Tips & Strategies

Ghillie suit and you should be able to slowly walk right up to it. Hit with a bola and tranq arrow or tranq dart it to the face. Easy down if you use ghillie suit and a bola.
Most often found around the green obelisk or along the river that borders the south end of the redwood biome. Try to bola it before it gets spooked as most the time it will never land again.
I LOVE the tapujaras! And also I think they are better than pteradons.(probably gonna get ALOT od hate on what I just said) But its because 1.they can atatch on trees to get their Stamina! Meanwhile your SAFE! BUT the pteradons to get stamina you need to go on the ground where it's dangerous. 2. TAPUJARAS HAVE 2 SEATS AND FROM EACH ONE OF THEM YPU CAN SHOOT (perfect for giga taming,or wyvern egg stealing. BUT THE PTERADON HAS ONLY ONE SEAT AND YOU CANT SOOT FROM IT. 3. ALSO TAPUJARAS HAVE MORE STAMINA THAN PTERADONS AND STAMINA IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR FLYERS. THE ONLY REASON PTERADONS CAN BE BETTER THAN TAPUJARAS IS THEIR MELEE DAMAGE,SPEED AND SPRINT. BUT TAPUJRARS HAVE BETTER HEALTH AND STAMINA. BUT STILL I THINK TAPUJARAS ARE BETTER THAN PTERADONS. ^ DO THAT IF TOU AGREE
These guys are a tricky bunch. They’re the pterosaur equivalent of butterflies: they’re pretty to look at, come in a variety of colors, and are friendly towards nearby wild dinos but DEATHLY AFRAID of us silly hoomans. Therefore, there is some amount of preparation to be taken when taming one, especially depending on where it is.
Now, you may think you can tame them without the ghillie suit, and it is possible. However, the timing on throwing the bola at that point becomes EXTREMELY STRICT. If you’re even a half-second incorrect in the timing of your throw, or if your throw is even slightly awkward, then you can just go ahead and say “Bye-bye!” to that taming opportunity in particular unless you have another flyer you can use to knock it back out of the sky, and even then you’ll find that landing your shots during the chase is especially difficult, not to mention lacking a flyer is exactly why you’d even want to flock to these guys in the first place.
Therefore, while not an absolute requirement, the ghillie suit is still preferrable when going after these guys. It may be a pain to go to the snow region initially and have to race back out of there before you die to the cold or to a wolfpack, but considering the pursuits for the Obelisks, I’d say eventually setting foot over there is something of a rite of passage anyway.
I think they are more afraid of you than you are of them guys
No bolo and sneaking necessarily..just have a good owl or flyer with a lot of stamina..when you spot the one you want wait for it to land, keep your distance and make sure it’s back is to you, one or two good head shots with a longneck and tranqs you are good to go.
These things can be really hard to tame because they fly away fast so I recommend getting Ghille then bola it. After just knock it out and WATCH IT the way whole time because they have low health so a creature will kill it if you don’t. After it’s tamed enjoy a tapejara up if this helped:)
You can use rare
Flowers to bring them in traps
get bolas and rare flowers lead it somewhere safe like your base bola it and knock it out
How to change the seat in the new ark mobile?? I cant tame a dinos when I ride it as Before
Look it is hard to knock them out because of the fact that if you get close to them they will run. So you are going have to hit a 360 bola trick shot with the bola and hit it then knock it out. One more thing whe you are shooting it with tranqs they have low health so wait 5 seconds to let the narc kick in. Have fun and good luck survivors!
So annoying to tame, CARRY BOLAS.
Honestly just always have bolas in general
