Lure it up Far's Peak into the crater in the middle (The area with lots of metal and obsidian rocks). Now, get the Argentavis to aggro on you by flying past its face with your mount (Other nearby Argentavises may also aggro on you, so try to get them to de-aggro or kill then while you lure the only one you want!). Also, there is an exclusive extra optional step for Mobile players like myself! Now let's get you that Argentavis of yours! Do note that you still need a flyer (I (I recommend the Pteranodon) for this method. I also recommend that you do this on Far's Peak (I play on Mobile, but you my try to adapt this to the version you are playing!). This method is cheap and recommended for lower level players. Wait a little while and tadaa!!! You now own an Argentavis! Now that you have trapped the Argentavis, shoot it down and feed it Raw Meat or Prime Meat (Just like the Rex guide I made, you can also go out to hunt for Prime Meat while the Argentavis is taming, but make sure you don't leave it for too long and have it wake up! Feed it your Biotoxin/ Narcotics if you feel that the Argentavis might wake up soon. Quickly close off the other side of the trap with your second dino gate. Place 1 gate at the end of the row, and lure your Argentavis into the trap, running out from the gaps left between the gateways. However, the trap used for the Argentavis is different from traps i have used in past guides. Now you're all ready for taming! Let's go!įor taming an Argentavis, there are a few methods:Īs usual, we can trap Argentavises. Hide Sleeping Bag (For fast taming option on Mobile) NOTE: You may use slingshots (Rock) if you are lacking taming weapons and ammo. Taming Weapons + Ammo (Bows/ Crossbows (Tranq Arrows), Longneck (Tranq Darts/ Shocking Tranq Darts) ) Looking to tame one of the best flyers in all of ARK? Well, take some time to look through this tip/ guide! Before we start, let's get ready for the process Congrats! You've trapped an Argentavis! Now good luck taming it! Then quickly land, get off your Ptera and close the front gate. Open up the front gate, mount your Pteranodon, and lead the Argy you want to tame into the trap, flying out of the gap you left. The front is the one that has two others behind it, and the rear gate is the one that's farther away from the others. Once you've made sure your Ptera can fly through that small gap, place a reinforced dino gate on the front and rear gates. This is so your Pteranodon can fly through the gap, but make sure you only have enough space for your Pteranodon, as you don't want the Argy escaping. Place 3 of the gateways close to each other in a straight line, making sure you can go through all 3 of them in a straight line, but place the 4th one a little farther away from the others. In terms of how to tame it, I'd recommend taming a Pteranodon and setting up a trap near the Argy you want to tame, as both of these will make taming the Argy MUCH easier.Ī good trap is made with 4 stone dino gateways and 2 reinforced dino gates. The Argentavis has a weight reduction of 50% for Black Pearls, Crystal, Metal, Metal Ingots, Obsidian, Organic Polymer, Polymer, and Stone, and its saddle acts as a mobile smithy.
