What are tips for tapejara? Tips and strategies for tapejara in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If you eat rare flowers, tapejaras will attack you. Best way to tame is to lead it into a pen and then tranq it.
You are able to solo tame it by eatinf rare flowers so it rages on you land and knock it out or bola it... be careful of all the other animals which will attack you if in range.
If your a server just see if you can get an egg off someone else. That's what my tribe did.
Use rare flowers to kite it into a trap, this will make taming it almost effortless. In my opinion the best mount for solo taming.
DODODEX HAS AN ERROR! It is affected by bola and also lasso! Please bump to fix this mistake!
Both of these are AMAZING for taming your new tap. Bola stops him from getting away and since you only need like three tranqs, you're gold. Then grab your Equus and saddle and drag him back to safety, instead of treating him like a mini quetzal and walking off the perimeter :)
now that blue flowers cause creatures to attack you, eat one and let it fly to you!
Eat some rare flowers so it attacks you, lead it into trap, knock it out, tame, enjoy!
Can be lured into a tameing trap with rare flowers
Watch out for other dinos though
Get high health bird, eat rare flowers, lead in cage, tame!
Use rare flowers to agro the tapy. Instead of running like a poosy it'll try and attack you and in turn will follow you to where ever you desire.
(other flyers like argies and pteradons also become agro aswell, so be cautious
They can now be lured using Rare Flowers! Just eat a flower near one and kite it into a taming pin.
Use rare flowers to aggro then fly/run back to base, bola and tame!
Now with the rare flower change, you can make it aggro you and take it back to your base, then keep it aggressive to you and knock it out easily with a bow or crossbow or longneck. Make sit super easy to take now.
While it's landed sprint at it with your bola fully charged then boom you'll get it 100%
I've taken down three so far while on my Quetzal... bring plenty of arrows or darts, and patience... a good Qtz can keep up with a wild Tape, as soon as you get close pepper it with arrows or darts... make sure you're not over water when you hit it. Will take several arrows so like I said patience. After following for a bit they tend to circle in place, that's your chance.
If you have a pachyrhino use the "C" function to aggro the tapajara and coach it back to your base. If you have a mate and a quetzal it is easier again, have your mate carry the patchyrhino close enough for you to use the aggro function a coach it back to base.
If you're on the island map, I find tons in drayos cove. Careful not to get killed by a therizinosaur or raptor. Surround a KOd tapejara with spike walls, and trap yourself inside with it.
If you use a quetz solo, let it run and fly away out of render distance. Once out of render It will stop running and you can get under to hit with a longneck. Rinse and repeat. You can also steer the tapejara anywhere you want when it is running. Making it easy to take down at your base of a safe location.
Have your buddy carry you on a quetzal while your on a megalosaurus grab it with the megalosaurus and have your buddy tranq it
