How do I kill a tropeognathus? tropeognathus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Tropeos spawn on any map taking tape spawns on Xbox, you can still find tapes as well but tropeos might take their place. This is only for Xbox.
Ifnyounplan on luring this iñto a trap with rare flowers careful this thing can pull you off flyers mid air if it's attacking you learned the hard way
Everyone Read This!
It Will Grab You off your mount, Destroy Everything you have on you and then kill you! DO NOT LET IT HIT YOU!
One spawned right in top of me, and began flying close to the ground.
Like an idiot, I thought it was a Tapejara, and threw my bolo at it.
It was only when I realised it wasn't what I thought it was, and was a passive tame, that I left it behind.... It chased me all over the mountain.
Every time I thought I was free, and began looking at dinos to tame, it appears like the embodiment of winged death.
Eventually it knocked me off my Dino, into a pit of 5 hungry dire wolves, and myself and my max level iguanadon died.
Always double check your target before attacking.
Whoever said that the sky is too easy in ark, do I have to introduce you to wyverns and managarmr?
We need to see these in lost island
Easy method for passive filters build trap big enough for it lure in with rare flowers riding a pteranadon once aggression goes away tame.
These guys can pick you off your mount and fly you higher in the air if agroed, its good to have a Simonacrops or a glide suit just incase this happens
Btw they attack back and they hurt
Stupidly rare or my luck is bad
Kill Tapejaras as it share its spawn with them. I killed a few Tappy then 3 of them spawn in a row. On Rag, they are found on long 25. Found two different spawn so far, near blue ob and above green ob, always on long 25.
MONSTER LOG
Tropeognathus
Behavior: Netural
The Tropeognathus is a pterosaur that is found in Crystal Isles.
I found mine in the red forest by the volcano, but they spawn near the floating islands too.
While slow, you can attach a jet booster on it’s back to soar in the sky at ever so fast rates. It takes gas as if it was honey. It can also shoot grenades via the turret on it’s back.
HOW TO TAME
You will need the following: 1 hand bola, 8 Stone pillar, 2 Stone roofs, 1 ballistic turret, 1 Chain bola, And taming food.
First, find the Trop
Second, throw the Hand bola
Third, Use the stone pillars and build a diamond shaped trap with the trop inside. Add the two roofs
Fourth, Chain bola the trop
Lastly, Feed it the taming food
Have fun taming!

To the person who said there on the island there is no Tropeognathus in the island there only in crystal isles.
Not sure if glitch but it says it’s not in fjur but it is
CRYSTAL ISLES COMES OUT TODAY FOR CONSOLE!!! IVE BEEN COUNTING DOWN FOR THIS FOR 2 MONTHS!!!
Found one on the island, however the food bar glitched and it won’t lose food so it seems a bit buggy
If it picks you up chainsaws it and it will drop you
What in the world does this thing look like? I’m not sure but I think I know. I think I used to have it on Jurassic world the game
Oops forgot to add this to the monster log,
If you decide to attack it, it will grab you by the head to bite you in the air. And if you do escape it’s jaws, you will take fall damage. Then it will repeat the process.
It's a tapajera/ Quetzal. How do you turn off that jet tho? Everytime I press R3, the one to turn it on, I flip flop into the sky.
