What are tips for argentavis? Tips and strategies for argentavis in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Jump onto it with a bat and knock it out
The argentavis is a late to middle early-game flying workhorse, which many players see as essential to tame. It is slower than pteranodons and tapejaras, but faster than the quetzalocalus, making it the second slowest flying tame on the Island. It is generally untouchable from most land predators while in the air, but is very vunerable when perched on the ground. If attacked by land predators, DO NOT RETALIATE if said predator is larger than a raptor if your argentavis level is 1-25. Simply get off your mount if you are sure you can kill it, otherwise, wait unti your stamina is at ca 1/3 of the max, or about 300 and escape from it. I recommend perching on tall rocks or in isolated areas, and with a bit of stamina left. When flying, carrying three or even four parachutes will help to ensure your longevity, as geting your mount killed in pvp or simply accidentally hitting dismount can have very fatal results for you. The parachute is easy to make and will save you from a fall, a headache, or won't matter in the end, as those dudes in their tapejara followed you onto the ground.
ROLES
GATHERER TRANSPORT
The Argentavis suited for harvesting resources, as it can carry any parasaur-sized creatures or smaller in its talons, allowing you to transport your otherwise slow and bulky ankylo over the entire Island in twenty minuters or more. The Argentavis carries stone, metal, obsidian and more at reduced weight by itself, so having no good harvesting dinos makes little difference wheightwise.
HAULER
As the argentavis has relatively high base weight capacity for a flyer, making it effective at transporting base building materials, raw materials, dinos, and even pepole long distances at low risk for running into a level 500 alpha Rex. It is a bit more risky adding in a human factor, however, so if a server is populated enough, you might want an escort.
EMERGENCY HUNTER
In a pinch, an Argentavis serves well for hunting small medium creatures or sauropods. It can hunt raptors and parasaurs with ease, as it can pick them from the ground and kill them in the air. Sauropods are a bit trickier, but also a valuable source of easy prime meat for a sudden, rare tame like a tek Rex or quetzalocalus. The oly thing you have to do to take out sauropods is stay close to them, find a sweet spot where the cannot attack you and pray your stamina doesn't run out. They generally do very little damage, so this is easy. DO NOT attack titanosaurs (the ones with rocks on their backs) , as they will qiuckly reduce you to a boken mess.
TROLLING AID
Webever you are bored, you can fly up to a player, grab them off their mount, and drop them from a small distance. Then simply wrote "we do a little trolling" in the chat and leave before they unload their assault rifle into your face.
TAMING AID
The Argentavis can pick up and immobilize most small creatures, making them easier to tame, eg picking a wild raptor from an unwinnable fight, or a diplocalus from a swamp.

If you don't want to spend a lot of time (especially newbies in mobile ARK) on building a trap and high cost of resources. I recommend the channel ' captain fatdog '. He has tips on building traps Argo, Gigi, Rex, Rinio and others.

Easy to tame with captain fatdog’s trap. I used a PT and did it easily on ark ps5. This was my first time so now you know how easy it is! P.S. you have to let it hit you. My PT had 200 hp and 300 stamina.
