Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a argentavis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a argentavis.
Hello it’s ken. You can tame a low level argy if your a beginner in a server, you should probably bring a crossbow and 10 tranqs and listen wasting materials on a trap is not worth it.
With crossbow you only need like 5 or 4 trans arrows. But bring 10 in case. Saddle unlocks at level 62 if you want to ride it, and it’s a very helpful tame although not very fast but can hold a lot of weight
Kill something and lead the argy to the thing you killed and let it eat the thing you killed and while its healing make it unconscious it would tame faster if the argy is healing but it would be really hungry at the time.
1.have cross bow and tranks
2.shot in head a little bit then body
3.give it raw prime meat
4.tame it
Literally just kite a high level one into a trap and tranq it until it sleeps. Then pump it full of parasaur and divebomb a low level brontosaurus for prime meat to make it go faster. Congrats, you've conquered Ark.
If you go to the beach opposite carno island (the island in the top right of the map) there will be a lot there. They’re an easy tame (in my opinion) but getting them home with the Dino you used to get there is a pain, especially if you need to stop for stamina. I got like 5 tamed argents killed just from getting home. But today I actually got home with an argent after travelling halfway, stopping for stamina, getting killed by a snake, and then travelling half across the map on yet ANOTHER one of my dinos to go and save my argent and the pteranodon I used to tame it. After that I got back and I was A OK. When taming make sure you bring double the tranqs dododex says cuz when they are too far away you won’t be able to hit them so I’d also recommend bringing a tribe who could aggro the argent and fly back to you, meanwhile you can get tons of headshots and knock it out
If you are on the island map then go to the dead island and then get a good level to fallow you to the main land. I got a level 65 to the main land then knocked it out
People keep on saying about the argues or other creatures missing but in mobile go on your character go on takes and it will show your tames if you press a creatures name and press request it will take some time but your creature will teleport to you
U can just knock them out with a crossbow
I knocked him out, it only took like two tranq arrows. So freakin’ proud of myself!
Takes 4 prime if you have no narcotics get bio toxin
Find one on the side of the volcano and have it agro onto you. Land on a safe area of the mountain and shoot it with tranq arrows or darts. They don’t do much damage if they’re lower than 75 so just let it hit if it gets close and keep shooting it. When it’s knocked out feed it some raw meat or better and it’ll be tamed in no time
ULTIMATE GUIDE TO TAME A ARGY
1- find a argy (try find a argy on redwood Mountain or artic biome)
2- shoot tranquilizer arrows OR tranquilizer darts on the argy
3- feed the argy
For anyone on controller I wanted to not if you take the argie your taming in the crater it has lava and other things so it may not be super viable.
Definitely recommend trap taming for these guys if not when they get torpor they just fly away you can also take not just with tranques but with a slingshot. If this helps like it
In reallity, its really easy to tame.
1: Do the tipical cheap trap.(Watch a video if you don’t know the trap).
2: Close the door and its trapped
3: You can knock it with arrows, darts…But the cheapest option is throwing it the boomerang.
And you have now an argentavis.
If you have a mid level pteranodon you can jump off and shoot it with tranquilizer arrows then hop on ride it a little then hop off and shoot it, do this acople times and he will be knocked out.
Get four gate ways and doors than lead the rg in than close the door and shoot it with darts find some prime meat and when you look its hugarey will decress feed it prime meat and there a new rg or first
Tamed mine with in under 20 minutes with 3 tranqs and a stack of regular raw meat. Console
You dont rlly need narcotics but i recommend using them just to be safe
