What is a argentavis used for? argentavis battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
My answer to the Would you Rather question-
Personally, I’d rather infinite stamina over weight. Yes, the whole point of an agry is to carry tons of weight, but they already have tons of weight reduction on a lot of things.
Since argies are not really fast, I have to land all the time when carrying my anky, leaving both me and it exposed to predators (Keep in mind, I don’t have cryopods yet). Having infinite stamina would avoid this problem entirely.
However, this is just my opinion. I’d love to see what other people think as well!
Ah, the Argentavis. What can be said about this giant hawk boi that hasn't been said already?
I like to have what I call 'mobile mines' depending on what resource I need at a time. I usually keep 3-4 Argys around my base, alongside my Dodecs and Ankys. If I'm low on stone, I take my Dodecs with this thing. If I'm low on metal, I use it with Ankys. They make resource runs so much easier and their saddle makes smithing on the go a breeze. Plus, they aren't squishy, so using them in combat is very practical. They are slower than a Ptera, but having more stamina makes up for it.
So i tamed and argy level ten (im on easy mode btw) i used a soothing balm and a stego kibble to tame it. After i tame it it become level 22 and have like 800 stamina up if i should try get good meele and health argents to bread with it down if i shouldn't bother . (Other stats average btw)
The most common trap is the Dino gate trap, might I suggest DONT USE THEM?! They are highly inefficient and take a while to set up. I used this method to tame a argy and both times took around 15 minutes so that’s half an hour of trying to trap a bird lost. That’s the inefficient part. The tedious part is tryna build it. This method is viable if you build like 10 gateways and the gates open out. Best way to get argies is by watching videos on making taming pens/ traps for them
