How ARK players tame and knock out the Argentavis: what to feed it, what to knock it out with, and how to keep it safe.

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.

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

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…

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.

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…

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

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…

Drag corpses to it if you want to tame it but it’s low health. They heal ridiculously fast when eating corpses.

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

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…

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…

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.

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!

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…

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
