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

It's a flying workbench! you can build weapons, ammo, armour, traps and even structures whilst flying along.

Their tough and can take a beating too.

I think another way to pick stuff up is that the thing you're picking up has to be dead or unconsious??? i dunno but i think so

Definitly the most needed tame in the entire game. They are great for solo, pvp, or multiplayer pve because of their base stats, wieght reduction, and heaing buff. They can be used in a reascource runer/meat&hide runner(all), pvp mount(pvp), traping partner(pvp and solo), or travel mount(all)

*BEST taming way* I found a 180 (that’s my wild max) then, lure it to your trap (4 Dino gate ways closely placed) when you lure it in close both opposite gates and escape (on ptrandon or barefoot out the slips), tranq dart it took me like 50 or sum) When unconscious starve a bit, then feed it prime meat, I got a 267 perfect js 269 if you want that make a ton of kibble but it’s a waste of time lol, have fun.

To those people who can't pick up stuff with their argy, I’m pretty sure you have to go to the part of the menu and assign the multi tap left/right to the alternate attack 2 or 3. Not sure which one it’ll be on the argy. But one of those should pick things up. Hope this helps! :D

How do you pick stuff up with this dude im waiting to get a saddle for my Aurum and Argentum (my argents) And i really want to pick some gallimimuses up and tame them (btw this is in mobile) i know someone else asked so it would help if someone knew how to thx

Does anyone know how to pick up dinosaurs with this bird, in ARK mobile??? I don’t know how to do it. It would be a GREAT tip since there is no proper answer in Google.

In ark mobile they can carry a baryonyx

1. Make them follow you

2. get hit once by them putting it in front of you

3. Move to the right or to the left making you and them move in a circle

4. Slowly chip there torpor

5. tame

Works on any level argent, and you can take little to almost no damage

It's easier to tame eqqus just pick it up and dump it in the trap

Does anyone knows why my argy cant pick up sabertooth or a dire wolf ia this a bug or something?

They are annoying but are useful for weight .only useful for a anchy farm

It can hit something it carries. Sprint at the same time to avoid taking too much damage - carried dinos do not attack you while you sprint.

These birds are OP. I killed a gigs with a level 45 one. If u play ark you need one of these bad boys

I found the eggs to need constant monitoring for the 45min incubation and I had 4 campfires going on and off every few minutes. Great utility bird
