Everything in ARK that should be straightforward seems to always mess up. Can anyone confirm that the Captain Fatdog trap absolutely, 100% works? I’m planning to head up northwest, set up the cheap trap on the beach, and kite an Argy into it from the snow.

Healing argy doesnt cause it to starve anymore.

Found one at the base of the mountain, lured it to the top with my pteranadon so it wouldn't get eaten by other predators. Some tranq darts and raw meat and was good to go

To be honest everyone’s talking about using Dino gateways to capture dinos but I never have used them. What I use is 10 pillars making a sort of u same and then stacking the rest on. I then add a ceiling to the middle pillar. I get a Argentavis to chase me and I run through the structure. Once the Argentavis is in structure, I place a stone fence behind it trapping it. I’ve done this method on a multitude of levels ranging from the basic 15 to 450.

I found a 145 with INSANE stats, 1150 Stam and ZERO points in movement speed, so i trapped it, knocked it aut and hunted for prim meat, and when i came back, it was death😭😭😭

Easy tame, no cheats:

Equipment needed. 10 or so tranq arrows

.Crossbow/bow

.lots of meat

.Soothing balm (10x)

All you have to do is fire tranq arrows at Argie keep away but it doesn’t hurt if he attacks once or twice, you can do it however you want just knock it out with tranq arrows (really simple) then place all your meat in its inventory give soothing balm and for me it went from 0.00% taming then I waited for the white line to go up and from 0 to tame it was awesome, only lvl 2 but I will upgrade him myself also try on a low lvl I haven’t tried with a high lvl I don’t have anymore soothing balm.

These things are super easy to tame except that they always live in dangerous areas. Bring a Tapejara or a pteranodon and land and dismount near some. Make sure you make sure that they are protected and that they’re on passive. Find and argy that’s high in the air that you like (use a spyglass to check the level) and start shooting with any weapon that you can equip tranq arrows/darts with. Keep an eye on your other tames and other Dino’s around and don’t die as you shoot the argy. Once it’s knocked out fly over to it with your tames and use your choice of food on it. Hope this helped and congrats on your new argentavis!

(Go check out my other tips I try to write as many as I can)

Use a stone gateway with 3-4 stone fence foundations in front your pteranodon can get through but the argy gets trapped just close the gate behind it and tranq, use stone or better specifically because with stone wild therizino and giga are the only ones who can damage stone structures

I tamed a level 190 while still in HIDE ARMOR and no trap on foot where is my medal

I had read you could knock them out with slingshots. Does not seem to work on mobile. Tranq arrows work great

After you tame it, boost up its stamina and weight, (Depends on the level) because if you put everything you need to make smithy items he will go slow,and that would lead to you burning up its stamina.

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

If you don’t have an argentavis, make a trap!

1. Build a chicken coop or a lamppost like trap

2. Find this majestic creature

3. Lure it in

4. Block the creature so it can’t get out

5. Knock out or kill!

And boom! You completed hunt: argentavis prusit or you just got your first argentavis!

If you have a chance of killing one thru knocking it with say a crossbow, you can set your stuff aside and put down a sleeping bag. Then you feed yourself to it, it heals, you respwan at camping bag and get your stuff, and knock it. Works best with a trap

I went right on the edge of the Arctic area. There will be allosaurus, sabers, and scorpions and argies. Dart them and clear the area, feed anything on the list as long as you have narcs. No trap needed just use a longneck and darts. Happy Taming!😀

A wild argy will lose to an achita - snail who ate focal chili

How to tame one easy : get a pteranodon with saddle, get icthy with saddle, find nearby leed, and get tranq arrows (35 or 40 maybe.) step 1: mount your icthy, and scrape meat off of a leed until you get prime fish meat ( one leed is in front of my base, one is near me, one is at herbivore island, one is half way to herbi island, for me.) step two: get 35 or 40 tranq arrows ( you might miss and you need alot to knock it out)

step three: fly to red peak on pteranodon (make sure its attack target) find a flying, solo argy. step 4: aim and shoot at it, when it flys at you its even better the target gets wider step 5: once its unconsious put prime in its inventory step 6: there is your very own argy!

I don't know why but if I hit the head the damage is the same as the body. Someone can help me pls?

Hit it on a flyer then make it follow you just behind you to a safe place then knock it out the feed it primes and you are set

U-P-V-O-T-E! Gotta get rid of the old school kibbles... it’s messing everyone up thinking they can use the old ones. IT DOES NOT WORK!
