Once you get a tek saddle, Tapejara shoots plasma.

You have to be pretty fast to do this you have to run

Up to it and quickly bola it and then tranq it

Don't get too close, they'll fly away and chasing them won't work, ya gotta sneak up, i recommend ghillie

I tamed my tape with one shot from asc bow and some prime no bolas flying creatures traps or the like

Genesis 2 has the net projectile. Shoot the Tapejara with the net projectile. Tranq out. The net projectile works on land and air Dinos, even when they are flying.

No net projectile? Eat rare flowers while on top of a tame set to passive. The Tapejara will attack you and the tame, jump off the tame and the Tape will continue to peck the tame. Now aim for the Tapejara and bola it. Now knock it out.

I one shot ko with asc bow it was ez

Once it is KO’d, build spike walls around it so that things like raptors and compys can’t eat it, as they have extremely low health after being knocked out. Keep in mind this will not always work, because some creatures, such as troodons can leap, meaning you should still keep an eye on it. I learned that the hard way. A got rid of the troodon with on 8.1 health left on my tapejara. I did manage to get him tamed up though!

Nuggets of ark if you are seeing this what server did you got to -captainawsomeD

I have never used a trap so I just carefully walked up to it and then I threw the bola and it was stuck so I hit it with tranq darts and it was knocked out

They are a really good flying dinosaur because it can hold up to 3 people on it witch is really good if you want to have your friends shooting off the back of it it’s also good for taming other dinosaurs if you have friends shooting at that dinosaur you’re trying to tame really good In my opinion 😀😀😀

So for some reason when I go try to land on a rock the tapejara falls down

Tapejara’s can fly backwards, left, and right without you having to turn your camera. Shifting also works when flying backwards on one.

This guy is great just bola him and tranq then when u take home he can hang upside down and he can fly like a helicopter. Pretty great just put all points into movement speed and stamina!

You can find these in the redwoods but it makes for a tough tame. Southeast isles on the river banks they are common and will often land.

(In mobile) If you encounter high level tapezara make sure you brought food enough to tame. If you knock out and ran out of food and go back home to get food and get back, you'll regret it afterwards.

Where full Ghillie suit to sneak up to it and tame

Make sure to be crouching or prone to sneak up to it

Hey guys they spawn near red not green dont let false information fool u.

You might wanna crouch before getting close to these bad boys. I'm new to the game and I heard these birds can do wonderous things so I tried to hunt for them but everytime I get close they fly away. I tried an air chase but I always lose them in the trees.

But you don't have to worry about me. I had all that trouble so you wouldn't. Crouch, Bola, Tranq and happy hunting.

While the trope is indeed faster the flying dorito is still the better fighter because its tek sadde does more damage, it doesn't have to worry about accidentally killing itself and it has two passenger seats

Usually found pretty high up on mobile , so I suggest getting a quetz with pumped movement speed and a plat saddle to tame , sometimes found on the ground it's very rare.make sure to follow it on the way down!!
