HOW TO GET IT TAMED FAST! First get soothing balm! You can do this by going into any cave and grabbing the artifact! You don’t have to make it out the cave alive btw! Then tribute so you get rewards but before you do! Save curent game then tribute, so that way you can get easy soothing balm by restoring if you dies t get it! Easy words for this is: get balm by saving game then tribute and restore game until you get balm! You can also just save game in caves to not fight monsters, because when you save they go away!

MAKE THE ARROW POINT TOWARDS SOMETHING ABOVE YOU IF THIS WAS HELPFUL! also you need some raw meat to feed it, and the purple balm. By:Just your fellow helper
You can normally outrun an argie but still try and keep your distance
An Argentavis is a very easy beginner tame. To tame it you will have to have:
-crossbow or bow
-at least 10 tranq arrows
-3+ raw fish meat (prime works better)
-20+ lvls
-health upgraded at least 7 times
Argentavis spawn on almost all ARK maps, and are very common, so it should be relatively easy to find one. They look like bulky eagles that prowl around on the ground or, more commonly, swoop around in the sky. Here’s what you need to do to tame one.
1: Find an Argentavis
2: Load the tranq arrows into your bow (if you haven’t already done it
3: Take aim at the Argentavis and fire
Here’s a tip. If you find one and it’s scavenging, that is the best possible time to shoot at it. Do not shoot at it while it is fighting other dinosaurs, because if you do and knock it unconscious, the other dino/s will demolish it. It is best to catch it alone while it is eating, because there is a chance it will not chase you.
4: Run as the Argentavis chases you (if it doesn’t, shoot again)
5: When it stops chasing you, go back and shoot at it again
6: Repeat until unconscious
7: Put fish in Argentavis inventory
8: Wait until tamed
9: You have an Argentavis!
IRL Dino Facts
Argentavis Magnificens, an extinct species, was one of the largest birds to ever live. They lived in the Late Miocene in early Argentina and had an enormous wingspan of 5.09 to 6.5m. Argentavis lived off a diet of carrion (dead animals) and their territories might have been around 500 square metres. Another extinct bird, Pelagornis Sandersi, had a wider wingspan that Argentavis, and their wingspan would have measured about 7 to 7.4m. Argentavis was a soaring bird. Its lifestyle would have been very much like the Andean Condor, a modern-day non-extinct type of condor. Argentavis might have used mountain slopes to take off, because the muscles in its chest were not built for much flapping. Argentavis laid 1 to 2 eggs every year, each one smaller than an ostrich egg despite their size. The young became independent at 16 months old, but they were not full grown until they turned 12. Because of its size, Argentavis would have had no natural predators, so most died of sickness or old age. Size estimates are:
Wingspan: 5.09-6.5 m (16 ft 8 in - 21 ft 4 in)
Length: 3.5 m (11 ft 6 in)
Height: 1.5-1.8 m (4 ft 11 in - 5 ft 11 in)
Weight: 70-72 kg (154 lb - 159 lb)

Where flak and run around in circles while shooting at it. Super easy tame
Just shoot with tranqs and if it gets too close run away, they fly really slow
Anyone else think it would be cool if there were alpha argies so we could have alphas on the land sea and sky?
KNOUCK THEM WITH NORMAL CROWBOW!! TRUST ME JUST DO IT WITH NORMAL ONE! So I made a trap and lore the argy in it and when I was shooting him with my Mastercraft crow bow she died. And I lore a another one and he died too!
When it eat the corpse it get a regeneration buff, so if you knock it our while it's still regenerating it's food will be drained so you can easily tane it. That's what I did for my 204 wild argie
Sooo. Today my Argent glitched in to the sky lord cave. How an argy can squeeze into the opening is beyond me. I couldn’t access his inventory or ride him. I guess Scout (her name) flew into a pit and was killed. All I could do is watch the 5k damage pop up and gasp. I lost over 500 obsidian 200 polymer and 500 crystal. I did however gather the artifact but now I’m stuck in the snow biome with no way home. RIP Scout.
Easy Trap works with wood best with stone
What you need 1Foundation 1Celing and 8 door frames
1place foundation
2 place door frames around the foundation 2 up 3 around make sure there’s a gap on one side
3 place ceiling
4 Then lead the argentavis in the trap and place doorframes over the hole. Haven’t tested on ASA yet
Make trap by using four stone gateways and two gates. Place the gateways with enough room between for you to get out and not the argy. Then place the gates.
Spawns in the mountain tundra area
I managed to tame 3 decent level argentavis with my tribemate without a trap.So you only need to take taming weapons and narcotics.
My argy despawned while it was taming
If you are low on hp on a travel(say, to a metal rich area or another resource rich area), you can hunt a creature to get food. If you feed the argy a corpse, it will gain rapid regeneration, which can be useful for recovering hp during combat or if you have to land in a dangerous area.
