Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a argentavis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a argentavis.
There are two traps for getting an argy trapped.
4x stone dinosaurs gateframe
2x reinforced dinosaurs gate.
The a other is the best because is really cheap. Look ok youtube "captain fat dog argentavis trap" its the best trap for argy, plus is 3 times cheaper
Me and my friend have about 50 of these from breeding. Just tamed 2 and let them breed. Eventually grew into an air force stronger than the US army, when combined with wyverns. We are going to try them out as a giga killing squad! Up if we should
I was taming a level 135 on mobile, and ran to get some wood, and it disappeared. It was because of a stupid mobile bug. This is the second time it’s happened to me.
Their so slow you can Just shoot them with tranq arrows without a Trap or Something , even at pretty high Levels, Just be sure you are ready to Chase them for a short time If they start to flee
They can’t be bola and they also don’t have call damage so if you knock it out in the air it won’t damage the argentavis
This is the best thing you can get in ark. It can transport items and dinos really good for attacking me and my friend have just got a level 124 one and a 54 one and we killed an alpha raptor in 2 minutes XD
How to tame and utility:Usually found in ‘cold’ areas of the map Argentavis have weight reduction on Metal,Organic Polymer and Stones.
To tame take some sort of flyer to the outskirts of the North Zone.From there wait for 1 of them to enter rapid regen (eating a corpse/dead body) as then they will consume food extremely quickly (at most 1 minute to fully tame)
Pls get a saddle before taming one
I literally had to tame 10 argy because all kept dying due to rex or something on the way
Just shoot with tranqs and if it gets too close run away, they fly really slow
HOW TO GET IT TAMED FAST! First get soothing balm! You can do this by going into any cave and grabbing the artifact! You don’t have to make it out the cave alive btw! Then tribute so you get rewards but before you do! Save curent game then tribute, so that way you can get easy soothing balm by restoring if you dies t get it! Easy words for this is: get balm by saving game then tribute and restore game until you get balm! You can also just save game in caves to not fight monsters, because when you save they go away! And if you want to be safe then use ur camera to look through the ground and walls withougt having risk! TADA now you can cheEEAt with minimal effort to get rewards and amber if your lucky when you tribute! MAKE THE ARROW POINT TOWARDS SOMETHING ABOVE YOU IF THIS WAS HELPFUL! also you need some raw meat to feed it, and the purple balm. By:Just your fellow helper
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
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
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!
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.
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
My argy despawned while it was taming
The insta tame does work BC I did it yesterday and half the food was gone
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
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.
I think the argent is the only flyer worth anything since the update. Speed is ok weight is decent and damage is killer.
