ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
The males rarely land, so you've got to use another flyer like a pteranadon to get close. I usually have a flyer trap set up, many examples on YouTube or whatevs. When you get close to them, eat a rare flower which will aggro them for like 12 seconds. Doing this you can pull them literally across the map as long as your tame can tank the hits. When you get it into the trap just hop off your dino, shut the gate, bola the tapejara, get your dino out. Shut the door again before the bola wears off and the rest is easy. Don't worry if it loses aggro, they run away but they'll usually stop just out of render distance. This can give you time to recover and go again.

How to tame a tapejara
1: get the supplies witch are rare flowers,bollas,Something to kill and protect youβre self and finally something to knock it out I used tranq darts.
2: kill every thing in the area and I mean everything even dodos.If there is something you think you canβt kill like a Rex just tame it somewhere else.
3: Go near the tapejara and eat the rare flower.Now it will follow you and try attacking you.
4: Try to bolla it and once you do tranq it out.(bring more bollas in case it gets out of the first one)
5: Finally feed it the food you have for it then there you go you have a tapejera.
Its very easy to tame this thing, the hard thing is finding one of these, but when you find it make sure there are no dangerous wild dinos around because they might kill you, to tame it, slowly approach with a bola and when it looks like it will fly away, BOLA IT so it doesnt fly away and just shoot it with tranq arrows or anything that makes it unconcious,
His saddle has 2 extra seats and the passengers can shoot while flying.
A raptor killed it while taming so i put a bullet in his head and made an EXAMPLE TO HIS BROTHERS
To tame a Tapejara is actually, pretty easy, first things first, you will need:
-A saddled flying creature
-At least 3 bolas, in case you miss bolas in him(if you are feeling lucky, you can make only one, but I don't recommend it at all)
-Some Rare Flowers
-Club, Bow or crossbow(with tranq arrows, or else you will kill it)
-A lot of Meat(like, 20-40, only to tame eat, you probably will want more as he will get hungry after tamed), or at least 4-7 Prime Meat
-Narcotics(optional, in case of the Tapejara taking too long to tame, good having some as a backup)
How to do it: when you spot the Tapejara, use the rare flowers and make it aggro you. After that, get to land, exit your mount(recommend to put it to Passive, or your Tapejara will get killed), and bola it. After that, shoot/hit it with tour weapon of choice until you knock it out. Give it the food of choice(recommend also protecting it, as it has a low health and can easily be killed by raptors), and wait until tamed. CONGRATULATIONS, Now you have a Tapejara !! Hope this guide helped
I use these things to tame quetzals
This is my best flying Dino other than the griffin. You should really get this Dino. To tame sneak up behind using gilly suit and bola it then tranj it if available use chain bola it will hold longer
Note if ur mobile don't use rare flowers they won't aggro
Up for noobs to see
To those who can use revival stands, it only takes 9 ancient amber to revive a low level Tapejara! I got mine by making a box around the revival thingy, then after it was revived it was stuck in the box so it was easy to KO and tame it. And itβs a lot easier to kill one and take the tech thingy than it is to take one down and tame it there. It takes a lot of resources, but itβs very worth it because you can get some good Dinoβs this way. (I got an Argent using the same tactic
If they are hiding, and you don't want it getting away, kill all creatures around it, then eat a rare flower. It will come right to you, and when it does, bola it. Hope this helps!
