Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a argentavis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a argentavis.
Just shoot with tranqs and if it gets too close run away, they fly really slow
Easy Trap works with wood best with stone
What you need 1Foundation 1Celing and 8 door frames
1place foundation
2 place door frames around the foundation 2 up 3 around make sure there’s a gap on one side
3 place ceiling
4 Then lead the argentavis in the trap and place doorframes over the hole. Haven’t tested on ASA yet
I managed to tame 3 decent level argentavis with my tribemate without a trap.So you only need to take taming weapons and narcotics.
When it eat the corpse it get a regeneration buff, so if you knock it our while it's still regenerating it's food will be drained so you can easily tane it. That's what I did for my 204 wild argie
Make trap by using four stone gateways and two gates. Place the gateways with enough room between for you to get out and not the argy. Then place the gates.
yall out here building traps when you can just lure them into the cave on carnivore island- they cant escape it untill you lead them out with follow whistle or a saddle- just be wary of sabers raptors and scorpions they can fit in the cave- try to stay away from the entrance too cause rexes CAN and WILL reach you by clipping their heads through a wall- have fun with this yall- i got 3 argys by doing this so it 100% works! (just try to not get hit- idk if they can move around good enough to attack you- if so just put down a billboard or something lol their head will poke out if they are aggroed and you can shoot them! you can also shoot from under it too) hope this helps people who have trouble making traps!
This giant flying bird is a great ride it’s relly easy to tame first get a smithy then a primitive longneck rifle and some tranquilizer dart’s for mobile hold and drag it to the gun and find one (I usually find them near cliff’s and stuff) shot it and for me it tamed with no taming stuff it goes up by 8 get around 30 or so meat and boom you got a argentavis enjoy hope this is useful to all who read this
KNOUCK THEM WITH NORMAL CROWBOW!! TRUST ME JUST DO IT WITH NORMAL ONE! So I made a trap and lore the argy in it and when I was shooting him with my Mastercraft crow bow she died. And I lore a another one and he died too!
My argy despawned while it was taming
They are a simple tame for the middle class. Just get some prime meat and a few tranq arrows and DONE. DO NOT LEAVE HIM ALONE IN MOBILE HE WILL IMEDIETLY DIE💀
The insta tame does work BC I did it yesterday and half the food was gone
How to tame an argentavis is if you're bad at the game like me.
Supplies needed- flying mount, tranqs (darts are recommended), and some narcotics or biotoxin
First go to the non snowy mountain in the east (on island btw) then find your preferred argy, next fly in front of his face to get it to aggro. Lead him up the mountain until you get to a spot where you can sit there, then got off your mount and start shooting it, rinse and repeat until he's sleeping. Feed him meat and narcotics and bam you got an argy.

If you don’t want to use a trap just go up to the mountain with a pteranodon and hit one of the Argys at the bottom so it will start following you. Make sure it’s following you as they are kinda slow. Once you get to the top park your pteranodon and shoot the Argy with tranq darts. In my experience there hasn’t been anything up there so you can tame in peace. Hope this helps a little.
EASIEST WAY TO TAME AT ANY LEVEL:
Stock up on trans, 4 - 5 per bird, wait for it to land, walk an aim-able distance away, FIRE AWAY, when it comes close, run towards it while flanking from the side and from behind as it passes, you WILL take a foot or two, so be prepared to have SOME food handy for yourself.
They stay tranqed for a little over 30 minutes. Use that time to starve them whil you hunt some predator or big game to get some prime and VOILA!
I solo play and just tamed 5 Argen in one go. I am going to paint them blue and call them The Blue Angles. 😉
I think the argent is the only flyer worth anything since the update. Speed is ok weight is decent and damage is killer.
Level 45+, if you ever get raided and are wondering what the best dinosaur to start with to help you build up, this is the one.
cool bird for cool people PS: did you know that you can starve tame these almost immediately after knocking it out?
you already know probably but lets still go over it!
set a trap (required)
make it bloody like half HP or low HP
kill ANYTHING than you can drag or kill inside the trap
The argy will start losing hunger rapidly
then any type of meat! since this is a starve tame and it probably wont affect much taming effectiveness, just feed it regular meat!
but i recommend prime meat tho, if its a high level one probably 120-150
Don’t wast materials on a trap. As long as you have a decent longneck, just shoot it. It will run, but as long as you have a good Rifle, you can take the argy out.
When luring into a pen use a pelagornis instead of a pteranodon because they have better health
This is Basicaly a rite of passage tame one of the most nessecary tames for single player
also you can use wood gates for the trap if you need to save materials
