What are tips for argentavis? Tips and strategies for argentavis in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
NO NEED FOR A TRAP. CROSSBOW AND RUN BACK AND FORWARDS WILL DO JUST FINE
Don't go near an argent early game. Shall it agro onto you at a low level try find a weak dino, kill it, leave the corpse and run the same direction your running. They will be distracted by the corpse.
If you want to quickly tame one use tranq arrows WHILE it’s using that regen aura it eats food extremely quick taking about 10 seconds to tame
Do NOT try and breed these until you have that air conditioner unless you wanna end up in the tundra with 6 campfires and a wall of spikes like me :/
Argentavis is hands down one of the most important tames you or your tribe will need early game. It’s an amazing workhorse tame. They have:
1.) Huge carrying capacity. weigh scales insanely allowing it to carry well over 10k with a balanced build and easily double to triple that if you min-max.
2.) Stamina for days. Easily fly corner to corner in one go as long as they aren’t encumbered.
3.) can lift and carry smaller Dino’s. Anything smaller than a Carno, basically can be lifted by an Argy. Most notably, Anky and Doeds for mining. Allowing for easy solo/duo mining.
4.) Also allows you to transport smaller Dino’s to a safe spot your taming. Especially stuff like snails.
5.) good for combat and harvesting primes early on.
6.) You can use it to solo tame a quetzal.
Biggest drawback to an Argy is it’s slower than other flyers, like Ptera and Wyverns. But, still faster than a Quetz. But for what you get it’s an easy trade off.
I tried to attack giga lvl 127 with my level37 arge with 686 health and fly away but the giga two chomped by arge to death....
1 like _ 1 rip to my Arge lvl 37
Steps on how to tame a argentavis:
1. Build 4-5 stone gate frames place them in a straight line place then distant but not to distant or the Argentavis will fly through the top, build 2 reinforced gates and place one at the end leave the other one in your hot bar.
2. Get the argentavis attention, make him follow you into the trap and place the other gate then run through the side.
3. Use around 50 tranqs just in case you miss
Use a primitive crossbow.
4. There carnivores so they eat meat mutton/prime will work or kibble if you have!
There is a easier way to do this.
Just shoot the bird while he is following you when his torpor starts to get High he will try to fly away so trap might be better whichever way you prefer! -Boycicle
Better have low level argy than no argy at all!!! Even low levels have great stamina, not mentioning that their ability to pick up dinos! Trust me, any argy would make your life easier
Argies do little damage to structures. If you're on the go and find a high lvl one you could use wood gates to trap it in stead of stone. They are lighter and faster to craft on the go.
I would suggest using a long neck with tranq darts to KO as fast as possible.
Easy to tame just let it follow u and hit it with tranq darts.
I keep seeing people saying you need a bunch of stuff, but here’s how I did it as a level 56 single player in only hide armor.
Get a flying mount and find an argy (theyre in the snow and tall mountains) , then get close to one (just out of the Agro zone). If you get too close and it chases you, don’t worry, it won’t chase too far! Now that you’re near it, smack it. Just with anything you have. Charge it and smack it. Now that it’s angry shoot it while moving backwards… it doesn’t do much damage as long as it’s below level 40 (on mobile)… that’s basically it! It’ll tame with raw meat (the ratio of food per level is around 1:2) it’ll only take 10-15 tranq arrows, and you only need one narcotic! That’s all!
I saw this YouTuber make a trap with one foundation, with double doorways placed two high on every side topped with a ceiling. Just make sure before the argy gets in you need to have only six or seven of the doorways placed so the big bird can get in. Once it’s in, place the last doorways and it will be trapped. Hope this is helpful.
Step 1 use a flyer pt or baryonx
Step 2 bring tranq arrows or darts (ascend or mastercraft crossbow is best)
Step 3 make a trap with 3 stone gates and 2 doors
Step 4 shoot it till it’s knocked out
Step 5 give it prime or prime fish meat or (reguler if you don’t have both)
Step 6 bring naracotics just in case
And you have a argy slap a saddle on that boi and done
In REALLY useful when it comes to Rex taming so if you want me to do rex 20 likes pls
Tranq until it needs one or more arrows u can check on Dododex for amount and then feed a body and knock it out automatically drops Argents food insta tame 😁 - LazySolo
1. Craft slingshot/tranq arrows + bow (11)
2. Find argy and lure away from other argys
3. Shoot it until falls
4. Put meat in inventory
5. Also (opt.) bio toxin, narcotics, or narcoberries (bio toxin most efficient) for if it might wake up
6. Name him/her something
7. (Opt.) Get saddle (lvl 63) from engrams or free gift or supply crate
8. Use it to kill your friend
Use it to get dire wolf (or another one, rip Winter) (died to stupid alpha raptor, killed it at the same time)
Go to the waterfall at the left side of the island, just before the snow biome to find them with low threat.
