Dododex
ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
So a few days ago I did some testing to see what the base damage of the pteranodon barrel roll is on mobile. Dododex says 36 but I found out that it is actually 50. Hereโs the base damage of some other creatures for comparison btw: Rex (62), Bronto (60), Spino slap (60), therizino (50), dire bear (50), sarco death roll (45), and spino bite (40). So yeah the pteranodonโs barrel roll has comparable damage to some of the bigger creatures on the island in mobile. So I bred my pteranodons to get a perfect imprinted one. After a lot of tries I finally got one and I just killed a wild giga with it by repeatedly barrel rolling into the gigaโs tail and flying upwards before it can bite.

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.
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!
Pteranodons can collect bio toxin from cnidarias. Like it up to make it known.
Use the barrel roll attack and it harvest meat prime meat and mutton really well.
please like for mor people to know this.โ๏ธ
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
ฮ IF THIS HELPS~~
Donโt 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!
Argy is rated higher for gathering prime but these things spin attack will get much more prime than an argy
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 itโs 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.
Don't say puh-tera-don it's ter-ana-don..
