--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.

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(

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

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.)

Don’t need a trap they don’t do much damage

The Argentavis is one of my top favorite creatures in ARK. These flying beauties have a 50 percent weight reduction on many items such as stone and metal, which makes them good rss traveling packs. So, let's see how to tame these creatures!

1. GET PREPARED. Items like Tranquilizing ARROWS, BOWS, RIFLES, and DARTS are how you will knock the argentavis out. Make sure to have a pack of RAW MEAT or PRIME MEAT meat with you. If you are capable of making SUPERIOR KIBBLE for this creature, it is best you do so.

2. KNOW YOUR SURROUNDINGS! This part of the taming is one of the most ESSENTIAL while taming anything. It is best to tame a flyer in OPEN, FLAT AREAS or just where it is NOT DENSLY POPULATED WITH OTHER HOSTILE CREATURES.

3. BUILD A TRAP. Any type of LARGE AVIAN like the Argentavis can be trapped by using 4 STONE DINOSAUR GATES and 2 DINOSAUR GATE DOORS. Place them next to eachother as if you were making a large cage. Make a SMALL GAP enough for YOU to FIT THROUGH, but not the ARGENTAVIS to fit through.

4. FIND AN ARGENTAVIS. Once you have built your trap, look for an argentavis you would like to have. Don't worry if the ancient bird is far away from the cage. LURE the Argentavis to it by GOING UP TO IT and INCH AWAY AS IT FOLOWS YOU. TRY NOT TO GET HIT.

5. TRAP IT. Now that the Argentavis is close enough to the trap, OPEN ONE OF THE GATES for the bird to follow you through. CLOSE THE GATE right before the future tame is inside.

6. TRANQ CALCULATION. Depending on the LEVEL you want to tame, you may need more powerful or less powerful tools to knock it out.

Level 1-50: Can use a slingshot or tranq arrows and narco berries (BRING EXTRA stones or arrows beyond the argentavis level IN CASE YOU MISS)

Level 51-150: Use Tranq arrows or Tranquilizing darts with narcotics (Made in SMITHY and used with a LONGNECK RIFLE)

Level 150-200: Tranq arrows or Tranquilizing darts with narcotics and bio toxin (From the electric jellyfish)

Level 201 and above: Use Tranquilizing darts ONLY with narcotics and bio toxin. Using a bow with tranq arrows are ENOUGH TO KILL the high level creature bc the TORPOR WILL BE HIGHER and you may bring the birds health DOWN TO ZERO before it PASSES OUT.

Once you have done all this, put some meat or kibble in their inventory and soon enough, that bird will be yours! The argentavis saddle is unlocked at level 62, but before that you can use it as a guardian and a resource carrier for you when collecting stuff. They can be used in battle too, with an advantage of flight by attacking their victims from above. Once these fellas eat a carcass left over, they gain an effect that will boost their health and regenerates rapidly if hit by something (BOOST LASTS FOR 15 SECONDS). If you have made it this far, then nice! You now know how to make an argy army!

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!

It's way better if you have soothing balm, Use that and, It's about 3-4 bites, THEN BOOM YOU GOT A ARGY

A direbear killed my bird

Then my mom deleted my ark game
