What are tips for tapejara? Tips and strategies for tapejara in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
This is my favorite flying mount. It can literally fly in all directions(forward, backwards, left, right, up and down!!). It also has a threeseater saddle, and can even latch onto vertical surfaces. This makes it the most versatile and agile mount in the game in my opinion.
The tapejara is a versatile bird there for you need a bola to keep it still and then knock it out. They will fly away the second you get close this is why you need the bola
I got mine using a bola then two tranq arrows to the head
Ive found that if you can get it between you and a cliff or mountain it tends to get stuck on the rocks when it flys away. Few shots with tranq darts its down
Best not to go alone when taming. The Tapejara Flys 3x the height of a Phteredon normally so you are more likely to find this one at higher altitudes. If possible use Chain Bola on the back of a Quetzal, DO NOT GET CLOSE, although they have very little stamina and speed when tamed, but hardly ever need to land when wild. Best thing to do is to scare it closer to your base then tranq it. If you don't have anyone else, using a parachute and a high lvl crossbow will be necessary. Jump off your bird of choice then use parachute, whistle follow and begin to get close as possible. Shoot ahead of the Bird right after it turns. When it lands DO NOT STARVE TAME. Its too hard to feed the prime meat it needs. Put raw asap unless Allosaurus kibble is at hand. Keep a close eye on it, use spike walls and a door to close off from any predators due to low health, Good luck Taming!
To knock out throw a bolla get them on the ground and use tranq darts or electric prods of possible allows a faster knock out for the bollas. Other ways is ride as a passenger on a high movement speed argie and shoot as you chase it.
Easy mode: eat rare flowers and kite Jara to a safe location (high map boundaries etc somewhere flat and no Dino’s) bola then tranq no need for spikes or taming huts easy tame and you have a great defensive view with no surprise angles. Works in pvp and pve
If you attempt to try my way don’t let the creature eat anything while it’s awake(keep them from their food Source) or just knock it out immediately after waking. Good luck
It's so simple to tame these Tapejara. Just throw one bola, tranq it with 10 tranq arrows and feed them with fish meat and raw meat.
It's not that hard to tame them
@Mercenarious9
0 outa 10 don't recommend taming this, even a pterdedon is better
To tame a tape make a griffin cage an a qestul then catch a tape in it then take in to ground nok it out poot kibble in it then take it home it will get shot by turret then repeat proses
You won't be able to see them near beaches, there mostly in places with a big amount of trees or the opposite, theres no trees
Have a good quetzal or griffin or any flyer you can shoot off and don’t KO over a swamp
Great for Chase with your wander aggressive Rex in your base. I have all my tames on wander agressive in my base and the Rex was about to grab the dodo from my foot when all of a sudden a dodo came flying off a building and took the dodo and killed it. Hallelujah for yeeyee lol
Add 1 extra for cooked lamb taming
Build a little base and lure it in using rare flowers so it'll follow you then trap it and put your dino in a cryopod
I found one in the raised area between south one and west one, 2 bolos and 3 tranq arrows later, it was unconscious, wait 10 seconds between shots in order to Kerri its health up, then kill a death chicken to get meat to tame it, mine died but 10 out of 10 for flying with friends
