Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a argentavis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a argentavis.
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.
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 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!
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
Be careful when taming an Argentavis, there are probably a lot of carnivores around so make sure to clear the area before taming.
If your level still not enough to make a quetzal platform saddle, you can use paracertherium platform saddle. Place a balista turret on it, and put chain bola in it. Then, when it's chained, tranq it, and build walls around it. Tame it in peace.
Best to starve all the way, then feed it, while starving you could be getting more narcos or getting meat ready.
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.
I tamed argy using a crossbow with tranq arrows...i named her Ara after taming
for me it is enough to catch such argentavis in the net or follow a more advanced technique, but how can you make it easier
If you go into a redwood then you will find these everywhere
