Because this is a small creature, Argentavis can pick it up in its mouth and follow you, meaning you can essentially have a flying Lystro follow you around and give you the Exp buff, just make sure to pet it every once in a while, very useful for when going on killing sprees with a big creature like a Spino Rex or giga and levelling up
Great little guys. Tamed one before knowing what it did and named it Glorble. They’re amazing to take on hunting or resource gathering trips as they give an XP bonus when they’ve been pet. Unfortunately lost Glorble thanks to my low level dumbness thinking I could take on a carbo with an axe. Pro tip- if hunting, keep them out of the thing you’re attacking me reach and set them on passive. Invest in speed and health buffs. They’re not hard to tame, just follow it while holding its proffered berry in your hotbar and feed it when it’s hungry.
I just started out on a new single player world and one of these was the first Dino I tamed, and then also the second, third, fourth and fifth. They follow me everywhere (albeit they are slow) and XP buff each other so they level really fast. I put each level into carry weight and boom- five level 70 pack horses in my first hour on a new ark. Each one can carry many stacks of rocks and wood. The only problem is: they eat all my berries.
