What are tips for argentavis? Tips and strategies for argentavis in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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.
Heres a few tips about the argentavis:
1-If they eat any corpse, they will start rapidly gaining health.
2-They have a 50% weight reducement(is that a word lol) on metal ore, crystal or obsidian.
3-They can carry medium sized creatures, like an anky, raptor, or parasaur.
4-You can use these guys to farm metal with an anky, grab an anky with the argy and bring it to a location with lots of metal and start farming that metal with your anky.

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.
To tame this big bird, you need a couple of dino gates for a trap, alot of tranq darts/arrows, longneck rifle, and some prime meat or kibble if you have any. if this helped click the arrow on the bottom left of this text that is pointing up 👆
These things are fast, I rednecked it with a tranq crossbow, almost died, don't recommend doing that, if you're a new player you should get practice with small stuff and then work up to these they can kill you really really fast, amazing for hauling metal tho
I don't have to tell how good transporter they are but one advice for taming, make sure to keep dead dino nearby so it have its healing effect on while you shooting tranq, if it knocks out while in healing state, it will have less chance of dying and will have almost half food bar empty for quick feeding
Shoot it twice with a trang, then feed it a dead body of any type. Once the argy eats the body. Knock it out as fast as possible. Once it hits the ground put 3 stacks of raw meat in it. Then wait 1 minute. And you tamed yourself an argy
The thing is so easy to kill with a shotgun and pistol
Needs 20 kibble not 19. I used 19 kib and 2 prime meat and it came out to be a 198.
If you are a new player and are not sure if you want to tame one read this
Its a must have flier its not very fast but is pretty strong and can carry A LOT
It also has reduced weight on some stuff so it can carry even more
And they are pretty easy to tame by just luring them in a simple and cheap trap for which you can find a tutorial on youtube
