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

yall out here building traps when you can just lure them into the cave on carnivore island- they cant escape it untill you lead them out with follow whistle or a saddle- just be wary of sabers raptors and scorpions they can fit in the cave- try to stay away from the entrance too cause rexes CAN and WILL reach you by clipping their heads through a wall- have fun with this yall- i got 3 argys by doing this so it 100% works! (just try to not get hit- idk if they can move around good enough to attack you- if so just put down a billboard or something lol their head will poke out if they are aggroed and you can shoot them! you can also shoot from under it too) hope this helps people who have trouble making traps!

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)

How to tame an argentavis is if you're bad at the game like me.

Supplies needed- flying mount, tranqs (darts are recommended), and some narcotics or biotoxin

First go to the non snowy mountain in the east (on island btw) then find your preferred argy, next fly in front of his face to get it to aggro. Lead him up the mountain until you get to a spot where you can sit there, then got off your mount and start shooting it, rinse and repeat until he's sleeping. Feed him meat and narcotics and bam you got an argy.

Jakeywakey out🫡

If you are on mobile or the island.

Climb the mountain in the redwood forest

Reccomend a journeyman bow with tranq arrows or something else with high torpor and a long range but a basic bow should work

Stand fairly far away from the argy it should look about as big as a flying pteradon.

Shoot the argy continuously as it flies towards you dodge if it gets too close otherwise keep shooting it until it faints. Very easy and pretty safe if you time it correctly the argy flees before it gets to hit you.

cool bird for cool people PS: did you know that you can starve tame these almost immediately after knocking it out?

you already know probably but lets still go over it!

set a trap (required)

make it bloody like half HP or low HP

kill ANYTHING than you can drag or kill inside the trap

The argy will start losing hunger rapidly

then any type of meat! since this is a starve tame and it probably wont affect much taming effectiveness, just feed it regular meat!

but i recommend prime meat tho, if its a high level one probably 120-150
