Tips & Strategies

What are tips for argentavis? Tips and strategies for argentavis in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Best method in my opinion:
Get a flyer such a pterodon but a tappy would be better.
Get a decent crossbow or a primitive longneck. Shoot with tranqs and feed food if your choice
MOBILE Argy trap (also works for ROYAL griffin, tested on both):
Takes 4 stone gate frames, one reinforced gate, and 3 stone pillars. Pick a spot that is flat and also away from any predators, including compy and dilo. Face going the same way you plan to fly them in, so that gate opens in. Place first frame then slowly walk forward until the frame isn't snapping at weird angles and place it, this gets the spacing right. After placing 4th frame, put pillar right in the middle of it, then stack the other 2. Now walk backwards until you can place the gate in the first frame, I place a torch out front a ways to locate more easily. You now have a perfect Argy trap.
Using pteranodon, agro the Argy then lead in low and slow, opening the gate when you reach it. Pteranodon can slip right through but Argy cannot. Land and hop off, while Argy stays agro on your mount, run back and close the gate.
For taming, shoot with tranqs to partially torpor, sleep, then KO, balm, and rapid tame with raw prime meat (stego is my goto).
-Good Luck
Every one says you need the Dino doors, You DONT it’s SO easy al you have to do is kill something Agro the Argie the lead it to the body let it eat the body then tranq the fart out of it and then feed it meat no Prime required! Then you have an Argentavis and they are super helpful they can carry dinos and fly long distance and they do good damage I HIGHLY recommend getting one, unless you plan on breeding however then get a male and female and the put on wander. Sorry this was so long I hope I helped y’all!
Often finds the in top of mountains..
To trap team do three or four dinosaur gates in a row close to each other and at the end to place the doors to the gates
Here's a budget way of taming an Argy: You'll be needing 4 stone pillars, 3 stone roofs, 3 stone fence foundations and 3 stone doorframes.
To make the trap, first start by placing a pillar, then snap another next to it, after that, place 1 pillar each. Secondly, place 1 fence foundation at both sides, this should make it have a square-type shape. Next, place the last fence foundation at the middle-end at the side of the fence foundations. This will be where you lure the Argy in. Then, place the 2 doorframes at the 2 fence foundations at the side. After that, place 3 roofs in a L-shape facing outwards covering the trap ceiling.
Lure the desired Argy into the trap and place the last doorframe.

When luring into a pen the pelagornis is better than the pteranodon because it can fly longer and it's slightly slower speed helps prevent the argy from losing aggro. It may be a good idea to keep a carbonemys or something in the trap to keep the argent occupied while you close the gate.
Bring it a dead animals, as then wild or tamed their food bar will start to drain. Knocking it out then after it has eaten something and still has the healing effect. They will have 0 food and will take very quick
Fun fact: If you have an ascendant 305.4dmg crossbow it take four tranq arrows for a lvl 140
Run around in circles while shooting cause they can't turn in a 360 degree circle easily
favorite pvp mount easily, wit decent stats in good hands you can easily wipe out a large number of players. Good weight Stam and hp. depending on the type your aiming for, a farming argy I recommend around 5-10 levels into speed, 40-ish into weight and the rest whatever you want (melee, more speed, hp and stam.) A pvp argy you want to max its speed, you can do this by getting notes or killing alphas, (they give the most xp) next you should work on its health and melee damage. Like I said this bird can be unstoppable givin good stats and pilot. Hope this helps <3
I tamed a level 20 by accidentally starve taming it. I had shot it with all the tranqs needed, but I was running, so by the time it went out it was on top of a big rock, forcing me to build a that structure and a ton of ladder up to it. Lol it tamed real fast once I got to it because I had a vulture filled with mutton on follow.
If you’re having trouble finding the Argie on Ark Survival Evolved (Mobile), I find it is most common near the top of mountains in the redwood forests (Middle of the island). An easy way to escape if you’ve aggravated the Argie is try to fly away on a pteradon. Good luck!
