Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a argentavis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a argentavis.
Simply side step the talon attack like a bull fighter then as she lines you up again take the beak shot ... rinse and repeat
Trap it sleep near it (single player) then knock it. Easy tame with only meat and little narcotics (for higher levels
This has been said before but I'm writing it a tad differently than top comment, this is the method I use in solo play. These are a very easy tame if you have any type of fabricated weapon. Find an Argy that's away from the group, aggro it, then kill something else with a sidearm or assault rifle while it's attacking you, get near the dead body and when it attacks you (and hits the carapace) it'll get green health buff above it's head.
Knock it out and it's an insta tame.
Here's one of the best tricks in ARK MOBILE : If you sleep (with a bed or a sleeping bag), ALL the dinos in your render food bar will be set to 0 (when you make them unconscious, you can see that). After the taming process, the food bar will return to full again (no matter how much taming food you gave the dino). Thanks for reading
You can instant tame an arg, just need to almost knock it out, and check its torpor with a magnifiant glass, stop shooting it and give it a dead body. Once the arg eats it, shoot it really fast while it has its healing buff. If it’s knock out and still has its buff, the food will drain super fast. GLHF!
There is this island that us close to the outer artic area were these guys spawn
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.
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.
So heres quick taming method on ark mobile you need 3 dino gateways and 2 dino gates put them in front of each other in a row and make a little place in beetwen for you or your tame to get out of that little place after you set up these thing lure the argy in there and close the gate you dont need kibble or prime meat(you can use them for extra fast tame) after you lure in the argy you have to shoot a few tranq arrows or darts(for fast tame)after torpor is half way full you put bed next to trap and sleep after you wake up knock out argy and put meat,mutton,prime meat, ect. And it will tame under 3 minutes you won't even need narcos or bio
I hope it helps ya
Dude I LITERALLY TAMED IT WITH only raw meat ( first you have to kill any animal near it and when it will release green aura you have to tanq it it will take max 6 to 7 arrows if it is low20 to 30 then when it knocked out then put all of raw meat you have the wallha you have a argentravis in few seconds
While they may be intimidating at first, the Argent is fairly easy creature to tame. Get three wooden dinosaur gateways and two gates and place them in a straight line, only leaving spaces big enough for a human to fit through and close one of the gates so it can't follow you straight through. Jump on your other flyer, be it a pterosaur or even another argent borrowed from someone. Lure the agent a couple of feet away until shes lined up just right and then sprint off behind the gate. Jump off your flyer and wait till shes in the trap, then run around and close the gate. After you check the area, tranq away and soon you'll have your very own argent
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
Here’s a tip!! Simple taming pen: stone gate-way, stone pillars, stone roofs! Then a small Dino; like a Raptor or Pteranadon. Shoot, fly in, shut the door, tranq, wait 10 years, feed ‘em some prime, and BOOM!! You got a an Argent! Congrats! HAPPY TAMING!!!!
Taming an argy is not that hard. It doesn't take all those traps people say you need to tame one. All it really takes is courage and maybe a good freind in case something goes wrong. The way I tamed my argy was shooting it once with a trank bullets and luring it away from any dangerous creatures. Once your in a safe area and if you have a fraind with you just shoot as much tranks into him and he's out, it does work without a frai d but it just take a bit longer.
To tame this big bird, you need a couple of dino gates for a trap, alot of tranq darts/arrows, longneck rifle, and some prime meat or kibble if you have any. if this helped click the arrow on the bottom left of this text that is pointing up 👆
Scrolled for a bit and didn’t see this but if you want to tame these amazing flyers wait for them to enter rapid regen (eat a corpse) from there tranq it out and if it’s still in rapid regen when unconscious it will eat food and tame incredibly fast (under a minute for most)
This is for the ark mobile players (including myself) before taming anything I recommend sleeping in a simple bed before knocking out the creature you're gonna tame because it helps and I mean it HELPS alot with decreasing the food of the creature
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
Just shoot with tranqs and if it gets too close run away, they fly really slow
MOBILE Argy trap (also works for ROYAL griffin, tested on both):
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
