Journey: Chapter 24
Coal, Bramble and Basil prepared for the journey to the Shadowmane tribe. They started packing what they could carry and all they would need for this journey. Bramble started with food while Basil was getting his things that he left, leaving Coal alone to pack what he might need.
As he did, Coal thought about what happened to his father. Grief hit him with such force at one point he couldn’t stand. He loved his father more than anything. Him and his father spent a lot of time talking and hanging out but as he grew up him and his family grew distant. He wished he spent more time with him. He wished he talk to him more. And he regretted a lot of the things he said and did.
Now he was Emperor of the Terror Bird Kingdom and he was ready, he was too young to be ruler, he was arrogant and a hothead to top it off. He didn’t want to be nor was he fit to be Emperor. Coal sighed as he got up, but he slipped on one of the things he meant to pack in his bag. He kicked it out of anger with his bad leg not thinking and causing his let to ring out with pain. Coal squawked in anger and he threw his sharp edged beak into the wall. He heard a cough from the other side of the room. Coal took his beak out and looked over to see Basil standing in the doorway.
“Are you okay?” Basil asked as he entered the room. Coal looked at him with solemnly.
“What am I suppose to say, peachy?” Coal said.
“I’m sorry that your father died, he seemed like a good man.” Basil said. Coal sighed
“He was… can we just get this over with. Go see if Bramble’s ready to go or not.” Coal said, Basil nodded as he left the room. Leaving Coal alone to remember what he could of his father. The good and bad times.

As night fell across Runheimr, and the three left Bramble’s borrow for the Shadowmane tribe. Coal had a difficult time keeping up with Bramble and Basil with bad leg. But he made due and was keeping his best up with the others. Howls could be heard throughout every part of the redwoods. The fenrirs had spread through the redwoods like a plague, probably hunting them down. Which made getting through Runheimr hard to take the quick paths to the tribe. They had to take the unconventional route around the coast. They needed to get out of the redwoods as fast as possible but it was difficult to do. Coal was getting tired of this, this wasn’t going to work. The fenrirs were everywhere and they both moving too slow and taking a route too long. Coal stopped mid track as they stood on the edge of the shore. Basil looked behind him and stopped after seeing Coal had stopped. Bramble stopped a few moments later.
“Coal, what are doing?” Bramble asked loudly.
“Quiet Bramble, do you want us to get captured.” Coal said sharply at Bramble, Bramble scoffed but remained silent. “This isn’t working, we wanted to find a place to hide, warn others and do something, quickly and safely. But with how many Fenrirs are in the redwoods, its not going to take long for us to get captured at this pace unless we change our plan. So were stuck.” Coal said, Bramble nodded, Basil looked at both of them.
“So that’s it? We aren’t going to do anything and just get captured. We aren’t going to warn the Shadowmane tribe?” Basil said, Coal shook his head.
“No, we are. We just have no way there without getting captured. We need another group that are in Runheimr that we can warn but can also warn the Shadowmane tribe without getting noticed something. We’re just stuck right now.” Coal said, Basil sat there for a moment thinking before his face perked.
“Well I have a plan B that we could possibly do.” Basil said, “Speak Basil, it’s okay.” Bramble said.
“Yeah, it’s not like we have any better options because I can’t think of any.” Coal said.
“Nor can I.” Bramble said.
“Well I know someone who was a major ally of the Five and he lives in Vardiland in place where it is highly protected. The one problem is, we have to find a Megachelon.” Basil said. The other two groaned at the sound of his plan.
I had been chasing a Tapejara in the Red Woods for hours and eventually lost sight of it. I wanted one to have a shot at taming a Quetzal. Later on I went to show my boyfriend where my base was and I had the luckiest find ever! A Tapejara had spawned stuck in a rock. Fortunately the rock was breakable too! So I tranqed it without it being able to escape and when it went down I broke the rock to free it. Luckiest Tapejara find ever!
One time I was flying around on my tapejar over redwood river when I saw a nother tapejara (I needed another because I only had one)in the air so I waited for it to land. I waited 2 nights before something happened I lost sight of it so I when Tom to the backseat and took out a torch ( I know stupid ) but I accidentally fell off of my tapejara and landed in water thankfully. But around me were two spino’s! That was the last I saw of my tapejara! Hopefully you enjoyed please up
I tried taming these guys five times. Two flew away and the two were killed by a Raptor or a dilpo. The third time it glitched underground and I was unable to access it. But when I did restart my game IT DIED. The closest I got to actually taming one got killed when I accidentally punched it to check it's inventory 💀💀💀
Why I cheated in ark
Today I finally tamed a tapejara after many failed attempts and after exploring and flying on it I decided to go to the snow biome. I flew over there and saw a big dinosaur that looked like a Rex (it was a carchar) and I tried to figure out what it was. Eventually I decided to get killed by it, see its name and quickly exit ark before it saved and load it up again before I died. So that is what i did. But when i loaded it up again turns out i saved when i died. So i had to get on my raft to go over there again. I was annoyed at this point so I decided to make this quick and bring my best dinos with saddles and load them onto my raft. I took my baryonx, my sarco, my raptor, and my tek parasaur (the only reason I brought my tek parasaur is because it can scan the area for enimies). It took me 30 minutes to get there because I live in between the red and green obelisks on a peninsula on the coast. When I got there I decided to take my dinosaurs one at a time. The first dinosaur that I took was my t e k parasaur. After avoiding all of the Hostile animals except for one Pig which jumped off of a mountain and died of fall damage I made it to where I died. I had to get off my parasaur and sneak to my Dead Body because the carchar was still near my dead body. I finally got all my items and all I had to do was get my tapajira and fly back to my raft and sail home. But unfortunately my tapajara was too far to hear my whistle so I could not get it down I tried to go on top of the mountain I was about to jump down but I didn't have any clothes on so I died of cold. I respond back in my raft and took my Raptor and try to find out where I died but for some reason the game glitched and it didn't show a death Beacon where I died I don't know if this is because I died of cold but either way there was no death Beacon. So I try to find my parasaur and then I will find my dead body but I couldn't find my parasaur either and I was about to die of cold again so as a last ditch effort I looked up cheat codes to see if I can get myself out of this situation. I got myself a fursuit but since it was night time it was so cold the first you didn't help so I turned on God mode made myself invisible to enemies and gave myself Max stats but even then I still couldn't find my dead body so I decided to turn off all the cheats feeling ashamed of what I did and I got chased the side of a mountain and I jumped off and landed in the water. Since I am level 60 and I live on a peninsula there's no good resources near me so I don't have anything that can pinpoint my location besides trying to mathematically figure out where I am on my map so I just go with my gut and I start swimming to the right turns out but my raft was to the left and I was swimming in the complete opposite direction. So I killed myself and respond on my raft because I built a giant house on my raft and I have a bed in there as well as a giant room for about four dinosaurs to fit in. So I decided enough is enough and I cheated in an assault rifle and chitin armor. But the armor wasn't keeping me warm enough and I didn't really want to cheat more armor in so I decided to cheat in tapajara and I would just be happy with that. But when I cheated again it had a t e k saddle and was level 220. So I decided to use it to fly up and go get my other tapajara so that's what I did. I flew over there I got my stuff back and I got my tapajara to follow me. As recompense for all the cheating that I did I decided to leave behind my parasaur and kill my Raptor with fall damage. And right now I am flying my tapajara home. 1 like equals 1 f for the two hours I spent trying to get my stuff and dinosaurs back.
Tldr: I lost all of my stuff on accident and cheated to get it back but I felt sorry and sacrificed two of my dinos to the ark Gods
One time I was on my raptor near spawn and I lost sight of a tapejara but later I was riding a spinosaurus that couldn’t kill a ptera and I shot a tapejara and like the first it flew away but I chased it with my spino and shot it with a tranq dart again and it snored to sleep I the killed a stego after having the tapejara taming 7.9% with raw meat and the I was giving it prime meat and it insta tamed
I have been searching for the annoying creatures for 2 whole years. I wanted to tame on in lockdown 2020 but I was like level 30 so I had to level up a lot. Finally got to level 60 then I got rlly busy and stopped playing til 2021. Tried again, they kept flying away. So I went to the artic, killed some penguins and went back. Stop playing for a good few months. Tried again. Knocked one out, THEN A DILO COMES A KILLS IT. Stopped playing bc of that traumatic experience. Tried again in 2022, THEN ALLOS COME AND KILL IT. But I am prepared this time, I’m bringing my sarco boi (who can kill anything) my pteranodon, a cross bow with arrows and tranqs, chitin armour, and I might bring my spino idk yet? 1000 spiked walls and an army of raptors. I will tame this thing.
I have been trying to tame this creature for a long time now ,I tried to tame it around 5 times and failed all so I thought I’ll take a break and tame something else , so I went to the red woods to tame a dire bear. After that I was returning to my base and I saw a tapi so quickly went to my base , got the supplies I needed and came back to where I saw it. I was just about to bola it but a raptor bit it so it ran , I thought I lost another opportunity but there was a cliff it hit that and could not escape, I thought that this was finally my chance so I threw a bola at it and to my surprise it did not work so I tried agin but this time the Tapi disappeared and then my game crashed, and I opened Dododex and started typing this(and can y’all give me some tips and how to knock it out).
I was looking for a tape for hours and found low lvl1 and i was tired so boaled it knocked it out gave it soothing balm and it was at 97.3% taming and then a f**king titanboa came and poison me the tapejara and i killed it and then as it tamed and was abt to tame another titanboa killeed it!!!!!! 😡😡😡😡 . So i killed him and his friends. Rip for my poor tapejara
