What are tips for argentavis? Tips and strategies for argentavis in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Using it is underrated and good and need darts to noked out
The Argentavis is THE metal run creature. It's high weight, plus the ability to pick up ankylosaurus, make it one of, if not THE best at what it does. If you find yourself in need of transporting large amounts of material, an argentavis is usually your go-to. They aren't very good at travel, as they are rather slow. However, their high base weight, stamina, and their reduction in weight on many materials, make them some of the best haulers and farmers you can find.

Check captain fatdog for the best argy trap
If you taming an argie of any level doing bother using a trap.
I just use any fast mount like a raptor, iguanodon and even a Sarco could do the job and I blast it with arrows. Hit and run, hit and run.
By the way I got a 150 argie with this method on a sarco so it works quite well.
Dododex Says you can't knock it out with fists cause 100% chance of death but they are wrong. I just did it on official ASA with a level 90. The trick is you have to let the argy periodically eat your body to regen health. I had to die like 10+ times but it is doable. Some of those deaths were not intentional tho.
Anyway the method is simple (ASA)
Build
-one stone foundation
-three stone walls
-one slanted stone roof
Drop foundation. Put 2 walls down next 2 eachother as double wide doorways. And the 3rd as a secret door. Attach the roof to the middle wall extending out toward the unused opening acting as a funnel. Find low argy. Lure into opening. Go out thru secret door as it follows you in. Viola. Trapped argy. Now position yourself behind the secret door so that your punches hit but his attacks don't and Bam. You k.o. an argy beach Bob style day 1 with limited supplies. You may however want a few beds tho because as I stated. You will be dying a lot and feeding it your own body to keep its health up.
There is however one caveat. Flyers do not like staying in traps with no players in render distance. So you do need somebody to stay nearby to ensure he doesn't fly away when you die.
If you have it trapped let it wake up. Knock it out with tranq arrows. For example a 135 takes 21 arrows and 102 narcotic to keep unconscious. If you use the 21 arrows to knock it out let it wake up and use another 21 arrows to knock it again it will be ready to eat before the second time it wakes. Saves about 60 narcotic in the l process.
Iff your on mobile it's way easier
I still recommend a trap tho
Like the one with 3 stone Dino gateways
1: build the argy trap
could be any kind but recommend the one I was just talking about
So you place the Dino gateways like behind each other
But don't place the door that's facing the argy yet
2: lure the argy into the trap
Again I'm talking about that Dino gateway trap
So stand in the gateway
Shoot the argy and he should be flying towards u
Then move backwards and equip the door but don't place it yet
Iff the argy is in the trap with u then place the door and get out of that trap
3: KO
now just shoot tranq darts or arrows until its knock out
Renember I'm talking about mobile not pc
So then soothing balm and just feed him kibble or meat or prime really doesn't matter
Anyway chuck a saddle on it and you can fly
Anyway it has a around 110% movement speed
Reduces 50 % weight on crystals and other
Idk the health check it yourself
And unlike the pte it can attack while on the ground
And it can attack in the sky
What I mean by that is when you pick up a wild Dino you can basically just attack while your holding it
So yeah
I hope you hated reading this
Bc almost everybody should hate reading
And I hope it helped
Easy rg trap:
Requirements: 3 stone dinosaur gates, 1 reinforced dinosaur gateway, 3 stone pillars and ideally a pt (does not have to be good)
Execution: Once you have found your rg kill all surrounding creatures (leave some bodies for prime meat) then place the 3 stone gateways one by one to make a corridor (leaving a decent gap but not very big) then place the three pillars at the end of the corridor in the center the rg can not fly through this gap but the pt can (test before to make sure you got this right then make sure the gate door is on your hotbar. Go agro the rg with the pt (without hitting it just go near it) then lead it into the trap (remembering to wait for it and keep its agro) and fly out the end then dismount and run around the back to place the gate leave (pt on passive just in case and there we are trapped rg.
If breeding and you have a good male and looking to baseline with a female, when you hatch a female walk it near the full grown male and enable breeding on female when she's done growing she'll instantly lay a fertilized egg...
Just use 15 metal bolas and a basilli turret and catch them
Also place spikes around them while taming ( for safety)
( it is possible that they are with 2 or 3)
