Easily one of the best tames in the entire game hands down.

Only tested this on mobile, but if you knock them out when they have the healing buff from eating a corpse, almost all of their food will be gone, making for a quick and easy tame if you know what you’re doing.

If you need an argy and don’t have time to tame one with a trap, just go to carno island, kill a Dino in front of an argy and let it harvest its body. When the green health icon shows up on top of it, knock it out with tranq arrows and the argy is instantly yours.

So how do you tame an argy:

1. You will have to trap him

2. You will have to make it unconsious

3. You will give it food

4. You will wait (don't forget to give it some narcoberries)

5. Name it and it is yours

Great for metal and obsidian runs. This thing has industrialised me greatly

That's all. Ur welcome

CAN BE LASSO'D

That just made everything MUCH easier.

Argies are hands down one of the most best tames in game. They are on every map except Abberation and can do everything! They good war birds, transport, metal assistant, mobile smithy, can regenerate health and stam on the go, and so much more!

Please note: the Argentavis can now fit through one tile spaces, good to know if you are using a ptera (which can also fit through one tile spaces) and trap method to tame.

There is a working glitch right now that allows you to (almost) instant tame these things. First, trap the Argy in a simple trap you can walk out of but the Argy cant fly out of. Second, put all of your items in a box next to a sleeping bag next to the trap and then commit die. Respawn at your bag, shoot the argy with lots of tranqs and use dododex to make sure you dont knock it out. Third, take your dead body and drag it within reach of the Argy, once the Argy consumes it its head will glow green, now knock the Argy out the rest of the way and its food bar will be drained heavily.

This allows for a near instant tame and works best on the lower levels. Using this method on an Argy makes it a faster name than a Pteranadon.

I used this on Thanksgiving day 2019.

This is very useful since it carries helpful dinosaurs like an anklo

Half the weight for Crystal, Meth & Obsidian.

Argies are great for attack from above to easly kill rexs but remember to still pump health becuase if you get stuck under your dead

Very good dino, it's eggs are very tasty and it can carry most of my dinos. I use it to carry doedicus or ankylo to cliffs to collect stone / metal. Btw when it's carrying a dino the attack button does not make the argy hit something it makes the carried dino hit.

These are literally the best tames in the whole game.

50% weight reduction on metal, crystal, and obsidian

Good health, weight, stamina, and attack damage

Their saddle is a smithy

Good at gathering meat and hide

Quick to knock out and tame

Gets a health and stamina regeneration boost when you eat a body

Can pick up two creatures at a time, one in the beak and one in the claws

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if someone found out they can shapeshift into a giga

These big birds are one of the greatest dinos in all of ark they are great for obsidian, metal and crystal runs on the biggest mountains. Try to tame a high level as you can get better stats (that’s pretty obvious I know). The main stats you should upgrade mainly for material runs is weight to carry for things, stamina so you don’t have to keep stopping for rest, and movement speed so you can have multiple runs of materials if you don’t want to upgrade weight.

Thanks for reading hope this is helpful

Can be found all throughout the snow, many parts of the desert, and even on the volcano. Very powerful flyers, don’t make them mad without a good weapon and mount

So you wanna tame one of these flyers and cant be asked to do anything sorta complicated? my friend, its as easy as it gets, just do these and you shall be flying a portable smithy in no time.

1. prepare a longneck rifle with tranq darts. to be safe, over 20 for accidental misses.

2 . after you find a high level one (mountains and near the arctic biome on the island), make sure it doesnt have a family. if they do? they will all swarm you and it isn't too deadly, but not nice to deal with. you may want to have atleast raw meat, but very very preferably prime meat to make it much more faster, and easy going. just scout some baby dinos and wipe em with a good tame. 15+ prime meat is safe enough for any situation.

3. if it is all alone, high level, make sure you just have a clear-ish area, to see the skies and not have any hostile dinos near you, such as raptors etc. it will be annoying to get swarmed by them.

4. do your part by shooting quite a few tranq darts at it when ready, and just wait for it to knock out while shooting. be aware, it does fly quite a bit, so you may want a tame that is faster than a heavier dino like a trike etc to catch up easily. so a preferably OK speed dino.

5. Now that it is knocked and snoozing, you really shouldnt require narcotics, but if you want to be just extremely safe, do so. now with (preferably) prime meat, feed it just like any other and let the rest unfold. i really recommend prime, as it is only 20 to 30 min. max compared to raw meat, about an hour's worth taming. Yes, i tested. it wasnt fun.

6. you should have your argy! if you do and have the saddle (unlocked at 61 to 62 if sure), you will have a great early game flyer!

Extra uses: it has a built in smithy, usable with resources inside. It has an effect that allows it to consume other corpses for quick health regen. It has a buff that makes any metal, obsidian, and crystal, half of the original weight, making a great material hoarder for your metal runs, and other early materials you need for most of your items. it can also pick up medium animals, including humans! you can transport tribemates easier if you really want to.

Thats all, i spent not too long writing this. I hope that the tips i gave helped, have a nice time with your argy if so!

Eggs hold for 3x as long in the Argy’s Inventory!

Can’t wait to YEET a raptor off a cliff.

Y'all,

Please God, TAME THIS THING!!!

All of you ptera users need to fly your butts over to the ice biome and tame this boy. He only needs tranq arrow for knockout tame too. He has weight reduction of obsidian and I think metal, and since I got a good health one I'm rocking 16 health and 650% melee. You can literally just fly up to the top of the map or even let it tank while you shoot something. This was by far my most useful tame on island and scorched. I just take this guy and he Carry's my ankylo and go to the mountain area, and we bring back like 1200 metal each time. So please please please use an Archie 🙏🙏🙏
