Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a argentavis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a argentavis.
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. :)
Use a trap but be aware that it can damage wood and Thatch.
Dont listen to what they say about the tranqur arrows needed to nock it out, they are VERY wrong, it says 9 to the head, WHY DID IT TAKE 17 WITH HIT MARKERS
Found one lvl 117 knock out after 20 min cause was close too death when i found it was in my encoluser guess what when i quit too save frigen lags me out of the game comme on wild card :"(
They eat normal raw meat as well but much much slower
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
There’s a trap on Youtube by “captainfatdog”, using his trap + the argy starve tame method is one of the most efficient ways in taming this creature!
If u need a flyer to carry stuff. This u guy
Pretty easy tame. Best to build a gaming box of stone with a roof (4x5x4 is my preference on dimensions) and surround it with a wide ring of wooden spikes. Fly out on a high health Ptera and find your Argy of choice. Fly into Argy aggro range and lure it back. It’ll loose interest easy so let it hit your bird every so often to keep interest. Once you have it in the box slam shut the doors then shoot it with tranq. Darts or Shock Darts from a long rifle. Tame with Superior Kibble, Raw Mutton or Raw Prime Meat for best results. Slap a saddle on the baddy and hit the skys to start leveling. Pump it full of weight, stamina and a little health and damage if you wanna up it’s defenses.
if you have an ascended bow or rifle with tranq, it so much easier for low and high level. After taking it down feed it raw meat or prime meat. (in a small island (north-east) there's many argentavis there and there's big predators which you can get prime meat easier.)
If you wanna tame one of these bad boys just shoot it in the face about 3 times then feed prime (about 3) and enjoy your new argy! Also these are found in the redwoods or tundra.
So i start by getting normal meat crossbow with tranq arrows and bio toxin then i went to the redwoods on my pteradonon i i always tame low level dinos .so i hit her with my pteradonon lead her somewhere save get off my pteranodon and star shooting tranq arrows then i gave her meat when she started waking up i gave her a little of bio toxin and then waited until she tamed(btw im on mobile(
Jack of all trades really just depends what you want and how you build them. A bird for battle? You got it! Perhaps a super high stamina and weight to carry your anky or just be a mobile flying storage box/smithy with talons. Easy to tame 4 wooden dine gateways 2 doors, even a max lvl ain't breaking that. Just make sure you line the doorways up right and keep enough space to run out the side after closing the door but not enough for it to escape.
I built a trap with 3 stone dino Gates no one raft. Raft was not damaged, easy and relatively cheap portable argent trap.
Hunted for an Alpha Carno with my dire wolf pack, they killed him in less than one minute, easy prime easy argent.
You don't need a trap to tame it just have a crossbow/rifle use traunqs.make the argie agro on your bird fly it into a safe area hope of your bird and shoot it on foot when it gets closer run underneath it to dodge and shoot it reapet and boom stuff meat in there and you will have a argie
You can easily tame it with a soothing balm and 20 normal raw meat
I used traq arrows to knock it out then feed it raw meat!
