What are tips for tapejara? Tips and strategies for tapejara in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I see alot of folks saying how hard these are to get. It is simple as long as you are careful. USE A RARE FLOWER! You can lure them to an easy area and they are easy to bola when they are attacking you. Just be sure you don't got any big bad near when popping a rare flower. Happy Hunting!
If you don’t want to do the bola strat and want a bit more adventure, here’s my idea: take a grappling hook and latch onto it, then switch to another crossbow or longneck with tranq rounds, then open fire, and pray that you don’t fall into the jaws of a hungry Spino or Rex
How to tame, simple guide
1. Find one
2. Bola from a distance
3. Pump any type of traq into it
4. Feed it prime meat or if you don’t have it, regular meat
5. You have a new flyer! Enjoy!
So ur walk-in along the beach through some big rocks, fully expecting to be dinner soon when u stumble face to face with one of these around a blind corner. It spreads its big weird bat wings at u, makes a weird sound then u run away in terror! Found out it’s really more scared of u…
Or just me?
Eat a rare flower to get it aggressive towards you so it doesn't run away. Just make sure that no other creatures are near.
Some people say this things torpor goes down fast but it dose not. I goes down so slow at least it dose on mobile.
Not sure why, but chain bolas don’t work on tapejaras, at least for me. I had a paracer with a platform saddle and a turret, which is what I shot the tapejara with a chain bola with. I’m playing on Xbox. Does anybody know why this is happening?
If you have a quetz use it to knock one out the tapajeras are so annoying to find so get a quetz and a platform saddle then whenever you get close go up above the tapajera then shoot it with your desired tranqs they are so fast so it’s a little hard to catch them and they never land but a great tame nonetheless three seater fast can fly backwards and in all directions not very good for stamina and weight when tamed so put stats into those two. Do weight first then stamina.
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.
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

I am currently taming a tapejara and I used the stat calculator is that only for wild Dino’s cause I haven’t tamed it yet so it is a wild idk what’s happening
These things make every knockout tame(except titanosuar) a piece of cake
If you have a friend you can just put them in the front passenger seat and you can fly while they rain tranqs upon you're target
If you're alone these things can hang on cliffs and redwood trees and when you're hanging you can use weapons and shoot you're target with tranqs
Long story short these things are worth it
Don’t listen to the person that said use a saddled flying creature they will fly away if they see you or any ANY creature your using
I finally tamed it today and I feel it's rare I missed it 5 times this is my 6th try and got it 150 level before tame he somehow always get miss and run away and vanish
I have 2 argentives 1 quatzeal and 5 Petradon and 1 griffin I get respect cause of the name feature I put ign before entering the world
this is my luckiest tapejara high level according to me most I seen was level 10 to 40 bola worked this time
if he ran this time I would kill it and revived it saving embers and tame it

1. Make a trap for flying creature.(With 4 stone Dino Gate Frames)
2. Eat a Rare Flower when you near Tapejara.(Make sure there are no any creature around)
3.When you eat the Rare Flower Tapejara comes to attack you(This is effective for several seconds). Then you can trap it and tame it.
(Wear a ghillie kit to get close to it)

You don’t need a ghillie suit if you can trick shot bolas from long distance
