What are tips for argentavis? Tips and strategies for argentavis in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
This Dino is extremely good mid game because it can carry sabertooths dire wolfs etc, it also has good weight so you can take it on metal runs
Set up a ballista on your base if you live near where they spawn, and shoot them out of the sky using Chain Bolas. Be sure not to let them fall from too high, as they could easily die.
In my opinion, nothing beats an Argentavis when It comes to collect Prime Meat, Fish or Normal. Helpful in Scorched Earth(Used to steal Wyvern Eggs), but you'd need to be real fast or real lucky to get away from one. I once had a large cage full of them(if I remember, I had 9.), and I rarely was defeated with them(NOOOOOO MANTICORE), but overall, they are a truly amazing creature in the game.
When you have KO the tame put a wood spike fence around it to protect from other dinos
For easy kill, hide in the water and shoot out with crossbow or use a pike. It won't often be able to reach you from piking range
To knock out very efficiently, have a high health pteranodon and lure it to a mountain or safe place for you and let a friend shoot tranq it while you fly in circles and let it hit you. Easy. By the time it stays running, you should of put enough shots in to get it a few seconds after it runs
On the Island there are lots of them on the eastern side of the north-west mountain, where you can aggro them with your Ptera and lure them to the near beach. Kill more argies for prime meat and fast taming.
If no trap is near, kite the argy around in a circle. It's AOE won't be able to hit you.
Make a pin with the Dino gate having at least 2 foundation on the right and left. Once inside the Dino gate ensure its 3 walls long atleast. Draw the argy in than do a cycle if on a bird fly out and make a hard right. This will distract it so you can jump off and close the door. Ensure you have a door way into the structure and star shooting it. Wait 10 sec for a 100+ between shots. Easy solo tame
These birds have fantastic weight and could be a great use of your time to get one. If you do decide to tame an Argentavis, consider taming a Pteranodonand getting the narcotics, and tranquilizers in advance since they usually live near mountains with many dangerous dinos and mammals. A trick me and some friends use for taming these is have it follow one person on a bird or just in general if you don't have one, and have the other person shoot it. If it begins to lose interest and fly away, we attack it to make it follow us again. Since usually they have very low torpor, headshots make it really easy to conserver arrows if you're a new player.
When taming an argent make sure to always have a fast mount and a reliable mount that can get you a lot of meat and prime meat.
Once trapped in a dino gate trap, use tranq arrows carefully untill the argy starts trying to run, then throw a dead dino such as a dodo or monkey and let it eat it, then light it up with tranqs till its knocked out. When the argy is KOed its hunger will have diminished to a almost starving level, go kill some dinos that drop prime meat, you have about 4 minutes to get the meat and feed the argy, this is the most efficient way and it also adds to your tame effectiveness leveling the argy even more.
As of TLC Patch 2, the headshot modifier is no longer a thing, tested on multiple argues with all weapons.
Really useful but be prepared if you try to tame one
I was going to the mountain in the red wood forest when i saw a bunch of these birds. I was still new so i didnt know if they would try to kill me or not. I ended up tameing one about an hour later.
I recommend a pelagornis . Build a 2 wall high box with a T shaped hole and when its inside closed the hole and tranq it
