What are tips for argentavis? Tips and strategies for argentavis in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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.
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-
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.
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.
Once you have one knocked out you can use nearby Argents as a source of prime meat for a quick tame
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
The Lord of all Birds..has saved me more times than can count. Very noble and magnificent creature and can haul the weight of the world on its wings. To tame just build a bird cage as tall as a stone gate way (not behemoth) and about 4 foundations size. Remember to put a ceiling and the walls should be just door frames not solid walls so you can escape after you lead it into the cage. Then once its in the cage and you escape through the door frame, go around to the front of the cage and close the door. Once trapped it just takes about 30-45 well placed tranq arrows to the head or body and it will be KO'd, even level 150. Get some raw or prime meat to tame it. You may want to leave the area for about 15 -18 minutes and then return once you found enough prime meat to feed it.. since it would be hungry by then and ready to eat. Its torpor drains very slow so dont worry about narcotic.
