Everyone says you need an argy trap to knock one out but they aren’t actually that fast in the wild, yesterday i tamed a lvl 120 without a trap but I would recommend having at least 150% movement speed just to be safe.

There are ALOT of argies on Dead Island (aka Carno Island) it’s practically overopulated with them! But be careful, carno island is very dangerous, so you might wanna bring a quetz or something to carry them to a safer area

I have a smith in my arge cool 😎

try to get a pterodactyl or parasaur (easy to tame) then hit one with a bow or Cross bow and fly somewhat near your base and just run backwards while shooting it in the head then boom you have an argentavis👍

I was taming one of these and a pack of hienadons came running at me. So I led them to a stego waited till they were close and punched the stego. The stego hit them and the two started fighting, so I went back to my argent and finished taming it.

If you put a saddle on them it acts like a portable smithy table for items

This big chicken is, besides being KFC’s dream, by far the #1 tame for many maps. You just can’t do without. They have a 50% weight reduction on stone, metal, obsidian, black pearls, polymer and cristal and can carry most gathering dinos like doedicurus and anky.

Not just that, but they have a fairly decent melee damage and good health, so you are way safer on those than on a ptera or tapejara.

The only downside is that they are slower, but when you get used to it it’s not that big of a deal.

You don’t want argy, you NEED argy.

Ok not the best here are some methods of tame and kill

1.come to spawn zone(bring a friend or if you are appolo don't bother)

2.have your buddy aggro the argy and run in circles(no speed levels required)

3.then shoot argy with tranq

4.Build saddle and tame argy with meat or fish or prime or kibble I tame with fish and prime I'm to lazy to make kibble.

5.fly on the wings of hell

(Or if you want to hunt do all steps before 3 and Tous what ever killing weapon you want)

-wings of ark-

Currently you are in the “tip” category of the argentavis, Soo go to the “info” category and scroll all they way down, argentavis has weight reduction for 50% on metal, metal ingots, crystal, organic polymer, polymer, black pearl, etc.

I got one and his name is cart i use him to Carry my ankylosaurus and my ankylosaurus his name is Miner because I use him to mine Metal

Do not get picked ooooffff you dead

If it's a low level its an easy tame. Knocked out and tamed a low level (something like lvl 12) with 3-4 tranq arrows. I used a crossbow.

Such an amazing creature.

Metal, Crystal, Obsidian and even stone weight is reduced by a half in his inventory.

A must have tame for everyone

It's great for taming large dinos, just have a friend carry you with the argue while you tranq dinos below you

Flying messes with Alpha creatures pathfinding and they loose interest as soon as your off the ground, so I used to farm alphas with a mid level argy and got a lot of good loot.

To that one dude who used ancient Amber's to buy soothing balms. Tip for you dude just go for the artifacts and do the save trick to manipulate the reward that the artifact tribute will give you to get 10x soothing balms

easiest tame method: 3 gateframes 2 gates (doesnt matter which material), build them in a about 1m distance (so it cant fit) then choose one gate to be open and one closed, so just place 1 gate, then lure the argy into the 3 gateframes and place the gate at the outer gateframe. tranq it and before its knocked, place a sleeping bag, let it kill you, tranq it dead and you can instantly tame it because it lost all of its food.

your trap should look like this

Legend: i = gateframe

Legend: I=gateframe with gate in it

I i i

before you tame it

IiI when its in

just a crossbow will do i guess. you can do it with a bow but thats Ressource waste

All you have to do is wait for it to have the green cloud around

It then you have to ko it then you can starve tame it

That is how I got mine.

You can use an argentavis to tame anything that it can carry. Just let your tribemate ride an argy and carry for you what you want to tame (Raptor, Gallimaimus, etc), then you shoot it with your KO weapon. This will prevent the creature from attacking you or escaping.

Once you have one knocked out you can use nearby Argents as a source of prime meat for a quick tame
