Do you want some extra wait on this??? Then tame listrosourus or dilosourus and upgrade weigh of them then pick them by your pteranodon. Do not put stuff in pteranodon inventory,use dilo or listro . You can also do it on dodo but its 1% less effective. If you are high level try on other flying dinos i am at low level so only tried on pteranodon! Your welcome

Pteras can collect element dust and the rest from light posts on Extinction. All flyers can but ptera does it best imo.

Grab and tame an 130+ make it have decent stamina like 1800 and then pump speed I have one that is 188 and has 241% speed it can travel a square in the map for corner to opposite corner in 10 sec

If you want to zoom around very fast upgrade he’s movement speed and stamina I have a pterodactyl and it’s name is ZOOM he died fighting a Rex

Very useful for PvP. Pick people up and barrel roll them for easy kills. They can also fit in a 1 by 1.

Pump melee, health, lots of stamina and a bit of weight and you have yourself a dino that can fell low level alphas (that are about smaller than an alpha rex)

These things are awesome. If you put points in stamina and melee damage you can have a air strike dino. Just barrel roll into your target

Upgrade stamina and weight with every chance you get or you will be sorry.

Just so everyone knows, on ark mobile they can actually fit through door frames when you are careful doing it. I’m not sure if this is on any other devices but yeah they can fit through door frames

I wish they could pick up with their beaks

To be completely true to myself and to whoever’s reading this I’m still new but I do know this my single player world is on the easiest settings so fair warnings I tamed a level 29 bird and I got it up to level 32 now if you want to tame a bird use a bola then when its on the ground hit it with rocks so you don’t hurt the health to much then just feed it what ever meat you got this is also good for hunting sorry this so long :3

I used mine to get obsidian from the mountains (he had 250 base Weight) but one morning I went there and got mobbed by 3 level 120 griffins and 1 level 50 scorpion and a low level giga I tried to save my Dino knowing that I could come back with my 15 sabers but NOPE. 1 like equals 10 rips for my pt :(

HARVESTING TIP! Tame a few of these. 3 at least if you don't want them to die by an argentavis. Upgrade their weight tolerance and use them to cargo wood and stone to the base you're building. I did this in singleplayer when I was making a base on the volcano. Be sure to make water jars, because you'll need them.

If you have a pte, you should level it on stamina and weight. If you think those are good then you should level the pte on meleedamage and than it is a beast

Don't let your ptreanadons fight dimorphidons. RIP

Despite the wiki saying Ptrandon cannot fit through a doorframe, they actually can fit through a open door while flying. Don’t use open doorframes to trap one unless you want a big chance of your Ptrandon escaping.

Source: I got my Ptrandon stuck in my house multiple times because he followed me through the doorframe.

This is good for two player ice cave runs with good stamina and health

As with any flier, land with about half stamina, so you can fly away from any ground threats you might encounter

These things can be way helpful for gathering wyvern eggs! Just get it to level 150+ putting all points into stamina/weight. Find where the wyvern eggs spawn and fly next to one and take it. But let the Ptera regain stamina first. Then fly out and kite any wyvern following between some trees and fly away with your prize!

Especially for newer players. Make sure you keep an eye on the stamina bar. You don't want it to run out while airborn, because your pteranodon will be forced to slowly descend to whatever area is directly beneath it, trying to find a flat surface that's not water to land on. Your stamina also won't regenerate until you land, meaning if you try to attack or pick up nothing with your pteranodon you will gain torpidity, but you would have to constantly attack or try picking up nothing for your pteranodon to fall asleep. If you are flying directly above the ocean, your pteranodon will stop right before it hits the water, meaning you won't be dismounted and then the pteranodon will give you free movement to fly anywhere else (probably to land), albeit at a very slow speed because you have no stamina. For example, if you are forced to land in the swamp the both of you will either be fine or 100% dead depending on if there's any creatures nearby. If you land near dilos or raptors you will probably be fine because the pteranodon can attack on land using its beak, and its attack speed paired with its knockback can easily make you chain attacks infinitely until they die, or your pteranodon falls asleep.(this is unlikely to happen unless you attack over 200 times with no stamina) The ability of the pteranodon to attack on land using its beak is only available on mobile, plus all versions of the game except one (you should probably be able to guess which version and which mobile i'm talking about)
