What are tips for argentavis? Tips and strategies for argentavis in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
These are meant to be the greatest mining burden buddies you can get. They have reduction of weight for obsidian(for polymers), crystal, and metal(a very important mid-late game resource. They are also able to super heal when they eat corpses, making them less likely to die and more likely to carry more back and forth.
I just use 38 stone pillars ,9 stone ceilings ,stone Dino gateway and gate ,crossbow trank arrows and it is lvl 209
I like to use a pt to tame these, if you use a pt you only need 1 stone foundation 3 stone walls a stone ramp and a stone door the pt will fly right through it as the argy is chasing you through it, it will get stuck on the double doorway wall which you want on the front and sides and before the argy flies out open the door on the side and boom its stuck. I typically make two of these traps to get a high level male and female then make air conditioners to start breeding only keeping the females until I have 1 male 7 females then pair that with the oviraptor and set them on mating to get eggs for superior kibble
Do not go to a corner I learned that the hard way
I've been holding off taming one of these cause I had problems when I tried on console a few years ago and when I did on mobile it blew my mind, they can carry so much metal and stuff I had no idea they had a reduction, I could have saved so much time if I tamed a few of these sooner.
Taming these Guys are easy, they are very slow, I tamed one by just waking around in a circle and firing tranq darts, you could also sit on top of a Turtle or stego and have then tank the hits while you fire darts at the argentavis
to the person wuo is stuck at a volcano and does not know bout the argy being bolable the ans is no. also if u want to know what dino is bolable open dododex and search in capabilities
I don’t know if people know this but you don’t really need stone gateways you can use wood the highest level I used wood for was 180
Best way to tame these
Build a Taming Raft Dino Door+Cage with Windows to shoot through
Tame a pteranodon
Look for some low level Argis to kill for Prime meat
Only try and tame level 130 and above
Lure the Argi to the boat by letting it hit you ever 15 seconds or so
Trap it in the cage
Shoot it with a crossbow (narc arrows)
Feed it the prime
Bing bang boom there ya go
After that just fly around to exporters notes to get leveled fast and take down some brontos.
If you find one and you have a quetz with a platform saddle, Put the quetz on passive and start shooting the argie. At some point it will fly off and if it is high enough fly below it and shoot it 1-2 times and try to catch it if done right you can takes your tame anywhere!
A good spot for Argys on lost island are usually 44 35 hop this helps
Having one can cause someone to have more courage and confidence as they pick up raptors and baryonyx and kill them in midair! Their stamina makes them great for hunting large dinos, as an argy can retreat with ease when an enemy is too hard to handle. You can pick up medium sized gatherers to make gathering safe and more efficient.
Can easily kill rexes if you level up the attack! :D
You have to get a pterodon to tame this creature. Once you do for a high level you will need a trap and for a low level you can just run around and shoot it with your crossbow. For the trap you need at least four regular stone Dino gates and two doors. Then you just place them in a line facing eachother and place a door on either end of the line. Then leave one door closed and lead your argy in though one door and run out of there and close the other door behind your fast. They also have very low torpor so you can knock them out fairly quick.
They can decimate you if you are low level and they are easy to kill on another argy
