What is a pteranodon used for? pteranodon battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
When I was lv 50 or so I got rid of my first ptera to make place for an argy, but then I met another ptera just lifting up from the ground. It was a mere lv 7, but with an almost pure black body from the tip of its beak to the edge of its wings. Just spectacular. So instead of the argy I was about to knock out, I tamed the ptera, and named her Duskwing. (I did get the argy later on but not by replacing a ptera) Even to this day she's still in my camp, as a lv 47, faithfully watching over the coast, ready to bring me swiftly to wherever I want to go, and providing nutritious eggs.
I just tamed mine couple minutes ago and I was goin to do the "in the south of the island" quest but I didn't know if he would make it, he has 429 stamina is that enough or do I need more?
If so how much?
(I live close to herbivore island on the beach and I'm about 1-1.6km away from the quest.)
This tame is useful because it’s a flyer. I personally tame a pteranodon so I can go and bait another flyer that is bigger into a trap. (Griffin, Argentavis, etc.) They are very easy tames to get, usually the second tame I get with only something like a Parasaur beforehand. They can be helpful to scout and go around the map quick as they are fast flyers. I usually use my first one to setup a base in a far away/ hard to get to location. Overall, Pteranodons are vey easy games to get and very important assist for you at the beginning of your adventure.
