Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a argentavis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a argentavis.
the best dino in the game aka the argy needs to be tamed but it is really fast so build a stone metal or tek trap.
If you use prime meat you will tame it 75% faster then normal meat.
You need about 2x4 gateways with enough doors for them then you fill up the top with roofs and you get to follow you in there
Trapping them is best with 4 stone dino gate,three close to each other and one slightly more apart so you can get out,plus 2 reinforced dino gates,lure it in,then close doors and tranq. Make sure to check the area around you,their spawn points are quite dangerous.
An easy trap method place 4 dino gates and have a gap between 2 that's just big enough so u can slip out put gates on the 2 outer gate frames open the gate u wish to lead the argy in once the argy is in the trap close the opened gate and quick and easy tame awaits ! Happy taming!😉✌
When you knock this bird out other argentavis are a great prime meat source!
These things have amazing weight! If you level up their melee damage to over 1,550 I think around 400-500 dmg it could kill a wyvern. But play it safe and with a partner on another argentavis. But make sure to single out the wyvern.
YOU GOTTA GET ONE OF THESE GUYS get a crossbow or longneck rifle with tranq darts or arrows. Find one separated from a group and shoot it from there. They aren’t very fast so you should be able to outrun it when it gets too close. When it’s knocked out, start putting meat (preferably prime) until it’s tamed :3
How to tame an argy;
Step 1. Craft 4 Dino gateways and 2 doors.
Step 2. Place the gateways near enough to each other so that argy can't get out and you can. Then place the doorways on the end two gates. Leave one open and one closed.
Step 3. Aggro an argy and get it to follow you through the gate. Run out of the trap, and quickly shut the open door so that it can't escape.
Step 4. Knock out and tame the argy.
Voilà, your athey is tamed.
This is how I tamed mine, So you go up to the volcano and follow the little path till you get to the edge where the cliff is blocked by metal and crystal, the you hop on your pteranodon(you should bring one) and go find and Argentavis the shoot it to get it following you then lees it back to the cliffs and hit it with tranqs, but be warned, it might fall on the side of the cliff in a very dangerous position.
On ragnorok if you want to quickly ko an argy build a argy trap with gateways stone for unlimited use wood for cheaper and get 5 boomerangs and use them on it, argies cant survive boomerang to ko naturally so if it is low on health bring it a corpse, however sometimes it runs away and wont eat it so u might have to run away and come back but this method has helped me get argies countless times
Jump onto it with a bat and knock it out
Easy to tame with captain fatdog’s trap. I used a PT and did it easily on ark ps5. This was my first time so now you know how easy it is! P.S. you have to let it hit you. My PT had 200 hp and 300 stamina.
The only way that a level one can wake up on mobile while your taming is if your using fish and just 1 narcoberry
They have a low Aggro range and their attack are slow and delayed. So bring something like an ascendant bow with tranqs, shoot one, run under it, and repeat until it’s knocked. Then feed kibble or prime meat. These guys generally live in areas where prime meat isn’t hard to find anyways. Or either bring a cryopoded ovis with you, kill it, harvest, and tame.
Get four stone gates and two gates to trap argy it’s super easy
You can use the net gun on argentavis for easier trapping
A simple trap with 5 stone gates spread out enough for a pteranodon to fit through and gate doors on each end will do perfectly for taming one of these
Lead the one you want to another place so other argentavisses won’t atack you
They are easier to tame with a friend and a flyer that can hold you, make sure to communicate with the person flying for when it starts to flee.
