How do I tame a pteranodon? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a pteranodon.
the best way to tame these guys is with dodo kibble . Most people would say tame them using prime meat but don’t listen to them because with prime meat it take a long to tame so I suggest dodo kibble it’s not that that expensive to make . And it take about 5-8 second to tame if you don’t believe me then go and experiment . Then leave a like
If you find a level 5 one of these and gonna tame make sure you have 2 prime meat if it's normal all settings is normal and prime meat gives it 50% taming thing please up this so people who want this can see it
This is a MUST have!! I know that u have to upgrade its stamina and weight a lot but it’s a great dinosaur to have by ur side. What I did to tame my pteranodon Sky, is bola him down then bop em in da head with tranq stopes but not to much. Then when he knocked out give him berries, raw meat, fish, and more. ⬆️ For others to see
These are the best tames as a beginner get a fully imprinted fully mutated and it's a BEAST!
I tamed one of these. It was a female. It was a beautiful sea green and brown. I let my mom name her and she chose the perfect name for her. Her name was Stella. She was killed saving me life. She fought off 3 rexes. (Killed them all). What killed her was a F***ING COMPY
Dear Wild Card- PLEASE MAKE THEIR SADDLE A LOWER LEVEL! I’m not asking for level five or something, 25 instead of 35 would be enough. It’s such a pain to get.
When taming a high level Pteranodon, always starve tame it that way you don't waste/lose your kibble if somebody/something hits/kills it.
This is an easy tame to get, spawn in the highlands, tame a equus, bola a pteranodon and kick it in the face until it knocks out.
Mobile players, this one's for you.
Start off by throwing a Bola at it. If your target is lower than L30, a slingshot will work fine, otherwise use tranq arrows. Aim for the head to deal max torpor and minimal damage. Tranq users, be sure not to shoot your tame after it's unconscious. Feed it meat.
Controls:
The Ptera has 3 moves it can use, only accessible while flying.
1. Swiping up on the left side triggers a grab motion that deals no damage. You can pick up Dilos, compys, lystros and dodos this way and carry them with you. They cannot damage you while being held, but they can deal damage when you grab them.
2. Tapping on the left triggers the basic attack, a stab with the beak.
3. You will want to reconfigure your controls for this. I suggest setting Right Multi-tap to "Reload/Alt Attack 2" in the Game Controls. That said, this triggers a barrel roll that deals significant damage but also costs a lot of stamina. Use it for a burst of speed or to finish off an opponent.

Bio Toxin is a amazing replacement for narcotic. To adds more torpor ( 80+ ) while Narcotic is half ( 40+ ) Bio toxin is easy to get and you get lots of it!
Tame a level 100+ and you got yourself a bird that can kill alphas. (As long as you get the melee damage high)
Go to herbivore Island on the Island and find a high level. Kill a brontosaurus and get prime meat and use it to tame. Don’t forget to get biotoxin or narcotics.
For mobile users, You will need narcoberries or narcotics! I tried taking a patera as my first tame, I had to use loads of narcoberries to keep it unconscious..
I had a Pteranodon and we where hunting terror birds and on the way there I landed her because she was tired and then a spino attacked me. My pteranodon attacked and was killed I took out my pistol and killed the spino. I now shall kill all spinos.
So in my experience their torpor runs down quick so once u have knocked it out u definitely need narcotics. I recommend bio toxin cause it easy to get and it didn’t drain the health like it says. All u need to do to get bio toxin is lure jelly fish to the shore and shoot them with a bow, or cross bow from under water. Hope this is helpful to my fellow survivalist.
Easy tame, bola it, shoot with tranq arrows, chuck a couple stacks of meat in its inventory, and kill about 10 ankys to build a saddle
Its good for easy and safe travel. Get boi toxin so it will stay asleep. Thanks to this I have 4 raptors a sarco a and a diplo. But mine died to a therorrizer :( i was using it to find a raptor I was knocking out the raptor I fell off a cliff and when I was coming to get my pterandonon I made a wrong turn found a diplo and forgot about her but then while I was taming my diplo it said she was killed by a therorrizer I looked up and thats where she would have been I felt bad I couldv whistled and she wouldv lived.
Easy. Bola, club to the face, raw meat. Make sure you have some narcotics.
A level 9,999 will take u 37 shocking track darts to the head so ya
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.
