More Tapejara Taming & KO Tips
Its very easy to tame this thing, the hard thing is finding one of these, but when you find it make sure there are no dangerous wild dinos around because they might kill you, to tame it, slowly approach with a bola and when it looks like it will fly away, BOLA IT so it doesnt fly away and just shoot it with tranq arrows or anything that makes it unconcious,
His saddle has 2 extra seats and the passengers can shoot while flying.
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
No bolo and sneaking necessarily..just have a good owl or flyer with a lot of stamina..when you spot the one you want wait for it to land, keep your distance and make sure itโs back is to you, one or two good head shots with a longneck and tranqs you are good to go.
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
Note if ur mobile don't use rare flowers they won't aggro
Up for noobs to see
These guys are a tricky bunch. Theyโre the pterosaur equivalent of butterflies: theyโre 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 youโre 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 โBye-bye!โ 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 youโll find that landing your shots during the chase is especially difficult, not to mention lacking a flyer is exactly why youโd 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, Iโd say eventually setting foot over there is something of a rite of passage anyway.
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.
Do not leave it uprotected it has extremely low health after you knock it out.
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)
