Pteranodon

The pteranodon is a fast and versatile flying mount useful for traveling and scouting, though not always the ideal choice for battle. Knocking a pteranodon out doesn't take much, but can still be a challenge since it will immediately flee after being attacked. Once knocked out, taming is quite easy in comparison to other creatures, and with its low saddle requirements, this makes it an especially popular creature for newer survivors while still being versatile enough for more experienced survivors. What the pteranodon lacks in stamina, weight, and health, it makes up with its speed.

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

BEST WAY TO LEVEL FLIERS!!!!!!!! Set it on follow and ride anything big such as Rex or Giga, and kill a bunch of stuff. After a while, dismount and your flier will have levels because of xp share for anything nearby! I maxed my argy and ptera this way, but it's not very…

These are best used for raids and speed... nothing else

Whatever you do don't go flying around the map with a low level Pteredon thinking you can collect all the drops because eventually I'd did that and soon enough it died

Tame a high lvl pteranodon lvl 80+... You've got ur self a battle machine that can fly. When taming, starve it first. Don't bother building spikes, just focus on the torpor and getting that precious prime

Knock out feed the narco always starve tame and wait for it to wake up then bola it again and put kibble in cause it doesn't lose its food and you get give or take 2 extra levels

Spike walls don't protect it use fence foundations to build a three high wall around it or allow will make mince meat out of your tame

When you are trying to get a ptery. Make sure you can be next to the bird for the amount of time it will take to tame. Make sure you have kibble or it will take to long. Then put spike walls around you for safety and bring food for yourself. You should be fine, GOOD LUCK

Awesome early flyer to get with dodo kibble if you start getting veggies from early on. Can be very easy to get.

Bola the pteranodon before you tranq it.

What I found helpful for if your just starting out look for a level 5 and use a bow not a crossbow b/c a crossbow has a slower reload time. And if you have tribe members online ask them to help, but make sure to change the tribe setting and your tribe member could help. If you…

Best way to find and KO one of these bad boys is to take your self and your spy glass down the river they like hangout out there.

Get your self a bola or two with a cross bow and some tranqz.

If you want you can put some wooden spikes around him/her once KOd

Always make sure it's worth to tame a pteranodon by punching in its stats on the Dododex caculator and see whether it wasted points and what you need to put points to like health stamina etc

-3 points🥚 Taming & KO Oct 7, 201610 years oldReport

Great for transport. With enough wieght you can make metal runs. The game is much easier with a flyer.

Try and team up with someone else to knock out the pteranodon.
