Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a argentavis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a argentavis.
Quick easy tame for beginner players, make a trap with dino gates and its game on
to the person who said that dodo kibble took to long ur wrong actually an argy does not eat dodo kibble it eats meat and stego kibble
(i dunno whether ur on phone or not)
Make a pen 6x2 dino gateway and a couple of rows of doorsways (no doors),leave one wall tile out. Get Argi to follow you back to pen on pteranadon stop at pens gateway,wait for Argi to hit you fly out missing wall tile straight ahead (at a sprint speed otherwise you'll get stuck), once out park bird right infront of Argi....run round and close gate. Better to build this just out front of base incase it goes to attack dinos but also makes it a nice close and safe tame. Good luck
The saddle level should be lower. I am not a very skilled player and I could have been flying with one of these 20 engram levels ago
Definitely must have tame when playing on The Island, get a decent one and you should be good for combat and transport.
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!
I just tamed up a boyfriend for my female argy and I named him striker all you need to do to tame one is get some tranq arrows and meat you only need nine arrows depending on it's level once it's nocked out just feed it meat and you have an argy up this if it helps.
Argentavis can no longer be tamed using the starve method in which you activate the regen buff before you knock it out so it drains all of its food. It’s been patched my friends.
If you on ark mobile use you ancient amber to buy soothing balms they are the only reason why I have one and it is super worth it
It’s really easy to tame these early game even if you can’t ride them yet, I’ve had them as a air defense for a bit, just make a 2x2 or 3x3, bottom walls are actually doorways and top ones are actual walls and don’t forget the roof, leave one wall completely open and have a friend or yourself shoot the argy with a tranq and run in and block off the wall, they’ll damage the walls but won’t break, I’ve done this with a 145 argy
Real people tame this on the redwood mountain with no trap and just fish meat and tranq arrows.
I was so lucky with taming me first one, as soon as it was close to being knocked out it flew away and I ran out of darts, it glitched into a wall and I was able to punch it unconscious lol 🤣
There is no point to have a trap have a pt and shoot it fly away make it follow you then shot it again then repeat
What they don’t tell you is that the head hit box is so small that you’ll end up getting a body shot no matter what so make sure you have more than enough tranqs
I always find the easiest way to k.o them is pulling them to the top of the volcano and running towards its feet fired darts or arrows. At the top when they attempt to run away they don't really fly up.
I’ve heard lots of people say you need a trap to tame this guy but all you really have to go is put like 3-10 tranq arrows into it depending on its level
Found one at the base of the mountain, lured it to the top with my pteranadon so it wouldn't get eaten by other predators. Some tranq darts and raw meat and was good to go
Everything in ARK that should be straightforward seems to always mess up. Can anyone confirm that the Captain Fatdog trap absolutely, 100% works? I’m planning to head up northwest, set up the cheap trap on the beach, and kite an Argy into it from the snow.
If you don’t have an argentavis, make a trap!
1. Build a chicken coop or a lamppost like trap
2. Find this majestic creature
3. Lure it in
4. Block the creature so it can’t get out
5. Knock out or kill!
And boom! You completed hunt: argentavis prusit or you just got your first argentavis!
If your on scorched earth use one of the moth things to distract+ slow down with their fart
