What are tips for argentavis? Tips and strategies for argentavis in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
These guys despawn when you go to far from it.
When taming, ALWAYS put wooden spiked walls, multiplayer or not. I HAD TO TAME AN ARGY 4 TIMES BC IT KEPT DYING😭😭😡😡😡😡😡
MOST PEOPLE WILL RECOMMEND USING THREE STONE GATES AND TWO DOORS AS AN ARGY TRAP!
I also did tried it to trap a wild 300 lvl argy,but you know? I ended up getting killed by it.The thing is the door closes very slowly and creates time for the argy to escape.
So what you should do is make three stone gate,one door,three stone pillar
Place the three doors in a line , and don't place the door, instead put it on your hotbar.
Now at the last gate place the three pillars right at the center of it , this creates a gap for you to run and not an argy.
Now as usual, lure one into the trap,
Once you escape through the gaps between the pillars quickly run back and place it.
Placing a door is quicker than closing one that already got placed. I tamed the wild one using this trap. It's very effective.
And don't forget to test it before trying.
Stay away from all the stuff that you can eat you
Watch out for these guys they will beat yu, best way to get rid of them is run or hit them with stun arrows they are basically impossible to kill by hand they automatically heal.
It has a weight reduction on polymer, organic polymer, metal, crystal, obsidian metal ingots so it can be used as a cargo bird.
They can have very high health and dmg so there also good fighters
They also can lift many dinos such a anky, doedic, baryonx, parasaur
ALSO I AM ON MOBILE
The Argy is not just an amazing beginning tame, but also a mid and end game tame. Even after you get tekgrams(blueprints after you kill bosses) or even if you have tek, you will still use them. They are the best for PvP because they are slow, but they reduce metal, crystal, stone, and obsidian by half and if you have an Anky(spike ball tail dino) it will also reduce the metal by 50%. That's why you see people using these two dinos together because the weight after you pick up the anky will be 25% of the actual weight. Here's a tip, just use 3 to 4 stone gates and two gate doors( don't use behemoth) to trap it with tranqs or darts. If you don't want to wait for it to starve before you tame then when it runs away or is high torpor drag a dead body, player, dino whatever and let it eat it. Knock it out before the green glow disappears and it'll have almost 0 food. Have a great day.
If you build a trap and trap it.... you got it
Best to do a 3x3 stone foundation and 81 normal stone door frames make sure the door frames are 3 high and just make a normal stone dino gateway and some gates. Keep it distracted with a dodo in the cage so you can close the door. I recommend using bio toxin if you live near or in the beach since narcotics are really important for tranqs. Monitor the argy always. You can get a female and male to reduce your struggles in taming more. Just mate them. PS: Argies are great for taming the giant bigfoot things since they can pick it up. Mobile player here just got another baby argy
Very quick way to tame these is you get them trapped start shooting them in the head with tranqs for 3x torpor then when the reach 75% torpor the will try to fly away that’s when you kill as small Dino like a dodo hold it under the argentavis until it’s torpor drains just past 75% then it will attack you harvest the dead Dino and then as fast as you can fire as many tranqs into it (helps if you have a friend or a good crossbow or longneck for high levels) and if you can knock it out with it’s healing buff still active it’s good will Dorian very fast for a quick tame.
they are not only found in mountain areas but on fjordur they are also found on balhemir island
Easy Tame for a useful tame.
Go near the winter obelisk, there's mostly high level argies in there just watch out for sabers and gigas. Kite one with your trusty ptera to the obelisk and start shooting it with toxitant arrow. Easy to knock out for it's slow and easy to shoot and run. Feed it. Easy.
To tame an argentavis, if your in mobile use stego kibble and if you have amber get 3x taming speed, and if PC still use an kibble for a very fast taming procces :)
You can make a cage to the argentavis and hit him one arrow only and make a bed and go to sleep when you woke up hit him until he fall down and you well get it's food is zero so it will tamed in a very small time.
I try this tips to tame argentavis level 157 with meat and he tamed in just 20 second
Your first trap 🪤:
Target: argy
Stone trap
5 stone Dino gate ways and 2 Dino gate way doors
Aline them up and put the doors on each end
I suggest female Argys for eggs
Get argy no mount or yes mount open the front and lead it in go through the crack in between the gate ways and close the door
Hope this is helpful 🆙
It can be found in few places like in redwoods mountain or the snow mountain
