How to tame an argentavis:

A lot of people like to build traps for this, but I just don’t get why

Materials:

A high level pt or another good health Dino if u have cryopods.

A bow or crossbow. Doing the hunt dilo mission will give u a good bow and I use it instead of crossbow.

40 tranqs is enough for crossbow

Process:

1. Find a high level argy

2. Feed it until full health with corpses

3. Use your tanky Dino to tank while you shoot the argy. If the argy’s about to die lead it to a corpse and it regens insanely fast.

4. Leave prime in its inventory. U do not need narcs but if u tame on normal meat then bring some narcs.

Uses:

Super useful weight reductions on I think metal crystal and other late game high tech stuff.

Carries medium-sized animals such as doedic anky and beaver so u can farm with them.

Has high damage and great stamina.

Looks very cool basically collect on the island.

Enjoy your argy!

Kill an alpha carno which can be found near the volcano and you get a bunch of prime mean, knock out the argy then bam give it all the prime meat and it’s so quick

If theres water nearby you dont need any traps or anything like that. Just keep going in and out of the water because the arge cant hit you if your in the water. (You can only use a crossbow because it can shoot underwater)

Bring a crossbow if not a bow or tek bow and lots of metal arrows if you can’t afford it then a lot of arrows if it doesn’t work out ride something fast or flying

The saddle level should be lower. I am not a very skilled player and I could have been flying with one of these 20 engram levels ago

Definitely must have tame when playing on The Island, get a decent one and you should be good for combat and transport.

Try to tame it. It will help ALOT. Trust me.

Their saddle is a smithy. Let everyone know.

I just tamed up a boyfriend for my female argy and I named him striker all you need to do to tame one is get some tranq arrows and meat you only need nine arrows depending on it's level once it's nocked out just feed it meat and you have an argy up this if it helps.

Real people tame this on the redwood mountain with no trap and just fish meat and tranq arrows.

Before taking, kill off other hostile Dino’s around the area so nothing will bother your tame

Argentavis can no longer be tamed using the starve method in which you activate the regen buff before you knock it out so it drains all of its food. It’s been patched my friends.

Mobile Argy Taming Guide:

Step 1. Go to the top of the volcano and start to make a trap out of either; 3 stone dino gates + 2 reinforced/normal dino doors

Step 2. Get a pteranodon + saddle and find ur argy, attack the argy so that it will follow you (argys have bad following distance to u may need to attack more then once) once its followed tou to top of volcano lead it into you trap, once in close the gates and get a good distance away from it so it dosent attack.

Step 3. Make a tiny box house place a bed or sleeping bag into it and sleep, after u wake up start to tranq the argy, when asleep the argy will have no food in so put ur meat inside the argy and it shouldnt take a while to tame, once done u have ur very own argy!

Extra Tip. If u get a breeding pair breed them at the top of the volcano since it will only require 1-3 torchesto incubate, once fully grown the original female will be ready to mate again!

Is flys! :D

I have to put this here

So it took me forever to figure this out, but picking up raptors and terror birds in its claws then spamming the attack ... both useful AND fun!

It’s really easy to tame these early game even if you can’t ride them yet, I’ve had them as a air defense for a bit, just make a 2x2 or 3x3, bottom walls are actually doorways and top ones are actual walls and don’t forget the roof, leave one wall completely open and have a friend or yourself shoot the argy with a tranq and run in and block off the wall, they’ll damage the walls but won’t break, I’ve done this with a 145 argy

Great creature to have overall. I tamed a level 70 that SHOULD have been a level 110 after the tame, and as it was eating, I left to get more prime meat and when I came back, 2 sabers were attacking it. It lost efficiency and at the end of the tame, it was level 80. I put absolutely no attack nor health(health was around 1300), and I was attacked by a level 5 alpha raptor with 3800 hp. I decided to fight it cause my arge was a low level anyway, and I won! Other things attacked and whatever I killed, i healed from the carcass, so I was healing while fighting it, (I was landed during the while fight) AND, with every attack, it pushed back the raptor, so it barely even hit me. Very good👌🏽

What they don’t tell you is that the head hit box is so small that you’ll end up getting a body shot no matter what so make sure you have more than enough tranqs

A Jack-Of-All-Trades, the argentav(is) a must have 😉. It has a 50% weight reduction on metal, crystal, AND obsidian. With an Amazing weight and melee stat, after a while you can make up for it's snail's-pace by putting the rest of its levels into speed. For a trap, look up "Captain Fatdog Argy Trap" CF is an amazing tutor for dino traps galore! Signed -Mantyll

If you on ark mobile use you ancient amber to buy soothing balms they are the only reason why I have one and it is super worth it
