Dododex
ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Build an argy cage with 6 foundationd, 1 dino gate, 24 or 32 doorframes, then ceiling. You have to lure the argy inside so you can shoot it down safely cause they fly away when almost down.
Tbh with y’all, Argies are really cute and very easy to tame. All u have to do is knock it out using tranq darts (or tranq arrows) about 3-5 and then when they r unconscious js get sum meat and put it in him or her and it won’t take very long. And same with breeding, js get a female and a male Argie, set them both to wander, and when they r finished doing whatever they have to do, watch ur egg hatch! WARNING ⚠️: The egg can die if it gets too hot, so watch out for that and u’ll be fine. I’ve bred many and have 4 baby argies and 7 or 8 adult ones! Good luck taming and breeding 👍
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.
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
hardest part of taming an argy is the location. keep an eye out for rexes, allos, and other argys while the one you're taming is out
If encountered do these two steps
1.Bola friend
2.Run
Often finds the in top of mountains..
You should at least bring a cross bow and 5 tranq arrows for low level and about 30 for a high level and about 100 narcotics just in case and feed it prime meat or regular meat or kibble it likes then wait for it to tame then you have your self a arg press the arrow pointing up if it was helpful thanks if you do ☺️💓
CAN BE LASSO'D
That just made everything MUCH easier.
You can find this in the top left of the map they are easy to find there
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.
I’m gonna be honest, these things are the best! I mean, I saw this thing on Dododex and did some research and found out it is really good. I tame a lvl 20 and her and I were best friends. They have INSANE weight reduction, they have great health, and great stamina. They aren’t the fastest, but they will get you to where you need to go with only a couple stops. Mine is now like lvl 85 and I use her to kill alpha raptors and alpha carnos. Keep in mind this guy only has 15 hundred health. Overall, this Dino is a wonderful tame and is easy to tame, it has many uses and is hard to kill once you get a saddle for. I don’t care if you like, but I hope this helped. ;)
