What are tips for argentavis? Tips and strategies for argentavis in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
This thing was an amazing tame for me! With a lot of upgrades put in towards health and damage I have been able to defeat two alpha rexes, three alpha carnos, and MANY alpha raptors. Also putting in stamina for It I had a tribemate pick me up and was able to bring down a level 36 quetzal. These things are OP! It’s horrible you can’t bring them in to fight the bosses. It would be an easy fight because they can’t reach me. Except for the dragon.
Build 4 Dino gates with enough room to fly a pt through or just yourself on foot, put a Dino gate on front and rear Dino gate keep one shut depending what side you're running the argy into, dash through the gap close the other gate. Much easier and faster than building elaborate pens with 30+ doorways etc can be thrown up anywhere so you can tame far away from your usual spot.
You can easily find then in high mountain-areas bring a pteradon as your back up the shoot it with tranquil arrows/darts and bring steggokibble and a few narcotics just in case. Then protect your tame so it does not fall as prey to other carnivores. Always start with a low level then once your level'd up go for the higher ones. Don't forget to bring the saddle!. And lastly please make sure your tough enough to face the surrounding area
Careful if you tame one without a saddle, I lost my first one to a Baryonyx on the way back to my base.
Always have tranq. Arrows at hand these birds are annoying
So everybody is aware that sometimes something will attack the argy and if you have the argy in neutral, they'll take it on, sucks when your set up near the mountain and a wild argy attacks because you got too close or vice versa, so you see them in the sky fighting, your argy wins, now it's stuck in the air and not landing when you call it. Use a spyglass to look at him then command him to follow, this can work on any game that's yours. Argys are just the worst though.
Taming pen tip: put ceilings around the perimeter of the taming pen and an extra exit so you can easily get around and shoot down so you don't have to go down to the bottom of a pen to knock the dino out. Also, make sure to pump stamina, weight and a little health on your taming Argentavis!
Build a taming cage for it and a eat a rare flower while in the cage so you can lure it in the cage.trn from there it's a easy)KO but make sure to wait between taking shoots using tranquility arrows.
Lure one from carnivore island using a pteranodon so you can tame it without the dangers of the deadly dinosaurs.
Just tamed a level 1 with normal raw meat. Took no narcotics at all. It's torpidity didn't even drop below half way. Yet according to this guide it needs 6 narcotics for a level 1.
Build a cage with stone pillars and a small dinosaur gate on a boat. Sail to their spawn and lure them in.
These birds usually spawn in dangerous places, lure them out to somewhere safe and start to tranq it.
