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.

Tame a level 100+ and you got yourself a bird that can kill alphas. (As long as you get the melee damage high)

When knocking pteranodons out, be sure to have a bola, it doesn't take many tranq arrows to knock it out. Once it is down, put spike walls up around it (with a little space so you can go in and out) so it doesn't lose taming efficiency or die.

To kill pretty much anything on these birds, tame a high level, then pump stam to 3k, then the remainder in melee. Barrel roll into alphas etc. But keep eye on Stam. Never regen Stan on ground, know your ledges!

Start a dodo farm and grow rockcarrot to make kibble it takes time but is worth it completely go for high lvl as low levels aren't really worth it

Make sure you wait 5 seconds in between your tranq shots so you can get the maximum amount of torpor from each shot this way you don't have to waste any ammo!

What till a double Xp and taming weekend and get more levels due to efficiency,on a 150 it would be the same as a gen2 breed bird.

Bolas Are A Bit Messed Up Right Now, so Bring more than you will need. Also bring more narcotics and kibble than the the calculator tell you to, just incase it is slightly wrong ;)

Be sure you whistle (follow) when riding your tame. If you accedntly jump off or get saddle jacked off your bird, he will follow you to the ground and you will have a better chance to recover your tame.

Best way to knock them out is to bola it, then fire 2-4 tranq arrows. Kibble is godly for taming high levels

First find the one u want wait till it's flying low or landed and bolo it take very few narcotics arrows to knock out if u hit in the head then defend and and feed whatever kind of meat u would like or dodo kibble for the best and fastest tame.

Tame dodos early game so you can make kibble then go out find a level 150 pteranodon bola it knock em out keep him asleep setup spikes around him and boom you have a level 220+ warbird

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.

Aim for the head

I tamed a level 20 or so and it has gone through hell and back

I rarely pick anything else to kill with, nearly 300% damage and not much attacks from targets will land. My bird is packed on health stamina and damage. quite simply the best tame ive got by far plus it harvets fairly good amounts of meat.

The river along the redwoods seems to hold the highest level of pteranodons due to the large spawn rate

To tame:
Preparation- bring...
• At least 9 kibble for level 100 or less
• At least 20 tranq arrows
• 4 wooden spiked walls to surround the pteranodon with to keep
away predators (leave a small hole for you to crawl through)
• At least 20 Narcotics
• At least 3 bolas (the two extras in case you miss)

To knock out-
• Immobilize with the bola
• Hit with a tranq arrow. Wait five seconds. Repeat until knocked
out.

To tame-
• DO NOT give all the kibble or narcs at once. If a larger predator, such as a T-Rex, comes along, it will kill the pteranodon and you will have to retreat. You will most likely lose the narcs and kibble if you give the pteranodon all of it at once. Instead starve tame. (The rest of this tip is how to starve tame)

To starve tame-
1. Knock the Dino out
2. Wait until the Dino is at 3/4 to 1/2 hunger
3. Give the Dino narcos if needed. Only give one at a time.
4. Feed Dino with preferred kibble.
5. Repeat.

These are the best flyers hands down. Tame the highest you can with best Melee and you can clear almost all the caves. I raise health, stamina and melee. My friends with args laughed at me when I beouhht my Ptera for a cave run, they stopped laughing quick and started to beg for eggs.
