I once stole an egg and took it to a forest. Unfortunately that forest was raptor territory and I kept getting killed

An Argentavis is a very easy beginner tame. To tame it you will have to have:

-crossbow or bow

-at least 10 tranq arrows

-3+ raw fish meat (prime works better)

-20+ lvls

-health upgraded at least 7 times

Argentavis spawn on almost all ARK maps, and are very common, so it should be relatively easy to find one. They look like bulky eagles that prowl around on the ground or, more commonly, swoop around in the sky. Here’s what you need to do to tame one.

1: Find an Argentavis

2: Load the tranq arrows into your bow (if you haven’t already done it

3: Take aim at the Argentavis and fire

Here’s a tip. If you find one and it’s scavenging, that is the best possible time to shoot at it. Do not shoot at it while it is fighting other dinosaurs, because if you do and knock it unconscious, the other dino/s will demolish it. It is best to catch it alone while it is eating, because there is a chance it will not chase you.

4: Run as the Argentavis chases you (if it doesn’t, shoot again)

5: When it stops chasing you, go back and shoot at it again

6: Repeat until unconscious

7: Put fish in Argentavis inventory

8: Wait until tamed

9: You have an Argentavis!

IRL Dino Facts

Argentavis Magnificens, an extinct species, was one of the largest birds to ever live. They lived in the Late Miocene in early Argentina and had an enormous wingspan of 5.09 to 6.5m. Argentavis lived off a diet of carrion (dead animals) and their territories might have been around 500 square metres. Another extinct bird, Pelagornis Sandersi, had a wider wingspan that Argentavis, and their wingspan would have measured about 7 to 7.4m. Argentavis was a soaring bird. Its lifestyle would have been very much like the Andean Condor, a modern-day non-extinct type of condor. Argentavis might have used mountain slopes to take off, because the muscles in its chest were not built for much flapping. Argentavis laid 1 to 2 eggs every year, each one smaller than an ostrich egg despite their size. The young became independent at 16 months old, but they were not full grown until they turned 12. Because of its size, Argentavis would have had no natural predators, so most died of sickness or old age. Size estimates are:

Wingspan: 5.09-6.5 m (16 ft 8 in - 21 ft 4 in)

Length: 3.5 m (11 ft 6 in)

Height: 1.5-1.8 m (4 ft 11 in - 5 ft 11 in)

Weight: 70-72 kg (154 lb - 159 lb)

Shoot the agry with narco arrows, then when it trys to fly away put a dead body or animal and let it eat it. Then nock it out if u do this the taming will go by faster and your arggy will be a better level too! I hope this helped! :)

The jumpscarer when you hunt down a creature for meat.

I thought ark was a survival game?

I accidentally found out that you can carry a Dilo with its beak!

You can find this in the top left of the map they are easy to find there

Argentavis, a must have mid-game tame. Tamed easily with a Pteranodon this way:

Agro it with your Pteranodon (You CAN use a low level ptera but I recommend at least a level 50) get away from it dismount your Pteranodon shoot it and get away with your Pteranodon, repeat until the Argentavis starts geting away from you or you knock it out. When it starts geting away just follow it and knock it out. You can ise crossbows for lower levels but for higher levels you should use a longneck rofle with tranq darts of course. For low levels raw meat is enough, but for higher levels you still can use raw meat instead of raw prime meat but you will need more narcotics and you will need more time and it will have less levels. For accurate amount of narcotics and food you need use this awesome app of course. Hope this helped anyone tame this must have giant vulture.

Spawn on volcano near the snoe biome on the island. Bring a friend to trank and tapejara with saddle. Have friend use front passenger seat and face the argy and back up while they tranq, then feed meat.

To insta tame a argy first you gotta die and respawn then give it just enough torpor but it's still not asleep then drag your body and let it eat the body then knock it out its hunger will go down instantly so it will any type of food then you have an argy

Who thinks there should be a creature that has a Tek replicator saddle but it’s more expensive

They can normally carry two creatures, one in the beak and one in talons. Or technically 5 because one in beak, player in talons, creature held by player in talons, rider, and creature held by rider.

Me in Gen2 when im jetpacking and see this:

HIGHER HIGHER HIGHER

The Argentavis is amazing for resource runs. The weight of Stone, Metal, Crystal, and Obsidian is halved. Also it works as a mobile smithy, meaning you can repair your metal tools on the go. They also have much higher Carry Weight than a Pteranadon and most of the time more Stamina and Melee Damage, so they can hold their own pretty well. They also have a crazy Health Regen buff when consuming corpses. Can also use it to transport bigger dinos. Their pretty slow though compared to most other flyers.

I’ve had almost 5 argys … they keep getting murdered. I love these guys because their saddle has a smithy in it!

Once I was getting metal and stuff but then I got thirsty in the game I looked everywhere but I couldn't find water. Then I passed out I saw my Argy then it just glitched and teleported away. Sence then I couldn't find him. Then I found a fish I tamed and it said following silver stone.Pray for silver stone.

How to tame an argy. What you'll need: narcotics, biotoxen, or narcoberry, fur armor (for if your tameing in tundra), tranq darts (or arrows for bow), long neck rifle,

Sanguine elixir (optional), (if you want argy saddle), dino gates and gateframes (optional). Argy locations: carnivore island 🏝, the red peak, the volcano 🌋, like anywhere in the tundra, I think on Griffin Mt /fars peak,To tame argy: first craft long neck rifle or bow (not unless you have one already), next craft narcos for crafting tranq arrows and /or darts, next craft amount of tranq darts or arrows according to dododex, next craft dino gates and gate frames (optinal) ,then craft fur armor (for those who are tameing in tundra), if you ran out of narcos for keeping argy asleep 😴 then craft more, now your ready to tame your argy , first go to one of the locations i listed and find argy then build pen (optional)with dino gateframes in a line then place gates at both ends then open a gate (make sure that there is a gap between each gate so you can get in and out but argy can't) aggro argy and run into pen then the argy will be inside pen then close the door the argy cant escape then use darts (or arrows ) to knock out argy, once knocked out then give raw (or prime) meat to tame and feed the narcotics,biotoxen,or narcoberries regularly (id perfer biotoxen though)then just WAIT ✋️ ✋️✋️✋️✋️✋️✋️✋️✋️✋️✋️✋️ and eventually you'll get a argy. To tame without pen: just knockout with darts or arrow and give meat 🍖 and narcos regularly JUST WAITTTTTTTTTT✋️✋️✋️✋️✋️✋️✋️✋️✋️✋️✋️✋️✋️

PS.This took me FOREVER to type so hope this helps you😀.

For instant tame just let it harvest a creature when it nearly falls asleep. Then knock it out, I tamed my first one of the server I am playing in, it took me a while ngl. But it was worth it since it exceeded the max level.

I use in pair with anky... Invest into weight for the argy and melee in anky (anky already has a busted reduced carry wait). Get over (at least) 1k weight in argy to carry the anky to metal nodes. You just need to drop them on the nodes ride them destroy node drop any stone/flint gathered and repeat. No moving on the anky required. Leave when 80% of argy weight is full for fast flight back to base with large collection. I got ~3300 metal with this (boosted rates/ single player)

You can find these in the snow place

Would recommend use with a anky and go long distances to find metal if the metal veins near you are not respawning
