Tip: Fly low in the swamp with an Argy until you find one, then pick it up and fly away to a safe piece of ground far from any water. There you can easily knock it out and tame it
I think their best use is to be a underwater taming buddy +harvesting exploration. These are SO HELPFUL for taming things that take FOREVER to knock out once trapped underwater like dunkleo and plesio. Put them safe in your diving cage and you won't need to bring multiple scuba suits helpful for having more weight for trap materials instead of holding all that armor
Great for getting Chitin, pearls, black pearls, and oil from trilobites, one bite kills and harvest as it has an insane massive boost for killing trilos. I just search with an Argie and pick them up and bring them home to tame them, usually end up picking up 4 or 5 dimes before I get the diplo by accident but I always get one. Also use them to get underwater oil rocks and pearls on the ocean floor.
Jezus christ the content creators for this game. "Let me show you how to get this useful dino to enter the oceans of Ark. You can get it at level 1. I'll be taking my tek rifle so I dont die." What? "I'l also be using s tek scout because I'm too lazy to even walk around the swamp for 5 minutes to make a video about this topic" Wow. "And I'll also be flying around on a tek jet pack" What am I even watching?
Are you going to be doing all the creatures in the game or are you just sticking to the Island? Either way, this series has been extremely helpful to me on my journey to the achievement for taming all the tamable creatures.
I am making my way through all the creatures! Not far off being done with the island now, then on to scorched earth 👍 thank you so much for your support I shall continue to make great videos for you! 👍
