What are tips for argentavis? Tips and strategies for argentavis in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I knocked one out after it got the regen buff from something I killed for meat, tamed in about 20 seconds, maybe started as level 25 or so
I cant find anything about this, maybe its an Ark mobile thing
Seems like after the tlc patch they are harder to down, im on unofficial with damage numbers and it looks like theres no headshot multiplier and it took about 60 hits with a crossbow to down a 150 with fairly regular hits
Build a taming pen from 5 or 6 Dino gateways and two gates. Space them roughly equally apart leaving enough space to run in-between the gateways to get in and out, but not so much space that your tame can escape.
Get it to where it is running away then drag it a dead body so it will eat it then start healing and then knock it out while it has the healing symbol over its head if you do it right then it's good will rapidly drain
They are the best creature for ark. They are great if u upgrade them and they have a smithy on them. Upgrade it’s weight stamina health and melee damage. Mine killed a level 50 giga very fast. They are great for traveling but avoid water so u don’t fall into and have to go to shore and wistle follow. Allways bring them for tames and set there behaviour to attack only conscious. Then u may tame it from off its back and set it next to ur tamed animal then put him down so if anything attacks ur untamed u can attack it and ur Argentavis will kill it. Their stamina is amazing so u can travel across the map and they are pretty fast. They can carry a lot of weight so u can go on metal trips and carry it back on them. If u are on a online server these still apply but online these are also amazing creatures because u can live on it basally because all u need is one shelter and then u can set ur tame there after ur online.
Make sure when taming you clear the area of carnivore like dinos or it will die. And one of the best traps are the three stone gateways.
Its easy to knock it out useing a trap which takes 4 stone dino gate frame and 2 dino gates
You can place several Dino gates close to each other with gates in the furthest ones out to make a simple taming trap
You do not need to make a trap for this bird, all you need is a few arrows and if you have flak you can just spin around it and it won’t hit you much, once it runs away just snipe it, when it runs you only need to hit it one to two more times
When taming. Build 4 stone dinosaur gates all in a row with small gaps, the place a door on both ends. Kite the Argy into the pen while the door is open. However take a long run up as the Argy needs time to adjust to a straight line. When it is the trap with you, run through a gap and close the door. Lol it and enjoy!
This is actually about breeding and raising. When you breed them they don’t fly up they just walk so you can just put pillars around them. What I really wanted to post this comment for I how INSANELY long they take to breed, we hatched them and after 2 hours and 15 minutes and they are only 3.7% done
If you are a beginner you can actually tame a lvl 9 Argentavis with 5 narcotic and a few pieces of raw meat
Although I did this when I was a beginner and I was playing in a PVE-Easy Server...
2x3x4 enclosure, two Dino gates on X2 sides. 4 ceilings, 2 on each side.leave out the middle add 4 ramps in the same direction, can't get through the gap
