First I recommend tranq arrows not darts

2.knock out

3.don’t use meat use fish or prime meat

4. Boom tamed a great flyer

You knock it out then put meat in it. :^

Take a couple tranq arrows and hit it a couple times but be ready they attack

When it starts to fly away hit it a couple more times

Then put a couple meat stacks in the invo and bio toxin

Then you have a a Argentavis

With my squad of 5 Argys, while it wasnt the most o could bring back, i brought back over 1k metal,with some obsidian and crystal to boot! Super useful all around

Step 1:tame a flyer that you’re willing to sacrifice

Step 2:find an argentavis to tame I recommend going to the frozen tooth but bring campfires

Step 3:get the argies’ attention with the sacrificial tame

Step 4: land at your preferred taming spot

Step 5:get away from the tame and let the argy start killing it whilst you shoot it with darts or tranq arrows

Step 6:put its kibble or meat in its inventory

Step 7:you will now have an ARGENTAVIS!!!!

Shoot with a tranq arrow and dodge its incoming attack. 3 tranqs from a primitive x-bow koed a level 7. Hope this helps!

i was able to knock one out with about 3 toxicant arrows then just built walls around it to rpotect it while taming i prefer using a bow rather than crossbow since it has a fast reload.

The thing I found easiest is to use a distraction dino, such as a few dodos, and just set them in front of you so the agrent will agro on it for a moment. Maybe not long, but it did long enough for me to be able to knock it out

Not the best tame to kill and gather meat with, however, an argy's carry weight helps a ton with gathering and also carrying many other dinos.

My first flyer was the Argy. They’re literally just a flying smithing table.

An very easy way to get metal using Argy is riding on any flyer then whistling follow to about 3 or more argys (I use tapejera as a flyer) then taking them to lava mountain . Remember to put lots of woods in argys inventory. Make an smelting place + storage at the top of the mountain put those woods in the forge . And request an anky to there then just mine all the metal with anky and put most of them to smelt and take out other in the Argy . And take them back to home. And let the other metal to smelt at your base. After a few in game days get back to that mountain with those argys and carry all the iron back to base .

Taming a BIG BIRD - - - argentavis]]

Get Your around 40/27 TRANQS/Tranquilizer DARTS

THEN get 20/40 Narcotics

+ Tip (there really slow so you can do it on foot)

- thing( It’s Also a down side That there speed sucks)( They are still useful as there weight is rlly good so take a spin off of a metal run with it

Anyways bring kibble or prime meat!(if ur low raw meat still works)

Anyways there usually at mountains and all the cool stuff but they also spawn at region dead island!)

(Ways to tame them)

Most recommended( Make a argy trap you will need[ 2/4 Dinosaur gate[And two dinosaur gate door ways]

Next one![ if ur a bit speedy and can Live doin this one maybe you can Shoot them on tranq(least recommend one( they can run away pretty easy) Anyways))( Nice stats to give it(( Weight stats)) If it’s for metal runs put a lot in weight( And stamina and health)))

Not really any argy tip but I used Argys in breeding, if you cryo the babies you dont want and find something you want to tame ex. Rex or a higher lvl argy, after you knock out your new dino, toss the babies out and slaughter them for prime meat that doesn't spoil as fast.

Btw what is the easiest way to get argentavis saddles in mobile? Im to lazy to grind i lost my pteranodon also so i got an argy i dont have my pteras implant and i dont have enough amber

Using a dino to distract the argy is better than wasting resources, things you need will be a tanky dino [on passive] some prime, 30-50 tranq arrows, and a crossbow and wait, i recognize using so narcotics to be safe. I got 12 argy that way including 2 raven/crow colored and 2 chickens. I reccomend using a dino trap on the argys in a group cuz they may kill your tame. Thats a taming tip, enjoy :)

Lately I have tamed a male argy up on the mountains but when It was at my base it was not producing eggs so if you want one you should get a female so that the eggs start to produce faster not sure that’s how it’s intended to work but it ALWAYS works for me mate so enjoy this usefull tip

You can use the sleeping trick on any knock-out tame! Trap it, sleep and knock out. The food value will be 0.0. Now put food in inventory and you have tamed it in half minute! No starving and food spoiling!

I 100% recommend taming this its very op and if you want to carry lots of metal tame an anquilosaurus the anquilo has a 85% reduction of metal they are a very good duo

Not really a tip but a question, how should I deal with multiple argys in the area? If u see this please respond

The way I tamed my argies are like this. I don’t use a trap. The argies are not quick so you cam make it aggro on you , fly a bit farther with your pteranodon (or run) shot it with tranqs and repeat.Then you can use spikes around if you want to protect it.
