What is a argentavis used for? argentavis battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Great creature to have overall. I tamed a level 70 that SHOULD have been a level 110 after the tame, and as it was eating, I left to get more prime meat and when I came back, 2 sabers were attacking it. It lost efficiency and at the end of the tame, it was level 80. I put absolutely no attack nor health(health was around 1300), and I was attacked by a level 5 alpha raptor with 3800 hp. I decided to fight it cause my arge was a low level anyway, and I won! Other things attacked and whatever I killed, i healed from the carcass, so I was healing while fighting it, (I was landed during the while fight) AND, with every attack, it pushed back the raptor, so it barely even hit me. Very good👌🏽
Extremely useful. They're not fast, bred well they can hit pretty damn hard. Think of them as Jeeps of the sky. From weight reduction on nessescary resources to picking certain Dino's up. Even after the changes i.e can't pick up Baryonx they're still a must in any playthrough. Make taming Otters a breeze by their alternate beak grip
I just tamed one of these, and so far i don’t think I can pick up dinos that aren’t tamed in what I play on. (Nintendo switch) what should be my next dinosaur? I already have two spinos, a stego, a trike, a horse, a Bigfoot, (gigantopithocus) a raptor, a pachy, and those little armadillo things that collect stone well. I had just tamed a rex, but I lost it.
These are meant to be the greatest mining burden buddies you can get. They have reduction of weight for obsidian(for polymers), crystal, and metal(a very important mid-late game resource. They are also able to super heal when they eat corpses, making them less likely to die and more likely to carry more back and forth.
