Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a argentavis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a argentavis.
If you wanna an argy use trank arrows if you manage to knock out the argy feed it prime meat kill other argys to get prime meat
Where me find argy? Up for inland down for beaches ⛱
You can tame a argy up to level 20 on foot they don’t do to much damage that’s how I got my argy but it is best if you use the darts because it is easier to hit while the start flying away
These bird are a good starting tame they have good stats for bobs and the best way to tame it at a low level make a trap so 5 Dino gateways and 2 gates you can find lots of videos on YouTube or if you want this bird at endgame you just need some shocking tranq darts and shoot it and it should knock out then feed it meat best for faster taming is prime meat or it perfected kibble is stego kibble like if this helped
I would recommend taming a male and female then breeding as this is the easiest way to gain a high stat or army if u wanted to but don't keep going out and taming em it can be hellish especially at dead island
Easy have your pt with good hp good enough to tank fly it into the volcano and ko it in the volcano works on mobile idk about on pc/console but it works and it’s safe.
If your a new player, trust me, these guys are way easier to tame than you think. Just build a trap and get plenty of narcotics - lure it in by getting it to follow you - but don’t get too close. And boom you have a a argy!
Just spent 40 minutes trying to K.O a level 135 with a crossbow and narc arrows.... it flew over water so I had to wait for it to land, shoot at it, then wait for it to land again..... etc
If you don’t have acces to a AC yet , just throw the egg on the ground inside your base at night/early morning. Temp between 8-14 celcius are perfect. Pick it up when it’s getting to hot in the late morning.
Because argy's spawn in spots with lots of predators, all you have to do is build a wooden spike wall around it when it's unconsious. Predators will get killed on the spike wall and won't harm your argy. I used this strategy with my gallimimus i was taming in the redwoods. I tamed it safely! You can use this with many diffrent creatures to protect them when they're unconsious. The bigger the creature, the more the walls. For an argy, i'd say around 6 walls. I once had knocked a therizino unconsious, and it was killed by dilos. If i had used spike walls, those dilos would have died! R.I.P therizino. Hope thos helped!
When they get the green glow fast regen thing nock it out it will be starved for somereason
Once you get one of these bird attention QUICKLY place 5 or so stone/wood dinosaur gateways in a row, far enough where they don’t connect but close enough where they can’t get out. Place 2 doors, one of each end.
Get it’s attention again and while you’re running through the gateway, be QUICK to open and shut the gate while you manage to escape.
Once trapped and you get out, shoot with tranq arrow and feed raw meat, make sure u feed narco or bio toxin while taming
For ant pne who is early gamer with crossbow or reg bow just shoot in face if around level 25 or lower and i will go out and breed dino and hatch babies and kill them for pilrime I tamed a level 15 and it level 33 now and already killed a bro tosaurs so highly advise it just look close in woods
For those who like pretty colours on their tames, lost island lava biome spawns bright red almost phoenix like argy’s
you don't need trap just tranq arrows and meat
First I recommend tranq arrows not darts
2.knock out
3.don’t use meat use fish or prime meat
4. Boom tamed a great flyer
You knock it out then put meat in it. :^
Take a couple tranq arrows and hit it a couple times but be ready they attack
When it starts to fly away hit it a couple more times
Then put a couple meat stacks in the invo and bio toxin
Then you have a a Argentavis
The thing I found easiest is to use a distraction dino, such as a few dodos, and just set them in front of you so the agrent will agro on it for a moment. Maybe not long, but it did long enough for me to be able to knock it out
Well from what I've learned when taming an argy is
That a trap works best for me captain fat dog's argy trap works best(captain fat dog is a youtubers if you didn't know) I usually use a crossbow and tranq arrows
But I've killed many high level argy cause the cross bow does way too much damage and not alot of torpor
So I use tranq darts and long neck and no wonder the tranq darts unlock on the same level as the argy saddle
