Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a argentavis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a argentavis.
Healing argy doesnt cause it to starve anymore.
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
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)
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 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
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!
Easy trap for argy! Materials: 3 giant door Gateways and 2 gates. You can use wood or Stone, but know that wood is risky and It can escape. Place The Gateways in a LINE and keep a medium space between tem, only The sufficient for your ptero to pass through. Then, place The 2 gates in both slides, keeping The middle free and open one of The gates. Go get an argy's agro and push It to your trap. Escape by one of The sides and quickly Go close The open gate and start tranquilizing It with darts or arroz, but keep an eye on The argy's health. Good Lucky! Dont need to bring narcos If using prime meat or raw mutton. Superior Kibble is recommended, but I usually use prime or raw mutton because The level gain is almost The same.
These are one of the best early to mid game tames on the island. These are relatively easy to tame but i will show you my favorite way to tame them.
first you should make some stone gateways and place them in a tunnelshaped structure,then place two dinosaur gates on both ends, make sure its just big enough so you can sneak through the cracks in between the gateway and the argy cant . next lire it in and knock it out, i reccomend using prime meat to tame it as its pretty easy to get and it is a good taming food. and then ride off into the sunset with your flying dinosaur chicken. :)
I just use 38 stone pillars ,9 stone ceilings ,stone Dino gateway and gate ,crossbow trank arrows and it is lvl 209
If you find one and you have a quetz with a platform saddle, Put the quetz on passive and start shooting the argie. At some point it will fly off and if it is high enough fly below it and shoot it 1-2 times and try to catch it if done right you can takes your tame anywhere!
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
I tamed a low level one but it's easy for every level. First get 3 Dino gates and 2 gateway. Place one gateway and be ready with the other. Let one Aggro on you, run in the gate, use the other gateway and boom. Feed it with every type of meat you have, some narcos/biotox.
Taming these Guys are easy, they are very slow, I tamed one by just waking around in a circle and firing tranq darts, you could also sit on top of a Turtle or stego and have then tank the hits while you fire darts at the argentavis
