Tips & Strategies

Dear Wild Card- PLEASE MAKE THEIR SADDLE A LOWER LEVEL! I’m not asking for level five or something, 25 instead of 35 would be enough. It’s such a pain to get.
Tame a level 100+ and you got yourself a bird that can kill alphas. (As long as you get the melee damage high)
Go to valguero spawn beach 3 go to the left towards the grass (pt paradise) theres tons of pts , mutton up the hill easy tame , there’s nothing there that can kill it . Except players . ;)
So basically just bola these guys then club them till they are unconscious. The tame takes a really long time so make sure to put some type of narcotics in its inventory. Also make sure not to nock them out in the water. When they wake up make a saddle and equip it. (Upgrades} First thing you want to upgrade on it is the weight. If it's weight is lower than your weight or the same as your weight, it will struggle to carry you. Another important upgrade for then is stamina. Stam is very important for them since they fly for so long. Anyways I hope this helped!!
If you steal its egg just keep hitting upward with a pike and if they’re low level they’ll die very easily. I killed about 4 at a time like this :) Up so other people see.
Tamed it, flew it, raptor killed it, all in the space of 10 minutes oof
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.
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!
I put the food in the inventory but it don’t eat someone pls help
ARK Mobile Ultimate Edition is messed up... A 108 lvl ptera will get tamed in 3 raw meet in around 2-3 minutes while in the game mf took almost 1 real life hour and still around 20% only... Damn
This is a MUST have!! I know that u have to upgrade its stamina and weight a lot but it’s a great dinosaur to have by ur side. What I did to tame my pteranodon Sky, is bola him down then bop em in da head with tranq stopes but not to much. Then when he knocked out give him berries, raw meat, fish, and more. ⬆️ For others to see
Mobile players, this one's for you.
Start off by throwing a Bola at it. If your target is lower than L30, a slingshot will work fine, otherwise use tranq arrows. Aim for the head to deal max torpor and minimal damage. Tranq users, be sure not to shoot your tame after it's unconscious. Feed it meat.
Controls:
The Ptera has 3 moves it can use, only accessible while flying.
1. Swiping up on the left side triggers a grab motion that deals no damage. You can pick up Dilos, compys, lystros and dodos this way and carry them with you. They cannot damage you while being held, but they can deal damage when you grab them.
2. Tapping on the left triggers the basic attack, a stab with the beak.
3. You will want to reconfigure your controls for this. I suggest setting Right Multi-tap to "Reload/Alt Attack 2" in the Game Controls. That said, this triggers a barrel roll that deals significant damage but also costs a lot of stamina. Use it for a burst of speed or to finish off an opponent.
I tamed one of these by walking up to it, and shooting it with a slingshot when I was level ten. (It was a level 1). I was so disappointed when I learned the saddle is at level 38. This is my second account, and I think if you can knock it out with a slingshot, the saddle shouldn’t be at level 38.
Never steal eggs unless you are a pro bola thrower & you have a spear and good weapons.like it so more poeple can see
If you steal their eggs, hiding under water for a little bit under they flee works so you don't die! =] [And yes, I learned this the hard way]
Guys I found out something incredibly COOL! I play mobile so this might not work on PC but I found out how to kill stuff really easily. Whenever I use my spyglass and do a barrel roll and hit the creature it does a lot of damage! I have even killed brontos, rexes, spinosaurus, and more in just one or two hits! Just practice your aiming though, cuz it’s sometimes a bit hard to aim, especially if the creature is kind of small. Plz tap the arrow pointing to the sky if this helped.
