Tips & Strategies
These things are vicious when you steal their eggs. One time, I did so, and I just see this oversized death seagull flying at me and it pecked at me until I succumbed to my wounds. If you have the proper equipment these things are fairly easy to kill.
Easy. Bola, club to the face, raw meat. Make sure you have some narcotics.
They only attack when you eat their egg
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 you're a beginner, I suggest using a bola, club and narcotic. That's how I tamed mine.
Bio Toxin is a amazing replacement for narcotic. To adds more torpor ( 80+ ) while Narcotic is half ( 40+ ) Bio toxin is easy to get and you get lots of it!
Stick to the beaches in the southern zones for easy find and easy tame without much predators to attack you
For some reason, they seem to tame faster when you are not staring at them, this is not because I was excited I think it actually works! This is for mobile but it may work on other devices. Up if helpful! :)
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 fighting someone on a pteranodon, 1 bola can take him out of the battle. No matter the level.
I suggest taming a lvl 120 cuz they are really op and when tamed they are lvl 180 and they can carry decent weight and 1k stamina I tamed one and I named her Aurora and we killed 4 brontos and two spino together and tamed a lvl 95 therizino and she was the best *she's still alive btw
A low level one (>50) can usually be knocked out with one tranq arrow from a crossbow, but bola it beforehand just incase it needs 2!
I got one of these things eggs and it attacked it was so fast that I couldn’t shoot it with my rifle.
Honestly,People are saying things about knocking it out with guns and tranquilizer arrows.What if your near the start of the game? Well,Here's my tip:
Bola it (You can make one pretty early on) and then knock it out.(You can use fists or clubs or anything like that) but make sure you have Narcotics.It's impossible to tame without atleast 15.(This was learned through personal experience)Then give it meat and bam.Tame.
How to tame one of these
1: Bola or trap it (optional)
2: Use a club, slingshot, or tranqs to knock it out
3. Feed it meat
4: Occasionally feed them narcos or biotoxin
5: Wait
6: Equip a saddle on it and enjoy your new ptera
Ok so basically just 1.craft bolas 1 or 2 will work they last 30 secs each and they cost basic matierials 2.get a bow and tranq arrows bows u unlock at lvl 5 or 6(i believe)tranq arrows u unlock at lvl 21 3.U want to unlock its saddle before taming believe me ik u unlock the saddle at lvl 38 if u dont unlock the saddle first ur just gonna focus on leveling up and nothing else so u wont get anything done 4.Use dodo kibble unlock the cooking pot and so u get some xp do the pursuit for it also the dodo kibble works best 5.then once u have everything u wanna get some bio toxin u can kill cnidarias to get it but be careful 6.Now just knock it out and when the torpor gets low feed it a bio toxin have a good time=) -JJ (just tell all ur friends so they can have a pt too)
