One of the best ways to tame the Tapejara is to build a cage and get near it on a flyer. Once you are near it eat some rare flowers and it will try to attack you and follow you. Using this method you can lure it back to your cage and tame it in a safe and controlled environment.

The easiest way to tame it is to use rare flower near it and fly into a trap u made

One thing that you could do (if your desperate) is build a tiny wood cage just big enough to fit a tapejera. Once you’ve done that find a good tapejera and eat a bunch of rare flowers. It will start to attack you (Make sure that your flying on a pteradon with good health(otherwise ground creatures will attack you)) then fly into the cage and shut the door and KO that thing.

Crouch towards it until your sure you can get it with your Bola (about two foundations) or it runs away. If you did get it in your Bola trank it with headshots. If it ran away use rare flowers to lead it somewhere safe and repeat the process. Also you might die from the tapejara.

Not a good fighter as pteranodon but you can freaking dodge barrel rolls with these, so maneuverable. You can go sideways and backwards and stuff. These things are like Attack helicopters

Warning!!

The kibble is off, at least when the Dex is set to 2x!

It is affected by rare flowers, so agro it with rare flowers and lure it into your taming cage.

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

I HAVE TRIED USING RARE FLOWERS BUT IT DONE WORK 😭😭

No need to use any kibble or mutton on a low level. Just prime meat.

Tamed one today but lost my arge to a giga… good trade I guess.

If you sit in a different seat on the saddle without a tribe mate flying it and your too close to the while shooting your tapejara will fly to the ground stay high and don't die

How do you manage to sneak up on one of these? The moment they are spooked, they take off at a ridiculously awesome speed?

If you find a high level try and get a friend to protect it while it’s unconscious rather than spikes as big theropods can kill it over the spikes

You don’t need one of these to solo tame a quetzal you can just kill the quetzal then take its implant than revive it at a revive platform but build a big a house around it then go in and revive it and tranq it then put meat in its inventory boom you have a quetzal

I really need to find one of these any have any idea where to find one??

Tapejaras are very rare dinosaurs and if you get to close to them they will flea. But you can bola them and they are one of “if the most” fast pterosaurs in Ark Survival Evolved The Island. I’m actually looking for one myself. Good Luck :)

That moment when you find out your tapejera can chill upside down on the ceiling... :D

Easy to tame, build a argy trap, fly near tapejera, eat rare flower, lead tapejera to your trap... Just have pteranadon, inside the trap tapejera with calm down and try to fly away instead of attack you or your pet once the flower wears off..!

I just looked around until I found a egg from a tapejara then fly to base it will attack me cause I took the egg that’s why you should use another flyer

a other flyer make sure its safe then bola use tranq arrows it will fall in your base and tame it sorry I haven’t tamed one yet

Literally everywhere on extincion in the sanctuary
