Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Tapejara in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

If your on the ground and close enough to a small enough creature and you press attack it will swallow it whole. It doesn’t show tho. -Rosy (PS I’ve improved a ton lol. Screw the pachy )

Use this thing to knock your quetzals and whatever else. You can have a rider on the back with a longneck and tranq darts and tame whatever the hell you want. Very good game for getting other flyers.

I would reccomend at least having a tribe mate or a quetzal with a platform saddle so you don’t have to wait for it to land.

By far the easiest way to tame is to grab a bola and clear the area of other animals.

Than consume a rare flower and the Tapejara with attack you instead of flying away. The have very, VERY low damage so you should be safe. Than just bola and knock out as normal.

Like most mobs, Tapejara have a primarily horizontal view range: if taming solo, waiting for it to land below a suitable ledge, rock or cliff can give you an easy vantage to bola or tranq from without it fleeing.

It's the attack helicopter of ARK. It can carry two additional passengers, and it can fly backwards as well as strafe. Probably the easiest bird to fly in combat.

If you do manage to trap it and tame it, bring your dinos home one by one so you can have practice flying the tapejara they are weirder to fly then pteranodon

Vilas do not work on him I tested erevrything but chase with a pt not with a argy and Carrie someone and tranq it till it falls butt it's ez to do it with girrfin

While sitting in the back seat of this thing you can shoot that Meeks it easy to tame many flying creatures including quetzuel

If you chase it up too high, use an argy, put your argy on passive, charge at the tapejara and eat rare flowers to bring it back to the ground level for tame. One shot with a long rifle and shocking tranq dart will drop it.

i used to be a huge stan for tapejaras (since i can just latch onto a tree/cliff and tame everything) but theyre not that fast and i resorted to reviving and taming.
