Argys aré one of the best tames, they can pick up anky's (who have like, Weight reduction on metal and obsidian if im not wrong) and be used to farm metal like crazy.

If on aberration, karkinos Is also good because It can pick two anky's and farm metal like crazy x2 whit the con of Weight and not being a flyer.

Argys aré pretty tanky and great fighters.

Theire saddle also permits them to be flying small bases due to It being a forge.

Theyre quite easy tames due to not being fast and because if theire dying you can feed them any corpse.

A trap made out of four-five wooden/stone normal Gates, two doors for these and placed infront of each other wide enough to be passed trought by you or a small tame like a raptor and you'll have one in no time.

Mobile Argy Taming Guide:

Step 1. Go to the top of the volcano and start to make a trap out of either; 3 stone dino gates + 2 reinforced/normal dino doors

Step 2. Get a pteranodon + saddle and find ur argy, attack the argy so that it will follow you (argys have bad following distance to u may need to attack more then once) once its followed tou to top of volcano lead it into you trap, once in close the gates and get a good distance away from it so it dosent attack.

Step 3. Make a tiny box house place a bed or sleeping bag into it and sleep, after u wake up start to tranq the argy, when asleep the argy will have no food in so put ur meat inside the argy and it shouldnt take a while to tame, once done u have ur very own argy!

Extra Tip. If u get a breeding pair breed them at the top of the volcano since it will only require 1-3 torchesto incubate, once fully grown the original female will be ready to mate again!

I just tamed up a boyfriend for my female argy and I named him striker all you need to do to tame one is get some tranq arrows and meat you only need nine arrows depending on it's level once it's nocked out just feed it meat and you have an argy up this if it helps.

Argentavis can no longer be tamed using the starve method in which you activate the regen buff before you knock it out so it drains all of its food. It’s been patched my friends.

A Jack-Of-All-Trades, the argentav(is) a must have 😉. It has a 50% weight reduction on metal, crystal, AND obsidian. With an Amazing weight and melee stat, after a while you can make up for it's snail's-pace by putting the rest of its levels into speed. For a trap, look up "Captain Fatdog Argy Trap" CF is an amazing tutor for dino traps galore! Signed -Mantyll

If you on ark mobile use you ancient amber to buy soothing balms they are the only reason why I have one and it is super worth it

Is flys! :D

I have to put this here

So it took me forever to figure this out, but picking up raptors and terror birds in its claws then spamming the attack ... both useful AND fun!

It’s really easy to tame these early game even if you can’t ride them yet, I’ve had them as a air defense for a bit, just make a 2x2 or 3x3, bottom walls are actually doorways and top ones are actual walls and don’t forget the roof, leave one wall completely open and have a friend or yourself shoot the argy with a tranq and run in and block off the wall, they’ll damage the walls but won’t break, I’ve done this with a 145 argy

Real people tame this on the redwood mountain with no trap and just fish meat and tranq arrows.

Great creature to have overall. I tamed a level 70 that SHOULD have been a level 110 after the tame, and as it was eating, I left to get more prime meat and when I came back, 2 sabers were attacking it. It lost efficiency and at the end of the tame, it was level 80. I put absolutely no attack nor health(health was around 1300), and I was attacked by a level 5 alpha raptor with 3800 hp. I decided to fight it cause my arge was a low level anyway, and I won! Other things attacked and whatever I killed, i healed from the carcass, so I was healing while fighting it, (I was landed during the while fight) AND, with every attack, it pushed back the raptor, so it barely even hit me. Very good👌🏽

Before taking, kill off other hostile Dino’s around the area so nothing will bother your tame

I was so lucky with taming me first one, as soon as it was close to being knocked out it flew away and I ran out of darts, it glitched into a wall and I was able to punch it unconscious lol 🤣

There is no point to have a trap have a pt and shoot it fly away make it follow you then shot it again then repeat

What they don’t tell you is that the head hit box is so small that you’ll end up getting a body shot no matter what so make sure you have more than enough tranqs

These guys are good for killing sarcos, brontos and diplos. Cause the brontos and the diplos do basically no damage and the you can just dive bomb the sarco.

I always find the easiest way to k.o them is pulling them to the top of the volcano and running towards its feet fired darts or arrows. At the top when they attempt to run away they don't really fly up.

If you already tamed this it could a Smithy alternative

They can carry Daeadons. Useful for taming

.

I’ve heard lots of people say you need a trap to tame this guy but all you really have to go is put like 3-10 tranq arrows into it depending on its level
