Tips & Strategies

I once killed a spino with a pte. Iβm serious.
When i got the pte, i leveled his speed and stamina. One night while exploring i saw a spino in the river, hunting fish. Just for fun, i dove at it and attacked. Then i realised if i did this repeatedly, i could knock out/kill the spino without too many problems. So i did, and baited it to a bronto bc i took a lot of trample damage. The bronto got it to flee, and my pte chased it down. Eventually we pinned it against a rock and finished it off. Sadly though, my poor friend fell to a carno a few days later. R.I.P Fire π₯Ίπ¦π₯
More Pteranodon Utility Tips
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.
Pteranodons can collect bio toxin from cnidarias. Like it up to make it known.
How to do barrel roll on mobile: Go to settings and then go to controls then either go to left multi tap or right multi tap. Then select Reload/Alt attack2. When you are done, go and press on your screen twice on either left or ritght side. And you pteranodon can now do a barrel roll! Disclaimer:wastes stamina alot so be careful. Like so newbies see this!
Use the barrel roll attack and it harvest meat prime meat and mutton really well.
please like for mor people to know this.βοΈ
Donβt fly to high if it runs out of stamina you have 7 seconds to land or your pterdon will fall asleep and you will take massive damage
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!
If you play on mobile and want to do the roll then go to settings left or right multi tap and chose alt attack 2 !!!
NOW FOR THE MAIN PART--- THESE THINGS CAN KILL GIGAS the normal roll does decent damage but if you roll and attack a dino while watching the dino through spyglass you can deal tons of damage (this works in mobile idk about other platforms) i killed tons of rexes,brontos,allos..etc. using this trick
Ξ IF THIS HELPS~~
Argy is rated higher for gathering prime but these things spin attack will get much more prime than an argy
Don't say puh-tera-don it's ter-ana-don..
My Pteranodon, Shan. Absolute legend. True trooper. Top dog. Killed level 139 Spino on his own. Only level 92. Killed 20 Therizinos. 5 Carnos, 19 Direbears. 31 Raptors, 2 griffins and one Argentavis including a Megalodon that poked its tail up. Can fly from East to west without landing for stamina once. Wiped out a whole crew of boas with 5 barrel rolls. Rescued my Dilophosaurs more than twice. Very useful Pteranodon.
