If u r a ok tribe just have something with about 2.5k health (depending on the lvl or the argy) sit is a area then let the argy attack it while shooting it this is your best bet if u dont have a cage. I did this with a 150 argen.

Always make sure you know the level of your argy cause I was gonna take a lvl 65 and I lost it and found it and when I knocked it put it was not the level 65 but a level 13 so I ended up taming a different argy

ON MOBILE: They can't carry dimetrodon

Just shoot tranq arrowns and wait until its unconscious And tame it with a yummy bronto kibbl3 or a delicious meat.(if ur on mobile just have a soothing balm and its tamed faster)

First step have 50 tranq darts and long neck. If taming RG level 20 through 50. Step 2 make sure the area is safe with no Baddies. Have soothing bomb. Step 3 have five prime meat. Make a saddle and ride.

Enjoy your RG quick tip they have 50% reduction to metal Stone and obsidian. Please up if helpful.

These giant birds are AMAZING. If you don’t have one, get one NOW. They can carry tons of metal, and if you have a decent one they can carry a lot of metal. and they aren’t very hard to tame either! I recommend taming them with a trap though.

If you want to tame a Argy and you’re at the volcano, then you can lure the Argy that you want to tame to in the volcano and when it lands just shoot it with tranq arrows or something. This is how I tried to tame my first Argy and it succeeded. But! This is in Mobile, the volcano might be different in Xbox or others.

Argies are REALLY good midgame and somewhat end game every meduim size dino u need to tame can be picked up and knoked out with a friend and it is also a great material dino that helps do quick material runs

Best method in my opinion:

Get a flyer such a pterodon but a tappy would be better.

Get a decent crossbow or a primitive longneck. Shoot with tranqs and feed food if your choice

MOBILE Argy trap (also works for ROYAL griffin, tested on both):

Takes 4 stone gate frames, one reinforced gate, and 3 stone pillars. Pick a spot that is flat and also away from any predators, including compy and dilo. Face going the same way you plan to fly them in, so that gate opens in. Place first frame then slowly walk forward until the frame isn't snapping at weird angles and place it, this gets the spacing right. After placing 4th frame, put pillar right in the middle of it, then stack the other 2. Now walk backwards until you can place the gate in the first frame, I place a torch out front a ways to locate more easily. You now have a perfect Argy trap.

Using pteranodon, agro the Argy then lead in low and slow, opening the gate when you reach it. Pteranodon can slip right through but Argy cannot. Land and hop off, while Argy stays agro on your mount, run back and close the gate.

For taming, shoot with tranqs to partially torpor, sleep, then KO, balm, and rapid tame with raw prime meat (stego is my goto).

-Good Luck

Every one says you need the Dino doors, You DONT it’s SO easy al you have to do is kill something Agro the Argie the lead it to the body let it eat the body then tranq the fart out of it and then feed it meat no Prime required! Then you have an Argentavis and they are super helpful they can carry dinos and fly long distance and they do good damage I HIGHLY recommend getting one, unless you plan on breeding however then get a male and female and the put on wander. Sorry this was so long I hope I helped y’all!

Here's a budget way of taming an Argy: You'll be needing 4 stone pillars, 3 stone roofs, 3 stone fence foundations and 3 stone doorframes.

To make the trap, first start by placing a pillar, then snap another next to it, after that, place 1 pillar each. Secondly, place 1 fence foundation at both sides, this should make it have a square-type shape. Next, place the last fence foundation at the middle-end at the side of the fence foundations. This will be where you lure the Argy in. Then, place the 2 doorframes at the 2 fence foundations at the side. After that, place 3 roofs in a L-shape facing outwards covering the trap ceiling.

Lure the desired Argy into the trap and place the last doorframe.

-Sincerly, a fellow survivor

When luring into a pen the pelagornis is better than the pteranodon because it can fly longer and it's slightly slower speed helps prevent the argy from losing aggro. It may be a good idea to keep a carbonemys or something in the trap to keep the argent occupied while you close the gate.

To the newest persons post, what health/melee Argentavis did you use

Often finds the in top of mountains..

To trap team do three or four dinosaur gates in a row close to each other and at the end to place the doors to the gates

Use this to carry an anky to metal mountain then you have a metal making machine

Run around in circles while shooting cause they can't turn in a 360 degree circle easily

Fun fact: If you have an ascendant 305.4dmg crossbow it take four tranq arrows for a lvl 140

You all really complaining about the argy speed, wanting thrusters on the d*mn thing. Literally it is one of the most OP dinosaurs in the whole game!
