Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a argentavis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a argentavis.
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.
Stay away from all the stuff that you can eat you
If you build a trap and trap it.... you got it
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 🆙
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!
So ez all u got to do is get crossbow and some tranq arrows no trap needed and knock it out.
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 :)
Easy to tame easy to breed/raise/hatch … made an army and tamed wild high levels during events!
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!
Knocking out while self healing gives you speed taming and same way also valid for Daedon.
Here’s how to get an argy fairly early on with a minimalistic trap:
Make a 1x1x2 trap with a (preferably stone, wood might survive but be careful) foundation, 8 doorframes and one hatchframe ceiling. Leave 2 doorframes out as an entrance and lead the argy into the trap. Quickly place the doorframes behind it by running up to the side of the trap and placing them. The argy will now be stuck and probably spin in place. Just stand close enough so it doesn’t do this and slingshot until it gets knocked out.
I found one and tamed in near the western plans Beach on the island
