Encountering Tips
How do I kill a tapejara? tapejara battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
If you see one make sure you tame I found 1 in a island server and was killed because it was a PvP server and the person left it for me as it was a "rare find" and they already had one
I found a Tapajera while looking for an Equus, these things are hard to tame and knock out. I decided to try to tame and I threw a bola at him and he was trapped. I slowly started beating to Knock out with a club because at the time I was a noob and didn’t have tranq arrows just yet. It started losing health really quickly and I was confused why. Sadly, he died due to 3 Dilo’s. 1 like = one prayer for the tapajera
my 1st/2nd time taming this i was so bad i had to rush it with ascendant longneck rifle
I know this isn’t a tip but i found like two Tapejaras near the redwoods and they just ran away before I could even try to get my bola out any tips on this would be very useful
Always spawn on the Island near Green Ob, and near to Red Ob. Use bola, and full gillie suit to approach. Make sure you are crouching when you approach one. I've had Taps on official and unofficial. Great multi purpose tame for tribes. Not so good for solo players unless you get the tek engram for the saddle
I have just found a level 95 tape but people should know when you agro it it stays in the sky for a while and just so you know mobile players always have tranqs and a sleeping bag with you… If you sleep in the bag then the dinos food will go down to zero so if you do this have the food on you already!!!
I finally saw one tapejara which is resting on the ground , bola it , trand arrow it , suddenly a carno come out of nowhere and locked and killed the tapejara .I am sure I check the surroundings and this carno came out of nowhere :(
Tip do not mount it after you get attacked by a titanaboe because I did and I lost my tapyjara and then I found but not t died to a level 147 spino one up =one rip for yappu
I've noticed that these birds can be found easier flying at rather high altitudes above the north island.
Good for raiding with gek saddle
These spawn rarely in areas that enter the swamps like the South and also in the redwoods and NorthEast And west I usually find em in the southern isles swamps boundary And their spawn zone is also a raptor spawn zone so uhh
You know what? This is actually a Tupandactylus. Its crest is not actually a crest, but the same material as Its wings. Tapejara didn’t have that.
These things can fly backwards which aren’t common in flying mounts. Use it to your advantage and juke other flyers
I tend to find them alot in the red obelisk side of the red woods maybe this will help..?
Once on high top or they run regardless of rare flower or not... (Yes this is from experience) Knock them out while they are bolaed to prevent this
The Tapejara in the picture is actually my cousin, Jerry, doing his weird stunts.
-Tappie the Tapejara
These are great on solo my faveroute way of traveling the island
I always find at least three flying around and landing at the hidden lake
I actually find it hard and sad to kill some tappy just for a tropeonagthus that is a decent level to spawn.
I be seeing this so much not knowing what is was is this rare I saw like 3 in one day
