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.

Use traq arrow slowly if its not a a good level like 1-20

How to tame this .... i dont know how to but in the dead island there was so many Argys but i cant even tame one cuz there is so many Sabers,Carno,Scrop,and Raptors.. Can someone help mehh

Can carry: Gorilla Monkey Tiger Wolf Bear Horse Anything Small. Pachy pachyrino anklo Dilophosaurs. And animals samiliar to those sizes.

If you already tamed this it could a Smithy alternative

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.

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.

Tip for new players - argentavis are good flyers and they can carry 60% of dinos in ark island and best way to tame them is to first have a good health mount more then 2k health and u can use weapons on them and keep shooting them until they run and when they run u can even use longneck rifle now or u can just sit on tapejara and set argy its target and keep hiting it till it gets knock like i tamed 4 argy in my early 60 days with a 4k health sarco and after 27 days i had a op argy mutation they are good and best mount until u tame Griffins

Argents have always been beasts. It's actually better to have than Quetzals since Quetz have gotten way less useful throughout the years. These guys are beasts in metal farming with an Anky, especially on mobile.

They can be found mostly around big mountains or spawned with the hunt argy quest anyways hope this helped

Really easy to tame since a level 30 takes 8 tranq darts. It’s saddle is a mobile smithy. They do commonly spawn near the mountains, in the redwoods and in the snow. Just be careful if your doing mountains because Gigas can spawn. I find Gigas at Fars Peak

When the argy is almost knocked out (like before it runs away)

Kill small Dino (raptor, dodo, etc.) and drag body to arge, the arge will eat it and gain the health buff thing and it’s food will rapidly decrease, this helps with tame time!

I also go to carnivore island to tame because of all the raw prime and arge

After reading some of these comments, I was really excited to finally ride an argy. Once I was able to craft the saddle, I put it on my argy. I started to flying around and as some comments stated that they’re slow, they were right, slow flyers and when argy are carrying creature they tend to be on top of the argy allowing the creature to attack if it’s wild. I do not know if that’s only me but if it’s just like that they should probably fix it. Those two are the only down side of an argy besides that everything is great, really good stamina great for carrying/transporting resources and animal as long as you’re careful.

I just bred mine and the egg is always too hot, any suggestions? I don't own an air conditioner.

I find a lot at a place where I like to call argi mountain found in redwood

I recommend making a trap with dinosaur gates, for the high level ones. I tamed a 130 like this

Build a trap don't mess around running and shooting

There usually found in the red woods by the huge mountain, I’m pretty sure there found in other places too, but the red woods works best for me. Also if ur trying to tame one aim for the head with tranqs, but if they get too bloody start aiming at the body.

If you have one of these get a raft, build a taming pen on top and a space for landing and you have yourself a good portable taming base for anything it can pick up. I've tamed loads with this. It's easier than flying all the way to base or making several taming pens at different locations.

Not bad if u r going for an upgrade from pt as is well worth it and do take a hight level mostly above 50 if u low level your self
