Use bola and traunq darts. Guard while it tames
Use bola and use heavy guards while it tames
I got lucky enough to find one between the redwoods and the beach, The Island, and somehow I got close enough to scare it off, but I got it bola’d in time and now I’m waiting for it to finish taming
Best solo method is with a griffin. Use a 900-1000 dmg rifle, and it should go down rather quickly. Try to keep a distance to prevent it from getting spooked. Also prevent from knocking it out over open waters. If you do then RIP, find another.
Keep away and start head shot sniping with a long neck and Tranq darts
Although they’re very difficult to tame, breeding them is a great idea. From my first 6 batches of eggs I got 2 triplets and 1 pair of twins. Imprint 100% and they’re beasts
When you knock it out you can heal it with a snow owl.
It needs exceptional kibble and not superior
Best way to tame: Eat flowers and fly to your closed base. The Tape can't fly away and it is protected.
On Ragnarok, always carry some bolas on your griffin. Bola it, then tranq it off the back of your griffin. Super easy. Thank me later, and vote up ;)
Find one using a flying tame with high-ish health. Once you find one, consume a rare flower and it will attack you. Kite it to a safer area or a taming pen while continuing to consume rare flowers. Be prepared to bola the tappy once at desired location, it can be tricky trying to bola a tappy when it is attacking.
Good luck, happy taming.
An easy way to tame this is to use a rare flower to get it to aggro you. Just use a bola while it's attacking you and put a couple of arrows into it's head (be sure to check how many, it dies easily)
Super difficult mobile tames so ima do mobile players a favor. Ima do the ghillie suit tame and no suit tame. With gillie suit it is important you don’t bring a pet close to it. It will heed no attention to you but get scared by the pet and fly away. Bola the tapejara and knock it out with preferably a rifle with darts. If you just start out and seriously want one then here u go. Find a tapejara and keep your distance. Seriously. After you pull off a successful bola throw, hurry and start beating the heck out of it with a club. There u go. The taming part isn’t as hard but the knocking out part is difficult. Also a little pro tip, for mobile players, dunno if it works on other consoles, but if it sees you, let it fly out of the render distance so it “disappears” after you do that, run toward the direction it flew in and voila it is not scared anymore. Hope this helped!
Best method of taming in my experience is to fly up to it with a high stamina bird, then eat rare flowers and kite it to somewhere safe. Proceed to bola it and tranq it out. To find a safe place may take 20 or so rare flowers so come equip!
Best tip is to use flowers.. make a trap take flowers till ya in the trap and close doors.. just stay in there on ya argy or owl or what ever.. after a short time it will drop agro.. jump on ya bird and knock it out.. open doors fly your tame out close doors and wait.. feed bird and boom easiest tappy tame u will ever do
Eat 4 Rare Flowers an let it chase you into a trap, Boom easy KO
(EXTINCTION) sanctuary east is overpopulated with them!
