Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a argentavis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a argentavis.
Don’t tame this thing while it flies over the forest.. Its unconscious body will be mauled by 10 raptors
Requirements: parachute, cross bow, and tranq arrows
Make the argy Agro to you and be on top a mountain/hill jump of the hill with the argy Agro to you, shoot in the head and it should get knocked out if you hit enough head shots
One of the most easiest tames ever. Tranq them prime meat or kibble slap that soothing balm (if a high level) ta daa!!! Say hello to your new argentavis. It's so easy a ran on foot and knocked it out aim for the head they do bonus torpor.
Imagine using Dino doors…
It’s a good strat tho
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
If you are willing to tame an Argentavis do not keep on shooting it with darts or tranqs otherwise it will die. So shoot it and wait about 5 seconds before shooting it again to prevent it from dying. Do not tame an Argentavis on Carnivore Island as it will get eaten.
Shoot the agry with narco arrows, then when it trys to fly away put a dead body or animal and let it eat it. Then nock it out if u do this the taming will go by faster and your arggy will be a better level too! I hope this helped! :)
Spawn on volcano near the snoe biome on the island. Bring a friend to trank and tapejara with saddle. Have friend use front passenger seat and face the argy and back up while they tranq, then feed meat.
Argentavis, a must have mid-game tame. Tamed easily with a Pteranodon this way:
Agro it with your Pteranodon (You CAN use a low level ptera but I recommend at least a level 50) get away from it dismount your Pteranodon shoot it and get away with your Pteranodon, repeat until the Argentavis starts geting away from you or you knock it out. When it starts geting away just follow it and knock it out. You can ise crossbows for lower levels but for higher levels you should use a longneck rofle with tranq darts of course. For low levels raw meat is enough, but for higher levels you still can use raw meat instead of raw prime meat but you will need more narcotics and you will need more time and it will have less levels. For accurate amount of narcotics and food you need use this awesome app of course. Hope this helped anyone tame this must have giant vulture.
How to tame an argy. What you'll need: narcotics, biotoxen, or narcoberry, fur armor (for if your tameing in tundra), tranq darts (or arrows for bow), long neck rifle,
Sanguine elixir (optional), (if you want argy saddle), dino gates and gateframes (optional). Argy locations: carnivore island 🏝, the red peak, the volcano 🌋, like anywhere in the tundra, I think on Griffin Mt /fars peak,To tame argy: first craft long neck rifle or bow (not unless you have one already), next craft narcos for crafting tranq arrows and /or darts, next craft amount of tranq darts or arrows according to dododex, next craft dino gates and gate frames (optinal) ,then craft fur armor (for those who are tameing in tundra), if you ran out of narcos for keeping argy asleep 😴 then craft more, now your ready to tame your argy , first go to one of the locations i listed and find argy then build pen (optional)with dino gateframes in a line then place gates at both ends then open a gate (make sure that there is a gap between each gate so you can get in and out but argy can't) aggro argy and run into pen then the argy will be inside pen then close the door the argy cant escape then use darts (or arrows ) to knock out argy, once knocked out then give raw (or prime) meat to tame and feed the narcotics,biotoxen,or narcoberries regularly (id perfer biotoxen though)then just WAIT ✋️ ✋️✋️✋️✋️✋️✋️✋️✋️✋️✋️✋️ and eventually you'll get a argy. To tame without pen: just knockout with darts or arrow and give meat 🍖 and narcos regularly JUST WAITTTTTTTTTT✋️✋️✋️✋️✋️✋️✋️✋️✋️✋️✋️✋️✋️
PS.This took me FOREVER to type so hope this helps you😀.
To insta tame a argy first you gotta die and respawn then give it just enough torpor but it's still not asleep then drag your body and let it eat the body then knock it out its hunger will go down instantly so it will any type of food then you have an argy
For instant tame just let it harvest a creature when it nearly falls asleep. Then knock it out, I tamed my first one of the server I am playing in, it took me a while ngl. But it was worth it since it exceeded the max level.
The way I got my Argentavis was by / walking away from it not too far and not too close\ and when it isn’t over the water I shoot tranquilizers at it with a long neck rifle and try too shoot it at the head or anywhere in the head. I prefer armor just in case it does attack
You can find these in the snow place
Short Taming Guide:
1) Go to East beach by giga mountain (North 1 / East 3).
2) Set up the argy trap on the beach (4 stone gateways with one gate at each end).
3) Place down some beds for back up.
4) This area often has argys flying around on the beach, so if you see one shoot it with an arrow and lure it into trap.
5) Tranq it using body shots mainly.
Please note this is a guide for those who lack a flyer or tame which can get them to more dangerous argys spawn zones.
I feel like dodo needs to add another KO factor for X creatures now the genesis is out cuz they take way more darts than a normal argy
For beginner players the easiest way to tame one is to find a lower level around 10-15 lead it away with another flying animal most likely a pteranodon and shoot it with a cross bow and Tranq dart takes around 5 once it’s knocked out place prime meat and soothing balm it takes less than 10 minutes.
I don't know why but a lot of people use 5 gateways. It can get trapped in just 3
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
Do NOT try and breed these until you have that air conditioner unless you wanna end up in the tundra with 6 campfires and a wall of spikes like me :/
