Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a tapejara? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a tapejara.
if you can wait, on ark mobile you get a Journeyman tapejara saddle after completing the Thin Air pursuit, so you won’t have to wait to get the engram
When sprinting (fleeing) they’re the fastest dinosaur in ark
They tend to spawn around the green tower on island but all you need is a couple Bola's a few tranc arrows and be careful of all the rapers and snakes
Have pesky ichyornises? Get on the tape's passenger seat then whistle attack then the ichyornes and it can't steal from you
sorry for bad grammar

If you spot one keep your distance and wait till it lands hop in your gilly and creep like seal team 6 bola from the back and trank with whatever you got. I surrounded mine with spike straps, then starved till you can see the bone on his food meeter while your waiting for that try and get all the best meat 🍖 you can find. Then enjoy the wind in your beard. Named mine Hawk happy hunting folks.
So to tame mine I actually didn't have a ghillie armor so I just landed my argy at like 2 meters of the tapejara, waited for it to land, then winded up my bola and ran at him lol
Then, I threw it on the tapejara and knocked it out with a tranq dart. Finally, I saw a diplo near it and killed it to get prime meat, gave it to the tapejara and boom tamed :)
Sorry if my english is bad lol

It was pure luck taming my Tapejara. I was running along on my newly tamed raptor and there was this beautiful black and bronze Tapejara flying into two trees going nowhere.. so I just got off my raptor, shot it with some trank arrows and the rest is history.. her name it Lucky.
If you find one eat a rare flower and every passive or neutral Dino’s should come to attack you so make sure you are protected then just trap it in gates and knock it out ez tame a L bozo
Just hop on a flyer and eat rare flowers to keep it aggro at you and then fly it into a trap. Close the door behind it. Ezpz
In order to tame one just use a rare flower near it and it will aggro on you while it aggros on you just bola it and then pump it full with tranqs
These things are really hard to tame but here's what you'll need full ghillesute,tranqdarts or tranqarrows,biotoxin or narcotic,bolas if on console then agro with rare flower. Hope this lodout helps because I failed using it.
Use rare flowers to get it out of the sky, then bola and tranq it. Works like a charm every time.
So the thing is you need to find it it's hard but if you do follow these steps:
1:when you see it wait for it to land
2:sneak up to it if they see you they'll fly away so crouch
3:when your close to it bola it
4:shoot it with tranq arrows, tranq darts, remember tranq arrows can kill it
5:when it's unconscious give it raw meat,raw prime meat,allosaurus kibble it prefers allosaurus kibble
And boom you have a tapejara
If you’re on scorched earth I found LOADS in the mountains near the red obelisk they’re really easy to tame with a long neck and tranquilliser darts but I couldn’t get mine to bola, have fun
Its really easy to tame a tapejara but hard to find and when you find one wear a ghillie suit or if you dont have resources to craft one just make sure you stay crouched trying to approach it and that its not near any predators because if it gets scared it will fly away REALLY fast so bola it as soon as you can then shoot it in the eye with tranqs.
If you try to bola the Tapejara but miss, it’ll fly into the skies... and will stay in the skies! Bring Rare Flowers before trying to tame one just in case.
The way I tame Tapejaras is I bola it, and then I build a row of 5 Dino Gateways with gaps in between over the Tapejara, and then I close off the entrances with Dino Gates. Then, I’ll tranq it out.
If I miss the bola and the Tapejara takes off, then I’ll build the trap anyways, and leave the doors open. Then, I’ll fly up to the Tapejara, eat a rare flower, and lure the now aggressive Tapejara into the trap. I’ll dismount my flier (and leave my flier in the trap), quickly exit the trap and close the doors, and then wait for the Tapejara to stop attacking my mount. Then I’ll knock out the Tapejara.
These are the easiest methods I know of to tame a Tapejara. I hope this helps!
I suggest using a pt and eating rareflowers to lead it to a trap
I found three of them near red obelisk on the island for anyone who can't find one
Hard to do, but aggro with rare flower and pull into a covered pen. Close pen. Need a giant gate at least. Wood or stone works. Then bola and tranq at leisure within safety of your pen. No baddies to get him.
How to tame
1. Find one
2.have a flying mount so you can chase it
3.approached it while swinging bola when it looks like it’s about to fly it takes a second for it to launch up throw the bola shoot it once or twice in the head and then feed it preferably prime I recommend killing stegos or sarcos for prime meat and then about 10 narcotics the high the level the more these amount change
