Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a argentavis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a argentavis.
This is how you tame it 1 get two stegosaurus.2 breed them. 3 craft kibble. 4 go to fars peak ( or the snow) 5 get a prehistoric hawk-eagle-falcon yay 😃!
You just need 3 Dino gateways and 2 Dino door. Place then close enough so you can fit through but the argy can’t, and place door at either end. Leave one door open and get it to chase you in.
Build 4 Dino gates with enough room to fly a pt through or just yourself on foot, put a Dino gate on front and rear Dino gate keep one shut depending what side you're running the argy into, dash through the gap close the other gate. Much easier and faster than building elaborate pens with 30+ doorways etc can be thrown up anywhere so you can tame far away from your usual spot.
You can easily find then in high mountain-areas bring a pteradon as your back up the shoot it with tranquil arrows/darts and bring steggokibble and a few narcotics just in case. Then protect your tame so it does not fall as prey to other carnivores. Always start with a low level then once your level'd up go for the higher ones. Don't forget to bring the saddle!. And lastly please make sure your tough enough to face the surrounding area
Careful if you tame one without a saddle, I lost my first one to a Baryonyx on the way back to my base.
Always have tranq. Arrows at hand these birds are annoying
Build a taming cage for it and a eat a rare flower while in the cage so you can lure it in the cage.trn from there it's a easy)KO but make sure to wait between taking shoots using tranquility arrows.
Lure one from carnivore island using a pteranodon so you can tame it without the dangers of the deadly dinosaurs.
Just tamed a level 1 with normal raw meat. Took no narcotics at all. It's torpidity didn't even drop below half way. Yet according to this guide it needs 6 narcotics for a level 1.
Build a cage with stone pillars and a small dinosaur gate on a boat. Sail to their spawn and lure them in.
These birds usually spawn in dangerous places, lure them out to somewhere safe and start to tranq it.
Most tips should be erased as they were posted pre flyer nerf. Carry weight and stamina are the only things you should increase. Remember to rest your bird.
If you just want la ton just use an argratravis and drop me in a pen and use ranges KO.
This Dino is extremely good mid game because it can carry sabertooths dire wolfs etc, it also has good weight so you can take it on metal runs
Set up a ballista on your base if you live near where they spawn, and shoot them out of the sky using Chain Bolas. Be sure not to let them fall from too high, as they could easily die.
In my opinion, nothing beats an Argentavis when It comes to collect Prime Meat, Fish or Normal. Helpful in Scorched Earth(Used to steal Wyvern Eggs), but you'd need to be real fast or real lucky to get away from one. I once had a large cage full of them(if I remember, I had 9.), and I rarely was defeated with them(NOOOOOO MANTICORE), but overall, they are a truly amazing creature in the game.
When you have KO the tame put a wood spike fence around it to protect from other dinos
For easy kill, hide in the water and shoot out with crossbow or use a pike. It won't often be able to reach you from piking range
To knock out very efficiently, have a high health pteranodon and lure it to a mountain or safe place for you and let a friend shoot tranq it while you fly in circles and let it hit you. Easy. By the time it stays running, you should of put enough shots in to get it a few seconds after it runs
On the Island there are lots of them on the eastern side of the north-west mountain, where you can aggro them with your Ptera and lure them to the near beach. Kill more argies for prime meat and fast taming.
