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.

Ragebait it with a flower then tranq it before it flies away (it loses interest after a while). Useful for getting a quetz, and I think it also has potential at getting a titanosaur (with help from a friend with a rocket launcher). Also has a tech saddle. They’re a nice in…

If you want a thing that can carry a bunch of things but you don’t have the saddle for argy then just get this thing it’s a lower level saddle and it can carry about as much as a argy

Up if useful (or helpful)

You can switch to the passanger seat (front one) and direct it to go on water, it will start flying and you can now direct it to the sky and it wont even use stamina and you can shoot! Up so other can see :)

Use rare flower to lure it into a trap.

Used rare flower while flying the pteradon, landed the pteradon in a safe place and dismounted..it was aggro at the other bird..then bola and tranq..easy tame.

Have pesky ichyornises? Get on the tape's passenger seat then whistle attack then the ichyornes and it can't steal from you

sorry for bad grammar

Silly survivor

If you're taming they do a thing where if they get high enough they wont come back down. Ever.

If u spook it and it starts flying up, u better shoot it and get another to spawn in faster because they WILL NOT land ever again ( they probably will land sometime but when I first started out I punched one of these to try and kill it and to this day I still see it in the sky)

If you’re running low on stamina, just switch seats for a little bit then it recharges stamina.

Just hop on a flyer and eat rare flowers to keep it aggro at you and then fly it into a trap. Close the door behind it. Ezpz

These have got to be my favourite dino on ark:

1. They are decently fast flyers

2. They cling to vertical surfaces (great for all most any part of the maps)

3. They have a tec saddle

4. They can move in any direction

5. They can hold multiple passengers (4 including…

It was pure luck taming my Tapejara. I was running along on my newly tamed raptor and there was this beautiful black and bronze Tapejara flying into two trees going nowhere.. so I just got off my raptor, shot it with some trank arrows and the rest is history.. her name it Lucky.

I found this very helpful. You can get it at a fairly low level. The best part is, it never has to land! When the stamina gets low when flying, switch to the front or back seat, wait 15 seconds, and the stamina will be full again! This makes taming a lot of creatures…

They tend to spawn around the green tower on island but all you need is a couple Bola's a few tranc arrows and be careful of all the rapers and snakes

Use rare flowers to get it out of the sky, then bola and tranq it. Works like a charm every time.

TIPP:

Don't jump on them while they are knocked otherwise you will get stuck in their neck. I know sounds stupid but happened to me twice!

This guys can fly sideways, and you can shoot stuff while clinging to walls. Pteranodon who?

This is the ultimate taming/hunting flier

It has good weight and no need to upgrade stamina I'll tell that later here is a compilation of it's benefits;

1: while airborne when you switch to a passenger seat it

will regenerate stamina while airborne but if…
