Ride another flyer to that argentavis and call it to follow you. Fly to the nearest mountain and it will land.
ah ok. thanks

There's currently no way to get it down so flying to nearest mountain of the same height will result in it to have a landing position for you to ride it and fly back.

Had the same problem, so I backtracked down the same path I came from and eventually just found him behind me, put the saddle on him & rode him back with no further problems.

Have the same problem, except it is my only flyer. After a fight it just stay far above me. That sucks. Will he starve sooner or later?

Use a spyglass to whistle it.

This.


I often park my bird high in the air, parachute down to my remote ocean base, do my gathering, then use spyglass to call bird back down.

Keeps it somewhat safe from pvp. Can still get sniped, but harder to notice. So I haven't had much issue.

Their is a max range on the spyglass, too, though. Don't leave them Too high.

Same problem, also had to fly to nearest mountain again.

Also. It was lvl 44, after taming with 94% it became lvl 23...

Update: flying to the nearest mountain didn't help...

It considers a certain height as the floor. No matter what you do it won't go lower, it tries but it won't go lower. Also landing it on a high mountain and then trying again, didn't work. It lands on the mountain sure, but it refuses to go below a certain y-axis-level.

Untamed ones also do this on a regular basis.

You're better off getting another, especially if it wont come down and the level is ♥♥♥♥♥♥. Or maybe the server you play on is screwed, what server are you on?
Private server, no mods but not an official one.

I see Argentavis's do this more often. Like they want to attack me but they can't, they just keep floating above me at the same height.

Yes I will abandon this one (already dumped it at a mountain) but it occurs more often and ONLY with Argentavis's.

Server most likely screwed. I play on multiple custom servers and this barely happens. Only happens when it says "♥♥♥♥ you" and throws you off because of stamina
Happened again today. Taming Argentavis on the high mountains is risky. They bug often, like 50% of the time.
