What are tips for argentavis? Tips and strategies for argentavis in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I would recommend taming a male and female then breeding as this is the easiest way to gain a high stat or army if u wanted to but don't keep going out and taming em it can be hellish especially at dead island
After you get an pteradon get an argument it will usually only use about 5-10 narcotics and they are NOT made for travling unless you are going to the snow biome they half weight on obsidian,metal and I think stone fact check me idk if that’s true now you can make a trap or you can face it off like a real man and shoot it in its face lap around it with a pteradon and feed it prime meat from killing low level argys
Easy have your pt with good hp good enough to tank fly it into the volcano and ko it in the volcano works on mobile idk about on pc/console but it works and it’s safe.
If your a new player, trust me, these guys are way easier to tame than you think. Just build a trap and get plenty of narcotics - lure it in by getting it to follow you - but don’t get too close. And boom you have a a argy!
Just spent 40 minutes trying to K.O a level 135 with a crossbow and narc arrows.... it flew over water so I had to wait for it to land, shoot at it, then wait for it to land again..... etc
A lot of these are found up north near the ice, easy to tame 3 or 4 narc arrows & a load of meat, pretty easy to kill too, a couple of swipes from your sword & it’s dead.
It’s basically a flying smithy and can carry a lot of weight
If you don’t have acces to a AC yet , just throw the egg on the ground inside your base at night/early morning. Temp between 8-14 celcius are perfect. Pick it up when it’s getting to hot in the late morning.
Because argy's spawn in spots with lots of predators, all you have to do is build a wooden spike wall around it when it's unconsious. Predators will get killed on the spike wall and won't harm your argy. I used this strategy with my gallimimus i was taming in the redwoods. I tamed it safely! You can use this with many diffrent creatures to protect them when they're unconsious. The bigger the creature, the more the walls. For an argy, i'd say around 6 walls. I once had knocked a therizino unconsious, and it was killed by dilos. If i had used spike walls, those dilos would have died! R.I.P therizino. Hope thos helped!
When they get the green glow fast regen thing nock it out it will be starved for somereason
All u rly need is a friend with a ptera and some tranqs one person on the ptera and one person hanging from the feet with a crossbow and tranqs
In pvp if you get picked up by one of these you can get away by grappling the ground, but you will take fall damage so make sure you have some parachutes.
Once you get one of these bird attention QUICKLY place 5 or so stone/wood dinosaur gateways in a row, far enough where they don’t connect but close enough where they can’t get out. Place 2 doors, one of each end.
Get it’s attention again and while you’re running through the gateway, be QUICK to open and shut the gate while you manage to escape.
Once trapped and you get out, shoot with tranq arrow and feed raw meat, make sure u feed narco or bio toxin while taming
For ant pne who is early gamer with crossbow or reg bow just shoot in face if around level 25 or lower and i will go out and breed dino and hatch babies and kill them for pilrime I tamed a level 15 and it level 33 now and already killed a bro tosaurs so highly advise it just look close in woods
For those who like pretty colours on their tames, lost island lava biome spawns bright red almost phoenix like argy’s
