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

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.

They are good flyers and they have a good weight state

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.

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

(Mobile) I just got one of these at like lvl 45, here’s how I did it!

I used a ptera to aggro it by attacking, and then I simply lured it to a safe location, where I tranqed it out. Seriously, this method is almost too easy. All you need to do is peck at the argy if it loses interest, and you can take it anywhere! I only had the willpower to lure into a relatively safe patch of grass near the redwoods, but with enough skill you could probably do more than that.

I feel like you should have the option to dive with flyers, which didn’t use stam and was more r less the same speed of gravity, without the dying part.

Considering its weight reductions, great resource transport with the perk of flying.

If you go mining in a volcano for obsidian crystal or metal you can put the resources in your argie it will lower the weight of the resources than when they were in your inventory

Up for an alpha like a sky giga.

The sky is too easy.

I suggest using a decoy Dino wether it being a tank or just a Dino you don’t want and bring a second Dino if your decoy dies.you can also make traps for them yt is where you can find those traps. These tips helped me get my argent I hope it can get y’all one too <3

This isnt really a Taming Tip tho it is a Good tip. If your trying to hatch a Argy egg or just any egg But dont have a Ac Unit then go to the snow area(This Only works if there is a snow area Like on the Island) And set up a little campsite there(Kinda like a small house or base) and fill it with campfires. Light all the campfires and the Egg wont be to hot. This might not be for everyone but it worked for me

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.

Argis when saddled are mobile smithys

Easy to tame female

Knocked it pretty quickly

Devs should add the ability to carry wild creatures (You can in ARK Mobile).

So you went to the snow biome or carnivore island to tame an argentavis but your problem is that there is too many hostile dinos in the area where you found the argy you want. Well there's an easy solution. Just lure it away from that dangerous place and bring it to your base. They start to attack you once you get too close so use this to you advantage. Make it aggro and get it to follow you, use a pteronodon in doing this. You don't have to sprint while flying on your pteronodon as the argy's sprinting speed is the same as a pteronodon's walk speed (while flying). Then bring it where it's safe and knock it out with tranq arrows. Then just feed it with either normal or prime meat and wait, make sure you have narcotic so it doesn't wake up. Congrats you have tamed an argy and you didn't have to watch one of your tames die to a random carnivore.
