Short Taming Guide:

1) Go to East beach by giga mountain (North 1 / East 3).

2) Set up the argy trap on the beach (4 stone gateways with one gate at each end).

3) Place down some beds for back up.

4) This area often has argys flying around on the beach, so if you see one shoot it with an arrow and lure it into trap.

5) Tranq it using body shots mainly.

Please note this is a guide for those who lack a flyer or tame which can get them to more dangerous argys spawn zones.

I feel like dodo needs to add another KO factor for X creatures now the genesis is out cuz they take way more darts than a normal argy

The way I got my Argentavis was by / walking away from it not too far and not too close\ and when it isn’t over the water I shoot tranquilizers at it with a long neck rifle and try too shoot it at the head or anywhere in the head. I prefer armor just in case it does attack

They can almost carry every creature in ark get your friends and dominate the server 👆if this is helpful thx.

Here's one of the best tricks in ARK MOBILE : If you sleep (with a bed or a sleeping bag), ALL the dinos in your render food bar will be set to 0 (when you make them unconscious, you can see that). After the taming process, the food bar will return to full again (no matter how much taming food you gave the dino). Thanks for reading

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 :/

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 do not have a quetzal than this is the best bird for metal runs.

They actually are at the eastern COASTS of Crystal isles. You dont have to go into the snow biom!

For beginner players the easiest way to tame one is to find a lower level around 10-15 lead it away with another flying animal most likely a pteranodon and shoot it with a cross bow and Tranq dart takes around 5 once it’s knocked out place prime meat and soothing balm it takes less than 10 minutes.

I don't know why but a lot of people use 5 gateways. It can get trapped in just 3

These guys can pick up large juvenile dinos. I accidently picked a baby carno from a crowd of raptors while doing supply drop runs

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

My all time most used tame.

Easy to tame just let it follow u and hit it with tranq darts.

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

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.

Here is how to tame an argie from a very scared cat player:

Get 3-4 gate ways and put enough distance between them for you to get through but not an argie line them up so it looks like this from a side view |||| next grab 2 gates and put them on both ends of the trap meaning the two on the very outside keep one closed and one open.

To trap: aggro the argie and lead it in the trap then close the open door then escape through the gaps between the gates.

Knockout: use tranq darts or arrows to knock out pay attention to the argies health using a magnifying glass is helpful so you don't kill the argie

Taming: argie is a carnivore so use any type of meat best to use mutton or prime meat or kibble if you have any but normal meat will work.

Uses: carrying medium creatures useful for metal gathering during to high weight

There are many of these traps on YouTube if still confused most YouTube vids of ark will use this trap or others.

NO NEED FOR A TRAP. CROSSBOW AND RUN BACK AND FORWARDS WILL DO JUST FINE

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!
