Tame Difficulty

3/10

Just go to mountains with a pteranodon that’s decently strong. Kill a stag or raptor then just wait they will come to scavenge and eat it then a handful of tranq arrows from a bow and it’s knocked out.

It takes a little time to tame so just be prepared to fight off any small carnivore and it’s no problem. Give it meat and it will get hungry and eat it obviously superior kibble or prime meat is preferred but don’t need to complicated anything. Was suprisingly easy don’t need a complicated trap at all. My GF did it 2nd try killed the 1st one by accident

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.

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.

In MOBILE this does NOT fut through the 1 x 2 at all!

Up so peeps can see

I prefer Argy’s over Ptera’s any day. They have more stamina, health, weight, and more melee damage. Even know that Argy’s lack in speed compared to the Pteranodon’s speed the Argy is better than the pteranodon 100%.

Head to carnivore island on other side of the island usually like 5 spawn, beware of raptors sabers carnos rex's and scorpions but yeah other than that good luck

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

Thay spawn more near the mountains

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!

Encounter this in the snow biome. Found these bad boys in west zone 3 I assume, just chillin up north. If you find a pack, run. Run FAST. Make breaks behind a large creature like a bronto or diplo. Head to your base. If it still follows you, get the tranqs and it will run away.

My absolute favorite creature in the whole game. I always get an argy as soon as I’m able. High health and damage, great carrying weight (especially for metal/crystal/etc.), looks regal af, and it gets a regen boost from eating corpses (which can restore its stamina in mid air, I’m not kidding, I’ve had it happen). Can carry a good few bigger dinos, too.

My argy is named Bloodwing and I love her to death. Highly recommend.

Easy trap to tame an argy!

Make four wooden gate frames and two gates. Place them, one in front of the other and make sure the gaps between them aren't big enough for the argy to escape. Put a gate on the first and last doorframe. Close the last door and leave the entrance open. Aggro the argy and lead it in the trap, once its inside close the gate. You can exit the trap from the gaps between the gate frames.

Then you can just knock it out!

Warning: don't leave the argentavis in the trap for too long without knocking it out because it can break wood

EZ tame just get tranq darts then knock it out feed it raw meat or raw prime meat and done you have argentavis

Pretty easy but a little hard way on how to get an argy:

1. Get 12 stone doorframes, two stone foundations, two stone ceilings, tranqs, bio toxin or narcos, and taming weapon (preferably crossbow or long neck)

2. Place down two stone foundations (1x2) and place stone doorframes (two high) but leave one short side open, place two roofs to block top, and a ramp that leads into it if it makes it easier for you

3. Find the argy of choice and get its attention, run up the ramp (or jump into it) and make sure the argy follows into it, run to the back and place the last two stone doorframes and it should stay

4. Shoot it up through the holes, once its knocked, feed it its preferred food (kibble, prime meat, regular meat, etc) or starve it (dododex has starve timer and narcos needed)

5. Enjoy the argy

Tbh with y’all, Argies are really cute and very easy to tame. All u have to do is knock it out using tranq darts (or tranq arrows) about 3-5 and then when they r unconscious js get sum meat and put it in him or her and it won’t take very long. And same with breeding, js get a female and a male Argie, set them both to wander, and when they r finished doing whatever they have to do, watch ur egg hatch! WARNING ⚠️: The egg can die if it gets too hot, so watch out for that and u’ll be fine. I’ve bred many and have 4 baby argies and 7 or 8 adult ones! Good luck taming and breeding 👍

Scrolled for a bit and didn’t see this but if you want to tame these amazing flyers wait for them to enter rapid regen (eat a corpse) from there tranq it out and if it’s still in rapid regen when unconscious it will eat food and tame incredibly fast (under a minute for most)

Argentavis

Temper: Distractive to Aggressive

Animal Temper: Docile (Passive, but if an animal attacks it, Aggressive.)

Info:

Argentavis has the second largest wingspan. Only few flying creatures rival it. Argentavis was a carrion-eater, meaning that it was a giant vulture crossed with a eagle and eats corpses with delight. It can be known for it’s massive wings and eagle like body. Argentavis can regenerate lots of health when eating a corpse, and has lots of weight. Lots of weight meant that it could carrie a lot of creatures.

Taming:

Recommended Knockout Choice: Tranquilizer Darts

Recommended Food: Raw Prime Meat

Recommended Narcotic: Narcotics

Traps: 4 Wooden or Stone Dinosaur Gateways and 2 Dinosaur Gateways. Make a gap between the gateways that are large enough for a human but not an Argentavis. Place 2 Dinosaur Gateways on the sides of the trap.

Knockout:

Find an Argentavis, usually with a flyer. Then, kill off any other Argentavis that you don’t want or any other carnivore that could interfere with the taming. After, get the Argentavis’ attention. Land your flyer at a distance between the Argentavis. Then, start shooting it with your knockout method. Really, it only takes a few Tranq Darts to knock it out. Now, feed it with your choice of food. It takes time, but it’s worth it.

Or,

Lure the Argentavis into the trap, then close the gateways. Knock it out, then feed it.

Recommended: Minor Soothing Balm, Narcotic, Flyer.

A good level one is basically a sky Rex.

Since an argy doesn't do that much dmg I lured the argy all the way back to my base from redwood mountain then I just tranqed it and saved my save file and went to get some narcs.

My argie named John flap Kennedy could take down a Rex then a griffin came and both of us note to self griffins are stronger than rexes R.I.P John flap Kennedy.
