Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a argentavis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a argentavis.
One of the easiest kibble tames due to its high torpor. Knock it out in a safe place, set a timer for about 15 minutes before it wakes up and go about your business. Come back and throw the kibble in and boom theres your argy. Only real high lvls require a few narcs.
Put spikes around it cause everyone wants to kill it
You just might find one unconscious on the side of a mountain like I did.
Ah the wonder Argies. I prefer these over any level Tera. They're stronger, have better base health, weight and stamina. I recommend skipping the low levels and stick to level 100+. It's worth it. 3k health, 5k stamina, 650+ weight, 250+ melee, 150+ speed, and then you've got your self a very very good flying mount
The prime meat count and narcotics while using prime are way low and need to be fixed, I tamed a 140 and it was almost double what was on here
Low lvl argues can be knocked out by hitting it with enough tranq in a short enough period of time to have it's tap or rise even while it's running resulting in it passing out after it runs even if u can't hit it, keep in mind this is best for low lvls
Tame this guy fly up to it with a pteranodon or another mount with good amount of health aggro it and slowly fly it to your base it will lose interest. So you stop for second and re aggro itll follow you across map then have someone tranq it or get off your mount and tranq easy tame from home base! Enjoy!
I find these best for taking on larger animals without losing health, also is a great way to tame smaller animals like direwolves as they can be picked up by the arge.
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
Run around it in a safe area in a circle so it can't hit you
Circle around the argent and it won't be able to hit you. Keep hitting it with tranqs to the head till it's ko'd.
On the normal island go to the mountain near the big red ark. Then get a argent to Aggro on you while you're flying and bring it to the top and then go over the top and fly fast away from it then jut pelt it with tranq arrows and it will be stuck in the volcano
If you have a quetzel just throw a ballista turret on its platform with a chain bola or two and the knockout process is way quicker than building some ridiculous taming pen. Easy tame!
Build a pillar room as close together as possible with a roof and dino gate to trap them and give you easy ko
They are the only center and island animal that can attack something while poking it up
I use a raft with a giant stone hatch frame no door it flies in easily but when trying to escape it get caught on walls
What I did was I kited the argi around on the ground and Tranqed it while it was slowly after me and when it started to run I either tried to shoot or chased it and shot it
When you are taming the argy, It will be at best interest to have a taming bin/area to trap them in but I would recommend using tranq darts because they do little damage and lots of torpor
When taming lure to the top of the mountain and tame there. Less chance of it dying.
It took about 27 prime meat jerky to tame a lvl 20 Argent, better to stick with raw prime meat in my opinion
