Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a argentavis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a argentavis.
Had a level 30 one unconscious in my easy single player game!
Then a raptor killed it.
I usually bring at least 30 tranq arrows and a crossbow, then I make a trap using 4 dinosaur gateways an two gates, works pretty much every time for me.
Drag corpses to it if you want to tame it but it’s low health. They heal ridiculously fast when eating corpses.
Looking for the safest way to tame an Argy in the Redwoods? Here's your guide!
Step 1, grab a Pteranodon and fly over to the Red Peak.
Step 2, set up a little camp and build your trap, I used the 5 stone gateframes and the reinforced gates with a bit of space between each
Step 3, find your Argy
Step 4, lead them to the trap
Step 5, hover at the entrance and wait for them to be right behind you
Step 6, fly in
Step 7, the Argy should be in there, and if you have any other tames, aggro onto your other tames until the gate starts to close
Step 8, close the gate
Step 9, knock it out, or do the starve feeding glitch
Step 10, give it any meat, raw meat gives about 10% per feeding so it's not that bad
Step 11, wait for a bit
Step 12, name your new Argy!
Good luck and use this info how you will! I tamed my two Argies, Kokichi and Shuichi, with this
Happy and safe hunting! ^^

Steps on how to tame a argentavis:
1. Build 4-5 stone gate frames place them in a straight line place then distant but not to distant or the Argentavis will fly through the top, build 2 reinforced gates and place one at the end leave the other one in your hot bar.
2. Get the argentavis attention, make him follow you into the trap and place the other gate then run through the side.
3. Use around 50 tranqs just in case you miss
Use a primitive crossbow.
4. There carnivores so they eat meat mutton/prime will work or kibble if you have!
There is a easier way to do this.
Just shoot the bird while he is following you when his torpor starts to get High he will try to fly away so trap might be better whichever way you prefer! -Boycicle
cool bird for cool people PS: did you know that you can starve tame these almost immediately after knocking it out?
you already know probably but lets still go over it!
set a trap (required)
make it bloody like half HP or low HP
kill ANYTHING than you can drag or kill inside the trap
The argy will start losing hunger rapidly
then any type of meat! since this is a starve tame and it probably wont affect much taming effectiveness, just feed it regular meat!
but i recommend prime meat tho, if its a high level one probably 120-150
KNOUCK THEM WITH NORMAL CROWBOW!! TRUST ME JUST DO IT WITH NORMAL ONE! So I made a trap and lore the argy in it and when I was shooting him with my Mastercraft crow bow she died. And I lore a another one and he died too!
An argentavis can't fit through a ceiling with one tile missing, but a pteranadon or lymantria can. Build a trap with one corner ceiling missing, aggro the argentavis, fly in one side and out the missing ceiling tile, and land. Dismount, run around, and close the entry door. Tame safely at your leisure.
Here’s a recommendation for easy mode players.
1. Find a good argy
2. Shoot near 15 tranq arrows at it
3. Put a stack or two of cooked or raw meat inside
4. Sleep in a sleeping bag and give the argy some narcotics
5. Wait a few more minutes
Congratulate yourself
I killed a lvl 50 alpha raptor in under 2 mins
On one of these
They’re amazing
Better have low level argy than no argy at all!!! Even low levels have great stamina, not mentioning that their ability to pick up dinos! Trust me, any argy would make your life easier
Spawn on volcano near the snoe biome on the island. Bring a friend to trank and tapejara with saddle. Have friend use front passenger seat and face the argy and back up while they tranq, then feed meat.
So i was looking for a rex for trex arms for my wall mount then i saw a LEVEL 110 ARGENTAVIS up if i should tame it down to murder it without mercy
If an Argy you’re trying to tame is spawned in a dangerous spot (A place where lots of predators also spawn and could possibly kill the creature you’re trying to taming) Set up spiked walk around the area, so predators get killed or hurt when they walk too close to the spiked walk) This usually works for most predators.
F*ck traps, here's the raw way of how to tame the Argent:
1: find a preferably empty spot of land, kill and destroy nearby obstructions (creatures, trees, etc)
2: find your Argentavis: Argy's are rarely found on the ground, so that's one thing. (B); they have a kinda small aggro range, so damaging it to lure is highly recommended.
3: "so anyway I started blastin'" (oh and btw K.O'd creatures do not take fall damage)
4: the real horde survival begins, things here and there may smell you and try to kill you, and if you're dead, so is your tame, and if you're really resourceful, harvest the bodies of your enemies for meat/prime meat to feed your new pawn of your army.
Don't forget to build a taming hut / room and lure the bird in. They fly off and don't come back if you start tranqing them in the wild.
Build an argy cage with 6 foundationd, 1 dino gate, 24 or 32 doorframes, then ceiling. You have to lure the argy inside so you can shoot it down safely cause they fly away when almost down.
If you need an argy and don’t have time to tame one with a trap, just go to carno island, kill a Dino in front of an argy and let it harvest its body. When the green health icon shows up on top of it, knock it out with tranq arrows and the argy is instantly yours.
How to tame an argentavis is if you're bad at the game like me.
Supplies needed- flying mount, tranqs (darts are recommended), and some narcotics or biotoxin
First go to the non snowy mountain in the east (on island btw) then find your preferred argy, next fly in front of his face to get it to aggro. Lead him up the mountain until you get to a spot where you can sit there, then got off your mount and start shooting it, rinse and repeat until he's sleeping. Feed him meat and narcotics and bam you got an argy.

I know normal raw meat works as well, but prime meat at least triple's the speed of their taming. I tamed a level 150 today and it took 3 pieces of raw prime meat to tame it. Hope this helps you guys with taming!
