If you want to tame one just bola it and then hit it with some Tranqs and feed it meat cooked meat or prime meat or cooked prime meat or simple kibble hope you got you pt

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).

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.

They lack of stam, weight,health.pump these 3 it will be worth it

A good place to find and tame safely is herbivore island just make sure it's base-free on pvp servers

USE DODO KIBBLE. NOT MEAT. ITS SUPER EASY TO MAKE AND MADE MY PTERADON TAME TWICE AS FAST.

Do not ride one of these in red woods for your own good

I just discovered my new favorite sport.

Step 1: Tame a pteranodon

Step 2: Pump all levels into movement speed

Step 3: Craft crossbow and grappling hooks

Step 4: Grapple to pteranodon

Step 5: Whistle “attack target” at anything

Step 6: Pull out pike and start jabbing at the air

Enjoy the ride as you are whipped in all directions, and occasionally hit your target!

Tip: Watch your health! This activity may result in being smashed to the ground several times!

(For sky-high, vertigo-inducing fun, whistle to attack a Dimorphodon or another PT! Enjoy the view as you spiral upwards!)

⚠️ This activity may cause injury, dizziness, vertigo, whiplash, digestive problems, serious brain damage, or death! 😊👍

Have fun!

At least on Ark Mobile, pteranodons are able to fit through doorframes. You could use this to your advantage (for taming, or whatever you think of/come up with).

Now I’m tellin you you have to be careful with the stamina where you land mine was killed by a Carno cos I had to land. So upgrade it’s stamina

Up if helpful

One thing about pteranadons pump about all their level ups into weight stamina and some into health and if your on pvp pump some into damage

If your on mobile, barrel roll through a creature while looking at it with your spyglass and it does like 500-100 damage per barrel roll. I kill alpha rexes this way

Ok so basically just 1.craft bolas 1 or 2 will work they last 30 secs each and they cost basic matierials 2.get a bow and tranq arrows bows u unlock at lvl 5 or 6(i believe)tranq arrows u unlock at lvl 21 3.U want to unlock its saddle before taming believe me ik u unlock the saddle at lvl 38 if u dont unlock the saddle first ur just gonna focus on leveling up and nothing else so u wont get anything done 4.Use dodo kibble unlock the cooking pot and so u get some xp do the pursuit for it also the dodo kibble works best 5.then once u have everything u wanna get some bio toxin u can kill cnidarias to get it but be careful 6.Now just knock it out and when the torpor gets low feed it a bio toxin have a good time=) -JJ (just tell all ur friends so they can have a pt too)

This is my first flying dinosaur and I got to say you got to love the bola made it really easy to catch this dinosaur

If you want to explore ark tame one but i prefer high lvl one cus its fast,high hp and weight it carries is only around 100kg -300kg but when lvled up it can be 400-600kg

used for exploring and finding creatures that are worthy

How to Retrieve your Pteranodon if you lose it

1. Prepare food and healing potions incase it's hurt

2. Go to your character page

3. Click on "Tames XX/40"

4. Scroll down to the tame you want to retrieve

5.request the game to your location and wait for transfer.

6. Whistle it to stop incase that traitor tries to Escape again

7. Beat it with a club.

I remember getting stuck in the artic because my pteranodon went to fly away. Half way across the map. Had to tame raptors and walk half the way nearly getting killed by terror birds very often.

As far as I’m aware pteranodons don’t go down when they run out of stamina while over water but don’t take my word for it. Test in a controlled environment first

I will pass this on, as a kind soul in a forum saved me a high lvl ptera with this info. If ever they disappear on you, check way up in the sky above. Seriously, way up, you won't be able to see them from the ground.

When u flying this newbs look for tall rocks when flying in dangerously territory or u might land and get killed

Place wooden spike walls all around (you'll need 3-4) so no god-damned dilophosaur can hit it
