How ARK players tame and knock out the Argentavis: what to feed it, what to knock it out with, and how to keep it safe.

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…

You don't even need a trap for these guys. Just aggro one and shoot in the head and boom easy tame.

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

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

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…

For those who like pretty colours on their tames, lost island lava biome spawns bright red almost phoenix like argy’s

uhm i was taming a argy then i was freezing so i went home to get a torch and when it was morning i got back there and i didn’t see my argy so i tamed another one and i tamed it so i whistle all follow and it said 3 creatures heard your whistle i got confused and i was going…

Using a dino to distract the argy is better than wasting resources, things you need will be a tanky dino [on passive] some prime, 30-50 tranq arrows, and a crossbow and wait, i recognize using so narcotics to be safe. I got 12 argy that way including 2 raven/crow colored and 2…

Step 1:tame a flyer that you’re willing to sacrifice

Step 2:find an argentavis to tame I recommend going to the frozen tooth but bring campfires

Step 3:get the argies’ attention with the sacrificial tame

Step 4: land at your preferred taming spot

Step 5:get away from…

Shoot with a tranq arrow and dodge its incoming attack. 3 tranqs from a primitive x-bow koed a level 7. Hope this helps!

i was able to knock one out with about 3 toxicant arrows then just built walls around it to rpotect it while taming i prefer using a bow rather than crossbow since it has a fast reload.

Not really a tip but a question, how should I deal with multiple argys in the area? If u see this please respond

The way I tamed my argies are like this. I don’t use a trap. The argies are not quick so you cam make it aggro on you , fly a bit farther with your pteranodon (or run) shot it with tranqs and repeat.Then you can use spikes around if you want to protect it.

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…

You can use the sleeping trick on any knock-out tame! Trap it, sleep and knock out. The food value will be 0.0. Now put food in inventory and you have tamed it in half minute! No starving and food spoiling!

Why it says 100% chance of death? Idk. I slingshot the heck outta it and knocked a 140 argy out.
