Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a argentavis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a argentavis.
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)
Argy trap (also works for griffin):
Takes 4 stone gate frames, one reinforced gate, and 3 stone pillars. Pick a spot that is flat and also away from any predators, including compy and dilo. Face going the same way you plan to fly them in, so that gate opens in. Place first frame then slowly walk forward until the frame isn't snapping at weird angles and place it, this gets the spacing right. After placing 4th frame, put pillar right in the middle of it, then stack the other 2. Now walk backwards until you can place the gate in the first frame, I place a torch out front a ways to locate more easily. You now have a perfect Argy trap.
Using pteranodon, agro the Argy then lead in low and slow, opening the gate when you reach it. Pteranodon can slip right through but Argy cannot. Land and hop off, while Argy stays agro on your mount, run back and close the gate.
For taming, shoot with tranqs to partially torpor, sleep, then KO, balm, and rapid tame with raw prime meat (stego is my goto).
-Good Luck
Indeed of having four Dino gates use three
If you find one in flat ground, kill something around it and put it in a trap, and the Arge will fly straight in.
Just tamed my first argy, with a few tranq arrows and a crossbow. just make it follow you to a beach with no agros and knock it.
Waaay less scary than you may think
So To Tame a Argy I recommend using Tranq Darts If You have Acess to that If you only have tranq arrows and a cross bow you can use that
On mobile you can actually find them in redwood forest but not sure with pc/console.
Uhmmmm uhmmmmm hello, hello, yes you, you, read this, now!, K if you read this, im just gonna tell you how to tame an argy very easy, but, maybe it's just for me, ok let's start first prepare a Tranq arrows or Tranq dart or some thing to knock it of and a crossbow for the Tranq Arrow and a riffle for the Tranq dart, and then prepare some narcotic for 40 torpor or an bio toxin for a 80 torpor raising, after that go prepare a tamed itchy (itchyosaurus)
And the itchy have to use a saddle, after that, go and prepare a meat, prime meat or kibble if you want to tame it faster, after that ride your itchy, and then just go to the island in the top in the right map ( i forget what the name of the island pls don't judge me ) well the island was on top of herbivore island and it was have much of carnivore, and then after you go to the island i Will not recommended to go from your itchy ( unles for some reason ), coz the island was dangerous, and when you see an argy shot it, and if the Arrow or dart or anything of it hit the argy the argy is gonna chase you then you just need to shot it until it knocked out then put a meat or kibble and surely check the unconcious bar if it reduce, feed it a bio toxin/narcotic, and you have to guard it incase a Dino just attack the argy, and congrats you have an argy
Sorry for the bad English i was an Indonesian just sorry ok

If you want to tame argentavis you have to use 10x soothing balm with raw meat. It takes only 1second
Don’t waste narcotics, Farm a whole load of Narcoberrys they work equal just Narcoberrys need a little more at a time for it to stay unconscious but overall Narcoberrys are good too.
REMEMBER TO MAKE A TRAP. This is really important if you plan on taming a argy. They will just run / kill u
This really isn’t a hard tame. The Argentavis has a “Rapid Regeneration” after eating the corpse of a dead animal. It also has a 50% weight reduction (example: 1 raw metal was 1.0 lbs but is now 0.5 on the argentavis) on Metal, Crystal, and Obsidian!
You can unlock there saddle at level 62! It’s a long journey until you get to that level so tame a pteranodon just to get the hang of an argy!
Your Uncle D🍷🗿
You don’t really need a trap.Just shoot it!
(Unpatched December 2022) How to instant tame an argentavis eliminating the need for narcotics-
Equipment: Tranq arrows w crossbow (or anything else), standard 3 gateway argy trap, dead creature of any kind, this isnt exactly required but a magnifying glass is incredibly helpful
Method: Trap the argentavis and tranq it until it starts fleeing due to high torpor, drag dead creature into trap with argy and wait until it is eaten and it receives a healing effect. The moment the creature is consumed you must knock out the bird as fast as possible, the faster the better the effect. If done correctly the argentavis’ food should drop by multiple thousands allowing you to insta tame. Usually what I do on official is I get a vulture and make it harvest and store mutton (it lasts two hours on its inventory but it cannot be inserted there you must put it on aggressive and on your shoulder and harvest a dead ovis) and do this glitch and tame a few 130+ argentavis’ in 15-30 minutes.
Holds a lot of wight but
You need trap to tame one
Its not that fast but it has more weight then pteradon - health
Hope this helps
Glue is nice and cute and I enjoyed riding glue and damit i shahid d
How to tame an Argy:
Build a trap. You will need a stone foundation, stone doorframe (or fence posts), a stone hatch door, and stone fences. Build a two high tower with doorframes, then one on either side of the trap. Make sure you have space to get out!!! Seal those with a hatch ceiling on top, and stone fence supports on the sides. Now just lead the Argy to the trap. They are territorial so if you encroach too far on their space they will aggro. I recommend waiting for one to land to be safe. Make sure to lead the argy to your trap via the TWO-HIGH doorframes. It won't fit through the one highs and so will go around. Trust me, I know. Once its trapped, just tranq it up. If it escapes the trap, don't panic. Just hit it before it gets too high out of range. If you die, or your trap fails completely, that's okay. Just keep trying and make sure you have a base next to your trap for easy stuff retrieval after death.
if your level 39 or 30 and you have a spear thats made out of metal you dont need anything to kill it just have a shield and a metal spear to kill this is chat is only for killing the argentavis
Ok so , first step is preparation , you can get meat , prime meat or kibble (argentavis needs stego kibble) then you need to make a trap and for that trap you wil meed 5 stone dinosaur door frames and 2 reinforced dinosaur doors then you need to find an argy which want to tame then lure it inside your trap ( there are tutorial vids on youtube for building the trap ) then just knock it out with the tranq arrows and then use the starve method i which you need to knockout the dino and then let it starve (feed it things that will increase its torpor while knocked so it doesnt wake up while youre tying to starve it) then after it has starved feed it the meat or prime meat or stego kibble
And congrats You got yourself an argy now craft a saddle and explore ( argys reduce weight of metal, crystal, and organic polymer when it carries the stuff itself ) hope this helped 😁
May seem a bit extra but once I have it in a trap, I drag a body to it to harvest & then knock it out
