Steps on how to tame a argentavis:

1. Build 4-5 stone gate frames place them in a straight line place then distant but not to distant or the Argentavis will fly through the top, build 2 reinforced gates and place one at the end leave the other one in your hot bar.

2. Get the argentavis attention, make him follow you into the trap and place the other gate then run through the side.

3. Use around 50 tranqs just in case you miss

Use a primitive crossbow.

4. There carnivores so they eat meat mutton/prime will work or kibble if you have!

There is a easier way to do this.

Just shoot the bird while he is following you when his torpor starts to get High he will try to fly away so trap might be better whichever way you prefer! -Boycicle

They are slightly annoying big birds

Really common around Vikings bay on ragnarock

Looking for the safest way to tame an Argy in the Redwoods? Here's your guide!

Step 1, grab a Pteranodon and fly over to the Red Peak.

Step 2, set up a little camp and build your trap, I used the 5 stone gateframes and the reinforced gates with a bit of space between each

Step 3, find your Argy

Step 4, lead them to the trap

Step 5, hover at the entrance and wait for them to be right behind you

Step 6, fly in

Step 7, the Argy should be in there, and if you have any other tames, aggro onto your other tames until the gate starts to close

Step 8, close the gate

Step 9, knock it out, or do the starve feeding glitch

Step 10, give it any meat, raw meat gives about 10% per feeding so it's not that bad

Step 11, wait for a bit

Step 12, name your new Argy!

Good luck and use this info how you will! I tamed my two Argies, Kokichi and Shuichi, with this

Happy and safe hunting! ^^

cool bird for cool people PS: did you know that you can starve tame these almost immediately after knocking it out?

you already know probably but lets still go over it!

set a trap (required)

make it bloody like half HP or low HP

kill ANYTHING than you can drag or kill inside the trap

The argy will start losing hunger rapidly

then any type of meat! since this is a starve tame and it probably wont affect much taming effectiveness, just feed it regular meat!

but i recommend prime meat tho, if its a high level one probably 120-150

KNOUCK THEM WITH NORMAL CROWBOW!! TRUST ME JUST DO IT WITH NORMAL ONE! So I made a trap and lore the argy in it and when I was shooting him with my Mastercraft crow bow she died. And I lore a another one and he died too!

Run or walk around in a circle and they will not be able to hit you, easy way to kill or tame.

Have a couple of these follow you when you go on metal runs for TONS of metal

Better have low level argy than no argy at all!!! Even low levels have great stamina, not mentioning that their ability to pick up dinos! Trust me, any argy would make your life easier

An argentavis can't fit through a ceiling with one tile missing, but a pteranadon or lymantria can. Build a trap with one corner ceiling missing, aggro the argentavis, fly in one side and out the missing ceiling tile, and land. Dismount, run around, and close the entry door. Tame safely at your leisure.

Here’s a recommendation for easy mode players.

1. Find a good argy

2. Shoot near 15 tranq arrows at it

3. Put a stack or two of cooked or raw meat inside

4. Sleep in a sleeping bag and give the argy some narcotics

5. Wait a few more minutes

Congratulate yourself

MONSTER LOG

Argentavis

Behavior: Aggressive

The Argentavis is the bully of the sky. It is find on every map, but Abbreviation (I probably misspelled that). It is recognizable by it’s giant eagle structure, while it’s a giant vulture. It comes in pretty colors, but don’t be fooled, it will think your a McDonald advertisement Big Mac. Once tamed, it was but one of your most useful mounts. It has great energy and can kill medium dinos with ease. It also regains health fast if it eats a corpse, which make it a great battle bird. Not to mention the fact it can carry medium dinos in it’s talon and small ones in it’s beak. If you want to tame one, it was be worth your time.

HOW TO TAME

You will need: 5 wooden/stone dinosaur gateways, 2 wooden/stone dinosaur gateway doors, 1 crossbow/longneck, Tranq arrows/darts, and taming food (Mutton is recommended)

Pre-make the trap by spacing the gateways in a way so you can get out but the argy can’t. Add the doors.

I will be referring to the island for locations

First, go to the volcano and find the argy you desire

Second, get it’s attention by shooting it

Third, make it follow you into the trap

Fourth, shut the doors

Lastly, Knock it out and feed it the taming food

Happy taming!

I tamed like 3 of these last second so I can go home across the map with all the loot I wanted

Great carriers, but my base was in the artic so Argentavis was all around

Spawn on volcano near the snoe biome on the island. Bring a friend to trank and tapejara with saddle. Have friend use front passenger seat and face the argy and back up while they tranq, then feed meat.

I killed a lvl 50 alpha raptor in under 2 mins

On one of these

They’re amazing

Havent played in ark since flyer nerf, last time I saw the argy it was just a cheaper and expendable, worse but faster quetzal. Now it looks like a completely brand new creature, it looks so amazing now, and it has so useful again, and the fact that you regenerate stamina by eating corpse can make you fly forever. Truly a jack of all trades, I loved it before the nerf, now I love it again and I love it even more now

Lift an Anky with an argument after the anky is full of metal and you can carry so much more metal than if you put the metal in the argy up this if helpful

Forget all the things that they say right now use pteradons to steal wyvern eggs!

F*ck traps, here's the raw way of how to tame the Argent:

1: find a preferably empty spot of land, kill and destroy nearby obstructions (creatures, trees, etc)

2: find your Argentavis: Argy's are rarely found on the ground, so that's one thing. (B); they have a kinda small aggro range, so damaging it to lure is highly recommended.

3: "so anyway I started blastin'" (oh and btw K.O'd creatures do not take fall damage)

4: the real horde survival begins, things here and there may smell you and try to kill you, and if you're dead, so is your tame, and if you're really resourceful, harvest the bodies of your enemies for meat/prime meat to feed your new pawn of your army.

They are good for stealing children but be sure to have ur kidnapping licence on you

I built a trap, intending to trap the bird in it, but I ended up trapping myself in it, and shooting the bird from the inside! 😂😂😂
