The insta tame does work BC I did it yesterday and half the food was gone

How to tame an argentavis is if you're bad at the game like me.

Supplies needed- flying mount, tranqs (darts are recommended), and some narcotics or biotoxin

First go to the non snowy mountain in the east (on island btw) then find your preferred argy, next fly in front of his face to get it to aggro. Lead him up the mountain until you get to a spot where you can sit there, then got off your mount and start shooting it, rinse and repeat until he's sleeping. Feed him meat and narcotics and bam you got an argy.

If you don’t want to use a trap just go up to the mountain with a pteranodon and hit one of the Argys at the bottom so it will start following you. Make sure it’s following you as they are kinda slow. Once you get to the top park your pteranodon and shoot the Argy with tranq darts. In my experience there hasn’t been anything up there so you can tame in peace. Hope this helps a little.

If you type hawk they show up in the search bar

The argy has a saddle that’s basically a smithy, and the equus has a saddle that is a mortal and pestle! Just ride your argy, pick up your equus, and your good to go!

I remember Encountering this in the snow biome there are literally so many of them that I started murdering them by a pump shotgun and a simple rifle including a assault rifle and then started massacre the heck out of them

Their like flying vaults, they can carry a lot of things with ease, however they do tend to be really slow

EASIEST WAY TO TAME AT ANY LEVEL:

Stock up on trans, 4 - 5 per bird, wait for it to land, walk an aim-able distance away, FIRE AWAY, when it comes close, run towards it while flanking from the side and from behind as it passes, you WILL take a foot or two, so be prepared to have SOME food handy for yourself.

They stay tranqed for a little over 30 minutes. Use that time to starve them whil you hunt some predator or big game to get some prime and VOILA!

I solo play and just tamed 5 Argen in one go. I am going to paint them blue and call them The Blue Angles. 😉

I think the argent is the only flyer worth anything since the update. Speed is ok weight is decent and damage is killer.

I tamed one today with no trap I had a mastercraft crossbow with tranq arrows and fur armor it was chasing me and I just kept running away and shooting it it knocked out with just 3 tranq arrows I tamed it with raw meat in 15 minutes but keep in mind the one I tamed was just a level 20

Level 45+, if you ever get raided and are wondering what the best dinosaur to start with to help you build up, this is the one.

For the past three days I have been running around the whole island with my very strong direwolf in search of a high level argy, i had encountered many 420’s but I honestly wanted a 435 or 450(max level), after the first two days I was losing hope and was about to give up, but luckily I had made the right decision of going on one more trip around the volcano. When I got there I saw a big group of argys and got excited, when I pulled out my spyglass all The argys with the dull and ugly colors were low levels but fortunately the silver female with a black crest and white wings was a max level!!! I’m thinking of naming her angel👍

They can normally carry two creatures, one in the beak and one in talons. Or technically 5 because one in beak, player in talons, creature held by player in talons, rider, and creature held by rider.

cool bird for cool people PS: did you know that you can starve tame these almost immediately after knocking it out?

you already know probably but lets still go over it!

set a trap (required)

make it bloody like half HP or low HP

kill ANYTHING than you can drag or kill inside the trap

The argy will start losing hunger rapidly

then any type of meat! since this is a starve tame and it probably wont affect much taming effectiveness, just feed it regular meat!

but i recommend prime meat tho, if its a high level one probably 120-150

Excellent on scorched earth for an all purpose mount. Great for getting large amounts of resources over long distances, and it can carry many of the creatures. Most argentavis are strong enough if you pump in a few levels to handle most wild dinos, like rexes or paracers. I wouldn’t recommend fighting or going near rock golems, wyverns, or deathworms unless your sure you can take them on.

When luring into a pen use a pelagornis instead of a pteranodon because they have better health

This is Basicaly a rite of passage tame one of the most nessecary tames for single player

also you can use wood gates for the trap if you need to save materials

Just tamed a lvl 120 Argy! Took me about 4 days (game time) to tame and he is worth every second that I waited. He is very good with transporting animals back in forth and packs a pretty good punch. I highly recommend this animal as a must have tame. He has a really good wait reduction and is great for resource runs. I highly recommend that you don’t try to tame one in the Tundra with clothe armor though; not so fun.

If you are on mobile or the island.

Climb the mountain in the redwood forest

Reccomend a journeyman bow with tranq arrows or something else with high torpor and a long range but a basic bow should work

Stand fairly far away from the argy it should look about as big as a flying pteradon.

Shoot the argy continuously as it flies towards you dodge if it gets too close otherwise keep shooting it until it faints. Very easy and pretty safe if you time it correctly the argy flees before it gets to hit you.

Don’t wast materials on a trap. As long as you have a decent longneck, just shoot it. It will run, but as long as you have a good Rifle, you can take the argy out.
