After a successful mate, the VR Argentavis lays a fertilized egg.Incubation temperature must stay between 12°C and 13.5°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range.At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 2 hours and 56 minutes.

After hatching or birth, the baby VR Argentavis matures over a lengthy period, reaching adulthood in about 2 days and 6 hours at 1x maturation.Hand-feeding is required until 10% maturation.After that, a Feeding Trough handles the rest.

Mutations can add +2 levels to any stat and change colors.Stacking mutations across generations is the key to min-maxed breeding lines.Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.

Raising a baby VR Argentavis involves three maturation phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~327 min and requires constant hand-feeding.Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~22h - it can eat from a Trough now.Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~27h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the VR Argentavis's stats, and hitting 100% grants a 30% combat bonus when the imprinter rides it.Imprint requests include cuddling, walks, and specific kibble - check the wiki for which kibble to stockpile.

Planning a mass raise?The VR Argentavis raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste.The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~327 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.

Raising multiple VR Argentavis simultaneously?Set the dino count and the calculator scales food requirements automatically.Match your food choice to your play schedule - longer spoil timers mean less babysitting.

ARK: Survival Ascended features the VR Argentavis as a flying, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild.Classified under the Variant group.

With 400 base Stamina, the VR Argentavis has respectable staying power.Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it solid damage output.Starting at 365 Health, it's decently sturdy.Weight capacity starts at 400, giving it generous inventory space.

The VR Argentavis cannot be tamed and must be dealt with through combat or avoidance.Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 12°C–13.5°C temperature window.It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.68 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
