ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
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.
A raptor attacked mine and yeeted the raptor into the sea
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
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.
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.
A good level one is basically a sky Rex.
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!
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.
Is there a certain spot an argy would be located? If so plz tell me I'm playing mobile and I want one.
To tame this you need dinosaur gates about 6 and 2 of the door parts leave space between the dino gates just for you to escape run around the back then close the last door then use your darts and tame using raw meat or kibble
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.
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
Argentavis are your best friends when it comes to ark, as they are helpful in so many ways such as harvesting meat, taming other creatures & so much more.
They can pick up medium sized creatures and even have a healing ability when harvesting a dead body (only happens when your riding the argentavis or when your argentavis eats a body by itself.)
Argentavis also have a weight reduction of a lot of resources such as metal, obsidian, crystals and much more. Argentavis can also go long distances if you put points into stamina, they may not be the fastest flyer but I'd rather carry stuff in my Argentavis's inventory than running from a pack of raptors on foot.
And on top of all that, argentavis can be extremely tanky when it comes to combat, they have high damage and a lot of health.
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
I saw this YouTuber make a trap with one foundation, with double doorways placed two high on every side topped with a ceiling. Just make sure before the argy gets in you need to have only six or seven of the doorways placed so the big bird can get in. Once it’s in, place the last doorways and it will be trapped. Hope this is helpful.
If you want to tame one of these do the steps
1. Find a nice level you want to tame
2. Place 3 behemoth doors with no escape
3. Shoot with rifle
4. Place the door when it is inside the trap
5. Knock to out
6. Feed prime meat
7. Enjoy your new argy
If you are a new player and are not sure if you want to tame one read this
Its a must have flier its not very fast but is pretty strong and can carry A LOT
It also has reduced weight on some stuff so it can carry even more
And they are pretty easy to tame by just luring them in a simple and cheap trap for which you can find a tutorial on youtube
I tamed one today with no trap I had a mastercraft crossbow with tranq arrows and fur armor it was chasing me and I just kept running away and shooting it it knocked out with just 3 tranq arrows I tamed it with raw meat in 15 minutes but keep in mind the one I tamed was just a level 20
