Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a argentavis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a argentavis.
Argentavis can no longer be tamed using the starve method in which you activate the regen buff before you knock it out so it drains all of its food. It’s been patched my friends.
The saddle level should be lower. I am not a very skilled player and I could have been flying with one of these 20 engram levels ago
I just tamed up a boyfriend for my female argy and I named him striker all you need to do to tame one is get some tranq arrows and meat you only need nine arrows depending on it's level once it's nocked out just feed it meat and you have an argy up this if it helps.
Real people tame this on the redwood mountain with no trap and just fish meat and tranq arrows.
Fun fact: If you take an Argy while it's rapid regeneration is active, it takes instantly(happened with me)...
Bem você pode pegar algumas notas do explorador na ilha das pedras e aprender os engramas necessarios e com um petero i onde ela fica achar uma boa de nível e tranquilizala dentro de um amardilhase ela ficar com pouca vida mate algun bicho e de seu cadáver para ela e depois sai fazer ela cai e as melhores comidas pra ela são carne nobre(assada)shark de carne nobre e carne normal(assada)já que não estamos contando com a kible que destas quatro e a melhor ;)
How to tame an argentavis:
A lot of people like to build traps for this, but I just don’t get why
Materials:
A high level pt or another good health Dino if u have cryopods.
A bow or crossbow. Doing the hunt dilo mission will give u a good bow and I use it instead of crossbow.
40 tranqs is enough for crossbow
Process:
1. Find a high level argy
2. Feed it until full health with corpses
3. Use your tanky Dino to tank while you shoot the argy. If the argy’s about to die lead it to a corpse and it regens insanely fast.
4. Leave prime in its inventory. U do not need narcs but if u tame on normal meat then bring some narcs.
Uses:
Super useful weight reductions on I think metal crystal and other late game high tech stuff.
Carries medium-sized animals such as doedic anky and beaver so u can farm with them.
Has high damage and great stamina.
Looks very cool basically collect on the island.
Enjoy your argy!
What they don’t tell you is that the head hit box is so small that you’ll end up getting a body shot no matter what so make sure you have more than enough tranqs
I always find the easiest way to k.o them is pulling them to the top of the volcano and running towards its feet fired darts or arrows. At the top when they attempt to run away they don't really fly up.
Drag corpses to it if you want to tame it but it’s low health. They heal ridiculously fast when eating corpses.
Mobile Argy Taming Guide:
Step 1. Go to the top of the volcano and start to make a trap out of either; 3 stone dino gates + 2 reinforced/normal dino doors
Step 2. Get a pteranodon + saddle and find ur argy, attack the argy so that it will follow you (argys have bad following distance to u may need to attack more then once) once its followed tou to top of volcano lead it into you trap, once in close the gates and get a good distance away from it so it dosent attack.
Step 3. Make a tiny box house place a bed or sleeping bag into it and sleep, after u wake up start to tranq the argy, when asleep the argy will have no food in so put ur meat inside the argy and it shouldnt take a while to tame, once done u have ur very own argy!
Extra Tip. If u get a breeding pair breed them at the top of the volcano since it will only require 1-3 torchesto incubate, once fully grown the original female will be ready to mate again!
It’s really easy to tame these early game even if you can’t ride them yet, I’ve had them as a air defense for a bit, just make a 2x2 or 3x3, bottom walls are actually doorways and top ones are actual walls and don’t forget the roof, leave one wall completely open and have a friend or yourself shoot the argy with a tranq and run in and block off the wall, they’ll damage the walls but won’t break, I’ve done this with a 145 argy
There is no point to have a trap have a pt and shoot it fly away make it follow you then shot it again then repeat
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.
If you on ark mobile use you ancient amber to buy soothing balms they are the only reason why I have one and it is super worth it
I was so lucky with taming me first one, as soon as it was close to being knocked out it flew away and I ran out of darts, it glitched into a wall and I was able to punch it unconscious lol 🤣
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.
