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.

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.

Run around in circles while shooting cause they can't turn in a 360 degree circle easily

MOBILE Argy trap (also works for ROYAL griffin, tested on both):

Takes 4 stone gate frames, one reinforced gate, and 3 stone pillars. Pick a spot that is flat and also away from any predators, including compy and dilo. Face going the same way you plan to fly them in, so that gate opens in. Place first frame then slowly walk forward until the frame isn't snapping at weird angles and place it, this gets the spacing right. After placing 4th frame, put pillar right in the middle of it, then stack the other 2. Now walk backwards until you can place the gate in the first frame, I place a torch out front a ways to locate more easily. You now have a perfect Argy trap.

Using pteranodon, agro the Argy then lead in low and slow, opening the gate when you reach it. Pteranodon can slip right through but Argy cannot. Land and hop off, while Argy stays agro on your mount, run back and close the gate.

For taming, shoot with tranqs to partially torpor, sleep, then KO, balm, and rapid tame with raw prime meat (stego is my goto).

-Good Luck

Best method in my opinion:

Get a flyer such a pterodon but a tappy would be better.

Get a decent crossbow or a primitive longneck. Shoot with tranqs and feed food if your choice

To trap team do three or four dinosaur gates in a row close to each other and at the end to place the doors to the gates

Fun fact: If you have an ascendant 305.4dmg crossbow it take four tranq arrows for a lvl 140

I tamed a level 20 by accidentally starve taming it. I had shot it with all the tranqs needed, but I was running, so by the time it went out it was on top of a big rock, forcing me to build a that structure and a ton of ladder up to it. Lol it tamed real fast once I got to it because I had a vulture filled with mutton on follow.

I personally prefer travelling to the mosh pit (On the western coast) and they are so easy to tame! You only need a crossbow and tranq arrows but if they are a higher level I’d recommend building a cage so that the don’t fly away where you can’t reach them (unless you are using tranq darts and a longneck). Kentros, Hynaedons and other argents spawn here so I kill them for their prime meat and throw it into the argent! Enjoy your new argentavis!

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

Bring it a dead animals, as then wild or tamed their food bar will start to drain. Knocking it out then after it has eaten something and still has the healing effect. They will have 0 food and will take very quick

YOO GUYS I think I just made up my own Argy trap randomly from meh brain :O Its cheap, it works well even on mountains.

I used this for trap testing:

1. A Stone Foundation

2. 2 Stone Ceilings

3. 4 Stone Railings

4. 2 Stone Pillars

After building the trap I got attention of an Argentavis and I run trough the entrance of the trap and put 1 railing behind it and BOOM. It worked lol

Note: I can't explain how the trap looks like because we can't share images here.

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)

Definitely must have tame when playing on The Island, get a decent one and you should be good for combat and transport.

If you want to tame one of these do the steps

1. Find a nice level you want to tame

2. Place 3 behemoth doors with no escape

3. Shoot with rifle

4. Place the door when it is inside the trap

5. Knock to out

6. Feed prime meat

7. Enjoy your new argy

Kill an alpha carno which can be found near the volcano and you get a bunch of prime mean, knock out the argy then bam give it all the prime meat and it’s so quick

If theres water nearby you dont need any traps or anything like that. Just keep going in and out of the water because the arge cant hit you if your in the water. (You can only use a crossbow because it can shoot underwater)

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.
