Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a pteranodon? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a pteranodon.
Press “c“ for barrel roll attack. Dealing very much damage, also deals damage to structures
U can find these pretty much anywhere especially on the Center south tropical and dONT be scared because they do not harm u only if they are tamed or steel there eggs
Whatever you do don't go flying around the map with a low level Pteredon thinking you can collect all the drops because eventually I'd did that and soon enough it died
Tame a high lvl pteranodon lvl 80+... You've got ur self a battle machine that can fly. When taming, starve it first. Don't bother building spikes, just focus on the torpor and getting that precious prime
Knock out feed the narco always starve tame and wait for it to wake up then bola it again and put kibble in cause it doesn't lose its food and you get give or take 2 extra levels
Breed breed breed
I try to tame them with dodo kibble but it won't work.
There needs to be a tame rate modifier
Are great for speed but rg are better fo weight
Spike walls don't protect it use fence foundations to build a three high wall around it or allow will make mince meat out of your tame
When you are trying to get a ptery. Make sure you can be next to the bird for the amount of time it will take to tame. Make sure you have kibble or it will take to long. Then put spike walls around you for safety and bring food for yourself. You should be fine, GOOD LUCK
Tame a ptera as soon as possible!!
Awesome early flyer to get with dodo kibble if you start getting veggies from early on. Can be very easy to get.
Bola the pteranodon before you tranq it.
What I found helpful for if your just starting out look for a level 5 and use a bow not a crossbow b/c a crossbow has a slower reload time. And if you have tribe members online ask them to help, but make sure to change the tribe setting and your tribe member could help. If you are playing on solo just start small with a level 5.
Best way to find and KO one of these bad boys is to take your self and your spy glass down the river they like hangout out there.
Get your self a bola or two with a cross bow and some tranqz.
If you want you can put some wooden spikes around him/her once KOd
Always make sure it's worth to tame a pteranodon by punching in its stats on the Dododex caculator and see whether it wasted points and what you need to put points to like health stamina etc
Try and team up with someone else to knock out the pteranodon.
BE CAREFUL picking up stray pteranodon eggs! If you manage to agro a group of pteras, they can do a lot of damage really quick. If you do this, find a base with plant species X and hide near those.
Dear Noobs,
To tame these, use a bola. Tranq arrows work the best but if you don't have any, just club it. Do NOT slingshot it, that will kill it. From there, it likes meat and depending on the level you may need a couple stacks, so get to killing all the weak dinos in a 15 mile vicinity. They won't mind. Now these things torpor drains really fast, but if your at the level where you have tranq arrows you should already have the narcotic engram. Just force feed them a couple of those until they love you! An important thing to note (not just with Pteras but all dinos) is that if you club it while it is asleep, or anything attacks it during the taming process, it will lose taming effectiveness. This will affect the levels and stats it gains from taming, so watch the are you are in and murder any carnivores or birds in the area if you feel they pose a threat.
