Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a argentavis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a argentavis.
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 :/
If you want to quickly tame one use tranq arrows WHILE it’s using that regen aura it eats food extremely quick taking about 10 seconds to tame
Argies do little damage to structures. If you're on the go and find a high lvl one you could use wood gates to trap it in stead of stone. They are lighter and faster to craft on the go.
I would suggest using a long neck with tranq darts to KO as fast as possible.
Easy to tame just let it follow u and hit it with tranq darts.
Here is how to tame an argie from a very scared cat player:
Get 3-4 gate ways and put enough distance between them for you to get through but not an argie line them up so it looks like this from a side view |||| next grab 2 gates and put them on both ends of the trap meaning the two on the very outside keep one closed and one open.
To trap: aggro the argie and lead it in the trap then close the open door then escape through the gaps between the gates.
Knockout: use tranq darts or arrows to knock out pay attention to the argies health using a magnifying glass is helpful so you don't kill the argie
Taming: argie is a carnivore so use any type of meat best to use mutton or prime meat or kibble if you have any but normal meat will work.
Uses: carrying medium creatures useful for metal gathering during to high weight
There are many of these traps on YouTube if still confused most YouTube vids of ark will use this trap or others.
NO NEED FOR A TRAP. CROSSBOW AND RUN BACK AND FORWARDS WILL DO JUST FINE
To tame a Argy (argentavis) you will need 4 gateways, 2 Gates, about 20-30 tranqs (for 150 argy, with using a corssbow), safe place and prime meat. Firat, place a trap made of those structures written higher, find an Argy, trap it then shoot with tranq Arrow (better shoot in head, because it will gain 1.5x multiplier. I prefer feeling it firstly a dead dino, then knock it out. Feed it raw prime meat, because it gives better taming process.
I watched a YouTuber knock out a level 27 argy using like 10 tranq arrows and a bow.
1. Craft slingshot/tranq arrows + bow (11)
2. Find argy and lure away from other argys
3. Shoot it until falls
4. Put meat in inventory
5. Also (opt.) bio toxin, narcotics, or narcoberries (bio toxin most efficient) for if it might wake up
6. Name him/her something
7. (Opt.) Get saddle (lvl 63) from engrams or free gift or supply crate
8. Use it to kill your friend
Use it to get dire wolf (or another one, rip Winter) (died to stupid alpha raptor, killed it at the same time)
I keep seeing people saying you need a bunch of stuff, but here’s how I did it as a level 56 single player in only hide armor.
Get a flying mount and find an argy (theyre in the snow and tall mountains) , then get close to one (just out of the Agro zone). If you get too close and it chases you, don’t worry, it won’t chase too far! Now that you’re near it, smack it. Just with anything you have. Charge it and smack it. Now that it’s angry shoot it while moving backwards… it doesn’t do much damage as long as it’s below level 40 (on mobile)… that’s basically it! It’ll tame with raw meat (the ratio of food per level is around 1:2) it’ll only take 10-15 tranq arrows, and you only need one narcotic! That’s all!
If u r a ok tribe just have something with about 2.5k health (depending on the lvl or the argy) sit is a area then let the argy attack it while shooting it this is your best bet if u dont have a cage. I did this with a 150 argen.
Se é level entre 50 é 1 é fácil atira vai atrás dela uma 3 4 metros é atira vai atrás dela atira é vai assim se tu tiver perto dificilmente ela vai voar
Mate as argentavis que estão próximas deixando apenas a que você deseja e tomando cuidado pra não acabar esquecendo de alguma já que elas podem te atacar se chegar muito perto e eu sei que as vezes essas águias pousam perto do player como se fosse de propósito pra atacar.
Para fazer a armadilha eu diria pra colocar 3 fundações de pedra (ou qualquer outra coisa desde que não seja de madeira e palha pois as argentavis conseguem quebrar)em formato de L.o que está curvado tem que ter uma passagem de dinossauros nas pontas mais específicamente no mais a frente e o que junta com as duas plataformas e pilares do lado e teto pra argentavis não fugir. Nos outros dois você vai colocar parede moldura de porta. Após levar a argentavis pra primeira parte vc vai tirar o portão de dinossauros que libera pras outras depois pode destruir a primeira parte e agora vai colocar cerca no meio pra bloquear a argentavis de ficar sem mexendo muito. Depois é só desmaiar dar algumas kibbles se tiver algum brontossauro ou diplodoco perto derrote e colete carne prime pra ajudar na doma.
É isso tchau 👋
Steps on how to tame a argentavis:
1. Build 4-5 stone gate frames place them in a straight line place then distant but not to distant or the Argentavis will fly through the top, build 2 reinforced gates and place one at the end leave the other one in your hot bar.
2. Get the argentavis attention, make him follow you into the trap and place the other gate then run through the side.
3. Use around 50 tranqs just in case you miss
Use a primitive crossbow.
4. There carnivores so they eat meat mutton/prime will work or kibble if you have!
There is a easier way to do this.
Just shoot the bird while he is following you when his torpor starts to get High he will try to fly away so trap might be better whichever way you prefer! -Boycicle
Better have low level argy than no argy at all!!! Even low levels have great stamina, not mentioning that their ability to pick up dinos! Trust me, any argy would make your life easier
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 saw this YouTuber make a trap with one foundation, with double doorways placed two high on every side topped with a ceiling. Just make sure before the argy gets in you need to have only six or seven of the doorways placed so the big bird can get in. Once it’s in, place the last doorways and it will be trapped. Hope this is helpful.
First step have 50 tranq darts and long neck. If taming RG level 20 through 50. Step 2 make sure the area is safe with no Baddies. Have soothing bomb. Step 3 have five prime meat. Make a saddle and ride.
Enjoy your RG quick tip they have 50% reduction to metal Stone and obsidian. Please up if helpful.
Every one says you need the Dino doors, You DONT it’s SO easy al you have to do is kill something Agro the Argie the lead it to the body let it eat the body then tranq the fart out of it and then feed it meat no Prime required! Then you have an Argentavis and they are super helpful they can carry dinos and fly long distance and they do good damage I HIGHLY recommend getting one, unless you plan on breeding however then get a male and female and the put on wander. Sorry this was so long I hope I helped y’all!
Just shoot tranq arrowns and wait until its unconscious And tame it with a yummy bronto kibbl3 or a delicious meat.(if ur on mobile just have a soothing balm and its tamed faster)
