Pteranodon
The pteranodon is a fast and versatile flying mount useful for traveling and scouting, though not always the ideal choice for battle. Knocking a pteranodon out doesn't take much, but can still be a challenge since it will immediately flee after being attacked. Once knocked out, taming is quite easy in comparison to other creatures, and with its low saddle requirements, this makes it an especially popular creature for newer survivors while still being versatile enough for more experienced survivors. What the pteranodon lacks in stamina, weight, and health, it makes up with its speed.
Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Pteranodon in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Fast mount, awful stamina, exact opposite of the argentavis.
A slingshot and a bola is all you need, I tamed a 130 with just that and a spear, make sure you go to ragnarok and tame it with mutton if you have no kibble
Make sure to throw your bola (if you are going to use one) with very precise accuracy
If you guys are having problems, getting ones with good stamina stats try taming lower levels. I tamed my perfect PT Fern star at only level 18 and he had amazing stamina stats without me trying I only had to put like one or two points in and it was perfect I’m flying over…

How to tame a PT at a low level:
1. Find the PT you want, make sure it is not a extremely high level or Ty e process may take longer
2.Use bolas, you may need a few extra invade it breaks lose

3.Wack it with a Club or use a slingshot
4.Stuff meat down its throat, it eats most meats, also bring Narcotics just in case it is almost awake
5. You now have your own PT
(Saddle requires around 250 hide, 50 Keratin, and 170 fiber)
^Up for noobs^
Do do dex says its torpor drain is low, but its wrong! Its torpor drain is high. The torpor drains fast, and I mean fast.. So bring bio toxin if you are planning to tame.
To tame a ptera you need a Bola a slingshot (if its high lvl then use tranq arrows learned at lvl 21) then put meat w narcoberries if it's high lvl use basic kibble and nice you tamed your first flier now for the saddle. The saddle lvl is at lvl 38 to make the saddle you…
To tame a ptera you need a Bola a slingshot (if its high lvl then use tranq arrows learned at lvl 21) then put meat w narcoberries if it's high lvl use basic kibble and nice you tamed your first flier now for the saddle. The saddle lvl is at lvl 38 to make the saddle you will need around 100 - 200 hide 75 - 80 chitin or keratinand some fiber and now you have a great mount up this if u find it helpful and thats so beginners can see.
If on a pvp server, avoid picking higher level players, as journeyman shotguns can kill even a perfect tamed 150 in 2 or 3 hits. RIP my perfect 150 on official🥲
I tamed a level 30 pteranodon when I was level 9
All I did was bola, punch and then gave it 14 fish meat, 1 cooked prime and some normal meat. It literally tamed in a couple of seconds
Taming a pteranodon can be easy you just need a bola, a sling (tranq if your a high enough level) and, narcotics!
If you dont want to wait for their food and have an easy trap at the same time, do this: (usable at any lvl of the tame garanteed)
1. Bola and K.O. the pteranodon
2. Collect wood from surrounding trees
3. Put a wood pillar where the ptera is, then 5 thatch roofs ontop that…
If you dont want to wait for their food and have an easy trap at the same time, do this: (usable at any lvl of the tame garanteed)
1. Bola and K.O. the pteranodon
2. Collect wood from surrounding trees
3. Put a wood pillar where the ptera is, then 5 thatch roofs ontop that looks like a cross
4. Put wooden railings under the roofs outlining the roofs
5. Trap is done, wake up ptera to test if he can escape (he shouldnt be able to, tested it even on inclined terrain)
6. Sleep nearby while he’s awake (brings his food to zero when you wake up)
7. Quickly K.O. Before his food is replenished, put kibble/meat
8. And done, to destroy the trap just remove the pillar (it should all go down if you destroy just the pillar)
Thx for reading, goodluck taming!
Find the highest level one you can find, bola it and shoot it in the head with darts/arrows. Just be careful since their health is a bit low. Their torpor rate is a little quick but as long as you have some narcotics on hand, you should be good to go. Prime meat tames it faster…

Their torpor rate is a little quick but as long as you have some narcotics on hand, you should be good to go. Prime meat tames it faster so the less likely you’ll have to shove extra narcotics down its throat. Be wary of your surroundings too because every carnivore wants to kill them so be ready to protect your Pteranodon while it’s knocked out. It’ll be yours in no time. Good luck!
Honestly I think the combat capabilities of the Pteranodon is underrated. On mobile these guys actually makes a double hit every time they attack, so even though their base damage is 15 (a bit lower than an Argy’s 18), they have much better DPS than argys. They are also much…
Honestly I think the combat capabilities of the Pteranodon is underrated. On mobile these guys actually makes a double hit every time they attack, so even though their base damage is 15 (a bit lower than an Argy’s 18), they have much better DPS than argys. They are also much more nimble than argys. I’ve been to dead island many times before on my pteranodon (lvl 240) and have never been pulled off by a raptor, cuz whenever I see one of them is about to pounce I just press forward and I’m 50 yards outside of the raptor’s attack range. When I went there with my argy (also lvl 240) for the first time I immediately got yeeted off cuz the argy is too slow to get out of the way. I survived (barely) thanks to my full set ascendent flak or chitin armour. The pteranodon’s barrel roll attack is also very strong, cuz you do like 3 times the base damage to anything in your path and you speed up drastically so you can get out of the attack range of the baddies you’re fighting in a split second. I tamed the argy thinking it was gonna replace my pteranodon, now my argy’s only use is as a cargo plane.
One like = one respect for the pteranodon
While trying to tame the unconscious bar will go down like normal, I found bio toxins to be the most useful to keep it unconscious. This will work for any animal but I found this to be the most helpful for this animal
I once killed a spino with a pte. I’m 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…

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 🥺🦇🔥
Worthless due to new kibble system
Always check STAMINA. Once I was flying mine when it ran out of stamina and fell into a bunch of terror birds
Keep it safe. I had 1 called Perry. I had a saddle on him. The moment I was about to ride him,I got distracted and an alpha raptor came and ate him up!
I found a high level pteranodon and shot tranq arrows and feed it meat and tamed it!
