There is a setting that allows you to upgrade movement speed

Might be a bit hard to tame one if you're low level like me, but like all the other comments said, It's absolutely worth it. I had a bit of luck and ran into a level 35 argy, after being chased for a bit and then chasing it a bit I tamed it with raw prime meat and got it to level 40+. Equipped even with a primitive saddle, this bird can tear through anything that's level 30 or below. Terror birds? Sabertooth? Lift up and kill. Need prime meat? Slaughter some paracertheriums or diplodocus. Want a Rex bone helmet? Fly straight into its back and start clawing! So far the only things I have encountered with argy and haven't managed to kill are Titanosaurs(for obvious reasons) and Allosaur packs (I am positive that the argy can handle them with a few easy prey nearby, but I wouldn't take that chance.). No Rex or Spino or Bronto can stand up to it as long as there are other prey nearby for it to regenerate its health. So go ahead and tame one as soon as u can!

Just got my first argy. All I can say is it is AMAZING because of its weight reduction on metal, obsidian, etc. Definitely a must-have for any player. If you like to go BIG on projects or just want loads of extra items, definetly get some extra argys.

Its ability to pick up small to medium sized creatures makes it easier to tame said creatures. You simply build a taming-pen (I use pillars), pick up the creature and drop into pen. Leave gaps between to shoot through. Thanks if you found this useful.

Tame it and an anky to efficiently get metal super easily

Easiest way to get metal

If not playing solo you can grab a ridden Ankylo to fly around to metal deposits to get a quick load of metal with your ankylo riding friend doing all the smashing work.

Works well for beavers and doedi as well.

great for loading up on resources (ore/crystal/obsidian) at the mountains and flying back to your base because of its high weight capacity and weight reduction.

Hello im hawk the argy. Today i will show you my species utility information thingy-

It is a highly reccomended tame to middle game or half middle game players, but since its saddle lvl 62 it may needed some grinding! (Accidently tamed a lvl 1 argy so i repeatedly spam my points on movement speed)

Since its weight reduction of metal its very usefull! It can be your new best freind but it cant travel in caves so i still reccomend bary if u wana do cave hunting or exploring.

How to tame them with no traps!

get ur pt or just travel in the red woods or mountains to find argy’s but becarefull it has saber tooth’s and scorpions there! Id you find one make sure to make ur distance but u can just run far from it while its chasing you since it has the speed of a walking pt.. Once its knocked out feed it stego kibble (mob) Or prime meat! If you tamed it already and its a female. Lucky! Bc making argentavis kibble can tame a spino easily!!

Ok thats all up if this helped you learn. *Flies away to the spino section* (pls check it)

If y’all have a arg saddle I can offer for it on weathertop mobile

Can carry an Anki, anki has better weight reduction on heavy items that argi

EVERYONE....STOP...THEY CAN CARRY A SMALL TAME IN THE MOUTH. AND A BIG ONE IN THE FEET. FOR ANYONE WHO DOESNT KNOW ON CONSOLE ITS YOUR RIGHT JOYSTICK ON CONSOLE.

I would recommend taming after pteranodon because they are aggressive and you can fly away faster on pteranodon. Argentavis has better stats and can carry better Dinos. Taming is not a waste of time

When takes me his is a valuable Dino, I use mine as attack birds and have bred 400% meelee and 4.5k health into mine. If I bring a mate boosted pair they can take out an alpha red with relative ease. Ps this is on an official sever.

Useful for transporting goods across distances I can’t think of any thing else

It has an special utility.

Go to the nearest otter, and press C.

Congratulations, it’s otter taming time.

Wild dinos can still hit you, also avoid picking up kapros, I don’t know why you would do that in the first place but they can still kidnap you mid flight so yeah one minute you’re just peacefully flying holding a kapro, the next your on the ground in the swamp fighting for your life as your argy is being eaten by barys and stuff

If I had to list my top 5 tames here’s what it would be.

Argy, Otter, Equus, Direwolf, Spino.

Argy above all else because they are :

1.Flyers

2.Can Cary most small-med creatures

3.Hp buff when you harvest corpses

4.Great for fighting

5.Needed for taming

6.Weight reductions galore

7.Mobile smithy

So get a darn argy!

On scorched earth me and my dad got the Gatekeeper artifact with these guys. They flight slow, but for long distances which is good.

These are good for carrying stuff

Apparently if there isn’t any meat in the Argy’s inventory on mobile, the thing will eat even Carno kibble when it gets hungry.

JUST AN FYI, DON’T WASTE ANY KIBBLE WHEN RIDING THESE THINGS
