Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a pteranodon? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a pteranodon.
To tame a P.T (pteranodon) use bola and tranq or sling shot it I recommend you to complete the dilo quest and get mastercraft bow if your in mobile, if your in mobile tranq it, and put meat in, or dodo kibble/prime meat. If you want it extremely quick get a soothing balm from tributing the artifact of the hunter
If you dont want to wait for their food and have an easy trap at the same time, do this: (usable at any lvl of the tame garanteed)
1. Bola and K.O. the pteranodon
2. Collect wood from surrounding trees
3. Put a wood pillar where the ptera is, then 5 thatch roofs ontop that looks like a cross
4. Put wooden railings under the roofs outlining the roofs
5. Trap is done, wake up ptera to test if he can escape (he shouldnt be able to, tested it even on inclined terrain)
6. Sleep nearby while he’s awake (brings his food to zero when you wake up)
7. Quickly K.O. Before his food is replenished, put kibble/meat
8. And done, to destroy the trap just remove the pillar (it should all go down if you destroy just the pillar)
Thx for reading, goodluck taming!
Do do dex says its torpor drain is low, but its wrong! Its torpor drain is high. The torpor drains fast, and I mean fast.. So bring bio toxin if you are planning to tame.
To tame a ptera you need a Bola a slingshot (if its high lvl then use tranq arrows learned at lvl 21) then put meat w narcoberries if it's high lvl use basic kibble and nice you tamed your first flier now for the saddle. The saddle lvl is at lvl 38 to make the saddle you will need around 100 - 200 hide 75 - 80 chitin or keratinand some fiber and now you have a great mount up this if u find it helpful and thats so beginners can see.
I tamed a level 30 pteranodon when I was level 9
All I did was bola, punch and then gave it 14 fish meat, 1 cooked prime and some normal meat. It literally tamed in a couple of seconds
The timers on ptera are off by a decent amount.. don’t go by it completely.. still watch the bird!!!
A slingshot and a bola is all you need, I tamed a 130 with just that and a spear, make sure you go to ragnarok and tame it with mutton if you have no kibble
Make sure to throw your bola (if you are going to use one) with very precise accuracy
I found a high level pteranodon and shot tranq arrows and feed it meat and tamed it!
How to tame
Bola it
Use Club or tranq arowws
Feed him meat
Saddle
And thats lt
Find the highest level one you can find, bola it and shoot it in the head with darts/arrows. Just be careful since their health is a bit low. Their torpor rate is a little quick but as long as you have some narcotics on hand, you should be good to go. Prime meat tames it faster so the less likely you’ll have to shove extra narcotics down its throat. Be wary of your surroundings too because every carnivore wants to kill them so be ready to protect your Pteranodon while it’s knocked out. It’ll be yours in no time. Good luck!
Why is ptreo is looking like a grandpa with wings
How to tame a pteranodon:
1 - get bola
2 - find pteranodon
3 - bola pteranodon
4 - knock out pteranodon
5 - place meat, narcotics and berries
Boom now you have a pteranodon
While trying to tame the unconscious bar will go down like normal, I found bio toxins to be the most useful to keep it unconscious. This will work for any animal but I found this to be the most helpful for this animal
Taming a pteranodon can be easy you just need a bola, a sling (tranq if your a high enough level) and, narcotics!
Worthless due to new kibble system
Always check STAMINA. Once I was flying mine when it ran out of stamina and fell into a bunch of terror birds
Keep it safe. I had 1 called Perry. I had a saddle on him. The moment I was about to ride him,I got distracted and an alpha raptor came and ate him up!
Bola it then knock it with tranq arrows then feed it raw fish meat lots of it like at least 40 a full stack also bring a saddle before you tame it I learned that the hard way R.I.P pteranodon.
When you tame one look around for dilophosaur cuz they will attack it so if you can’t kill them easily look out for them
