Keep away from Titan boasts! I've lost way too many pets from them.

Bola when they are on the ground , tranq in the head. I always check the stats but mainly the health if I am looking for a good back up bird or 3. These are vital for PvP and it's best to have at least 2 back ups per player. KEEP them safe as they are your strongest weapons in PvP.

Just grab a sling shot and 10-20 rocks off the beach (or mine them) and bola the sucker and launch em at his head. For a lvl 250 this won’t work though, as it will escape the bola before your slingshot knocks it out. Also if you want to quickly get a saddle just go into the jungle and murder some bugs.

Hey hey!!! Rlly important but also quick tip!!!

When taming a ptero (OR any dinosaur in which the use of a club is recommended to tame it), please, PLEAAASE, instead of using a club, USE A SLINGSHOT!!!

- It deals more torpor and less damage

- You're more likely to kill the dino you're trying to tame when using the club with high melee damage

- It does not break easily

- You're less likely to hit your dino after they faint

I hope that helps!!!

After using bola, if using narcotic arrows to nock ptera unconscious. Add narco berries or more narcotics in inv with meat to keep it asleep the entire time.

What are mobile controls now for pteranadon

Step one find on to your liking step two bola it step tree force feed it narcos by hitting r2 while in the Dino’s inv last step keep feeding it meat and your done

Great scouts to get around quickly and look for stuff on the island

Always keep dodo kibble to tame it. If you want to know the stat you need to add to it, try to reach ≈550 stamina first, then increase its weight to 220. The rest until you reach ≈ 950 stamina, then focus on weight until up to 350. The rest is up to you. I prefer increasing its speed and melee. But good luck you guys!

How to tame: Spawn in get spawn killed by a raptor then spawn somewhere else and get your pick make a club and bola maybe maybe not use narcotics depending on lvl realize you’re lvl 16 get a explorer note kill everything in sight and do some crafting make the saddle and enjoy your pt.

Pteranodon is extremely time consuming Dinosaur to tame, I tame it once for about 15 min, but the dino is at level 325 so I guess it's a fair trade?

Here's how to tame pteranodon, first, bring a bed, any kind of bed. And then locate your Dream pteranodon. When you locate that ur pteranodon dream, Use bola to make it immobilize, then place your bed(You can do this earlier) and sleep. This will make the creature hungry and make the taming faster. After you wake up, immediately tranq this thing up, it is recommended to ready your 2nd bola justincase you're long enough just to make this things sleep.

Let's just say you're doing a good job, feed it some meat(Yes, this things is carnivore) and you'll have your first flying tame.

Note: You might want to place the bed and click that Zzz button first before sleeping, just in case, who knows if you immobilize them First and then sleep that annoying "Sunlight=No sleep" pop up will ruin your plan. I've learn it in the hard way...

To the guy who said how to grab stuff on mobile thank you so much!!!! I can now know how to grab stuff and tame them! Once I get a argy I will tame a anky so I can get metal even faster thank you so much!!!!

We all know how to tame a ptera by now, bola and pop it in the head with either a club for low levels or tranq arrows for high ones; but the real tip here is to use chitin for the saddle instead of keratin. 75 keratin is difficult to find quickly, but chitin is available via just about any bugs or other invertibrates, and they tend to drop a lot of it. One trilobite could probably net you all of the chitin you need, especially when carved by something like a moschops.

How to tame one

1: Get 40 bio toxin (read my tip on how to harvest bio toxin on Cinidaria)

2: harvest 30 fish meat

3: get a bola and some tranq arrows (better to use tranq arrows)

4: bola and shoot (5 times should KO them)

5: give fish meat and bio toxin

6: give 2 bio toxin every time it’s torpor gets halfway

7: it’s tamed

How to tame a pteranodon:

1. Grab some bolas

2. After finding a pteranodon, throw a bola at it

3. You can shoot at it with a tranquilizing ammo like tranq arrows or certain darts. Or use clubs and slingshots.

4. After it's knocked out, you can feed it meat. But I highly recommend feeding it dodo kibble as it's easy to make and speeds up the taming process.

5. I always forget to mention this, but you might need some narcotics.

Hope this helped!

Advice, If your pteranadon flies into a small space (eg, any cave enterance designed for you to go through with no mount) Please either put it into a cryopod, or request it if you’re on mobile, I lost my best pteranadon because it flew into a cave enterance, Then got stuck, I tried to lead it out, But ark insta-killed it for clipping into a wall(?) Don’t make my mistake.

Craft and demolish stone foundations to get to lvl 38 for the saddle

Pteranodon are incredible useful and can be a really good first flyer. Here is why:

-very easy creatures to tame. You just need a bunch of raw prime fish meat ( you can collect a lot by killing sabertooth salmons with sickle and collect their meat ) and 3 tranqs ( or 1 with a X-bow ). I should recommend taking 4 raw prime fish meat and 2 narcs also for the taming.

-They take quiet fast level up after taming and can fast get to 400-500 health.

-They do quiet a lot of damages ( I managed to kill a low level Rex with a lvl 5 pteranodon and a spike ).

- They are quiet fast and even tough not the best for collect and harvesting, they are incredibly useful for exploration of the map.

-When out of energy, their stamina reloads fast.

BUT: To not loose every ptera you tame, here are some tips:

-When they are out of stamina, they will land and you can’t really control where. So make sure there are not carnivors or any aggressive dinos around when you’re low on energy, or you might die very fast ( especially Rex, Allo, Spino and of course gigas ). Since they are flyers and quiet small, you can easily land on rocks that carnivores can’t access ( and you can regain stamina safely )

-Make sure to always have some food to feed them ( as they starve quiet fast when out of food ).

-When you want to tame a dino, land with them on a rock and set them on « passive » so they will be safe waiting for you and they will not attack and kill ( or get killed by ) the dino you’re trying to tame.

-When you land, make sure they will not fall ( especially when exploring the big mountains ), bcs they will take a lot of fall damages.

You will make these mistakes, even tough you think about it, you will make them. ( I lost 10 pteras ). So I should recommend you to tame 5,6 of them to have some more if you come to die with one of them.

By the way sorry if my English is not the best, I’m Belgian.

I hope this was useful 😀

Official server: don’t try to club or fist knock out. Just gather the stupid narco berries, make the stupid tranq arrows, bola one, start firing. Hopefully this will knock it out before the bola wears off and it flies away. Have had them fall asleep mid take off.

You will need to tranq it some more if you’re using raw meat.

Narcoberries work, but i usually just stick em in the wing with another tranq arrow. Check its health first.

Also, it won’t pick up a raptor, but it will pickup a baby raptor.

God I love survival ascended.

Really it’s just because you can find plenty of babies to imprint on. Kill or take the parents and press imprint on the baby
