More Tapejara Taming & KO Tips
I have been planning to take a tapejara for a while so once I finally worked up enough courage to do so, I’ve looked through a lot of these submits and I’ve noticed that people spend so much time just to find one, the second I went looking for one I found one, then I proceeded to tranq it, but after three tranq arrows to the head I killed it 🫤
I was looking for a Tapejara and I have been for the past five days and I came across one. Then all the sudden I look to my right and I see a Alpha Carno charging at me. R.I.P my poor Pterodactyl whom I had just tamed that day. Never got the Tapejara any tips for my terrible luck? 1 like= One prayer for me.
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
If you eat a rare flower a tapajara will follow you to try to kill you and you can just tame him easily just make sure to beware of other dinos
How to tame a tapejara:
1. If female pick up egg /male eat rare flower
2. Bola it
3. Shoot with sleep arrows or hit with fists
4. Feed it meat, prime meat, fish meat or prime fish meat.
(Tamed mine with meat and prime meat)
5. Enjoy your weird pterodactyl (tapejara lol)

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!
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... >:( :(
1 Like = 1 R.I.P. for Alluring Jr.
This reptile is like an improved version of Pteranodon its much better.
How to tame one in the easy way:
1. Find a tapejara and then Bola it. (it if it sees you it flies away so quickly bola it before it flies away.)(I recommend crafting more cuz u might miss)
2. Then knock it out with tranq arrows, toxicant arrows, Tranquilizer darts or shocking Tranquilizer darts.
3. Once you have knocked it out feed it any type of meat or allosaurus kibble. Also if the taming takes too long feed it narcotics or other stuff that increases its torpor.
4. Enjoy your Tapejara! :)
