Narc it up to 75% Torpor and check with the magnifying glass to be sure. Feed it a corpse(fish or dodo or smth), and as soon as it eats the corpse, narc it out! It will heal up and when its narced its food will drop 2000-4000(depends on how fast you narc it out). TADAA...instatame ;)
If you’re on PC then turn up taming stuff and put up hunger then just put a few pieces of raw meat in its inventory after you tranq it from the ground a couple times.
I used a tranquilizer bow and my partner use long neck we took turns shooting as it was hingry for me. Once it was KO we supplied it with raw meat and no berries or juice made a saddle right away and in my opinion best flyer so far
They are easier to tame than they seem just trap them! -Cash Sullivan
1x1 trap: Build one wood foundation, add two high doorframes on one side with ceiling on top, and finally one doorframe on each side. Lure argy in and place a final doorframe behind.
Build a Dino pen with 3 Dino gateways and gates, then make stone doorways, then make a roof and then tranq
Lure to taming box and tranq til flyes other direction then drop dead fish body and wait til health ring appears then knock it while health ring is over head, hunger goes all way down and makes it a 30 second tame.
Get it in a cage find a near by animal to kill drag the body over to the argie and knock it out while it has the green buff on its head it will knock out with 0 food and instantly tame. It’s advised to shoot it before you feed it the body or have help from a friend considering the green buff on their head is only a couple seconds long but definitely worth the effort
Do not try to bola it is a bad idea I mean a very bad idea
To tame just use a crossbow and keep shooting while having a friend agro it to you while shooting feed it raw meat and. Done
I tamed my first 160lvl argy inside a spike wall hedge. Then quickly ogled it up to lvl206 by “finding” knowledge notes while Mounted
Might be a bit hard to tame one if you're low level like me, but like all the other comments said, It's absolutely worth it. I had a bit of luck and ran into a level 35 argy, after being chased for a bit and then chasing it a bit I tamed it with raw prime meat and got it to level 40+. Equipped even with a primitive saddle, this bird can tear through anything that's level 30 or below. Terror birds? Sabertooth? Lift up and kill. Need prime meat? Slaughter some paracertheriums or diplodocus. Want a Rex bone helmet? Fly straight into its back and start clawing! So far the only things I have encountered with argy and haven't managed to kill are Titanosaurs(for obvious reasons) and Allosaur packs (I am positive that the argy can handle them with a few easy prey nearby, but I wouldn't take that chance.). No Rex or Spino or Bronto can stand up to it as long as there are other prey nearby for it to regenerate its health. So go ahead and tame one as soon as u can!
Best place to find a good one is carno island
