Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a argentavis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a argentavis.
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
1. Should take something like a pterodon get a saddle for it.
2. Go up to a place where argy’s are, attack it while riding the pterodon to get it to follow you.
3. And keep having it follow you (by attacking it but only when it starts to lose interest) until you get to a safe taming spot.
4. Fly as high as you can to make it stop following you.
5. Take a some tranq arrows and a crossbow or bow and start shooting it.
6. Feed raw meat
Hope this helps
Real alien tame them with kiblle and knock them with trank arrows
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.
Use a metophiticus to tame a Argentavis. He will throw poo at him which will slow him down and will be very easy to tame :)
Arges are good tames they can pick up to a bary.so your in luck! They can easily pick up creatures.so you can just knock the dino out in the cage.you find in waterfall areas they also spawn near the volcano and also in forests. To tame make four gates each 5 inches from each other, and to gates in the back fly with a flying creature and go thru it the arge will follow and then close the gates.then just shoot thru the holes.the Dododex will tell you what it eats.
Taming is very easy, a lvl 21-ish got took down from the air with 2 tranq arrows, then I killed some Carnos for prime meat. Literally wasn't even a second and it was tamed. Gonna name her Freedom cuz shes just a big friendly eagle. Found in the snowy areas of The Island. Awesome tame to fly around with and kill Rex's, NEED TO HAVE HIGH STAMINA AND MELEE, YR BIRD MIGHT DIE IF U TRY THIS WITH LOW LVLS.
Xbows don't seem to get headshot damage, but I knocked one out using a regular bow and was getting headshot damage everywhere but the head. Knocked out a 135 with 15 arrows, where a 130 took 40 with an xbow. Both were 100% damage.
You don’t really need any narcotics.I tamed a 150 with prime using no narcotics on solo.
Wait can be carried by karkinos
Narc it up to 75% Torpor and check with the magnifying glass to be sure. Feed it a corpse(fish or dodo or smth), and as soon as it eats the corpse, narc it out! It will heal up and when its narced its food will drop 2000-4000(depends on how fast you narc it out). TADAA...instatame ;)
If you’re on PC then turn up taming stuff and put up hunger then just put a few pieces of raw meat in its inventory after you tranq it from the ground a couple times.
I used a tranquilizer bow and my partner use long neck we took turns shooting as it was hingry for me. Once it was KO we supplied it with raw meat and no berries or juice made a saddle right away and in my opinion best flyer so far
1x1 trap: Build one wood foundation, add two high doorframes on one side with ceiling on top, and finally one doorframe on each side. Lure argy in and place a final doorframe behind.
Build a Dino pen with 3 Dino gateways and gates, then make stone doorways, then make a roof and then tranq
Lure to taming box and tranq til flyes other direction then drop dead fish body and wait til health ring appears then knock it while health ring is over head, hunger goes all way down and makes it a 30 second tame.
