Tips & Strategies

What are tips for argentavis? Tips and strategies for argentavis in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
For high level argys you will need to build a trap using 3 dinosaur gateways and 2 gates, but for low levels you can just dart them and wait for them to fall.
If you are on mobile or the island.
Climb the mountain in the redwood forest
Reccomend a journeyman bow with tranq arrows or something else with high torpor and a long range but a basic bow should work
Stand fairly far away from the argy it should look about as big as a flying pteradon.
Shoot the argy continuously as it flies towards you dodge if it gets too close otherwise keep shooting it until it faints. Very easy and pretty safe if you time it correctly the argy flees before it gets to hit you.
Their kibble is steep kibble in mobile not the normal kibble I saw asked so much time.
A common trap for Arial creatures in general is that you craft about 4 stone dino gateways, then place them in front of each other (so that it's just a straight row of gateways). The ones on the outside place a little farther away so that you can walk through the sides, then have gates on the outer gatways having one of them open so that the bird can fly in, once you find the bird of choice, kite it into the trap, go through the side space that is larger on the end, and quickly go round to the open gate to close it and now you have easy tame stuck inside your trap. (You can modify this if you want, particularly the size of the gateways for the bigger creatures and it can be used for terrestrial creatures too if you want)
Ok, so everybody knows Argies are slow af. You don’t need a trap if you have movementspeed above 134%! (At least I don’t use them) just run away for a time, turn around, shout about 3-4 arrows , repeat!
Hey don’t bother with traps just get tranquility dart and rifle or bow and tranquility arrows. Great tame. Just remember to keep other tames away or passive.
Using tranq arrows or darts does the job quickly. Try and get it in an open area and shoot it. It'll fly away when it's about to fall asleep. One tranq arrows while it's flying away and it should be knocked out.
Argentavis is my favorite Mid-Game flyer. I don’t remember exactly how I tamed my argent, but I remember I was at the big rock near brawler’s bay and had a 3x soothing balm. Few days later and my Argentavis was my Hunter, Tank, Attacker, and basically my Main Tame. The only thing stopping it from being my absolute best tame was her low speed and Sub-par weight.
Is there a certain spot an argy would be located? If so plz tell me I'm playing mobile and I want one.
Easy trap to tame an argy!
Make four wooden gate frames and two gates. Place them, one in front of the other and make sure the gaps between them aren't big enough for the argy to escape. Put a gate on the first and last doorframe. Close the last door and leave the entrance open. Aggro the argy and lead it in the trap, once its inside close the gate. You can exit the trap from the gaps between the gate frames.
Then you can just knock it out!
Warning: don't leave the argentavis in the trap for too long without knocking it out because it can break wood
In MOBILE this does NOT fut through the 1 x 2 at all!
Up so peeps can see
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

Tbh with y’all, Argies are really cute and very easy to tame. All u have to do is knock it out using tranq darts (or tranq arrows) about 3-5 and then when they r unconscious js get sum meat and put it in him or her and it won’t take very long. And same with breeding, js get a female and a male Argie, set them both to wander, and when they r finished doing whatever they have to do, watch ur egg hatch! WARNING ⚠️: The egg can die if it gets too hot, so watch out for that and u’ll be fine. I’ve bred many and have 4 baby argies and 7 or 8 adult ones! Good luck taming and breeding 👍
Head to carnivore island on other side of the island usually like 5 spawn, beware of raptors sabers carnos rex's and scorpions but yeah other than that good luck
A good level one is basically a sky Rex.
Scrolled for a bit and didn’t see this but if you want to tame these amazing flyers wait for them to enter rapid regen (eat a corpse) from there tranq it out and if it’s still in rapid regen when unconscious it will eat food and tame incredibly fast (under a minute for most)
My absolute favorite creature in the whole game. I always get an argy as soon as I’m able. High health and damage, great carrying weight (especially for metal/crystal/etc.), looks regal af, and it gets a regen boost from eating corpses (which can restore its stamina in mid air, I’m not kidding, I’ve had it happen). Can carry a good few bigger dinos, too.
My argy is named Bloodwing and I love her to death. Highly recommend.
