Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a argentavis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a argentavis.
How to tame an argentavis:
A lot of people like to build traps for this, but I just don’t get why
Materials:
A high level pt or another good health Dino if u have cryopods.
A bow or crossbow. Doing the hunt dilo mission will give u a good bow and I use it instead of crossbow.
40 tranqs is enough for crossbow
Process:
1. Find a high level argy
2. Feed it until full health with corpses
3. Use your tanky Dino to tank while you shoot the argy. If the argy’s about to die lead it to a corpse and it regens insanely fast.
4. Leave prime in its inventory. U do not need narcs but if u tame on normal meat then bring some narcs.
Uses:
Super useful weight reductions on I think metal crystal and other late game high tech stuff.
Carries medium-sized animals such as doedic anky and beaver so u can farm with them.
Has high damage and great stamina.
Looks very cool basically collect on the island.
Enjoy your argy!
For high level argys you will need to build a trap using 3 dinosaur gateways and 2 gates, but for low levels you can just dart them and wait for them to fall.
Looking for the safest way to tame an Argy in the Redwoods? Here's your guide!
Step 1, grab a Pteranodon and fly over to the Red Peak.
Step 2, set up a little camp and build your trap, I used the 5 stone gateframes and the reinforced gates with a bit of space between each
Step 3, find your Argy
Step 4, lead them to the trap
Step 5, hover at the entrance and wait for them to be right behind you
Step 6, fly in
Step 7, the Argy should be in there, and if you have any other tames, aggro onto your other tames until the gate starts to close
Step 8, close the gate
Step 9, knock it out, or do the starve feeding glitch
Step 10, give it any meat, raw meat gives about 10% per feeding so it's not that bad
Step 11, wait for a bit
Step 12, name your new Argy!
Good luck and use this info how you will! I tamed my two Argies, Kokichi and Shuichi, with this
Happy and safe hunting! ^^

If you build I trap with four Dino gateways and on both sides put door you can trap them as long as you lead them in a close the door behind them. After that search up how many tranqs it’s gonna take to knock it out then do like 3 less then that amount. Afterwards bring a dead body to it and let it eat it. Once it’s done eating it should have a green aura then you knock it out. This makes it so it’s food drains faster.
Here’s a recommendation for easy mode players.
1. Find a good argy
2. Shoot near 15 tranq arrows at it
3. Put a stack or two of cooked or raw meat inside
4. Sleep in a sleeping bag and give the argy some narcotics
5. Wait a few more minutes
Congratulate yourself
Easy Trap works with wood best with stone
What you need 1Foundation 1Celing and 8 door frames
1place foundation
2 place door frames around the foundation 2 up 3 around make sure there’s a gap on one side
3 place ceiling
4 Then lead the argentavis in the trap and place doorframes over the hole. Haven’t tested on ASA yet
Just shoot tranq arrowns and wait until its unconscious And tame it with a yummy bronto kibbl3 or a delicious meat.(if ur on mobile just have a soothing balm and its tamed faster)
An argentavis can't fit through a ceiling with one tile missing, but a pteranadon or lymantria can. Build a trap with one corner ceiling missing, aggro the argentavis, fly in one side and out the missing ceiling tile, and land. Dismount, run around, and close the entry door. Tame safely at your leisure.
I killed a lvl 50 alpha raptor in under 2 mins
On one of these
They’re amazing
So i was looking for a rex for trex arms for my wall mount then i saw a LEVEL 110 ARGENTAVIS up if i should tame it down to murder it without mercy
If you on ark mobile use you ancient amber to buy soothing balms they are the only reason why I have one and it is super worth it
Ok not the best here are some methods of tame and kill
1.come to spawn zone(bring a friend or if you are appolo don't bother)
2.have your buddy aggro the argy and run in circles(no speed levels required)
3.then shoot argy with tranq
4.Build saddle and tame argy with meat or fish or prime or kibble I tame with fish and prime I'm to lazy to make kibble.
5.fly on the wings of hell
(Or if you want to hunt do all steps before 3 and Tous what ever killing weapon you want)
-wings of ark-
If an Argy you’re trying to tame is spawned in a dangerous spot (A place where lots of predators also spawn and could possibly kill the creature you’re trying to taming) Set up spiked walk around the area, so predators get killed or hurt when they walk too close to the spiked walk) This usually works for most predators.
If you want to tame a Argy and you’re at the volcano, then you can lure the Argy that you want to tame to in the volcano and when it lands just shoot it with tranq arrows or something. This is how I tried to tame my first Argy and it succeeded. But! This is in Mobile, the volcano might be different in Xbox or others.
To that one dude who used ancient Amber's to buy soothing balms. Tip for you dude just go for the artifacts and do the save trick to manipulate the reward that the artifact tribute will give you to get 10x soothing balms
Level 45+, if you ever get raided and are wondering what the best dinosaur to start with to help you build up, this is the one.
If you need an argy and don’t have time to tame one with a trap, just go to carno island, kill a Dino in front of an argy and let it harvest its body. When the green health icon shows up on top of it, knock it out with tranq arrows and the argy is instantly yours.
Don't forget to build a taming hut / room and lure the bird in. They fly off and don't come back if you start tranqing them in the wild.
Build an argy cage with 6 foundationd, 1 dino gate, 24 or 32 doorframes, then ceiling. You have to lure the argy inside so you can shoot it down safely cause they fly away when almost down.
There is a working glitch right now that allows you to (almost) instant tame these things. First, trap the Argy in a simple trap you can walk out of but the Argy cant fly out of. Second, put all of your items in a box next to a sleeping bag next to the trap and then commit die. Respawn at your bag, shoot the argy with lots of tranqs and use dododex to make sure you dont knock it out. Third, take your dead body and drag it within reach of the Argy, once the Argy consumes it its head will glow green, now knock the Argy out the rest of the way and its food bar will be drained heavily.
This allows for a near instant tame and works best on the lower levels. Using this method on an Argy makes it a faster name than a Pteranadon.
I used this on Thanksgiving day 2019.
