What are tips for pteranodon? Tips and strategies for pteranodon in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Pteranodons are the top-recommended beginner’s flyer but all creatures have flaws— first of all the recommended stat points are put in its stamina— second they have only around 100-250 kilos they can carry. Including you and the saddle it’s about 1/3 or 1/2 it’s total weight. They are a pretty easy tame but it’s better to kill some type of small creatures so bugs can eventually spawn in.
If this was helpful enough make the button green and share it with friends! :D

It took 20 minutes of feeding it raw meat and jellyfish toxin but it was worth it! I, myself am on level 11 and now i have a level 36 pteranodon! It’s very easy to knock out all you need is a bola and a wooden club(Plus about 20 raw meat and like 10 jellyfish toxin)
These are incredibly fun to breed…
Track down and tame 3-5 high level Ptera and compare their stats….then breed them together until you have a super Ptera that has inherited its strongest ancestors stamina/weight/hp/melee…
On their own, they have pretty limited combat potential… but they become absolutely LETHAL in groups. If you’ve been breeding them you’ll likely have some expendable ones that you can take out hunting with you…
In ‘flocks’ of 5-10 they can demolish almost anything you set them on and their insane flight speed means their attacks are always perfectly coordinated (no getting stuck on slopes/rocks/trees).
Get a small flock of these (that’s the minimum for this) around 2 or 3 should do and attack any decent animal and just watch them shred them alive
Why on earth isn't the taming bar going up?????
The grassy area between the north zone 2 and the north zone 3, is full of pteranodons, sense it is a wide area, it is a great spawning place for large quantities of Dino's, just be careful, there have been many sightings of raptors roaming around- good luck.
Easiest way to get a high level pteranodon is to spawn on ragnarok in the highlands. Bola one and knock it out. Then take it with ovis which are commonly found near by.
So you want a bucketload of meat before taming and A LOT OF NARCOBERRIES because their torpor is super low and it’s torpor drops fast, you pretty much need at least 20 narcoberries and stats are ok but I would recommend going to get their stamina to 700 then increase their weight and probably grind on it.
Bola it on the legs it stops it from moving then club it until it’s unconscious then feed it lots of raw meat and narcotics
Place wooden spike walls all around (you'll need 3-4) so no god-damned dilophosaur can hit it
If u find an egg DO NOT pick it up the eggs are white with small light blue spots if u pick it up a hoard of them will come and kill u because they are so strong P.S I learned this the hard way
When you encounter this bird it is passive unless you take its egg. It's battle attacks are a spin attack and it does the most damage. The other one is a bite attack at it's not as effective. So when in battle do a spin attack to beat your foes.
Yesterday, I tamed a 150 male and shortly after a 150 female. Both high health stats, high melee, stamina. I’m breeding them today, I should have a GOD pteranodon soon!
