Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a argentavis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a argentavis.
Just use a master raft rifle gave egliesr4seconds and it knocked out
So basically I just wonder around the artic on my boat and with my dolphin there is alot of argies that are almost knocked out but I can't get it I don't have enough resources to make a trap and it's too dangerous on land to get items as there's rexes and alot or purlovias ( ? ) And other dangerous stuff, Me sad because I really want a Argy
Build a trap, make a magnifying glass, tranq it til it starts running, check torper with glass. Drag a body to it. When it attacks again it will eat body and get healing buff tranq it out. If you knock it with healing buff food will b zero. Have mutton ready to go. Instant tame
Fire toxicant arrows and it wil easily fall unconscious the saddle is easy to make. Mine is named Griffin and have had it for 1 year. Great for transporting cargo.
Argys are a great steed. They can carry small mounts, including Dire wolves and Sabertooths. Knocking them out is pretty simple, using a longneck rifle. Two shots can knock em out pretty nicely. Feed them with meat. Their pretty slow, but strong. Good tame!!
Best way is to build a pen out of dinosaur gates then agro the argy and lure it into the pen
Before you knock it out feed the argentavis a dead dino so its getting his health buff then knock him out. If you do that the argentavis food will go down and you can insta tame it.
My favorite Argie trap is 2x3 stone foundations , dino gate, and then pillars on the edge at every outside corner of a foundation, and one in the back middle. Then, 3 stone Ceilings from the back pillar to the gate. Pteras can go out, but not argies
Use 2 wooden gates as the trap with doors then lure the argy and knock it out boiiiiii
Kite them: run ahead of them because they fly slow. Run for about 5-7 seconds then turn and get some dart/tranq shots on.
When the run follow them:)
Place wooden spike walls around the argy, or any other taming dinos. It makes the tame so much easier
It does not take 8 headshots with a crossbow i shot it 28 times and still was not downed lvl 140
Three to four dinosaur gate ways lined up with two gates on each side lead him in and tranq him if he gets low from shooting him kill something small and take it to him when he eats it it heals him.
when you find one of them, there will be at least 1 or 2 other argys in the area. make sure you find one that is alone. then shoot with tranq arrows or darts. Then feed stego kibble then you have an argy! Hope this helps!
Nobody has put the easiest way to tame trap argy tranq till running away feed dead body knock out while healing effect is going food should be close to empty if done right your welcome
U can instant this can save hours get into trap tranq it do its running from u or check it’s torpor with a mag glass when it’s 1 or 2 hits away from being knocked out put a body under it like a Dino body your out a bed down and kill yourself wait for it to eat the body might take a few minutes but when it does eat the body light it up with tranqs while it has the green effect if u knock it out while it had the green affect it’s food will go down by a lot and I mean a lot more then enough to instant tame
I knocked one out after it got the regen buff from something I killed for meat, tamed in about 20 seconds, maybe started as level 25 or so
I cant find anything about this, maybe its an Ark mobile thing
Seems like after the tlc patch they are harder to down, im on unofficial with damage numbers and it looks like theres no headshot multiplier and it took about 60 hits with a crossbow to down a 150 with fairly regular hits
Build a taming pen from 5 or 6 Dino gateways and two gates. Space them roughly equally apart leaving enough space to run in-between the gateways to get in and out, but not so much space that your tame can escape.
Get it to where it is running away then drag it a dead body so it will eat it then start healing and then knock it out while it has the healing symbol over its head if you do it right then it's good will rapidly drain
