Utility Tips

What is a argentavis used for? argentavis utility tips and strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If in the event you are unfortunate enough (like me!) to be chased by a wyvern while you’re on your Argy and can’t escape and fighting is the only option, circle around the wyvern as tightly as you can so it can’t use a breath attack on you. Keep as close to it as possible and keep hitting that attack button. However you should only do this if your bird is a high level and has decent stamina, health and melee. Otherwise, gtfo if possible. I just got jumped by a lv. 190 lighting wyvern and I have no idea how my bird and I survived. Quetz is a very good boi and killed the wretched thing. Argies are best flying mounts, change my mind.
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
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
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.
