Tips & Strategies
If tamed they only eat fish meat and not regular meat ? Mine died from starvation I was confused. If they can’t eat reg meat let people see this ! :(
They are found around the beaches, and aren’t as good as other rideable flyers. There only use is organic polymer and fishing. I think that it’s saddle should be learned before the pteranodon’s.
How to tame one:
Step one: craft 3 bolas and make tranq items +narcotics bc they might try to wake up.
Step 2: find one on the beaches.
Step 3: bola it.
Step 4: use your tranq items (wait five seconds per shot you’ll just do damage if you don’t)
Step five: shove fish meat down its throat.
Step: 6 Use narcs if it tries to wake up.
Step six: wait until you can craft the saddle.
Up so noobs can see.
These dinos are probably the starter flying Dino. If your a starter, just bola, shoot tranq arrows (6-10) and then feed raw fish! It’s really good at flying too! Like so the starters can see this!
To the people who are annoyed about the fish diet, Pelagornis can float on the water and swim with you on it instead of getting dismounted forcefully like any other flier. They can murder fish that way if you have a few minutes of your time and a good, lively pond or river.
Mine was killed by a Xiph (Ark Additions creature, mod) and she was the best otherwise.. thank you for reading and Midnight also thanks you for taking another one like her! 🪶
They collect large amounts of organic polymer from baby penguins
One Pelagornis can get you SO much organic polymer if and only if you kill the non-adult Kairukus. On my rates (2× harvest and 2× resource hp) I got roughly 230 organic polymer from just one juvenile Kairuku. The fact it also has insane weight reduction for the poly makes it optimal, and while you might say "The dangers of the ice biome are on your tail," then remember that a Pelagornis can just sit on water, which is where most ice biome creatures fail due to their immensely slow swimming speed, so you always have a save zone.
Guys dont listen to them telling you that you dont have to use narcotic because I just tamed one and you need SIX NARCOTICS just to tame this bird!
Bola it, then just trank it :)
When leveling up your pelagornis, head to the water. Tilt the head down and start killing fish. The pelagornis harvests the meat as it kills them, and does multiplies damage to fish.
Single player uses:
1. Early game travel mount: Pelagornis is slightly slower than pteranodon and has equally bad weight and stamina, but since it can swim you won't immediately get dismounted if it force lands you into the water.
2. Free organic polymer: Pelagornis has the best gathering rate for organic polymer of any dino, set one to aggressive in a cage with mating penguins and air conditioners.
You can tame with cooked prime fish meat
Bola this big boi! It’s favorite food is a club to the face.
Did you know if you use the controls that you would use to make it fly(ex. For mobile, you would swipe up on the left slide of the screen)repeatedly, it will go underwater? Make sure you keep spamming those fly controls to keep it underwater longer, but it has an oxygen stat so be mindful!
