Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a argentavis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a argentavis.
Once you have one knocked out you can use nearby Argents as a source of prime meat for a quick tame
To tame get it angry. Once it's close enough then kick it over and over with a equus. Make sure your equus has good health to cope with the damage. Once it starts flying away shoot it with a few tranq arrows, and Bam! knocked out and ready to feed.
You have to get a pterodon to tame this creature. Once you do for a high level you will need a trap and for a low level you can just run around and shoot it with your crossbow. For the trap you need at least four regular stone Dino gates and two doors. Then you just place them in a line facing eachother and place a door on either end of the line. Then leave one door closed and lead your argy in though one door and run out of there and close the other door behind your fast. They also have very low torpor so you can knock them out fairly quick.
Me and my brother trapped one in two Dino gates and knocked it out. It took a while but it was so worth it! Please like
taming pen of pillars 2 high with a dino gate and ceilings is all you need. use a ptera or just run between the pillars. fast and easy trap, enjoy your new argy
Everyone says you need an argy trap to knock one out but they aren’t actually that fast in the wild, yesterday i tamed a lvl 120 without a trap but I would recommend having at least 150% movement speed just to be safe.
There are ALOT of argies on Dead Island (aka Carno Island) it’s practically overopulated with them! But be careful, carno island is very dangerous, so you might wanna bring a quetz or something to carry them to a safer area
Their saddle unlocks at level 62, though I got a mastercraft blueprint it😉
I was taming one of these and a pack of hienadons came running at me. So I led them to a stego waited till they were close and punched the stego. The stego hit them and the two started fighting, so I went back to my argent and finished taming it.
try to get a pterodactyl or parasaur (easy to tame) then hit one with a bow or Cross bow and fly somewhat near your base and just run backwards while shooting it in the head then boom you have an argentavis👍
If it's a low level its an easy tame. Knocked out and tamed a low level (something like lvl 12) with 3-4 tranq arrows. I used a crossbow.
Ok not the best here are some methods of tame and kill
1.come to spawn zone(bring a friend or if you are appolo don't bother)
2.have your buddy aggro the argy and run in circles(no speed levels required)
3.then shoot argy with tranq
4.Build saddle and tame argy with meat or fish or prime or kibble I tame with fish and prime I'm to lazy to make kibble.
5.fly on the wings of hell
(Or if you want to hunt do all steps before 3 and Tous what ever killing weapon you want)

easiest tame method: 3 gateframes 2 gates (doesnt matter which material), build them in a about 1m distance (so it cant fit) then choose one gate to be open and one closed, so just place 1 gate, then lure the argy into the 3 gateframes and place the gate at the outer gateframe. tranq it and before its knocked, place a sleeping bag, let it kill you, tranq it dead and you can instantly tame it because it lost all of its food.
your trap should look like this
Legend: i = gateframe
Legend: I=gateframe with gate in it
I i i
before you tame it
IiI when its in
just a crossbow will do i guess. you can do it with a bow but thats Ressource waste
All you have to do is wait for it to have the green cloud around
It then you have to ko it then you can starve tame it
That is how I got mine.
To that one dude who used ancient Amber's to buy soothing balms. Tip for you dude just go for the artifacts and do the save trick to manipulate the reward that the artifact tribute will give you to get 10x soothing balms
(Mobile) I just got one of these at like lvl 45, here’s how I did it!
I used a ptera to aggro it by attacking, and then I simply lured it to a safe location, where I tranqed it out. Seriously, this method is almost too easy. All you need to do is peck at the argy if it loses interest, and you can take it anywhere! I only had the willpower to lure into a relatively safe patch of grass near the redwoods, but with enough skill you could probably do more than that.
I suggest using a decoy Dino wether it being a tank or just a Dino you don’t want and bring a second Dino if your decoy dies.you can also make traps for them yt is where you can find those traps. These tips helped me get my argent I hope it can get y’all one too <3
Easy to tame female
Knocked it pretty quickly
So you went to the snow biome or carnivore island to tame an argentavis but your problem is that there is too many hostile dinos in the area where you found the argy you want. Well there's an easy solution. Just lure it away from that dangerous place and bring it to your base. They start to attack you once you get too close so use this to you advantage. Make it aggro and get it to follow you, use a pteronodon in doing this. You don't have to sprint while flying on your pteronodon as the argy's sprinting speed is the same as a pteronodon's walk speed (while flying). Then bring it where it's safe and knock it out with tranq arrows. Then just feed it with either normal or prime meat and wait, make sure you have narcotic so it doesn't wake up. Congrats you have tamed an argy and you didn't have to watch one of your tames die to a random carnivore.
Use traq arrow slowly if its not a a good level like 1-20
