Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a argentavis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a argentavis.
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
If you taming an argie of any level doing bother using a trap.
I just use any fast mount like a raptor, iguanodon and even a Sarco could do the job and I blast it with arrows. Hit and run, hit and run.
By the way I got a 150 argie with this method on a sarco so it works quite well.
To trap team do three or four dinosaur gates in a row close to each other and at the end to place the doors to the gates
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 had found a lvl 20 all black female agry and I led it into that tall mountain and knocked it out, then I went to go kill a lvl 7 diplo I had seen before when I couldn't find it I went back to see just ore and the ground. make sure you got the food to tame it ahead of time or it's going to go get the milk
I would recommend taming a male and female then breeding as this is the easiest way to gain a high stat or army if u wanted to but don't keep going out and taming em it can be hellish especially at dead island
It’s pritty easy just get 6-40 tranq arrows and a couple a couple ptardon I used on and don’t forget narcotics to feed when it’s getting closer to wakeing up and 2-3 stacks of meat and bring the saddle for it with you(if you don’t have a saddle for it ride the ptardon back and put it on follow) and get off the ptardon and tranq it feed it meat and narcotic.
Location mountain.
Bring. Narcotics,tranq arrows, meat, arge saddle.
In MOBILE this does NOT fut through the 1 x 2 at all!
Up so peeps can see
Well from what I've learned when taming an argy is
That a trap works best for me captain fat dog's argy trap works best(captain fat dog is a youtubers if you didn't know) I usually use a crossbow and tranq arrows
But I've killed many high level argy cause the cross bow does way too much damage and not alot of torpor
So I use tranq darts and long neck and no wonder the tranq darts unlock on the same level as the argy saddle
The insta tame does work BC I did it yesterday and half the food was gone
Step 1 use a flyer pt or baryonx
Step 2 bring tranq arrows or darts (ascend or mastercraft crossbow is best)
Step 3 make a trap with 3 stone gates and 2 doors
Step 4 shoot it till it’s knocked out
Step 5 give it prime or prime fish meat or (reguler if you don’t have both)
Step 6 bring naracotics just in case
And you have a argy slap a saddle on that boi and done
In REALLY useful when it comes to Rex taming so if you want me to do rex 20 likes pls
I think the argent is the only flyer worth anything since the update. Speed is ok weight is decent and damage is killer.
Mobile Argy Taming Guide:
Step 1. Go to the top of the volcano and start to make a trap out of either; 3 stone dino gates + 2 reinforced/normal dino doors
Step 2. Get a pteranodon + saddle and find ur argy, attack the argy so that it will follow you (argys have bad following distance to u may need to attack more then once) once its followed tou to top of volcano lead it into you trap, once in close the gates and get a good distance away from it so it dosent attack.
Step 3. Make a tiny box house place a bed or sleeping bag into it and sleep, after u wake up start to tranq the argy, when asleep the argy will have no food in so put ur meat inside the argy and it shouldnt take a while to tame, once done u have ur very own argy!
Extra Tip. If u get a breeding pair breed them at the top of the volcano since it will only require 1-3 torchesto incubate, once fully grown the original female will be ready to mate again!
A common trap for Arial creatures in general is that you craft about 4 stone dino gateways, then place them in front of each other (so that it's just a straight row of gateways). The ones on the outside place a little farther away so that you can walk through the sides, then have gates on the outer gatways having one of them open so that the bird can fly in, once you find the bird of choice, kite it into the trap, go through the side space that is larger on the end, and quickly go round to the open gate to close it and now you have easy tame stuck inside your trap. (You can modify this if you want, particularly the size of the gateways for the bigger creatures and it can be used for terrestrial creatures too if you want)
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
Hi! It's astro again, leaving tips on dinos that you may want to tame.
The easy way on taming an argy/Agrentavis is to build a trap with dinosaur gates (Mostly stone regular dinosaur gates, not behemoth.) You place the gates in a row leaving you enough space to run out of the side. you put 2 doors on either side of the trap !!NOT ALL THE GATES. JUTS THE 2 ON THE ENDS!!, You will open the side with the argy, and keep the other side closed. You agro the argy, and run into the trap, and as it follows you, you're going to run out in one of the side cracks, loop around to the open door, and shut it.
Then you tranq the argy and hope for it to knock out. Then you feed it Prime meat, raw meat, mutton, or kibble (best ones)
If you run out of tranq arrows, do not panic, the argentavis' torpor is very low and will not drain a lot. Go back to your base, make more, the go back and keep tranqing. If your base is far away, ask a friend to keep come over with arrows and bring them to you.
Why is the argy good? Whats its purpose?
Well the argy is very good for carrying items. It has a reduced weight thing with stone, metal, metal ingots, and more. It will split it in half, making the difference by carrying twice as more to your base than needed
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. 😉
EZ tame just get tranq darts then knock it out feed it raw meat or raw prime meat and done you have argentavis
Argentavis
Temper: Distractive to Aggressive
Animal Temper: Docile (Passive, but if an animal attacks it, Aggressive.)
Info:
Argentavis has the second largest wingspan. Only few flying creatures rival it. Argentavis was a carrion-eater, meaning that it was a giant vulture crossed with a eagle and eats corpses with delight. It can be known for it’s massive wings and eagle like body. Argentavis can regenerate lots of health when eating a corpse, and has lots of weight. Lots of weight meant that it could carrie a lot of creatures.
Taming:
Recommended Knockout Choice: Tranquilizer Darts
Recommended Food: Raw Prime Meat
Recommended Narcotic: Narcotics
Traps: 4 Wooden or Stone Dinosaur Gateways and 2 Dinosaur Gateways. Make a gap between the gateways that are large enough for a human but not an Argentavis. Place 2 Dinosaur Gateways on the sides of the trap.
Knockout:
Find an Argentavis, usually with a flyer. Then, kill off any other Argentavis that you don’t want or any other carnivore that could interfere with the taming. After, get the Argentavis’ attention. Land your flyer at a distance between the Argentavis. Then, start shooting it with your knockout method. Really, it only takes a few Tranq Darts to knock it out. Now, feed it with your choice of food. It takes time, but it’s worth it.
Or,
Lure the Argentavis into the trap, then close the gateways. Knock it out, then feed it.
Recommended: Minor Soothing Balm, Narcotic, Flyer.
Imagine using Dino doors…
It’s a good strat tho
