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
Tapejara
The Tapejara is a versatile and highly maneuverable pterosaur known for its three-person saddle. While it may not have as much stamina and weight carrying capacity as other creatures, it has unique benefits in combat. The Tapejara can land on trees and other vertical surfaces, allowing both the pilot and the passengers to use weapons. Its rudder-like fin make it one of the few flying creatures able to hover and strafe side-to-side.
Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Tapejara in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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…
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 like flying around for drips bring scuba flippers and you can hover so close to the water you can hop off and get underwater drops and easily get back on
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…

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
For an easy island map tame, chase it to the volcano & lure it up the side, it gets stuck a lot & you can eventually chase it into the volcano where it gets trapped, easy & safe tame!
Run up bola already swingin and have good aim only one chance lucky if it goes into a wall but either goes up or down the wall wen it runs in to dont chase them they run for ever
I've found the easiest way to tame is to use a quetz with a thatch cage for the tapejara, theres many YouTube videos. Just remember don't trap and tranq over water it will never end well
Sneak up on it in a ghillie suit bola it then drop it. Don't chase they'll fly far and high to get away from you
Knocking it out is pretty hard, as it has high torpor and low health. I recommend using tranq darts, as it will most likely die otherwise. You can however use a bola on it, which makes your job already a lot easier. Taming it doesn't take too long either.
First you need anything to k.o the tapa, then you need to trap the dino in a wall or hole then bola the tapa and trank it
A great mid-game flyer for traveling, combat and reconnaissance. Has good speed and stamina, the best agility out of any any flyer in the game, and can stick to walls. Taming one is fairly easy, and definitely worth it.
Pretty easy if you have rare flowers, just fly up to em with the flower aggro "buff" active, then land, bola n shot em in the head. GG enjoy your tap :)
One shot at its head with a tranq arrow does it.
