They actually are at the eastern COASTS of Crystal isles. You dont have to go into the snow biom!

My argy despawned while it was taming

Trap it sleep near it (single player) then knock it. Easy tame with only meat and little narcotics (for higher levels

Put a saddle on one of these, they become a smithy.

Utility of the argentavis:

Jack of all trades: decent stat distribution, good attack, utility, and stamina.

Weight/long distance travel: high stamina, high stamina efficiency, and high weight stat

Material carrying: weight reduction on many materials like metal

Taming: has good attack to clear area and good health in case of getting assaulted by carnivores. Has weight to carry traps. Can also fly away in case of danger.

Regen: heals astoundingly fast after eating a corpse

Carrying dinos: able to grab mid-sized Dino’s like ankys and parasaurs.

Disadvantage:

Speed: much slower than other flyers like pteranodons

Difficulty to tame: found in dangerous areas (redwoods, snow, mountains, carno island)

Saddle: unlocked at a fairly high level of 62, and requires a lot of chitin/keratin

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.

GET AN ARGY NOW!!!

Lemme explain why:

1. Argies have so much stamina

2. Kinda slow but still fast enough

3. Damage stuff

4. Rapid Regen

5. Flying mount

6. Can kill basically anything when at high level (rexes, sarcos, etc.)

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

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!

NO NEED FOR A TRAP. CROSSBOW AND RUN BACK AND FORWARDS WILL DO JUST FINE

Pump as many points as possible into carry and stamina

How to tame and utility:Usually found in ‘cold’ areas of the map Argentavis have weight reduction on Metal,Organic Polymer and Stones.

To tame take some sort of flyer to the outskirts of the North Zone.From there wait for 1 of them to enter rapid regen (eating a corpse/dead body) as then they will consume food extremely quickly (at most 1 minute to fully tame)

So I was taming this lvl 140 female argie, checked it stats, saw the level 140 argie has 1950 stamina, double checked it, typed it in stats calculator and dude, 77 points in stamina?! that's unrealistic but it's real, i hope i can submit photos

Pretty easy but a little hard way on how to get an argy:

1. Get 12 stone doorframes, two stone foundations, two stone ceilings, tranqs, bio toxin or narcos, and taming weapon (preferably crossbow or long neck)

2. Place down two stone foundations (1x2) and place stone doorframes (two high) but leave one short side open, place two roofs to block top, and a ramp that leads into it if it makes it easier for you

3. Find the argy of choice and get its attention, run up the ramp (or jump into it) and make sure the argy follows into it, run to the back and place the last two stone doorframes and it should stay

4. Shoot it up through the holes, once its knocked, feed it its preferred food (kibble, prime meat, regular meat, etc) or starve it (dododex has starve timer and narcos needed)

5. Enjoy the argy

TAME AN ARGY WHEN U CAN BECAUSE THEY ARE AWESOME! They're great war birds (having overall great stats and a regen buff eating corpses) and transport birds (having stamina and weight at star levels and weight reduction for almost every heavy resource in the game). Easy to tame, the only downside is that u need 13 degrees to hatch their eggs.

Where flak and run around in circles while shooting at it. Super easy tame

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.

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!

Steps on how to tame a argentavis:

1. Build 4-5 stone gate frames place them in a straight line place then distant but not to distant or the Argentavis will fly through the top, build 2 reinforced gates and place one at the end leave the other one in your hot bar.

2. Get the argentavis attention, make him follow you into the trap and place the other gate then run through the side.

3. Use around 50 tranqs just in case you miss

Use a primitive crossbow.

4. There carnivores so they eat meat mutton/prime will work or kibble if you have!

There is a easier way to do this.

Just shoot the bird while he is following you when his torpor starts to get High he will try to fly away so trap might be better whichever way you prefer! -Boycicle

Anyone else think it would be cool if there were alpha argies so we could have alphas on the land sea and sky?
