What are tips for pteranodon? Tips and strategies for pteranodon in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I have no idea what ‘starve tame’ is, but this is what I did. Get a bola, throw it at the bird thing, use a baseball bat (club) to knock it out, feed it like 5 dodo kibbles, and take the leftovers.
If it’s low level like 75 and other don’t bother boaling it, just shoot it in the head and get another hit on the body, if your using like a club or a slingshot thought then bola it
Must have on PvP worlds. Easy for picking of enemy players as you can get out of their reach quickly. Second to Karpo though. Great for PvE as well. Useful for flying to the volcano or other high peeks. Wouldn't recommend a low lvl survivor tame as the saddle is hard to make. (Chitin/Keratin)
To tame:
Preparation- bring...
• At least 9 kibble for level 100 or less
• At least 20 tranq arrows
• 4 wooden spiked walls to surround the pteranodon with to keep
away predators (leave a small hole for you to crawl through)
• At least 20 Narcotics
• At least 3 bolas (the two extras in case you miss)
To knock out-
• Immobilize with the bola
• Hit with a tranq arrow. Wait five seconds. Repeat until knocked
out.
To tame-
• DO NOT give all the kibble or narcs at once. If a larger predator, such as a T-Rex, comes along, it will kill the pteranodon and you will have to retreat. You will most likely lose the narcs and kibble if you give the pteranodon all of it at once. Instead starve tame. (The rest of this tip is how to starve tame)
To starve tame-
1. Knock the Dino out
2. Wait until the Dino is at 3/4 to 1/2 hunger
3. Give the Dino narcos if needed. Only give one at a time.
4. Feed Dino with preferred kibble.
5. Repeat.
Steps:
Use tranq arrows (1 if using crossbow)
Shoot it
Feed meat
Give 1 narcotic after topor goes down to like a 1/4
Seen some of these guys in battle who have 100 percent inprint and max lvl
They can get up to 20k health it's crazy
-friendly friend
Get lots of dodos to make kibble to tame.
To tame it you dont need raw prime meat you just need some narcotics and only feed it wants it’s torpor is at 20% it worked for me with a level 5
Idk how I did it but on mobile I always couldn't do the barrel roll..... Until I leveled my pteranodons speed up to 200 ( in mobile you can upgrade movement speed) and then I could do the barrel roll.... Idk if this is how you get the barrel roll move also if you want to use it go to settings go to controls then click one of the little tabs and turn it to Secondary attack / reload and boom you can maybe use the move now
To tame a pteranodon simply make a bola, hit it with the bola so it stays on the ground, knock it out then build walls and spikes around it and starve tame it so you get better taming effectiveness... if the pteranodon is low level there is really no point in starve taming unless you want to.
Tip for fast and easy taming
Make sure you’re well rested
Or you walk with sleeping bag incase you see one
Sleep first before you knock out any dino
Then put your food in inventory for taming
Won’t take up to a minute 😌
Works for me
You can try too
When you knock it out make sure to put spikes around it so no predators kill it then starve it and make sure to keep a eye on its torpor because it drains fast and if this is not helpful we’ll……..I don’t know
I spent ages trying to tame one and kept I bolad some but the tranq arrows killed them all. And then I stopped cos I realised I cud ride my pelagornis petal
