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.
It is good for pvp because it can move in all directions and is decently fast plus three seat saddle allows you to have 3 guns. They have low attack however so they aren't perfect(keep them away from rhynios at all costs
People completely forgot about the tapejara… you can tame pretty much any ko tame from the back of this thing. It has 2 passenger seats on the saddle, meaning that you can hover in the air on it while shooting tranqs at what you wanna tame
I found three of them near red obelisk on the island for anyone who can't find one
I did not know this, but u can’t use weapons in driver seat. Only passenger
Where are they in the center? I’m trying to practice stuff but I can’t find any
Tapejara is the only flyer that can fly forward and backward, as well as side to side.
Just sayin
I once found a helpful glitch with the Tapejara. I was solo taming a quetzal, when I discovered that if you change to a passenger seat and reload your gun, the Tapejara’s stamina automatically refills. I know it works on mobile with the Tapejara, but I don’t know if it…
I once found a helpful glitch with the Tapejara. I was solo taming a quetzal, when I discovered that if you change to a passenger seat and reload your gun, the Tapejara’s stamina automatically refills. I know it works on mobile with the Tapejara, but I don’t know if it works on other editions or on other dinos.
If it fets a way and flies too high, you better of leaving it as it wont land for quite awhile.
If your in ark mobile, and you have access to potent dust and dodo feathers, craft some dodo arrows and shoot the particular tapejara your looking for with the dodo arrow to activate agro on it and lure them. If your in normal ark (pc, ps4 or xbox) use rare flowers to lure it…

I cannot find your tip to thank you, but advice to just kill then revive at platform was just what i needed after stalking and bolo'ing and trying unsuccessfully to trap or KO. Granted it took 26 amber for level 210, it was totally worth it, thanks to you!
Found one in Weathertop every playthrough. Just bola and knock out to tame. Pretty rare, but an amazing tame of what I've heard. Skittish, so I haven't tamed one yet. Hope this helps.
You would think they would wake up extremely fast due to their skittish nature and excellent speed but NO, a level 30 takes 45 minutes to wake up, like wtf Wildcard Studios?
So to tame mine I actually didn't have a ghillie armor so I just landed my argy at like 2 meters of the tapejara, waited for it to land, then winded up my bola and ran at him lol

Then, I threw it on the tapejara and knocked it out with a tranq dart. Finally, I saw a diplo near it and killed it to get prime meat, gave it to the tapejara and boom tamed :)
Sorry if my english is bad lol

These guys are a tricky bunch. They’re the pterosaur equivalent of butterflies: they’re pretty to look at, come in a variety of colors, and are friendly towards nearby wild dinos but DEATHLY AFRAID of us silly hoomans. Therefore, there is some amount of preparation to be taken when taming one, especially depending on where it is.
Now, you may think you can tame them without the ghillie suit, and it is possible. However, the timing on throwing the bola at that point becomes EXTREMELY STRICT. If you’re even a half-second incorrect in the timing of your throw, or if your throw is even slightly awkward, then you can just go ahead and say “Bye-bye!” to that taming opportunity in particular unless you have another flyer you can use to knock it back out of the sky, and even then you’ll find that landing your shots during the chase is especially difficult, not to mention lacking a flyer is exactly why you’d even want to flock to these guys in the first place.
Therefore, while not an absolute requirement, the ghillie suit is still preferrable when going after these guys. It may be a pain to go to the snow region initially and have to race back out of there before you die to the cold or to a wolfpack, but considering the pursuits for the Obelisks, I’d say eventually setting foot over there is something of a rite of passage anyway.
Can you bola it mid air (like what happens if the bola hits it flying or mid air)
Up if yes and down if no
Once tamed you can get a buddy to fly on the it with you which makes it so much easier to knock out big dinosaurs like rexes and brontos. All you have to do is fly above it and let ur tribe mate shoot darts
You should be really careful, as a frightened Tapejara will always try to escape your render-range, and will always end up very high if a Bola is not administered.
If you are a noob, run up and bola it. Shoot it with a couple Narco arrows with a crossbow and then wait for the torpor to do the job. I tamed mine by the beach and I love it!
They spawn near mountains
