If you see one of these you can easily out run them but be careful there are other dangerous things around them. So to be safe always bring a pterodactyl
These guys are actually pretty easy to tame if you have the right equipment. When trying to capture one to tame I find the easiest way is just shooting them with a couple of tranq arrows (it takes less than 10 most of the time and they are pretty slow so you can sprint a bit ahead a shoot from there) another way is to bola them with a metal bola but you need a ballista turret and it takes a lot more recourses. Beforehand, you should probably already have a saddle made so once it’s tamed you can just ride it and not have to worry about getting killed on the way back to your base. Also, make sure you have some stego egg kibble to put in its inventory cause it’s fairly easy to tame if you do. One last thing you’ll also want to do is make a few spike walls to place around you and your mount while it’s taming especially if your in a dangerous area where your easily attacked. ( I’ve learned from experience) Good Luck!
In carno island, these things spawn EVERYWHERE. Every time I go there I see like more than three, and they usually fight carnos, or a group of them can take on rexes.
Can you please add in the time for bacon on primitive + for the PS4 And Xbox One?
These guys despawn when you go to far from it.
When taming, ALWAYS put wooden spiked walls, multiplayer or not. I HAD TO TAME AN ARGY 4 TIMES BC IT KEPT DYING😭😭😡😡😡😡😡
MOST PEOPLE WILL RECOMMEND USING THREE STONE GATES AND TWO DOORS AS AN ARGY TRAP!
I also did tried it to trap a wild 300 lvl argy,but you know? I ended up getting killed by it.The thing is the door closes very slowly and creates time for the argy to escape.
So what you should do is make three stone gate,one door,three stone pillar
Place the three doors in a line , and don't place the door, instead put it on your hotbar.
Now at the last gate place the three pillars right at the center of it , this creates a gap for you to run and not an argy.
Now as usual, lure one into the trap,
Once you escape through the gaps between the pillars quickly run back and place it.
Placing a door is quicker than closing one that already got placed. I tamed the wild one using this trap. It's very effective.
And don't forget to test it before trying.
I tried a few times to tame one and it was a nightmare. Here is what happened:
-First I tried to get close with my ptera and it got attacked. It doesn't matter how powerfull your ptera is, an argy level 2 will kill it!
-After that I landed in a safe place, but when I shooted an argy, I got attacked by it AND a few "saberteeth". They cut me like a piece of paper!
-Long story short, I knocked an argy out but it got eated in front of me by those same angry cats!!
-I parked my ptera in a safe place (check). I climbed so the cat didn't catch me (check). I foud a good argy and tried to knock it out, but when I moved a bit to aim, I FELL FROM THE FORKING MOUNTAIN AND DIED!!!!!!
After a few days I tamed a spino and found it easier.
Up if you want to say F.
Stay away from all the stuff that you can eat you
Watch out for these guys they will beat yu, best way to get rid of them is run or hit them with stun arrows they are basically impossible to kill by hand they automatically heal.
These things are great for getting other tamed. This is because they can pick up most animals and drop them into taming pins, and have a lot of health in case the taming goes wrong in some way, which can also allow them to defend your unconscious tame. I highly recommended it.
How to insta tame first trap argy and look on Dododex and shoot it all times but the last then place sleeping bag die drag body to argy have argy eat body the tranq out put meat in it and boom you have a argy ——CaptainAwsomeD
To the person who's having trouble with their argy egg: You can also just incubate the egg when it's nightime, if you live on the beach. When the egg gets too cold, Pull out a torch. When it eventully says the torch is too cold, put it away and light a nearby campfire or standing torch. Once it says that's too hot, put out the campfire or standing torch and pull out the torch. Once that's too hot, put away the torch and let it incubate. Once it's too hot again, take the egg and wait for nighttime again, and repeat until the egg is hatched. Note: At the start of the night, you won't need a torch, the egg will incubate automatically. This works, that's how i hatched my twin males. It's a long strategy, but if you live on the beach you might not want to go all the way to the dangerous arctic to hatch your egg. Hope this helps!
The Argy is not just an amazing beginning tame, but also a mid and end game tame. Even after you get tekgrams(blueprints after you kill bosses) or even if you have tek, you will still use them. They are the best for PvP because they are slow, but they reduce metal, crystal, stone, and obsidian by half and if you have an Anky(spike ball tail dino) it will also reduce the metal by 50%. That's why you see people using these two dinos together because the weight after you pick up the anky will be 25% of the actual weight. Here's a tip, just use 3 to 4 stone gates and two gate doors( don't use behemoth) to trap it with tranqs or darts. If you don't want to wait for it to starve before you tame then when it runs away or is high torpor drag a dead body, player, dino whatever and let it eat it. Knock it out before the green glow disappears and it'll have almost 0 food. Have a great day.
