How do I kill a tapejara? tapejara battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Wild Tapejaras are almost as fast as pteranodons if you startle them.
Just make a stone dino pin like a 5 by 5 with a small dino gate find the tapejera you want and eat rare flowers and itll agro you youll need a strong flyer because other dino might agro you as well
I found a lvl 70 and a 125 ( For me 150 is max ) near (kind of) the green Obelisk, as you come from the south where the river splits in 2, to the left is the swamp, go to the right until it splits again, that's where I found my 125, Also near the hill with a decent amount of metal on it to the south of the redwoods and swamp pretty much on the middle line I think, that's where I find them often
75 latitude and 15 longitude is where I live on the island map and I keep on finding them around there after I lived there for a while.
You cannot be picky about the colour or level of it.they are hard to catch so you have to go with what you get and if you're lucky it'll be one you want
Here's a tip that you can hang tapejaras in air and shoot from passenger seat without any driver because these things will land on the surface if you change seat to passenger without any driver:
Step 1: Set your tapejara to follow you.
Step 2: Set the tapejara's follow distance to low.
Step 3: Now get on your Tapejara and fly in the air.
Boom! You can change seat to passenger without any driver and shoot from air without getting your tapejara always land on the surface.
You can easily knock out any dino from the air without any driver.
Hope this tip helped you!
They are more commenly found in the south side of the island map but do be carful you will fined lots of rapters there and trust me I know
If you didn’t know, the second attack of the tapejara (the one where it stands up on 2 feet and roars) is actually a very useful pvp attack, if anyone is trying to pick you with a pt just do that attack right before they pick you and you won’t get picked.
Also the easiest way to tame this thing if it’s in the sky is to lead to the the volcano, if you lead it close enough it will land on one of the cliffs and then you can bola it and tranq it, these animals have low torpor like the pt so it shouldn’t take you much darts
Dorito headed pteranodon that is shy because he keeps a bag of Doritos for himself and is shy around social media because humans like social media.
These flee too fast for their own good, sometimes ending up in more dangerous places.
Me on a random hunt: *Runs past one of these and doesn’t even look at it more than a few seconds*
The Tapejara: *Literally gets scared just because a human is near even though it could see that I wasn’t gonna do anything and flies off*
Me: *facepalms* Goddamn scaredy-cats...
‘I spent what felt like years trying to find a tapejara and gave up but then I find a level 85 one while flying home and then it gets stuck in rocks, it took 3 in game days to tame it but now it my fav Dino!
In crystal isles they are usually attacked by tropeonathus
On Ragnorok they spawn by desert waterfall and all the way down the ravine up to wyvern cove
You don't need a gillie suit if your fast and have a bola at hand. I tamed one very easily with tranq arrows.
If your trying to tame a tapejera you should make a set of ghille suit so it wont get spooked and try to bola if it is on the ground, but i still need find out how i knock em out in the air
If you found it and have no bola, please dont go back to your base to make some. Get the resources needed nearby because if you go far enough it will probably despawn or fly away.
If your server is a well populated good luck finding a higher lvl. We usually run about 45+ players so the only time you can really tame anything is early in the morning. So finding these are next to impossible.
They’re literally everywhere in the city on Extinction.
Fly above soawn areas with rare flowers if your having a hard time finding them
