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.

Argentavis podem ser encontradas em locais altos, na verdade ficam em montanhas, onde tem montanha tem Argentavis, é mais fáceis as encontrar no gelo, são bem abundantes lá. Extra: no gelo também é mais fácil encontrar os T-Rex junto das Argentavis

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.

If you have one of these get a raft, build a taming pen on top and a space for landing and you have yourself a good portable taming base for anything it can pick up. I've tamed loads with this. It's easier than flying all the way to base or making several taming pens at different locations.

Their saddle has a built in smithy in it

The Argentavis has weight reduction for metal and stone only. Although! No one mentioned that it's a mobile smithy! Just pop in your broken metal hatchet and viola! You have now moved on to a higher plane on ark;)

This is for the guy up top with his how to tame guide. (No, I’m not trying to diss you.) You don’t actually need a stone gate. You can just use wooden ones, so long as you don’t leave him in there. Also, you only need three. That’s pretty much all, sport if I came off as kind of a jerk, but I don’t want people to waste their supplies. Good luck!

Killed an Alfa rex with a level 415, risky move but did the job! The rapid regeneration is super helpful.

-Venatrix.

For ark mobile: traps are not required for low levelled argies, just keep a friend or two with you and tranq it when it's attacking you, using toxicant arrows is better, it will go down in just 4-5 toxicant arrows.

They double as a smith( yes you can craft stuff with the BIRD!!)

Catch them in an argentavis trap. Get a magnifying glass. Shoot them with narc arrows until it is just about to go unconscious (Use the magnifying glass to inspect the torpor) feed the argentavis a body. Imediately after it consumes the body shoot it with narc arrows to finish knocking it out (*if it does not have the green effect around it's head do not knock it out! If the effect is gone feed it another body) Purpose when the argentavis gets knocked out with the effect his hunger will already by very low. Super fast taming!

I found mine stuck in a rock so I shot it with tranqs with a crossbow in the head then broke the rock..so yeah

Pra domar um Argentaves rápido, existe um bag. Você o prende na trepe e atira flecha narcótica nele até ele começar a fugir, quando ele fugir você pega uma carcaça de algum dinossauro e coloca pra ele, quando ele for comer você deita ele, e coloca comida no inventário dele que ele vai domar quase instantâneamente.

op for picking up so many things a big power player for taming

Probably the best thing when starting out in order to grind metal. Arges have high carry weight meaning you get the biggest bang for you buck when flying to a mountain and back.

This fearsome predator can easily rip you to shreds, assuming you don’t just causally stroll underneath it as it tries to dramatically swoop down and murder you. You can get it awkwardly flapping in circles by doing this.

They are a absolute pain to take if your getting a high level one but it is worth it. A level 200 argie can easily take on a Rex
