What are tips for tapejara? Tips and strategies for tapejara in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
(The island) They spawn between the redwood and the massive mountain at very high altitudes. I found 3 at the same time there.
So i found a high level tapejara it landed and i was ready to bola it and tranq it but then i got worried cuz a therizino was nearby and i killed the therizinosaurus with my argentavis but the… THE TAPEJARA GOT STARTLED AND WONT LAND i dont tame creatures in the redwoods cuz of the creatures so FRICK YOU DUMB POOPY FREDDY KRUEGER COPY!!!!!! >:(
Easy tame my ahh rear. look at it funny and it flies away at moch 10.
If you're wondering "dang, why does the tapejara fly not as fast as expected, i can't even catch up to a wild tapejara. do i need less weight? lemme get rid of some items." then you're right. The tapejara loses about 55% of its movement speed when its tamed, but the game "compensates" the loss by buffing its movement speed to like 250% so that it is almost as fast as a wild tapejara, but it is exacerbated by the fact that you will usually be riding the tapejara while its weight is about 40% occupied.
These dudes are amazing tames cause while slow at first they can get pretty fast with only a few levels pumped into speed. They can cling to surfaces and allow you to snipe things from a tree. They can carry three people and if solo you can whistle it to follow you and switch seats and it will hover in the air while you shoot the creatures below.(if you have them whistled to be stopped they will land though) if they run low on stamina unlike other flyers you don't have to land just switch seats for a bit and keep going. They are one of the safest ways to take out powerful creatures too. Their saddle is also gotten pretty early so you can ride them in about mid game. And finally they are a good way to tame a quetzal. Overall an amazing tame absolutely would recommend. Their only problem is their hard to find and if it sees you it will fly off to high heaven and you'll never see it again.
A good idea for knocking one out is to use the calming mist from a Pachyrhinosaurus. It won't freak out and fly away when you calm it, which gives you the opportunity to bola it and then tranq it.
I recommend you set a trap, Tapejara won't let anyone get close. (I'm Brazilian so I apologize if there's an error in English)
You can cheese them by going out of render after shooting them with your tranq of choice. They become calm again after going out of render so this trick makes them pretty easy. Rinse and repeat and you have yourself a tape. (Have not tested on anything besides mobile. Good luck!)
Where are they in the center? I’m trying to practice stuff but I can’t find any
In The island map you will always find it near red obilisk
In ark ultimate mobile, i tamed a level 15 Tapejara (HP 380) by bola it and hit with club to make it unconcious.
I used 3 prime meat to tame it. Each prime meat gave 40% taming, torpor is good, draining slowly. Easy to tame
Extremely shy. Handle with care.
Bola that mf outta the sky they don’t take fall damage
They like to stay high in the sky like a quetz
if you can wait, on ark mobile you get a Journeyman tapejara saddle after completing the Thin Air pursuit, so you won’t have to wait to get the engram
