Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Pteranodon in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

I collect all my pteranadon's eggs and my other dinosaurs eggs 🥚 and bring them in the house 🏠 to incubate them so they so they hatch to cute dino babies!!🦕🦖

Well I I can say is their good starter flyers but for weight carrying not so good I had personal experience

You have a better chance of bola-ing it when it’s landed but these things eat slow and wake up quick, so I’d suggest get some narcotics and tranq arrows. Kibble would be the fastest way, Dodo Kibble is probably the best.

It's fun to do a barrel roll with them but be careful! It costs alot of stamina and there's a chance you might knock your Pteranadon out midair, causing you to dismount and both of you crashing to the ground below. If you're alive, you need only to wait for…

First get a bow and tranks.

Second find and knock out.

third let it starve then give it tameing food.

Then you got your self a pteranodon.

All you need to tame this is a bola and if you complete the kill three dilos quest you get a really good bow so use that to knock it out easily in one shot knock out

Very effective as a fighter when you aren’t high enough lvl to get the saddle and can carry a little stuff for when your busy putting your upgrades into more useful things like speed, because we all know speed is essential to any escape maneuver, or jumping off cliffs, the AI…

If you want to tame these guys my style you need to: 1. Find a pteranodon,2. Hit and follow it (P.S hit it until it gets unconscious). 3. Feed them raw meat, ( and to make the torpor stay high, you need about 100 or so of the bio-toxins, 4. Name and put a saddle on it.

HOPE…

If I were you I would upgrade the stamina most of the time of the pteranodon because you might be battling then your stamina goes down then the pteranodon flies to the floor (also upgrade weight otherwise the pteranodon will fly slow)

Easy tip! If you found a ptera lvl low by 90 bola it, equip your rifle, reload, get near it shoot the head only ONCE then its K.O already. Have a perfect taming!

Is it just me, or do these guys have way more stamina than on pc? And how do you do a barrel roll? I'm going crazy trying to find out how.

It might just be me but it seems these things tame faster when you are away from them! Just check on them every now and then to make sure they aren’t going to wake up before they are tamed!

My first pteradon and i were flyin hunting for carnos, and we landed i dismounted the next thing i attacked a pack of dimorphodons and it attacked emm and one remained my pteradon chased it to the sky where it flew up and now i cant even see it with a scope i built a base there…

Barrel roll works really well especially when you’re good at using it you can hit things without being attacked. I play on a level 300 single player game and my ptera has health and melee mutations but I basically got to level 70 with only that tame. :)
