Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a pteranodon? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a pteranodon.
These things are the meta for war. They're so quick. Too quick.
Look around at herb island (south zone 3) pteras spawn there all the time. If you don't find the desired leveled just kill them and wait for a quick respawn.
For newer players I personally do not recommend gaming a low level one for the simple fact that they are VERY squishy. It's usually best to save up kibble for them especially since dodo kibble is inexpensive and dodo's are very easy to get. Make sure to get your birds health and stamina above 2000. This give you great flying time and makes it harder to kill.
When knocking out a ptera, make sure to use a crossbow with tranqs and shoot it in the head. Just don't get too close while shooting because if you do, you will either kill it or make its health low which won't give it a good taming effectiveness.
Please throw spiked walls around your bird so that it doesn't get hit or kill by players or the wandering carnivore
Pteranodons are one of the first and easiest Dinos you can get. First game a dodo then use dodo eggs to make kibble for the pteranodon. I've knocked out level 60+ with only two tranquil arrows so it's pretty simple. I would recommend using a bola first when it lands on the ground then shooting it. If you can get it inside your base or a secure base, then no need for spikes. But if outside, use wooden spikes to surround it. But don't fully enclose it with spikes, use one wooden foundation to put down a doorway and door so you can walk in to check on it without worrying about small animals getting in.
Follow them around while they're flying. When they come to land, bola them then hit their head with some tranq arrows/darts. Be sure to use kibble if possible.
All was to make sure you put wood spikes around it to make sure it's safe when taming
Best bird for speed and Arial battles just tamed by dodo kibble
You can easily tame them fast with dodo eggs, making a pack is really useful when you gather metal in hard to reach places.
Amazing speed for fast travel across the land, decent weight for simple transport, very good war tame. Probably one of the easiest dinos to tame.
Bring spike walls its safer
If you want to tame it, first bola it, put a simple trap if possible, hit it a little (to lose health, and when it regains health food goes down, but BE CAREFUL), knock it out, and starve it for as long as you can. I hope this was helpful, unlike so people see.
Find a level 21 and use regular kibble just use 8 Narcotics
Wonder how to spam narcoberries? Well feed it any other kind of berry (not meat or it won’t work ok?) along with a narcoberry! Hope this helps 😊
It took me five narcotics to tame a level five pterodactyl
I'm very lost can some one explain what the 3minute interval means cuz if you don't put food in the taming effective mess will drop.
Use a bola to make the dino trapped for a few seconds so you can knock or tranc it out
If you hit one while on an itchy they will still aggro and so will all others in the area (on mobile) so try to tame one thats alone and not around any, I know from personal experience
Tame on herbivore island because nothing kills it.
