What are tips for tapejara? Tips and strategies for tapejara in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Eat a rare flower next to it and it will begin to attack you then just bola and tranq it once it's near.
Now that Rare Flowers agitate wild dinosaurs, you could use them to lure a Tapejara into a pen.
I noticed that they flee when you get close. My one was high in the sky above the ocean so I used a rare flower to agro it and i kited it to the ground, using my Ptera as bait and bola'd it. My Ptera died but I got a Tapejara for it. RIP Ptera.
Use rare flowers while on a flyer and lead it into a 2x6 taming pin. It's difficult to get into the pin do to the speed but if you have plenty of rare flowers you'll be fine...
The best way to tame a tapejara after the patch to rare flowers is to use a pteranodon to get close, eat a rare flower, and watch the thing try to rip your face off. A tame pen is advised as well as a high level pteranodon or flier otherwise you have to explain why you and your tame got killed by a Dino that runs away from people.
Instead of trying to sneak up on it, have an open taming pen ready, use a pteranodon and eat some rare flowers. The Tapejara will aggro and you lead it home. Viola, captured pterosaur.
9/10 one of my favourite flying mounts. I go everywhere with mine, scouting and getting some stuff. The control is so satisfying and better instead of the other flying mounts that you have to look here to go there all that shit. Level up weight and stamina, take it wherever. Downside is that it can't pick up many things. I also used mine to tame stuff, using it to go to places faster and for a getaway. I used the solo Tapejara strategy to tame a Quetzal!

Eat rare flowers while you are on your flying mount and lure it in some sort of trap then bola it and tranq it. Make sure it is enclosed so that it can't be attacked during the tame
Use rare flowers to get it's agro then hop on a thylo or any tame where u can pull out weapons and bola it
Pop a rare flower and it will attack you, use an argy trap to get it real easy.
Now that rare flower attracts Dino's to attack, you can now lure the tapejara to a cave/ taming bin or somewhere safe. And all you do is bola it when it's attacking u and down she'll go
Use a rare flower to take it to a taming pen. It will be agro on you for quite some time but bring 20 just in case. Have an argy with high hp so it can take the hits while you bring it to the taming pen
Tried to tame one 3 separate times. Each time I hit it with a bola, knocked it out, and put meat in it. Each time something came from somewhere and killed the tap and my pteradon
With the new addition of rare flowers taming these things have gotten easier because now you can get the aggression from the tapejara with the effect from the flowers. This will make them not run away and you can finally bola them without a hassle!
Be sure to have a ghillie suit. Way easier to bola it that way. Tapajara makes quetzal tame an easy task being that you can shoot from the mount while flying in first person
Fly sideways while shooting from a passenger seat to avoid shooting the pilot or mount.
I think if the three saddle and the bird is careing a player you might be able to grapple on for more than 4 players
DO NOT LOG OFF WHILE ATTATCHED TO A TREE OR CLIFF! you will find yourself on the floor and your bird MIA (possibly still on the cliff)
