How do I kill a tapejara? tapejara battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I just found one and knocked it out, I’m not that good but the Color’s are sick! It’s Black, Gold and dark green
You all say it is so hard to get one but I found a lvl 1 near spawn on like day 40 and it took like one tranq to the face and like twenty meat.
Don't make your tapejara fight a super turkey I tried and had a few more dinos two the all died.
They also Spond near beaches near raptors Spawn and Cano spawn
These flee too fast for their own good, sometimes ending up in more dangerous places.
You cannot be picky about the colour or level of it.they are hard to catch so you have to go with what you get and if you're lucky it'll be one you want
im on easy so this is rare
so im looking for one to tame and i find a LEVEL 22 TAPEJARA(its is very hard to find lvl 20 anything in easy)so i got my bola, knocked it out by sussily licking him with a frog. i called him of(if u get it ) cus i licked it to tame it
Wild Tapejaras are almost as fast as pteranodons if you startle them.
I found a lvl 70 and a 125 ( For me 150 is max ) near (kind of) the green Obelisk, as you come from the south where the river splits in 2, to the left is the swamp, go to the right until it splits again, that's where I found my 125, Also near the hill with a decent amount of metal on it to the south of the redwoods and swamp pretty much on the middle line I think, that's where I find them often
Just make a stone dino pin like a 5 by 5 with a small dino gate find the tapejera you want and eat rare flowers and itll agro you youll need a strong flyer because other dino might agro you as well
If you didn’t know, the second attack of the tapejara (the one where it stands up on 2 feet and roars) is actually a very useful pvp attack, if anyone is trying to pick you with a pt just do that attack right before they pick you and you won’t get picked.
Also the easiest way to tame this thing if it’s in the sky is to lead to the the volcano, if you lead it close enough it will land on one of the cliffs and then you can bola it and tranq it, these animals have low torpor like the pt so it shouldn’t take you much darts
If you already have a tape, and you’re flying and running low on stamina, switch to the passenger seat and it will regain stam!
On Ragnorok they spawn by desert waterfall and all the way down the ravine up to wyvern cove
You don't need a gillie suit if your fast and have a bola at hand. I tamed one very easily with tranq arrows.
If you found it and have no bola, please dont go back to your base to make some. Get the resources needed nearby because if you go far enough it will probably despawn or fly away.
I have seen so many of these and I really wanted to tame one, but of course once I got to a high enough level, they all disappeared.
They are more commenly found in the south side of the island map but do be carful you will fined lots of rapters there and trust me I know
If your server is a well populated good luck finding a higher lvl. We usually run about 45+ players so the only time you can really tame anything is early in the morning. So finding these are next to impossible.
75 latitude and 15 longitude is where I live on the island map and I keep on finding them around there after I lived there for a while.
Bola it at at least 3 Meyers away use Gilli suit or get closer and bola it, it should take 1 or 2 tranqs to the head and up to 6 on the body depard on its level and your longnecks level.
