What are tips for pteranodon? Tips and strategies for pteranodon in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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 )
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.
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.

Keep hitting it because they get up really quickly and make sure to get ark ascended
Place wooden spike walls all around (you'll need 3-4) so no god-damned dilophosaur can hit it
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)
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.
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.
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.
