I would recommend that you use bio toxin if ur on mobile u get it from the jelly fish with are semi-essay to kill if u have a bow it give 60 torpor i believe and it also doesn’t hurt them idkw it’s way better than making narcotics(ps if u want to tame a high level or low level let them start saves some time)

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.

This is for new players of the ARK, 1 make a bola, 2 make a new club, 3 get meat, prime meat, fish meat or prime fish meat 4 find a pteranodon that you like, 5 throw a bola at it, 6 hit it lots of times with the club (I recoded hitting it in the head), keep hitting it until it is knocked out, 7 feed it the food from step 3, 8 wait for the pteranodon to be tamed (make sure Dino hunger is on and make sure to keep its torpidity up without killing it), 9 once tamed get to level 38 and craft a pteranodon saddle and equip it to the pteranodon then fly away also check your wait because they are bad at holding heavy stuff. If you read this far than thanks.

I use pt for everything even when I’m given better flying options I still use a pt always my first tame if I’m able to tame it easy saddle, fast, and is on almost every map. easy knock out tame throw a bola at it then knock it out with club, slingshot, bow, crossbow whatever. feed prime meat if ur early game, Prioritise leveling up weight and stamina. Boom theres ur pt easily dies and takes forever to level up its weight but it’s fast and great for early game pvp/pve

Pteranodon Taming Guide for beginners! Or if you are just bad a ark!

1st, Bola it.

2nd, hit the Pteranodon in the face with a wooden club, but make sure to space out the club hits so you don't hit the Pteranodon when it is already unconscious.

3rd, place narcoberry's in the Pteranodon's inventory, if you don't know, narcoberrys keeps creatures asleep just like narcotics do.

4th, place meat in the Pteranodon's inventory, the Pteranodon will tane faster if you use raw prime meat or mutton, but regular raw meat will work too.

5th and final step, just wait, and force feed narcoberrys when the Pteranodon's torpidity gets low.

There you have it, a Pteranodon! I hope this will help! Bye!!
