What are tips for tapejara? Tips and strategies for tapejara in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If u mess up and now it's in the air I got u.u should get a pteranadon with good stam so u can fly up to it then eat a rare flower so it chases u then u bring it to the ground and bola it while it's on u tame.plus u need a full gillie suit to get close to it or bola range.the level for the saddle is 55.u will need about 50 metal,300 hide,200fiber,40 wood.thats mostly all the materials.u can find them near south zone 2 at the swamp area.to tranq it out you will need a rifle and tranq darts.a crossbow and tranq arrows will also do good (slingshots and bows won't work I think). Goodluck
Seriously don't get distracted when taming. I was taming one and was bored so I decided to hassle a nearby diplodocus. My argentavis was trying to help but it killed the tapejara. Just focus on taming please unless you feel like crying.
There's 2 ways to tame this use rare flower to lure to a safe place bola and then use tranqs or no scope it with a 720 bola shot behind the back with full ghillie (I suggest the first one)
The tapejara can spawn around green tower, the easiest way I have found to tame them is when you see them start spinning the bola and run as close as you can and throw it as they lift up their wings. It's an easy tame from there just build a spike wall to be safe because they have low health.
Tapejara can bypass the Genesis flier restriction! You can't directly ride it, but you can ride in a passenger seat. If the Tapejara isn't already flying, whistling it towards water will do the trick. It will also remain flying if mounted while following.
Pressing E on it like this will put you into the front passenger seat. From there, you can whistle "All move to" to direct the Tapejara.
For me personally the best flyer on the game. Agile fast and the 3 seat saddle makes taming anything easy cause you can shoot properly from the air or side of cliff/redwood tree. I don't think they get enough respect always argy this argy that pffft I dont even use my argy exept for carrying dinos.
One thing is that it’s like the oviraptor. If it sees you it flys away. So you have to crouch or prone in order to get close enough. Then bula it and you have a tapajara
You don't need Ghillie suit, all you need is a Bola and good aim! I only used one bola to knock out this creature and shot it a few times with a crossbow, shoot 3-4 times in the head and if you have a spyglass use it to check its torpor.
Overall pretty easy tame! Too bad you don't get the saddle early, I tamed it at level 44, so it's kinda useless. Better at getting from point A to point B than ptera.
Okay I tried to tame about 10 of these with the sneaking up and bola method, honestly that wasn’t working. I got frustrated and the next one I found I just started spamming tranqs at its heads while it was walking and getting spooked, it flew for like 2 seconds and was ko’d, like what I was so happy, finally got one😭 pretty purple male named morado
If you want a fast and beautiful flyer this is one I’ve only seen about 5 of these things around and have mange to tame 2 tho one died. These animals are tricky but with they’re beautiful colors and a metallic looking shine as well as a beautiful assortment of sounds it makes. Tho using a bola is your best bet to catching it to tame. Make sure to have a lot of sleep stuff. These creatures have a sort of slow torpor and tame slow as well but it goes by fast
A very easy way to tame these wall-hugging, lizard-pidgeons is to put on a full set of heavy armor, get on a ptera, fly at it and eat a ton of RARE FLOWERS. Then fly him into your trap (so that none of you are violently annihilated by literally everything surrounding you), close the gate, shoot his face, and voila! You've got yourself a bord.
Is there a good spot on Island to get rare flowers?
Don't make your tapejara fight a super turkey I tried and had a few more dinos two the all died.
If ur tryin to tame one of these try lookin for them somewhere near the red wood-swamp border thts where they spawn... They're found almost everywhere around tht corner and try searching for them near the canopy, and another thing... If u suffer constant crashes and crash loops in the redwood biome then try to KO it asap then try to fly as high any can thtl unrender the rocks and other stuff then as soon any get the success notification get the hell outta there., recommended : high lvl Petra or argy
If you are going to try tame one get a gille suit on sneak up behind it and bola it if you don’t have a longneck you can use whatever weapon you want and if you want a longer lasting bola use the chain one!
I feel so bad for y'all it was really easy to tame mine (it's a eerie tapejara) I always see tapejaras everywhere but yeah bola it and then knock it out I use Allo kibble
