I tried a few times to tame one and it was a nightmare. Here is what happened:

-First I tried to get close with my ptera and it got attacked. It doesn't matter how powerfull your ptera is, an argy level 2 will kill it!

-After that I landed in a safe place, but when I shooted an argy, I got attacked by it AND a few "saberteeth". They cut me like a piece of paper!

-Long story short, I knocked an argy out but it got eated in front of me by those same angry cats!!

-I parked my ptera in a safe place (check). I climbed so the cat didn't catch me (check). I foud a good argy and tried to knock it out, but when I moved a bit to aim, I FELL FROM THE FORKING MOUNTAIN AND DIED!!!!!!

After a few days I tamed a spino and found it easier.

Up if you want to say F.

Stay away from all the stuff that you can eat you

The Argy is not just an amazing beginning tame, but also a mid and end game tame. Even after you get tekgrams(blueprints after you kill bosses) or even if you have tek, you will still use them. They are the best for PvP because they are slow, but they reduce metal, crystal, stone, and obsidian by half and if you have an Anky(spike ball tail dino) it will also reduce the metal by 50%. That's why you see people using these two dinos together because the weight after you pick up the anky will be 25% of the actual weight. Here's a tip, just use 3 to 4 stone gates and two gate doors( don't use behemoth) to trap it with tranqs or darts. If you don't want to wait for it to starve before you tame then when it runs away or is high torpor drag a dead body, player, dino whatever and let it eat it. Knock it out before the green glow disappears and it'll have almost 0 food. Have a great day.

If you build a trap and trap it.... you got it

Best to do a 3x3 stone foundation and 81 normal stone door frames make sure the door frames are 3 high and just make a normal stone dino gateway and some gates. Keep it distracted with a dodo in the cage so you can close the door. I recommend using bio toxin if you live near or in the beach since narcotics are really important for tranqs. Monitor the argy always. You can get a female and male to reduce your struggles in taming more. Just mate them. PS: Argies are great for taming the giant bigfoot things since they can pick it up. Mobile player here just got another baby argy

Very quick way to tame these is you get them trapped start shooting them in the head with tranqs for 3x torpor then when the reach 75% torpor the will try to fly away that’s when you kill as small Dino like a dodo hold it under the argentavis until it’s torpor drains just past 75% then it will attack you harvest the dead Dino and then as fast as you can fire as many tranqs into it (helps if you have a friend or a good crossbow or longneck for high levels) and if you can knock it out with it’s healing buff still active it’s good will Dorian very fast for a quick tame.

To rame these You can go to carno Island (they spawn in High numbers there) with a trike,clear the area of any rex's ,carnos or pulmonoscorpions and knock one out and tame:)

Btw You can easely get to the Island by an ichtyosaurus

MOST PEOPLE WILL RECOMMEND USING THREE STONE GATES AND TWO DOORS AS AN ARGY TRAP!

I also did tried it to trap a wild 300 lvl argy,but you know? I ended up getting killed by it.The thing is the door closes very slowly and creates time for the argy to escape.

So what you should do is make three stone gate,one door,three stone pillar

Place the three doors in a line , and don't place the door, instead put it on your hotbar.

Now at the last gate place the three pillars right at the center of it , this creates a gap for you to run and not an argy.

Now as usual, lure one into the trap,

Once you escape through the gaps between the pillars quickly run back and place it.

Placing a door is quicker than closing one that already got placed. I tamed the wild one using this trap. It's very effective.

And don't forget to test it before trying.

If you want to have some fun while taming argys you can find a large tree and play ring around the rosie while traqing it out

Just finished my first tame with 10-12 tranqs to the head. My mesopithecus came in super clutch, poo throws really helped me kite and allowed for super easy headshots. Used about five narcotics to keep him down.

To you who gave the argy taming guide, THANKS SO DAMN MUCH. With your guide, I was not only able to tame the Argy, not only able to tame a Doedicurus, but tame an Eqqus too! I hadn’t completed the pursuit but the Argy can carry the Eqqus so I brung one back to base and tamed it! Thanks a sextillion!

Kudos to you!

These guys despawn when you go to far from it.

When taming, ALWAYS put wooden spiked walls, multiplayer or not. I HAD TO TAME AN ARGY 4 TIMES BC IT KEPT DYING😭😭😡😡😡😡😡

You can make a cage to the argentavis and hit him one arrow only and make a bed and go to sleep when you woke up hit him until he fall down and you well get it's food is zero so it will tamed in a very small time.

I try this tips to tame argentavis level 157 with meat and he tamed in just 20 second

Your first trap 🪤:

Target: argy

Stone trap

5 stone Dino gate ways and 2 Dino gate way doors

Aline them up and put the doors on each end

I suggest female Argys for eggs

Get argy no mount or yes mount open the front and lead it in go through the crack in between the gate ways and close the door

Hope this is helpful 🆙

OK SO I just tamed my first argy (I’m lvl 58 so still kinda noobie) they really aren’t that hard to tame. I just used a crossbow w/ trank arrows and it fell quick. (Lvl 15 argy) While I fed it normal meet I killed some diplos for like 10 prime and it tamed within 5 minutes? Better then 30. Hope this help :) (this was in the red woods so be careful Of the near by swamp)

Guys. Cmon. You don’t need any traps, ok? I tamed multiple Argies using this simple, simple method.

Pick out an Argy. Whether it be high or low. Then lure it to a safe place. Once you’ve lured it quickly run away from it so it looses interest in you, then wait for it to land. Make sure you have at least 50 tranq arrows or darts.The Torpor for these creatures varies between levels. And some Narcotics, just in case the one you’ve chosen happens to be a high level, but anyway, once they’ve landed get off your mount, if your on one, and go shoot it. It will begin to chase you, and they are fairly slow so out running them is a breeze, keep shooting until it’s knocked out, it’s okay if you get hit sometimes, they don’t do that much damage anyway, So for your taming food, I suggest using prime meat, it goes much quicker and does much more. You can harvest prime meat from Argentavis’. Just be Patient and protect your giant birb. And once it’s done, Congrats! You have a giant birb!

they are not only found in mountain areas but on fjordur they are also found on balhemir island

Easy Tame for a useful tame.

Go near the winter obelisk, there's mostly high level argies in there just watch out for sabers and gigas. Kite one with your trusty ptera to the obelisk and start shooting it with toxitant arrow. Easy to knock out for it's slow and easy to shoot and run. Feed it. Easy.

To tame an argentavis, if your in mobile use stego kibble and if you have amber get 3x taming speed, and if PC still use an kibble for a very fast taming procces :)
