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.

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!

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)

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.

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

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

How to tame an argentavis:

A lot of people like to build traps for this, but I just don’t get why

Materials:

A high level pt or another good health Dino if u have cryopods.

A bow or crossbow. Doing the hunt dilo mission will give u a good bow and I use it instead of crossbow.

40 tranqs is enough for crossbow

Process:

1. Find a high level argy

2. Feed it until full health with corpses

3. Use your tanky Dino to tank while you shoot the argy. If the argy’s about to die lead it to a corpse and it regens insanely fast.

4. Leave prime in its inventory. U do not need narcs but if u tame on normal meat then bring some narcs.

Uses:

Super useful weight reductions on I think metal crystal and other late game high tech stuff.

Carries medium-sized animals such as doedic anky and beaver so u can farm with them.

Has high damage and great stamina.

Looks very cool basically collect on the island.

Enjoy your argy!

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!

When luring into a pen the pelagornis is better than the pteranodon because it can fly longer and it's slightly slower speed helps prevent the argy from losing aggro. It may be a good idea to keep a carbonemys or something in the trap to keep the argent occupied while you close the gate.

Here's a budget way of taming an Argy: You'll be needing 4 stone pillars, 3 stone roofs, 3 stone fence foundations and 3 stone doorframes.

To make the trap, first start by placing a pillar, then snap another next to it, after that, place 1 pillar each. Secondly, place 1 fence foundation at both sides, this should make it have a square-type shape. Next, place the last fence foundation at the middle-end at the side of the fence foundations. This will be where you lure the Argy in. Then, place the 2 doorframes at the 2 fence foundations at the side. After that, place 3 roofs in a L-shape facing outwards covering the trap ceiling.

Lure the desired Argy into the trap and place the last doorframe.

If you want to tame a Argy and you’re at the volcano, then you can lure the Argy that you want to tame to in the volcano and when it lands just shoot it with tranq arrows or something. This is how I tried to tame my first Argy and it succeeded. But! This is in Mobile, the volcano might be different in Xbox or others.
