The guy who said tame this with sling and coocked fish meat is a LEGEND😎😎😎😎
I tried using bollas but they Don't work I recommend the chain bolas
Insanely easy tame with a ptera! No traps needed. Just tranq the argy and fly a decent distance. Rinse repeat as it follows you. I do this all the time.
Find a safe taming spot within render distance. Shoot your desired argentavis once with a pistol with a scope attached. It'll head straight for you so be ready with a harpoon launcher and net projectile. When in range, shoot with the net and knock it out with tranquilizers of your choice. If its high level and the the net is going to wear off before knockout, toss a tent over it and continue with the tranquilizers.
Unfortunately the rapid regen glitch that let you tame them super fast seems to have been patched so unless youve got very boosted settings use nothing worse than prime.
If you wanna tame it fast(in seconds) you need to trap one, put a sleeping bag near, die and respawn in this bag, feed your corpse to the birb and knock it out.
It's hunger will drain to 0, put some meat and observe
Tame 1 meat raw not much
2 let starve when nocked out
3 feed
4 sec 3- 18 for bird
Easy to tame, steps:
1) Bring a knockout weapon (I like to use a crossbow) and tranqs (around 20-30) and taming food (meat or their kibble)
2) Find one, they are common on all the mountains on The Island
3) Doesn’t really matter what level, as they are all easy to tame, so just find the highest level
4) Aggro it by shooting it with your tranqs
5) It will start chasing you, but it’s slow, so just run, shoot, run, shoot until it gets knocked out
6) Give it its food (meat or their kibble) and Voila! No narcotics needed, and you just got yourself a big eagle that is great for storing metal and moving it around!
As a side note, if you knock them out while they’re regening after eating a corpse, it’s food drops very low, and will eat all of the taming food at once, causing an instant tame!
For more spawn location details for other maps, go to Google, search up “ark argentavis”, click it’s wiki page and scroll down to find its spawn locations on all maps!
I saw this on a yt video:
Get 4 stone dino gates,
2 reinforced wooden Dino gates
Put them in a row and put the doors at the ends
Shoot with a tranq arrow
Lure it over to the trap and get through
Squeeze out the gaps inside
Close the door
Shoot it with tranq arrows
Real beach bobs knock it out with boomerang and feed it meat jerky 😁
Not very fast, so if you can't fight, flee!
To tame an argentavis you first must construct 3 stone gateways and 2 stone gates to build a trap, after well just knock it out!
If you have access to a net gun use it on a argy
An easy way to tame an argie without using a trap is to agro it with your darts/tranq arrows and keep it interested in you, dodging it’s attacks. After you have shot about 1/2 of the tranqs needed into it, use a net with the harpoon gun to net it and prevent it from going into run mode. From there you can finish knocking it out with ease.
Build a trap of 4/5 dino gates easy tame and great for weight
To tame just make 4 wooden gateways and 2 wood gates and lure it in to tame. Shoot it with tranq arrow crossbow to knock out.
The argentavis is one simple trap away from being your first flyer. Who needs a ptranadon when you have an easy argrentavis trap. Start by getting 4 stone dino gateframes and 2 stone dino gates. Metal works aswell as wood, (less reliable) you want tonplace all 4 gate frames in a row hallway style. You want there to be only enough room for you to get through between them. Then place 2 doors on each end open the door lure it in and close the door after you get out. Easy tame use a slingshot, bow, crossbow whatever floats your boat.
