Utility Tips

What is a argentavis used for? argentavis utility tips and 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👌🏽
A Jack-Of-All-Trades, the argentav(is) a must have 😉. It has a 50% weight reduction on metal, crystal, AND obsidian. With an Amazing weight and melee stat, after a while you can make up for it's snail's-pace by putting the rest of its levels into speed. For a trap, look up "Captain Fatdog Argy Trap" CF is an amazing tutor for dino traps galore! Signed -Mantyll
Argys aré one of the best tames, they can pick up anky's (who have like, Weight reduction on metal and obsidian if im not wrong) and be used to farm metal like crazy.
If on aberration, karkinos Is also good because It can pick two anky's and farm metal like crazy x2 whit the con of Weight and not being a flyer.
Argys aré pretty tanky and great fighters.
Theire saddle also permits them to be flying small bases due to It being a forge.
Theyre quite easy tames due to not being fast and because if theire dying you can feed them any corpse.
A trap made out of four-five wooden/stone normal Gates, two doors for these and placed infront of each other wide enough to be passed trought by you or a small tame like a raptor and you'll have one in no time.
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.
