An argentavis can't fit through a ceiling with one tile missing, but a pteranadon or lymantria can. Build a trap with one corner ceiling missing, aggro the argentavis, fly in one side and out the missing ceiling tile, and land. Dismount, run around, and close the entry door. Tame safely at your leisure.

I tame everything the old fashioned way...

Shooting them until they inevitably fall asleep and force-feed them until they love me :)

I killed a lvl 50 alpha raptor in under 2 mins

On one of these

They’re amazing

Here’s a recommendation for easy mode players.

1. Find a good argy

2. Shoot near 15 tranq arrows at it

3. Put a stack or two of cooked or raw meat inside

4. Sleep in a sleeping bag and give the argy some narcotics

5. Wait a few more minutes

Congratulate yourself

If you don't have argentavis tame now.it is easy to tame but don't do mistake like me.iam going south zone to North zone for tame and when I was reached north i see one mountain and that mountain have so many argy when I hit one with tranquiliser arrow so he get to me and hit me so my pteranodon goes for a fight and kill argy next day I found a beutiful argy and I tame it. One advise when you go to tame argy don't set your dino at passive because if you set on passive your dino will kill argy like me

If you need an easy trap to build for an argie

Look up Captain Fatdog for argie or other traps

or if you need a quick trap that can—well TRAP a large variety of creatures, search up Mgen

Both are YouTubers

Love to Mgen and Captain Fatdog

A great trap for these useful fools in ASE

1 stone foundation

3 stone double door wall things

1 double reinforced door

2 stone railings

1 stone hatchframe

HOW TO BUILD

place the foundation somewhere safe

then place two doorways on the opposite side where you’ll bring it from

very important- always place another doorway on the left side of the 2 doorways and place an actual DOOR and dont forget to KEEP it CLOSED

place a railing on top of step ‘s doors and another one on the opposite side

hatchframe on the top of the trap

LEAD IT IN

The traps cost-efficient and reusable and you can fit a pteradon in the gap of the two doorways or run inside to lead your argie but when you trap it: open the door to keep it stuck

Feed kibble or prime meat and when tamed, close the doors and let out one of the best tames in the ark!

if you need a video, search up CAPTAIN FATDOG as he has many tutorials for traps for both ASE and ASA

If an Argy you’re trying to tame is spawned in a dangerous spot (A place where lots of predators also spawn and could possibly kill the creature you’re trying to taming) Set up spiked walk around the area, so predators get killed or hurt when they walk too close to the spiked walk) This usually works for most predators.

Build an argy cage with 6 foundationd, 1 dino gate, 24 or 32 doorframes, then ceiling. You have to lure the argy inside so you can shoot it down safely cause they fly away when almost down.

Don't forget to build a taming hut / room and lure the bird in. They fly off and don't come back if you start tranqing them in the wild.

Give it a corpse before it gets knocked. Then finish the tranqing process while it has regen buff it’s good will drop to zero. Up for others to see.

If you need an argy and don’t have time to tame one with a trap, just go to carno island, kill a Dino in front of an argy and let it harvest its body. When the green health icon shows up on top of it, knock it out with tranq arrows and the argy is instantly yours.

CAN BE LASSO'D

That just made everything MUCH easier.

Only tested this on mobile, but if you knock them out when they have the healing buff from eating a corpse, almost all of their food will be gone, making for a quick and easy tame if you know what you’re doing.

Please note: the Argentavis can now fit through one tile spaces, good to know if you are using a ptera (which can also fit through one tile spaces) and trap method to tame.

There is a working glitch right now that allows you to (almost) instant tame these things. First, trap the Argy in a simple trap you can walk out of but the Argy cant fly out of. Second, put all of your items in a box next to a sleeping bag next to the trap and then commit die. Respawn at your bag, shoot the argy with lots of tranqs and use dododex to make sure you dont knock it out. Third, take your dead body and drag it within reach of the Argy, once the Argy consumes it its head will glow green, now knock the Argy out the rest of the way and its food bar will be drained heavily.

This allows for a near instant tame and works best on the lower levels. Using this method on an Argy makes it a faster name than a Pteranadon.

I used this on Thanksgiving day 2019.

Watch granny he has a 100 day ASA the island video that has a good argy trap and taming.

Cypher's Tip

An Argentavis is a portable Smithy as well as a transporter. They have many weight reduction bonuses that will help you, should you ever need to move around and require a Smithy or you just need to transport some items.

They can pick up most creatures provided that they are not twice it's size. They are one of the most useful tames of all time. They are not a great creature for speed but they are efficient at transporting.

Taming one will be difficult. Having a Longneck Rifle with a Tranq Darts is best. The kibble is great but Mutton and Prime Meat works best. Be prepared to give it a chase once it runs off after it's Torpo is on above 50%. They tend to fly off very high.

If you plan on giving it a chase, make suee you have a mount that can outrun it first. A Direwolf or any other land mounts that can shoot while mounted is minimum.

Good luck and happy hunting.

You should at least bring a cross bow and 5 tranq arrows for low level and about 30 for a high level and about 100 narcotics just in case and feed it prime meat or regular meat or kibble it likes then wait for it to tame then you have your self a arg press the arrow pointing up if it was helpful thanks if you do ☺️💓

So i was looking for a rex for trex arms for my wall mount then i saw a LEVEL 110 ARGENTAVIS up if i should tame it down to murder it without mercy
