Tips & Strategies
Plan A: slowly approach the back of the Tapejara with the bola already winded up. As soon as you get close enough to throw the bola or it does its scared animation, bola it. Proceed to tranq it out and feed it meat/kibble, and be sure the area is clear. Just like that, you have a tamed Tapejara. (Gillie is optional, it just makes the tapejara less likely to spot you)
Plan B: If you miss the bola or the Tapejara was previously scared away by another creature, don’t sweat it, just follow these steps. Craft 4 wood (or better) Dino gateways and 2 gate doors. Go to a tall natural pillar or rock structure where non flying Dino’s can’t reach. Layer each gate infront of eachother with just enough space inbetween them for your human to fit through. Place a gate door on the front and back gateway. This is a birdcage trap. [Open one of the doors and take a flier to where the Tapejara is. Eat a rare flower next to it and it will agro on your flier. Make it follow you to the trap eating rare flowers along the way to keep its attention. This will also attract other fliers too, so do not do this anywhere near a wyvern or argy spawn. You don’t have to worry about pteranodons because they loose interest very quickly. As soon as you get to the trap, fly directly into it and jump off your flier. The Tapejara will follow it in so close the door behind it. You will now have an aggro’d tapejara and your tamed flier trapped in the bird cage. Dw about the trap or your flier’s health because Tapejara have very weak bites, and as soon as the rare flower wears off, it will stop attacking everything and attempt to fly away. Knock it out, and take your flier out of the trap. Periodically feed and it will be tamed.] With this method you don’t have to worry about babysitting it while it’s knocked out either. The trap is reusable so you can repeat all of the steps in the “[]” to tame another.
More Tapejara Taming & KO Tips
how I tame tapejara is by eating rare flowers then bola it or tranq it and they are a carnivorous animal, right? they eat meat, so give it raw meat. and your tapejara is finally tamed!
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.
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
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!
Do not leave it uprotected it has extremely low health after you knock it out.

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.
ARRRRRRRGH I just had THE WORST taming experience! Pro tip: DON'T try taming a high level one by dangling from an argy by a grappling hook... You'll end up dying TWICE and losing your argy, guns, and 80 narcotics... >:( :(
