What are tips for pteranodon? Tips and strategies for pteranodon in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Had one since lvl 10 and kept it until I could create a saddle for it. I was on my first trip out with it, and it went and attacked a tek Rex and died. I tamed the tek Rex though. RIP.
Level 20 or lower only takes one trank arrow from a crossbow
Easy to tame if it is a low level (it levels up real quick)
Get a bola, find a pteranodon, wait for it to land, hit him with bola, shoot him with tranquilizers, and use meat or dodo kibble. Wait a while. EZ Tame {Difficultly Level: Beginner}
Headshot three times with a crossbow and a 150 is down
Cooking station 1 dodo egg 2 mejoberries or maybe more 1 full water skin 1 cooked meat 1 rockarrot I think s it to make food I kibble useful for pteranadon and icthysaurs I might be spelled it wrong
There fast and will run after being hit so best option is to bola then tranq they have very low health so be carefull when knocking out low levels
Just hit them in the head with a tranq
arrow, they will fly away(if not low level) and then they will drop like a fly that just had its wing ripped off
Bola it ,put spikes around, and use dodo kibble for a high lvl tame and stat boost.
If you make a raft and go underneath the bird you want it will land on the raft after a bit because it sees it as "land" then you Bola it then knock it out and the rest is history:)
Wait until these guys run out of stamina and go in to land. They don't have much so you dont need to follow them around for long, then as soon as they land bola them. Go for a head shot with a bow. Typically one or two tranqs should do the job
Be sure to pump some stamina in your mount because the spin attack can drain it quickly!
The torpor drain rate is alot slower than it says... "Three minutes" and it still has over 75% torpidity...
The amount of kibble required for 140 is incorrect. Places the amount shown and bird did not tame completely. This was with normal xp gains
If u want a bird that can fly fast and spy the map Ptetra is ur guy. Bola their legs and tame them with dodo kibble
Just tamed my first pteranodon and thought I would come here to see what this said about the taming and brought double what it said I needed and only ended up using (lvl15 it recommended 55) 38 narcotics.....
