Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a argentavis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a argentavis.
Easy to tame if you know what you’re doing! I pteranodon and hit the level 20 argentavis. I got to a high car place and shot tranqs at it while it was chasing us. About 5 tranqs later it knocked out.
All I typically do to tame it is that I just sit on a good level stego with hardened plates and shoot it with a longneck and some tranq darts.
Worked on a 135 arge with primitive longneck
Just took a few extra darts as I missed a few times as it was flying away
Then just go collect some prime meat and feed it narcotics when needed.
there are cheats to get this animal you can find them on YouTube.
This will probably be the easiest way first of all if you want get a high lvl argentavis wild kill a couple of thing and knock it out while healing this will cause its hunger to deplete to 0 and you can tame it fast
just know your gonna have to defend ur argy while it’s in the trap, and if using crossbow with tranq arrows, it can easily be killed with it, so time ur hits with the crossbow.
It’s very easy to find these go into the red forest (Or where they spawn ) Kill something DONT HARVEST IT and wait for a bird to come and eat it then knock it out 2 tranq darts knocked mines
Easy taming method for me have a PT and agro argy then hop on to ground and tranq then kill lower level argentavis's for prime
Requirements for taming a high lvl argy
1)30-50 tranq arrows
2)narcotics
3)soothing balm(optional)
4)prime meat 20-40×
5)enjoy
The insta tame method doesn't work anymore, I tried may 11th 2020 and I did exactly as said and it didn't work. It was a female lvl 65 and when it was knocked out it stayed asleep. I even waited until it woke up and she wasn't tamed.
Just tamed one today on console sooooo hhhaaapppyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do not need much narcotics but good meat
Never try to knock out these guys at a beach, they will fly over the water and when you do knock ‘em out, they end up drowning.
Easy to tame no trap required unless it’s high level get your tranqs and keep aiming for it when it comes close run back they fly pretty slow then stego kibble
Argentavis’s are carnivores so make sure you have a good amount of meat on hand. Prime meat is preferred. Make sure you have a tape jars tame so you can mount on the wall and then shoot the argentavis. Make sure the argentavis isn’t around any bigger carnivores like carnotaurs or rex’s. Once tamed, take your creature home and make the saddle so taming is so much easier as you now have a creature to pick up Baryonixs and smaller creatures so you can make a taming pen
Kill a human, put body in the cage, let argy eat it and get hp boost, knock it out while its healing, put food in inventory, it will have no food so it will tame very quickly! Good luck taming your argys!!
Use stone dino gate and 3 or more then 1 gate and 3 stone fence support one side the gate and the other the fence supports then u and your pt can walk or fly through the fence supports and the Rg can not then will the Rg is ago on the pt u can walk arund and close the gate and trap him or her for an easy tame
The best trap is the door and hatch frame one it’s hella cheap search up a video for it
When dealing with low level segments the best thing to do is simply just grab a rifle or crossbow and get headshots, it shouldn't take too many to knock one out.
The fact that it has a smithy if you have saddle equiped is kinda usefull you.... You know because if you have a fire place or whatever its called and you dont have a smithy... Its easy just prepair the argie saddle and tame an argie and problem solved... In case you have a problem just look up a totorial and done... Tip: use a sling shot and trap it somewhere then just go with it just DO IT its not hard for me... SIKE i GOTTA TRAP IT IN A ROCK OR STH AND THEN WITHOUT THE RAPTORS COMING I GOTTA TAME THE THING
I tamed 3 today— without a trap- they were no lower than lvl 30 but they were still really good !!! I love them all - nacho, pidgion and agent Travis!
