Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a argentavis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a argentavis.
A good trap for these guys are a 1x1 foundation with double doors and a ceiling make sure the double doors are 2-3 high so that way the argy will actually fly in leave one side open and then kite the bird in and then close it with walls and it's an easy KO
Do not use longbow on this guy. I don’t know why you would use longbow but that would kill him. I once tried that because I thought it was the normal bow and I didn’t have my longneck with me so I shot him and he died.
Tame Difficulty
3/10
Just go to mountains with a pteranodon that’s decently strong. Kill a stag or raptor then just wait they will come to scavenge and eat it then a handful of tranq arrows from a bow and it’s knocked out.
It takes a little time to tame so just be prepared to fight off any small carnivore and it’s no problem. Give it meat and it will get hungry and eat it obviously superior kibble or prime meat is preferred but don’t need to complicated anything. Was suprisingly easy don’t need a complicated trap at all. My GF did it 2nd try killed the 1st one by accident
Get a thick leather gauntlet and some meat on a length of rope. Attach the meat (sausage or bacon will do) to the rope. Do not attach onions or tomatoes as they simply will not work. It must be meat. Swing the meat on the rope vigorously around in a large circle in front of an Argy and then throw it directly towards a Rex. Follow me for more useful tips and tricks for playing Tomb Raider!
To tame an Argy you need to know where they are they mostly come at the mountains the 2 mountains and volcano you need 3 stone dinosaur gateways and 2 reinforced dinosaur gates to trap in place your trap but not to close shoot an arrow to aggro or passive agro it hold your gate ready and when it is in the trap place the gate to trap it in. (lure Argy in the trap)
I play Ultimate mobile edition Ragnarock and these still have the headshot multiplier.
Use tranq arrows to easily knock out this creature
Fun fact about argy: when they are knocked out they snore very loudly and ugly. They sound like snoring zombies
F*ck traps, here's the raw way of how to tame the Argent:
1: find a preferably empty spot of land, kill and destroy nearby obstructions (creatures, trees, etc)
2: find your Argentavis: Argy's are rarely found on the ground, so that's one thing. (B); they have a kinda small aggro range, so damaging it to lure is highly recommended.
3: "so anyway I started blastin'" (oh and btw K.O'd creatures do not take fall damage)
4: the real horde survival begins, things here and there may smell you and try to kill you, and if you're dead, so is your tame, and if you're really resourceful, harvest the bodies of your enemies for meat/prime meat to feed your new pawn of your army.
I’m about to try to tame my first argentavis but first I need to make the trap with dino gates and I need to make a saddle for my pteranodon! Any tips on how to make the trap? -Blizzard
Using it is underrated and good and need darts to noked out
There is this island that us close to the outer artic area were these guys spawn
Check captain fatdog for the best argy trap
If you taming an argie of any level doing bother using a trap.
I just use any fast mount like a raptor, iguanodon and even a Sarco could do the job and I blast it with arrows. Hit and run, hit and run.
By the way I got a 150 argie with this method on a sarco so it works quite well.
Dododex Says you can't knock it out with fists cause 100% chance of death but they are wrong. I just did it on official ASA with a level 90. The trick is you have to let the argy periodically eat your body to regen health. I had to die like 10+ times but it is doable. Some of those deaths were not intentional tho.
Anyway the method is simple (ASA)
Build
-one stone foundation
-three stone walls
-one slanted stone roof
Drop foundation. Put 2 walls down next 2 eachother as double wide doorways. And the 3rd as a secret door. Attach the roof to the middle wall extending out toward the unused opening acting as a funnel. Find low argy. Lure into opening. Go out thru secret door as it follows you in. Viola. Trapped argy. Now position yourself behind the secret door so that your punches hit but his attacks don't and Bam. You k.o. an argy beach Bob style day 1 with limited supplies. You may however want a few beds tho because as I stated. You will be dying a lot and feeding it your own body to keep its health up.
There is however one caveat. Flyers do not like staying in traps with no players in render distance. So you do need somebody to stay nearby to ensure he doesn't fly away when you die.
If you have it trapped let it wake up. Knock it out with tranq arrows. For example a 135 takes 21 arrows and 102 narcotic to keep unconscious. If you use the 21 arrows to knock it out let it wake up and use another 21 arrows to knock it again it will be ready to eat before the second time it wakes. Saves about 60 narcotic in the l process.
Iff your on mobile it's way easier
I still recommend a trap tho
Like the one with 3 stone Dino gateways
1: build the argy trap
could be any kind but recommend the one I was just talking about
So you place the Dino gateways like behind each other
But don't place the door that's facing the argy yet
2: lure the argy into the trap
Again I'm talking about that Dino gateway trap
So stand in the gateway
Shoot the argy and he should be flying towards u
Then move backwards and equip the door but don't place it yet
Iff the argy is in the trap with u then place the door and get out of that trap
3: KO
now just shoot tranq darts or arrows until its knock out
Renember I'm talking about mobile not pc
So then soothing balm and just feed him kibble or meat or prime really doesn't matter
Anyway chuck a saddle on it and you can fly
Anyway it has a around 110% movement speed
Reduces 50 % weight on crystals and other
Idk the health check it yourself
And unlike the pte it can attack while on the ground
And it can attack in the sky
What I mean by that is when you pick up a wild Dino you can basically just attack while your holding it
So yeah
I hope you hated reading this
Bc almost everybody should hate reading
And I hope it helped
Easy rg trap:
Requirements: 3 stone dinosaur gates, 1 reinforced dinosaur gateway, 3 stone pillars and ideally a pt (does not have to be good)
Execution: Once you have found your rg kill all surrounding creatures (leave some bodies for prime meat) then place the 3 stone gateways one by one to make a corridor (leaving a decent gap but not very big) then place the three pillars at the end of the corridor in the center the rg can not fly through this gap but the pt can (test before to make sure you got this right then make sure the gate door is on your hotbar. Go agro the rg with the pt (without hitting it just go near it) then lead it into the trap (remembering to wait for it and keep its agro) and fly out the end then dismount and run around the back to place the gate leave (pt on passive just in case and there we are trapped rg.
If breeding and you have a good male and looking to baseline with a female, when you hatch a female walk it near the full grown male and enable breeding on female when she's done growing she'll instantly lay a fertilized egg...
Just use 15 metal bolas and a basilli turret and catch them
Also place spikes around them while taming ( for safety)
( it is possible that they are with 2 or 3)
