Tips & Strategies

When taming a high level Pteranodon, always starve tame it that way you don't waste/lose your kibble if somebody/something hits/kills it.
Especially for newer players. Make sure you keep an eye on the stamina bar. You don't want it to run out while airborn. I've lost a bird or 5 to that alone.
Tame a level 100+ and you got yourself a bird that can kill alphas. (As long as you get the melee damage high)
I didn't realize for a Looooooooooong time how useful the barrel roll is. Seriously, I've killed alpha rexes with it. Give it a shot!
When knocking pteranodons out, be sure to have a bola, it doesn't take many tranq arrows to knock it out. Once it is down, put spike walls up around it (with a little space so you can go in and out) so it doesn't lose taming efficiency or die.
Argy is rated higher for gathering prime but these things spin attack will get much more prime than an argy
To kill pretty much anything on these birds, tame a high level, then pump stam to 3k, then the remainder in melee. Barrel roll into alphas etc. But keep eye on Stam. Never regen Stan on ground, know your ledges!
Start a dodo farm and grow rockcarrot to make kibble it takes time but is worth it completely go for high lvl as low levels aren't really worth it
A bird that will constantly screech into your ear.
Make sure you wait 5 seconds in between your tranq shots so you can get the maximum amount of torpor from each shot this way you don't have to waste any ammo!
What till a double Xp and taming weekend and get more levels due to efficiency,on a 150 it would be the same as a gen2 breed bird.
If your playing PvP go around and knock out several high levels, check the stats, go for the best Melee and you have yourself a War Bird
Stick to the beaches in the southern zones for easy find and easy tame without much predators to attack you
Bolas Are A Bit Messed Up Right Now, so Bring more than you will need. Also bring more narcotics and kibble than the the calculator tell you to, just incase it is slightly wrong ;)
RIP Pteranodons 4/26/17 flyer nerd patch. Your movement speed and stamina will be missed.
Since the bird nerf, these things are not near as useful. Still, if you get one level up stam and a bit of weight. This is so you can fly across an ocean without running out of stam and dropping into a pool of jellyfish to have your butt hair zapped off.
Be sure you whistle (follow) when riding your tame. If you accedntly jump off or get saddle jacked off your bird, he will follow you to the ground and you will have a better chance to recover your tame.
Don't say puh-tera-don it's ter-ana-don..
Best way to knock them out is to bola it, then fire 2-4 tranq arrows. Kibble is godly for taming high levels
nerfed! be very careful now they Nerfed flyers. there set speed is set to 100 and you can't add points into speed anymore. so plan your route cause you will need to stop while flying long way.
