Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a argentavis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a argentavis.
Use an electric prod and if you have god console press level up target it will make it faster to tame
To tame an argent you make his torpor rise most of the way then you kill yourself or a dino you can pull then you wait for it to eat the carcass once he eats it you ko it IMIDEATLY while the healing ability is in then once it is ko the food will drop half to all the way in less than 6 seconds ...90% tame with 145
Best way to tame is make it follow you to a taming cage with a dinosaur gate and door frames as walls so you could walk out once inside close the gate now go kill something and drag the body to it once it's eaten the body you should see green light coming from the bird that's when you quickly shoot it with trank arrows and it should almost instantly tame ...just try it
Glitch out where 1 arrow before you knock it out u kill yourself and feed it your body and knock it out while it’s healing and it goes down to 0 food so u can insta tame
Really slow. Walk backwards while loading it with tranqs.
Hope it helped. :)
Here’s a tip!! Simple taming pen: stone gate-way, stone pillars, stone roofs! Then a small Dino; like a Raptor or Pteranadon. Shoot, fly in, shut the door, tranq, wait 10 years, feed ‘em some prime, and BOOM!! You got a an Argent! Congrats! HAPPY TAMING!!!!
Try a turtle and level up health as much as possible and shoot the arg and let the turtle take the hits
so ive noticed that most argys i find go down in like 2-4 tranques even though some ask for more than that
But i dont recomed you try it out because it may just be that i get them from the mountain near the center off the island and the one just above that. I do recomed geting them from there because i found it so easy. I suggest bring mabye 20 tranques just in case.
I hoped this helped in the slightest
Ps. They tend to eat raw normal meat thats how i tamed mine
Make a trap with wood or stone Dino gates
This is the best argy trap I've ever seen. It's cheap and light and the most reliable. https://youtu.be/sibYbwkn3ys
If ever you knocked one of this out you can opt to protect the argentavis while taming with 4 wooden spike wall to keep small predators away since they're more commonly lurking the area, the wooden spike walls are easy to make. If there are big predators you best take care of those first though since they go through the walls. Also works when taming other dinos.
I don’t understand why people use traps to tame them. They r so easy to knock out and tame without it. I tamed my on the side of a mountain and had no problem. ( I also got to see my first giga when getting it raw prime meat.
You can easily knock out and tame an argument if you kill another wolf animal near it and hit it with about 3 tranq darts or a few tranq arrows. If there’s a dead animal near it then it’ll target the animal to heal even if it’s being attacked. And if you manage to knock its healing then it’s good will already be low so you can get an easy argy tame within seconds. After it’s knocked out
BIG TIP IF U KNOCK OUT ARGY WHILE ITS HEALING ITS HUNGER WILL DROP SO MUCH AND U CAN TAME IT UNDER A MINUTE PROBALY
Make sure your using boosted stats if u play solo because if u don’t then you will need a trap
An easy trap that works like a charm for Argentavis, as well as other fliers, is a set of 5 Stone Gateways placed in a straight line(with a bit enough gap in between for your character to walk through, with a Reinforced Gate places on the two ending Gateways. Close the gate opposite of them direction the Argentavis will be entering from, and lead the Argentavis into the trap. Crouching helps sometimes, but normally you can just wait for the Argent to fly in, walk around it, and close the open gate the Argent flew in from. After that, just knock out like any other KO tame
For a Quick and easy tame make a trap with three stone gate frames and two door and place them in a row and leave a space between the gate frames where you’re character can fit through and the argi can’t. Then lure the argi in to the trap and place the gates (you can also place the gates before and open them but personally I think it’s easier to place them when the argi is in the trap). Once it’s trapped use some sort of tranquilliser to almost knock it out, when it’s one or two shots from knocking out feed it a dead body so it gets the green healing effect and then knock it out. If done correctly it should be drained of food and insta tame with any sort of food but I recommend kibble or mutton.
It is easier than you think to tame. But it is costly. You are going to need to build a trap with four stone Dino gateways with a big enough gap for u to fit through lined up parallel creating a tunnel. On the two outside gateways are the only ones which you will need to place doors on. Open one of gateWay doors And lead the argie inside and run out the gap if you do not have tribe mates to help you close the door behind you you are going to quickly run out and around to shut the doors.
If u are new and make a easy server with settings that make everything easy, just need at the most 10 tranq arrows and this go does 100 level and below
--TAMING METHOD--
Step One: Make 4 wooden gateways and 2 wooden gates.
Step Two: Place the 4 gateways down in line one after the other like four archways making a sort of hallway. Leave gaps in between just small enough for your character to fit through.
Step Three: Place one gate on the gateway furthest fron your argy you wanna tame.
Step Four: Kite the argy until it is ready to fly into the trap.
Step 5: Let it fly in. (Allow it to hit you a few times. Its okay you won't die.) Place the gate on the outer gateway, trapping the argy inside.
Step 6: Run out and knock it :)
Your welcome.
