How to level UP pteros faster and Farm prime meat in The process tô tame more!!!
First, find some brontos and a safe high spot close tô recovery stamina.
Then, fly over The brontos neck or Head and start attacking útil he dies. Simple. Fast. Non dangerous. He wont even agro on you because he wont see you. Just remember tô keep high and watch out your stamina. 10 levels in 5 minutes! (If you kill high level brontos, maybe 15-20 levels in 5 minutes.) UP This só more people can level UP their pteros super fast!!! Help This get tô more people!!!
If one were to tame a low level pteradon, it should be put to use as a travel bird, nothing more, for it is too weak for anything else. However. High level pteradons are excellent for fighting, kibble tamed 100+ can be used to kill alphas, in packs, or alone in niche cases.
Bola it. Tranq it out. Have Narco berries or narcotic already prepared to be force fed to it (the torpor drains relatively fast and it is easier to have it already than panic berry picking). When I first started playing I didn’t know you select an item in your inventory and it highlights. Now if you hold down the selection it will transfer the item into the tame’s inventory. Now you can force feed Narco berries or narcotics to the Dino to keep it asleep (right trigger on console). If you have a LOT of a particular thing you want transferred in bulk (like prime meat singles) type “prime” into the little search bar at the top of the inventory containing the prime and hit the criss/cross arrow button next to it and all the prime will select and transfer all at once. Happy hunting.
Best way to knock them out is to bola it, then fire 2-4 tranq arrows. Kibble is godly for taming high levels
Only tame high levels, try for level 130+ and breed them. Get the best stats into a baby’s, male and female, keep that as your breeding pair. Then either go for mutations OR just get your baby and imprint. Push weight until it can carry your normal standing weight (you with armour and gear) then push stamina. I got an ascended saddle with like 170 armour for mine so I don’t push health but that’s me.

A spino just killed my pteranodon rip Ramble you will be missed
Also ty my lovely saber that killed the spino you avenged Ramble well
You use a Bola and then hit it with a club or slingshot then you feed it raw meat dodo kibble or raw prime or mutton and just in case grab some cooked prime meat
In ark mobile idk why but their torpor drops decently fast so bring a couple of narcotics and in multiplayer NEVER EVER BE OFFLINE WHILE TAMING A PTERANODON,IT WILL JUST WAKE UP AND WASTE ALL YOUR HARD EARN Resources,I learn this the very hard way.
HOW TO TAME A PTERANODON:
Step 1. Gather around 20 meat.
Step 2. Craft one bola.
Step 3. Make around two Narcotics.
Step 3. Bola a Pteranodon that is on the ground and use your FIST to knock it out.
Step 4. Feed it meat.
Step 5. If it gets close to waking up, exchange the meat for a narcotic.
Step 6. Protect it from other animals until it’s tamed.
Step 7. ENJOY YOUR NEW PTERANODON!
(P.s you might not get it the first time but that’s okay!)
LIKE THIS TIP IF THIS WAS HELPFUL OR YOU WANT OTHERS TO SEE!
WARNING~
dont send your ptera to fight another one cause they will continue to spiral upwards and fly super far in the sky, and you'll lose them. I thought I lost mine, then I found you can summon them so I got him back. He was tamed at level 150😁
Bola it, 2 tranq arrows into its head and its down.
Do it preferably on ragnarok in the highlands and use mutton off the sheep.
Don’t forget to starve tame it ie. ( keep it asleep and let it starve before adding the food )
Bring narcoberries or narcotics or tranq arrows these things at a high level drop torpor rates pretty fast. Not Galllimimus fast but still pretty fast. BEWARE
Also if its your first time taming or flying one don’t fly in water no joke you come off your Ptera and are stuck in water you have to try calling for him and he will circle you it’s hard to get back on but possible
Ps sorry for assuming it’s a he if it offends you.

You know how the explorer notes for this looks like right? Well, I found the exact Pteranodon on the note and boy was I happy! It’s very cool to see your pt and other dinos on the notes that you find.
