Tips & Strategies
A saf’r tapejara guide!
You'll need: stone dinosaur gateways, 2 stone dinosaur gateway doors, 6-10 rare flowers or more depending on the distance you put your trap, a tanky flyer (maybe 1000 or more health?) that can fit through the doors and a good steep mountain thats fairly safe.
STEP 1: Set down your birdcage trap, open one of the doors thats in the direction of the tapejara.
STEP 2: Munch a flower, make sure no other flyers other than the tapejara are following you. Make sure the rare flower timer doesn’t go below 5 seconds at least.
STEP 3: Once you get it inside the trap, lock your tame and the tapejara in and begin shooting, don't worry about your tame as the timer will go down and it'll stop attacking (tapejaras are a fleeing animal like pteranodons!)
STEP 4: Do the usual knockout tame stuff, fill it with narcotics and food and wait until tamed!
Tada! You have made a reusable trap and have a tapejara :D
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.
You can eat rare mushrooms or rare flowers to anger these things
A raptor killed it while taming so i put a bullet in his head and made an EXAMPLE TO HIS BROTHERS
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
I use these things to tame quetzals
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!
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.
