Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a argentavis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a argentavis.
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.
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.
I play on switch and this thing is awesome it’s one of the best flyers out there very easy to tame no trap needed just make sure you hit it before it starts pour topor running happy hunting good luck
Use 4 dino gateways human length apart, the gates should be on the last two very easy good tame use raw prime meat it so much better
How to Tame an Argy (In or near Artic): First knock it out. Once knocked out, make sure the area is safe and it will not be eaten while unconscious. Then go find some Kaikrus (the penguins) kill there babies and get a ton of prime. Return and feed to you argy. Enjoy!
To those who thought that the instant tame acctually instant tamed it with zero reascources:it just reduces the time needed for taming greatly by causeing its hunger to decrease more rapidly, so you still need annd the other reescources for taming it
Don't tame it with stego kibble unless you have two kibble cause on a lvl 3 stego kibble will only get it to 87% if you do at least bring soothing balm OR prime meat do it for me i wasted stego kibble and only got it to 87% and had no soothing balm or prime meat and i watched its taming drop
To easily knock it out just use tranq arrows and to get meat get prime meat by getting a shotgun any type and kill a rex for me i use my ascendant pump-action shotgun to kill rex
Don’t tame in the snow unless u have a trap/spikes because the ice place is rlly dangerous
Instead place a trap near volcano and trap the argy then cover it with spikes
HOPE THIS HELPED!
Kill something nearby the argie you want to tame and wait for it to start eating, then as it starts to eat the thing you killed knock it out with tranq arrows. Feed meat and using this method we didn't even need narcotics

(Big thank you too my friend)
You have to run they are pretty slow
Dont use a wooden gate on the argy if you aren't going to tame it for a while. They can break wooden structures
Get prime meat, get to a vantage point, spray tranq darts, give dat boi narcotics, EZ
USE NORMAL CROSBOW TO KNOUCK THEM IN MOBILE!! IF YOU USE MASTER CRAFT OR JOURNAMEY IT WILL KILL THE ARGY!!! I just killed one level 200 female for this
Wheres this spawns? Bcuz i dont see any 🤔
You don't even need a trap, you can just run around in circles while shooting it. You can always use a net gun for an easy tame .
Quick and easy taking steps on the island
1 fly to the volcano on a weaker flyer
2 Place three Dino gates wood or preferably stone for higher levels
3 find a high level Argentavis
4 lure it into the trap and place a Dino gate in the farthest gate from the argy this might not work first try and keep your weaker flyer away from the argy(s) or cryopod it
5 when it flys in place a gate behind it in the first gate so the argy is trapped now tranquilize it then get some prime meat from nearby stegos Rexs carnos or paracers diplos and brontos if you are uses normal meat bring the narcotics you probably won’t need it for prime but I’m not sure I only tamed a highest of 140
