Tips & Strategies

What are tips for tapejara? Tips and strategies for tapejara in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I tamed 6 of these guys in a little over an hour. (Have 14 now because I absolutely love them) They’re not that difficult after you learn how to use the bola. On crystal isles, far right side of map in the middle, there is a valley of floating islands that has tiers on each side and waterfalls/rainbows at the back. (I’m new so don’t know the regions yet) Land a pteranodon a little ways away once the tapejara lands (I say this because these are the easiest bird to tame- also with a bola).. once I got better at the bola, I just run up on them and bola them before they take off. Then tranq it 3-4 times in head (depending on level). It goes down before bola breaks.. feed it kibble/ mutton for quickest results but regular raw meat will do fine, just slower. The majority of this area is non predators (as long as you’re not at the top near the water and giant jumping spider crabs try to eat you lol)- your Tappy will be safe
So I followed some of the basic tips on here for taming. Found one but it ended up being attacked by a carno. It flew away, I chased it down on an argy, until I saw it calm down. I then Flew high above it, crafted parachutes and put my argy on follow, parachuted down and bolaed it mid air. Worked like a charm. So yea there a nice lil backup plan encase your tapejara Flys away on you.
If low level bola and then toxicant arrow in the the head with crossbow to knock it out
Using rare flowers to lure them to safety is really handy, especially if they are really high in the air. Once they are somewhere safe I use the rare flower still to keep their interest and then bola them. Using a good longneck and getting headshots should knock these guys out fast.
1. Eat Rare Flower Near Tapejara
2. Bola It When Landed
3. Feed Any Type of meat. I Suggest Allo Kibble
4. Feed Bio-Toxin Or Narcotic
5. There You Go
A Flying Friend
White Tapejaras spawn in the North Zone 2 Oasis.
Find an area that is crowded with things like trees and rocks,then find one and Bola it.Hope this helps.
It can cling on walls, but if you fly backwards into the wall and try to cling you will face down, instead of up. Being able to shoot things below you and easely tame a wide variety of dino's that can't reach you, exaples are; Rex, allos carnos, anky's, and even thylacoleos by clinging on the opposing tree and shooting it, you will want to make sure you put a bear trap under you when taming, because they will flee out of range and escape your grasp because of their torpor. The tapejara may be hard to tame sometimes, but if will save you a bunch of recources for traps.
use wild flowers (i think) and tranq it feed it stuff and boom there you go you now have a i forgor
If you need one badly and can Switch between Maps then you need to go in Crystal Isles, there are very Common where the flying Islands are, at the top right Corner of the map

Use rare flowers to lure them into a cage trap them in it tranq, tame and there you go easy tame let others know if you like it
mine was easy it had no stamina so it had to land so it could only fly for a few seconds before having to go down again that way it barely covered any ground
Rare flowers worl on them people so if its in the sky and won't get down use one!!!!!
These things seem very arrogant and high on themselves who agrees?
For those who don’t know, rare flowers don’t aggro animals on mobile. If you’re mobile it’s easier to just bola the tapejara while it’s on the ground and then shoot them with narc arrows, you can use a slingshot too but it will break out of the bola before you knock it out most of the time.
I found like ten of these around the red obelisk but didn’t tame one, if you need to tame one you can eat a rare flower and it will agro to you and you can tame it easily.
