If you're looking to take to the sky, then pteranadon is totally your guy,
Just bola their legs,
Tame with dodo eggs,
And the to the mountains you can fly.

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.

Tame a level 100+ and you got yourself a bird that can kill alphas. (As long as you get the melee damage high)

Dont fly into gigas mouth

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.

Argy is rated higher for gathering prime but these things spin attack will get much more prime than an argy

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.

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!

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

A bird that will constantly screech into your ear.

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

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.

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!

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 ;)

When you encounter this bird it is passive unless you take its egg. It's battle attacks are a spin attack and it does the most damage. The other one is a bite attack at it's not as effective. So when in battle do a spin attack to beat your foes.

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.

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.

Best way to knock them out is to bola it, then fire 2-4 tranq arrows. Kibble is godly for taming high levels

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.

If one were to tame a low level pteradon, it should be put to use as a travel bird, nothing more, for it is too weak for anything else. However. High level pteradons are excellent for fighting, kibble tamed 100+ can be used to kill alphas, in packs, or alone in niche cases.

RIP to Pteras :( they were once so great and now have been nerfed into a almost useless animal. Oh how much harder it will now be to get prime and a lot of other things. :(((

RIP Pteranodons 4/26/17 flyer nerd patch. Your movement speed and stamina will be missed.

When fighting someone on a pteranodon, 1 bola can take him out of the battle. No matter the level.

I rarely pick anything else to kill with, nearly 300% damage and not much attacks from targets will land. My bird is packed on health stamina and damage. quite simply the best tame ive got by far plus it harvets fairly good amounts of meat.

The usual choice for your first flier. Once you get one of these you can more easily explore the island. I use them for expeditions from the safe southern islets to obsidian and crystal rich mountains up north. Just watch their stamina, you don't want to be forced to land in the middle of a war zone.

Do not underestimate these, lost a 218 rex to two guys on pteras, the barrel roll attack is super strong. Level Melee damage and stamina

First find the one u want wait till it's flying low or landed and bolo it take very few narcotics arrows to knock out if u hit in the head then defend and and feed whatever kind of meat u would like or dodo kibble for the best and fastest tame.

tip! For everyone wondering about there new nerfterra!
Stam is a must and probably most important remember this tame was implemented for a scout not an aplha killer was fun wile it lasted...add weight if needed.

Pteranodons are not the best flyer since the new flyer update, go find a tapejara or argentavis instead

I tamed a level 20 or so and it has gone through hell and back

Tame dodos early game so you can make kibble then go out find a level 150 pteranodon bola it knock em out keep him asleep setup spikes around him and boom you have a level 220+ warbird

These are the best flyers hands down. Tame the highest you can with best Melee and you can clear almost all the caves. I raise health, stamina and melee. My friends with args laughed at me when I beouhht my Ptera for a cave run, they stopped laughing quick and started to beg for eggs.

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

The grassy area between the north zone 2 and the north zone 3, is full of pteranodons, sense it is a wide area, it is a great spawning place for large quantities of Dino's, just be careful, there have been many sightings of raptors roaming around- good luck.

Possibly the hardest hit by flyer nerf. Anything less than a 140 isn't worth your time now due to the lack of stats on them.

Speed is key. These birds are great for picking people in war or just plain transportation. Just remember that when you pick someone they can bola you.

Aim for the head

It gets you to places tbat your raft cant!
