What are tips for argentavis? Tips and strategies for argentavis in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
There are ALOT of argies on Dead Island (aka Carno Island) it’s practically overopulated with them! But be careful, carno island is very dangerous, so you might wanna bring a quetz or something to carry them to a safer area
A good spot for Argys on lost island are usually 44 35 hop this helps
To that one dude who used ancient Amber's to buy soothing balms. Tip for you dude just go for the artifacts and do the save trick to manipulate the reward that the artifact tribute will give you to get 10x soothing balms
Do not get picked ooooffff you dead
If you are too scared of it dying while knocked out just lure it to an spot far from the mountains and have there an trap keep reaggroing it and trap it or if it's an low level just tranq it
The Lord of all Birds..has saved me more times than can count. Very noble and magnificent creature and can haul the weight of the world on its wings. To tame just build a bird cage as tall as a stone gate way (not behemoth) and about 4 foundations size. Remember to put a ceiling and the walls should be just door frames not solid walls so you can escape after you lead it into the cage. Then once its in the cage and you escape through the door frame, go around to the front of the cage and close the door. Once trapped it just takes about 30-45 well placed tranq arrows to the head or body and it will be KO'd, even level 150. Get some raw or prime meat to tame it. You may want to leave the area for about 15 -18 minutes and then return once you found enough prime meat to feed it.. since it would be hungry by then and ready to eat. Its torpor drains very slow so dont worry about narcotic.
easiest tame method: 3 gateframes 2 gates (doesnt matter which material), build them in a about 1m distance (so it cant fit) then choose one gate to be open and one closed, so just place 1 gate, then lure the argy into the 3 gateframes and place the gate at the outer gateframe. tranq it and before its knocked, place a sleeping bag, let it kill you, tranq it dead and you can instantly tame it because it lost all of its food.
your trap should look like this
Legend: i = gateframe
Legend: I=gateframe with gate in it
I i i
before you tame it
IiI when its in
just a crossbow will do i guess. you can do it with a bow but thats Ressource waste
All you have to do is wait for it to have the green cloud around
It then you have to ko it then you can starve tame it
That is how I got mine.
If it's a low level its an easy tame. Knocked out and tamed a low level (something like lvl 12) with 3-4 tranq arrows. I used a crossbow.
Once you have one knocked out you can use nearby Argents as a source of prime meat for a quick tame
If you are trying to tame one kill a creature (parasaur) and traq it while it’s distracted by the body once granted I advise using kibble if your a late game player (or prime meat)
(Mobile) I just got one of these at like lvl 45, here’s how I did it!
I used a ptera to aggro it by attacking, and then I simply lured it to a safe location, where I tranqed it out. Seriously, this method is almost too easy. All you need to do is peck at the argy if it loses interest, and you can take it anywhere! I only had the willpower to lure into a relatively safe patch of grass near the redwoods, but with enough skill you could probably do more than that.
