ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
So, I was looking for one. Reading the comments here, it was kinda easy. WRONG. They are so annoying. I STILL don’t have one! This is the materials you might wanna bring:
— 7 bolas (might not miss, but in case your TAPEJARA FLIES AWAY OR IS EATEN BY RAPTORS THE MOMENT IT IS KNOCKED OUT.)
— About 30 biotoxin (just in case it gets slain)
— I don’t know if tranq darts work (people say they kill it) but at least 18 tranq ARROWS (Just in case it FLIES AWAY OR GETS EATEN TWICE, TRUST ME I KNOW! IT HAPPENED.)
— A flier, saddled (I did my pterodon and my argy following, since they need to be protected and the ptero was to get there fast)
— Your favorite music! I’m just kidding, but I had it on. It may help you with encouragement!
— Oh, of course! Meat/kibble! About 40-60 (in case) meat normal and 10 prime meats (in case). You may wanna catch more.
Well, go somewhere and get it, SOMEWHERE WITHOUT RAPTORS! There is this spot by a little peninsula near the left bottom corner of the Island map. Go to the land and fly across the ocean surrounding the peninsula (mostly, it’s a peninsula) and go towards the corner curve thing to the right of the ruins when you first approach it from the ocean/peninsula. Then, see the little flat by the river surrounding the redwoods? Go into the forest, it’s loaded with tapejaras. I found 2 in 1 ark day. Knock out this thing and bola it first! Load it’s inventory with meat and SIT THERE DON’T GO AWAY. IT WILL GET EATEN BY RAPTORS, AND IF YOU DON’T LIKE RAPTORS GO FAR FAR AWAY. Protect, let it wake up as u pet, get saddle, fly. Well, bye. Hope this works, but if you’re on ark on a computer it may not work. I am on ark Mobile
More Tapejara Taming & KO Tips
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.
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
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
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!
Do not leave it uprotected it has extremely low health after you knock it out.
How to tame a tapejara:
1. If female pick up egg /male eat rare flower
2. Bola it
3. Shoot with sleep arrows or hit with fists
4. Feed it meat, prime meat, fish meat or prime fish meat.
(Tamed mine with meat and prime meat)
5. Enjoy your weird pterodactyl (tapejara lol)

Extremely difficult to tame. Best options are to bola it, and then use a longneck rifle with tranq darts. Otherwise trying to get it to fly into the side of a cliff and get stuff is the other option for a solo tame.
ARRRRRRRGH I just had THE WORST taming experience! Pro tip: DON'T try taming a high level one by dangling from an argy by a grappling hook... You'll end up dying TWICE and losing your argy, guns, and 80 narcotics... >:( :(

Since the new update, rare flowers make dinos aggro on to you, you can use this on a tapejara and it will follow you to a trap you've built. Just remember that each flower gives only 10 seconds of that debuff so if the bird is far away from your trap, you have to use it frequently while coming back. Also, if you need it to follow you after you've gotten off your dino, you need to eat another rare flower so that it can agro on to you once again.
