Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a pteranodon? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a pteranodon.
In Old Ark Mobile, to tame a ptera fast is by completing the "Hunt Dilophosaur" pursuit. When you get the ascended bow, make atleast 10 of tranq arrows. After that, complete the "Hunt Megapiranha" pursuit to get Soothing Balm, which is useful to make taming 10 times faster. After that, you want to search for a high level pt, (atleast above 100 lvl) and shoot it unconcious. Use the balm and kill some Stego or dinos that gives you Prime meat when harvested. Place the meat in your ptera, and it will be tamed!
This process took about 10 minutes, and it took about 3-5 minutes on a 250 lvl ptera (because i have tamed it)
The pteranodon utility is just it's speed, which if you ask me, i will rank it A tier for that because you can fly faster than most of the creatures! You can also get from herbivore island to carno island very fast! (Very fast if tou tame a very high level one, atleast above 250)
It could also pick up small creatures and players! Making it one of the greatest early PVP flyer.
I just tamed a lvl 130 female on lost island, all I did was bola it, then shot it with tranq arrows until it fell asleep, fed it meat and Narcotics until it was tamed.
I was lvl 21
How to tame these early-ish fliers!
Step 1. Get a Bola and throw it at the PT
Step 2. Hit it with a tranq arrow (if that doesn't work shoot another one
Step 3. Feed narcotics to it from time to time
Step 4. Put meat in inventory
Step 5. Wait
Step 6. Enjoy
hit it with a bola and beat the crap out of it with your fists,
grab some meat and bio toxin then tame it.
Wait till the Pteranodon is super hungry then feed it prime meat
knock it out after bola-ing it.
feed it nartic/bio toxin/narco berries. to feed narco berries with no hassle switch between meat and narco berries, and vola! you have good tame.
These guys are easy to tame and no doubt probs the first flyer you ever tamed and they are also one of the fastest dinos in ark.
How to tame! First lure jellyfish to land for free narcotics find a pteranodon and Bola it punch it until is knocked out then feed it meat if it's about to wake up give it the jellyfish narcotics that's how u tame a pteranoson!
1. Find a pteranodon with good stats and leveling or just one you desire
2. Bola said pteranodon
3. Force feed it tranq arrows (not actually just shoot it)
4. Feed whatever taming food you want
5. Name it then craft a saddle (if you are on valguero I’m sorry)
6. Enjoy your pteranodon and level it up!
Step 1 bola it step 2 use a club to knock it out step 3 give it raw meat and now you have yourself a pternoadon
Here’s how u tame em,they are really early tames that will be really useful,so right after u get the cooking pot you could get some female dodos which in turn give u eggs,those eggs could serve for making kibbles that the pteranodon needs,then just wait until one lands,bola it and then keep fisting it if u don’t use slingshots,feed it the kibbles and now u got a pteranodon
If you are still a Bob, and this will be your first flight, do not use kibble you need jerky which is annoying and time consuming just used cooked or prime
Many people say highlands on ragnarok is the best way to go but valguero is definitely underrated, way more ovis and pteranodon spawns then ragnarok. The edge between chalk cliffs and the starter spawns is the best place to go for sure.
Use tranqs on pteranadons because they're torpor drops fast
How to easily tame
1 get bola
2 bola pteranodon
3 feed meat (if you don’t use soothing balm, use narcotics to keep it asleep)
Very easy to tame all I usually use is:
2 bolas (just in case you miss)
3-5 meat piles (about 50 atleast in each)
Bio toxin (98-200)
Narcotic (if you want)
———————————
Steps:
Find one!
Wait till it gets on the ground
Make sure (raptors/Rex/dilos) arent near it
Bola it!!
Give it meat and bio toxin or narcotics(50-100 atleast)
Then whenever it’s unconsciousness goes down just feed it bio toxins!
Up if this helps you!! <3
I tamed more that 5 PTs and encounter more than 70 . Now I have a lv154 PT in medium difficulty.
I will give a suggestion I saw so many people posting that to tame a PT with a club and probably they tamed a low level PT not more than lv 20 or something. Unlock trank arrow then approach it bolla and hit with trank arrows. Don't tame a low level PT they can't even carry 50 arrows
You can use a bow to tame these guys make sure you have narcotics or bio toxins use tranq arrow to knock them down crossbow work the best aim for the eye tho and feed them meat prime meat prime fish meat or fish meat there saddle is unlock at level 38 make sure you have the saddle there you go you have yourself a airline
Aim for the head
You can find high levels on ragnarok in the highlands, and you can find Ovis easily in the highlands so you can tame them with mutton. Beached whales also spawn on the volcano beach which is right by the highlands. Beached Whales give a crap ton of Keratin which is something you need to make the saddle. You don’t have to up if you already knew this.
