HOW TO TAME IN UNDER 5 MINUTES!
[WHAT YOU WILL NEED]
.At least 2 Bolas
. At least 25 narcotics (depending on the level)
. Raw meat or kibble
. 40 Tranq arrows/ Tranq darts
. Crossbow/bow
[TAMING]
Pteranodons are very common, finding one won’t be an issue. (From my experience) I usually find them near beaches. Once you have found one you are happy with equip your bola and hit it (make sure it’s landed not flying) start shooting at it with tranq arrows/ tranq darts. Your Pteranodon should be knocked out before the bola breaks (providing you have enough ammo) Once knocked out put at least 40 raw meat/ 30 kibble in its inventory. Make sure to stay with your knocked out pteranodon at its torpor can drain fast.
Lower lvl, 5-20 1,4 franks from the crossbow, with a bolla. Down for the count. I found cooking meat, not all at once, but batch by batch, tamed quickly. Kill n cook, the way to a Dino's heartstomach 😂
Guess what? IT FLIIIES!!!!
Bola the creature in then knock it out with club.
Just throw a bola on them and your will never ever have problems to knock them out again
Definitely one of the best dinosaurs in the game, if you don't have a quatzal or tapejara yet. I recommend having a strong, a quick and a weight carrying pterenadon to help you around. Also useful for parking on rocks to snipe dinosaurs or to attack with it, since it can attack and fly away, and that a lot of times can even kill a rex
Watch out if it is a low level Pterandon amd you have tranq arrows because if you are trying to tame you might kill instead.
Build spikes or walls around your bird or anything hightvlvl u knock out
Got a perfect tame on a 150 over the double xp weekend. It ended up being a 212 when it was said and done. Now it is at 261 with Max lvl at 273. Health and stamina 2k, weight over 300, and melee just over 400. He is a beast! Bola legs and let him eat dodo kibble. It only took 12 or 13 kibble due to the double xp weekend.
Bola and don't use the tranq info from dododex because it's absolutely wrong by about 3 and 100 on a giga
Find a ptera that's a 140 or higher with base melee that's 200 or better. That's how you get the strongest birds! I just found a 145 with base melee at 245!
Scout:
Any level of pteranodon will work as the only stay you need to level up is weight. Good for getting around very fast.
Transport:
High level Ptera is preferred. Can be used to quickly transport resources back to base. I recommend pumping weight up to 300-350 and putting the rest into speed. 300-350 will ensure that you can carry an entire stack of 200 metal, saddle, and tools without being encumbered. Works well an ankylo at the mining site or a character with high amounts of melee for fast harvesting.
Meat Gatherer:
High level Ptera preferred. Level up stamina to 2k, movement speed to 160-180% and the rest of the points to melee. This makes harvesting prime meat easy as you can fly it back to base in time and get it cooked before it spoils. Level up weight as necessary.
Bring at least one bola, 3-4 spike walls and a crossbow with tranq arrows. Wait for the pteranodon to land and wind up the bola to trap it in place. Shoot it in the head with tranq arrows and wait 5 seconds between shots. Once knocked out, place spike walls around it with a small gap so you can get in and check on its hunger and torpor. Check back every so often to add extra narcotics until tamed.
How to tame a ptero
Ya will need:
-bolas
-narcoberry
-meat
Find a ptero and throw bola on it. Knock that even it stay unconscious. Put meat on inventory (recommended 20 or less or more bc the tame bar grow slowly). Why narcoberries? When its unconsciousness will be ending, start feeding narcoberries to fill unconscious bar. Sorry if my english is bad.
Very very hard when I was trying to tame this I didn’t sucseed because
it keeps flying away.
1 make a bow and 5 knock out arrows.
2 find a pteranodon that’s on the ground.
3 shoot it in the head with arrow and if it flys hit it again.
4 give it dodo kibble ( only on mobile ) or simple kibble.
5 give it nacro berries if it is about to wake up.
6 give a saddle for your new friend.
For newer players...keep an eye on the Stam bar I've lost countless pteranadons by this rookie mistake
May the force be with you!
Super easy to tame. Bola it, feed it meat, give it nacroatics and boom. You have to be pretty high lv to fly it though sadly.
I never got won bit keep hitting it untill it's knocked out
