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

‘Sigh’ When I tamed my first I made a mistake. I accidentally walked into it’s wing while it was still unconscious and I got glitched. I couldn’t move nor could I crouch. Nothing. I died. Yeah I killed myself. So just a reminder DO NOT walk into their wings when they are unconscious.

DO NOT…

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 ;)

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

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

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.

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

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.

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!

If you are on mobile and you are a beginner trying to tame a pteranodon. I recommend using dodo kibble if the pteranodon is on a high level as meat can make taming take ages. And remember to use plenty of narcotic.

For some reason, they seem to tame faster when you are not staring at them, this is not because I was excited I think it actually works! This is for mobile but it may work on other devices. Up if helpful! :)

On ARK Ultimate mobile my pter needed 20% of the food dododex told me (default hard settings except difficulty)

Honestly,People are saying things about knocking it out with guns and tranquilizer arrows.What if your near the start of the game? Well,Here's my tip:

Bola it (You can make one pretty early on) and then knock it out.(You can use fists or clubs or anything like that) but make sure you have Narcotics.It's impossible to tame without atleast 15.(This was learned through personal experience)Then give it meat and bam.Tame.

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

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

How to tame one of these

1: Bola or trap it (optional)

2: Use a club, slingshot, or tranqs to knock it out

3. Feed it meat

4: Occasionally feed them narcos or biotoxin

5: Wait

6: Equip a saddle on it and enjoy your new ptera

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.

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

In ark mobile idk why but their torpor drops decently fast so bring a couple of narcotics and in multiplayer NEVER EVER BE OFFLINE WHILE TAMING A PTERANODON,IT WILL JUST WAKE UP AND WASTE ALL YOUR HARD EARN Resources,I learn this the very hard way.

It is way easier to use bola on these while they’re on the ground. It is much harder while they’re in the air. Just beat them with bat when they are stuck. Then use raw meat to tame. It doesn’t take much meat but it does take a long time.
