If you bola this then tranq it you can easily tame this by starving it. YOU WILL NEED NARCOTICS. Next make dodo kibble or use the chef station on mobile. Once starved by about 400 food points put the kibble in And it will tame in less than 30 seconds

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

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.

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.

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.

Bola.. 3-5 Tranq.. Starve It 1000... Feed It Mutt/Prime Meat If You Dont Have Kibble.. Youre Welcome Good Lucc Survivors

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.

Easy. Bola, club to the face, raw meat. Make sure you have some narcotics.

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.

Bcoz these Dino’s are a early game tame but the saddle requires level 38 I just set my difficulty level to easy so you get all resources back when demolished, and then once level 10 keep making several cooking pots to gain XP and before u get level 10 spam make campfires

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

So if your a idoit like me and dont know how to force dead with narcotics this is how you do it on ps4 and xbox press r2 PC idk

They are a pretty easy tame I would recommend getting a low level if you are quite new as if you put them in the roof or get them to follow you they will get heaps of exp they are really useful for a metal run if you get argues you follow you as they don’t run out of stamina if they follow you

Highlands has everything to tame one on rag and build a saddle get chitin from bugs near the volcano hide from diplos and mutton from sheep

You use a Bola and then hit it with a club or slingshot then you feed it raw meat dodo kibble or raw prime or mutton and just in case grab some cooked prime meat

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.

Bola it and shooting in the body with two to three tranq arrows if it's level 50 to 100 use one tranq arrow to the Head and one to the body hope this strategy works for you guys

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

If you're a beginner, I suggest using a bola, club and narcotic. That's how I tamed mine.

To knock a Pteranodon I’d advise using bola so it doesn’t fly away and then knock it out with trank arrows or trank darts.
