Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a argentavis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a argentavis.
Dude I LITERALLY TAMED IT WITH only raw meat ( first you have to kill any animal near it and when it will release green aura you have to tanq it it will take max 6 to 7 arrows if it is low20 to 30 then when it knocked out then put all of raw meat you have the wallha you have a argentravis in few seconds
Tip for new players - argentavis are good flyers and they can carry 60% of dinos in ark island and best way to tame them is to first have a good health mount more then 2k health and u can use weapons on them and keep shooting them until they run and when they run u can even use longneck rifle now or u can just sit on tapejara and set argy its target and keep hiting it till it gets knock like i tamed 4 argy in my early 60 days with a 4k health sarco and after 27 days i had a op argy mutation they are good and best mount until u tame Griffins
Really easy to tame since a level 30 takes 8 tranq darts. It’s saddle is a mobile smithy. They do commonly spawn near the mountains, in the redwoods and in the snow. Just be careful if your doing mountains because Gigas can spawn. I find Gigas at Fars Peak
I recommend making a trap with dinosaur gates, for the high level ones. I tamed a 130 like this
If you are trying to tame one kill a creature (parasaur) and traq it while it’s distracted by the body once granted I advise using kibble if your a late game player (or prime meat)
Like so your argy can have good luck
When the argy is almost knocked out (like before it runs away)
Kill small Dino (raptor, dodo, etc.) and drag body to arge, the arge will eat it and gain the health buff thing and it’s food will rapidly decrease, this helps with tame time!

I also go to carnivore island to tame because of all the raw prime and arge
Find a healing one knock it out and feed it and a glitch will happen
And it go really fast
Build a trap don't mess around running and shooting
If you have one of these get a raft, build a taming pen on top and a space for landing and you have yourself a good portable taming base for anything it can pick up. I've tamed loads with this. It's easier than flying all the way to base or making several taming pens at different locations.
I like to use a pt to tame these, if you use a pt you only need 1 stone foundation 3 stone walls a stone ramp and a stone door the pt will fly right through it as the argy is chasing you through it, it will get stuck on the double doorway wall which you want on the front and sides and before the argy flies out open the door on the side and boom its stuck. I typically make two of these traps to get a high level male and female then make air conditioners to start breeding only keeping the females until I have 1 male 7 females then pair that with the oviraptor and set them on mating to get eggs for superior kibble
It’s pritty easy just get 6-40 tranq arrows and a couple a couple ptardon I used on and don’t forget narcotics to feed when it’s getting closer to wakeing up and 2-3 stacks of meat and bring the saddle for it with you(if you don’t have a saddle for it ride the ptardon back and put it on follow) and get off the ptardon and tranq it feed it meat and narcotic.
Location mountain.
Bring. Narcotics,tranq arrows, meat, arge saddle.
Heres a few tips about the argentavis:
1-If they eat any corpse, they will start rapidly gaining health.
2-They have a 50% weight reducement(is that a word lol) on metal ore, crystal or obsidian.
3-They can carry medium sized creatures, like an anky, raptor, or parasaur.
4-You can use these guys to farm metal with an anky, grab an anky with the argy and bring it to a location with lots of metal and start farming that metal with your anky.

They are the PERFECT mid game tame. High weight and good attacker. No wonder they are what servers give away. How you tame is get your tranqs and shoot from afar. When unconscious feed prime meat. Btw other archys can drop prime meat. Feed until tame and vola! A good tame
Shoot it twice with a trang, then feed it a dead body of any type. Once the argy eats the body. Knock it out as fast as possible. Once it hits the ground put 3 stacks of raw meat in it. Then wait 1 minute. And you tamed yourself an argy
To tame this big bird, you need a couple of dino gates for a trap, alot of tranq darts/arrows, longneck rifle, and some prime meat or kibble if you have any. if this helped click the arrow on the bottom left of this text that is pointing up 👆
I don't have to tell how good transporter they are but one advice for taming, make sure to keep dead dino nearby so it have its healing effect on while you shooting tranq, if it knocks out while in healing state, it will have less chance of dying and will have almost half food bar empty for quick feeding
Needs 20 kibble not 19. I used 19 kib and 2 prime meat and it came out to be a 198.
If you are too scared of it dying while knocked out just lure it to an spot far from the mountains and have there an trap keep reaggroing it and trap it or if it's an low level just tranq it
When taming an argy, the easiest way is to try to get it to activate its “regeneration” buff on a dead animal. This will drain its food and make taming extremely fast and easy once it’s knocked out.
