correctly the argy flees before it gets to hit you.
Their kibble is steep kibble in mobile not the normal kibble I saw asked so much time.
Hey don’t bother with traps just get tranquility dart and rifle or bow and tranquility arrows. Great tame. Just remember to keep other tames away or passive.
cool bird for cool people PS: did you know that you can starve tame these almost immediately after knocking it out?
you already know probably but lets still go over it!
set a trap (required)
make it bloody like half HP or low HP
kill ANYTHING than you can drag or kill inside the trap
The argy will start losing hunger rapidly
then any type of meat! since this is a starve tame and it probably wont affect much taming effectiveness, just feed it regular meat!
but i recommend prime meat tho, if its a high level one probably 120-150
For high level argys you will need to build a trap using 3 dinosaur gateways and 2 gates, but for low levels you can just dart them and wait for them to fall.
Using tranq arrows or darts does the job quickly. Try and get it in an open area and shoot it. It'll fly away when it's about to fall asleep. One tranq arrows while it's flying away and it should be knocked out.
Always make sure you know the level of your argy cause I was gonna take a lvl 65 and I lost it and found it and when I knocked it put it was not the level 65 but a level 13 so I ended up taming a different argy

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!
Argentavis is my favorite Mid-Game flyer. I don’t remember exactly how I tamed my argent, but I remember I was at the big rock near brawler’s bay and had a 3x soothing balm. Few days later and my Argentavis was my Hunter, Tank, Attacker, and basically my Main Tame. The only thing stopping it from being my absolute best tame was her low speed and Sub-par weight.
Is there a certain spot an argy would be located? If so plz tell me I'm playing mobile and I want one.
In MOBILE this does NOT fut through the 1 x 2 at all!
Up so peeps can see
