Easy to tame easy to breed/raise/hatch … made an army and tamed wild high levels during events!
OK SO I just tamed my first argy (I’m lvl 58 so still kinda noobie) they really aren’t that hard to tame. I just used a crossbow w/ trank arrows and it fell quick. (Lvl 15 argy) While I fed it normal meet I killed some diplos for like 10 prime and it tamed within 5 minutes? Better then 30. Hope this help :) (this was in the red woods so be careful Of the near by swamp)
Guys. Cmon. You don’t need any traps, ok? I tamed multiple Argies using this simple, simple method.
Pick out an Argy. Whether it be high or low. Then lure it to a safe place. Once you’ve lured it quickly run away from it so it looses interest in you, then wait for it to land. Make sure you have at least 50 tranq arrows or darts.The Torpor for these creatures varies between levels. And some Narcotics, just in case the one you’ve chosen happens to be a high level, but anyway, once they’ve landed get off your mount, if your on one, and go shoot it. It will begin to chase you, and they are fairly slow so out running them is a breeze, keep shooting until it’s knocked out, it’s okay if you get hit sometimes, they don’t do that much damage anyway, So for your taming food, I suggest using prime meat, it goes much quicker and does much more. You can harvest prime meat from Argentavis’. Just be Patient and protect your giant birb. And once it’s done, Congrats! You have a giant birb!
They mostly found in the snow but can also be found at the highest mountain in the Redwoods. That’s where I found my lvl 128 Argie called Autumn! Hope this helps! (Cause I thought they only lived in the snow)
Knocking out while self healing gives you speed taming and same way also valid for Daedon.
Here’s how to get an argy fairly early on with a minimalistic trap:
Make a 1x1x2 trap with a (preferably stone, wood might survive but be careful) foundation, 8 doorframes and one hatchframe ceiling. Leave 2 doorframes out as an entrance and lead the argy into the trap. Quickly place the doorframes behind it by running up to the side of the trap and placing them. The argy will now be stuck and probably spin in place. Just stand close enough so it doesn’t do this and slingshot until it gets knocked out.
I found one and tamed in near the western plans Beach on the island
Funnily enough i tame this dino without any traps just with my crossbow trans.
Yes by running around from it while doing a 360° spinning tranq shots and taking sme dmge.
The Argentavis has a weight reduction of 50% for Black Pearls, Crystal, Metal, Metal Ingots, Obsidian, Organic Polymer, Polymer, and Stone, and its saddle acts as a mobile smithy. In terms of how to tame it, I'd recommend taming a Pteranodon and setting up a trap near the Argy you want to tame, as both of these will make taming the Argy MUCH easier.
A good trap is made with 4 stone dino gateways and 2 reinforced dino gates. Place 3 of the gateways close to each other in a straight line, making sure you can go through all 3 of them in a straight line, but place the 4th one a little farther away from the others. This is so your Pteranodon can fly through the gap, but make sure you only have enough space for your Pteranodon, as you don't want the Argy escaping. Once you've made sure your Ptera can fly through that small gap, place a reinforced dino gate on the front and rear gates. The front is the one that has two others behind it, and the rear gate is the one that's farther away from the others. Open up the front gate, mount your Pteranodon, and lead the Argy you want to tame into the trap, flying out of the gap you left. Then quickly land, get off your Ptera and close the front gate. Congrats! You've trapped an Argentavis! Now good luck taming it!
Donnot tame arge when he is with his brothers
Bird is very slow but will fly away from you after like 5 hits
If you wanna an argy use trank arrows if you manage to knock out the argy feed it prime meat kill other argys to get prime meat
