What are tips for argentavis? Tips and strategies for argentavis in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Since they are scavengers you can just kill a large Dino and every Argie in the area will come for the corpse then just surprise tranq them.
Trap it sleep near it (single player) then knock it. Easy tame with only meat and little narcotics (for higher levels
Keep it at range trust me it has saved my life countless times
Found commonly on the dead island to the far northeast of the map me and my tribemate crafted a raft and set sail to the dead island from the southern islets it only took a few minutes before we got there my tribemate ran of to get some red treasure while I tamed the argy it was super easy I just shot it with my gg tranq arrow (mod easy taming) fed it some meat and boom bada boom it was tamed unfortunately our raft got destroyed so we had to make another one after that we had our argy! More about easy taming adds gg tranq arrow rapidly increases torpor and drains food available at level 1 for 0 engram points!
Pumping the health stat on them creates arguably one of the highest damage taker and giver when fighting big Dinos. A high level argy can easily take down an allosaurus, Rex, Diplo, bronto, and many many more. I usually like to get a high level one and go eliminate a few big dunks in the chalk hills on Valguero
I know normal raw meat works as well, but prime meat at least triple's the speed of their taming. I tamed a level 150 today and it took 3 pieces of raw prime meat to tame it. Hope this helps you guys with taming!
You can instant tame an arg, just need to almost knock it out, and check its torpor with a magnifiant glass, stop shooting it and give it a dead body. Once the arg eats it, shoot it really fast while it has its healing buff. If it’s knock out and still has its buff, the food will drain super fast. GLHF!
How To make an argy trap
You need this following things.
x4 stone gate way
x2 stone gate way doors
Place the 4 gate ways in a file make space in between the gaps so that you can go though. Place the 2 gate doors on each side. Leave one open and lure the argy in the trap ( try to take some hits so it does'nt lose interest). Once the Bird is in slip though the gaps that you made. go to the opened gate doors and close it as fast as you can. Ta da there your trap.
Extra. Try to shot at it from a range it can't attack you. Make sure that theres no bad things beat it. Chose a safe spot to tame. If you are confused go search. How to make an argy trap.
Ok so if you wanna tame one and it's in a group here's what you do. So because they only Argo to you if you hit them or come to close but if you stay just out of arho range they kinda just path on the you and slowly follow you so when you attack them the others wont attack you
If encountered do these two steps
1.Bola friend
2.Run
There are two traps for getting an argy trapped.
4x stone dinosaurs gateframe
2x reinforced dinosaurs gate.
The a other is the best because is really cheap. Look ok youtube "captain fat dog argentavis trap" its the best trap for argy, plus is 3 times cheaper
While they may be intimidating at first, the Argent is fairly easy creature to tame. Get three wooden dinosaur gateways and two gates and place them in a straight line, only leaving spaces big enough for a human to fit through and close one of the gates so it can't follow you straight through. Jump on your other flyer, be it a pterosaur or even another argent borrowed from someone. Lure the agent a couple of feet away until shes lined up just right and then sprint off behind the gate. Jump off your flyer and wait till shes in the trap, then run around and close the gate. After you check the area, tranq away and soon you'll have your very own argent
Me and my friend have about 50 of these from breeding. Just tamed 2 and let them breed. Eventually grew into an air force stronger than the US army, when combined with wyverns. We are going to try them out as a giga killing squad! Up if we should
In Ark: Survival Evolved (mobile) Argentavis is one of the best aerial tame in the game.
It has a 50% weight reduction to some resources in the game, meaning you can carry twice as much the following resources:
-Black Pearls
-Crystal
-Metal
-Metal Ingots
-Obsidian
-Organic Polymer
-Polymer
-Stone
Its saddle also acts as a mobile smithy.
I recommend leveling up its multiple Argentavis for different rolls. I normally have two rolls, one to gather resources and the other for combat.
Resource Gathering Roll:
-Primary: Stamina
-Secondary: Weight
-Tertiary: Movement Speed
Combat Roll
-Primary: Health
-Secondary: Melee
-Tertiary: Stamina
They can carry the following creatures:
-Human
-Dodo
-Dilophosaurus
-Kairuku
-Oviraptor
-Lystrosaurus
-Compsognathus
-Mesopithecus
-Jerboa
-Titanomyrma
-Dung Beetle
-Araneomorphus
-Titanoboa
-Phiomia
-Pachycephalosaurus
-Raptor
-Terror Bird
-Castoroides
-Pulmonoscorpius
-Beelzebufo
-Megaloceros
-Direwolf
-Sabertooth
-Arthropluera
-Procoptodon
-Diplocaulus
-Kaprosuchus
And the last thing i can think of is when they eat a dead creature they gain a buff to regenerate their health and stamina faster for a few seconds.
The reason rexes have a tek saddle is that rexes are famous. Same with megalodons and all the other things that have tek saddles. But really, let's be honest, almost nobody has tek saddles. You have to complete a hard dungeon to get a blueprint, or pay big bucks! At least those are the two ways i know of. Im on mobile btw. Really, argy's and spino's should get tek saddles, (you can find more info on argy tek saddle idea in argy, somebody left a tip about it, it has lots of likes so it's at the top too.) Because they're REALLY useful tames to have, in my opinion. I actully on two of each. Im going to put this tip in argy, spino and rex, so you will see it there. Please ^ if you want argy's and spino's to get tek saddles!
I was taming a level 135 on mobile, and ran to get some wood, and it disappeared. It was because of a stupid mobile bug. This is the second time it’s happened to me.
Their so slow you can Just shoot them with tranq arrows without a Trap or Something , even at pretty high Levels, Just be sure you are ready to Chase them for a short time If they start to flee
Extremely effective for resource gathering. After you get a Pteranadon, taming an Argy is your next priority.
To tame an Argy, I highly recommend prime meat, but just regular meat will do. If it's a high level you can build a trap, but if your a real man like me, you can go up against it face to face
Do not use an Argy for flying distances. Argys are terribly slow and are made for resource gathering. Do the traveling with a pteranadon.
So how do you tame an argy:
1. You will have to trap him
2. You will have to make it unconsious
3. You will give it food
4. You will wait (don't forget to give it some narcoberries)
5. Name it and it is yours
