Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a tapejara? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a tapejara.
You would think they would wake up extremely fast due to their skittish nature and excellent speed but NO, a level 30 takes 45 minutes to wake up, like wtf Wildcard Studios?
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.
I recommend you set a trap, Tapejara won't let anyone get close. (I'm Brazilian so I apologize if there's an error in English)
A raptor killed it while taming so i put a bullet in his head and made an EXAMPLE TO HIS BROTHERS
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
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
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.
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)

Do not leave it uprotected it has extremely low health after you knock it out.
ARRRRRRRGH I just had THE WORST taming experience! Pro tip: DON'T try taming a high level one by dangling from an argy by a grappling hook... You'll end up dying TWICE and losing your argy, guns, and 80 narcotics... >:( :(

Hey Do you think its fair that I spent 3 Hours taming one of these Then got kicked from the tribe and didn’t even get to keep the Tape? Acctual Tip: Bola then tranq it. Super easy
Since the new update, rare flowers make dinos aggro on to you, you can use this on a tapejara and it will follow you to a trap you've built. Just remember that each flower gives only 10 seconds of that debuff so if the bird is far away from your trap, you have to use it frequently while coming back. Also, if you need it to follow you after you've gotten off your dino, you need to eat another rare flower so that it can agro on to you once again.
Ghillie suit and you should be able to slowly walk right up to it. Hit with a bola and tranq arrow or tranq dart it to the face. Easy down if you use ghillie suit and a bola.
You can eat rare mushrooms or rare flowers to anger these things
You can cheese them by going out of render after shooting them with your tranq of choice. They become calm again after going out of render so this trick makes them pretty easy. Rinse and repeat and you have yourself a tape. (Have not tested on anything besides mobile. Good luck!)
Ok i recommend wearing a gillie suit so it wont fly away then bola it then shoot it with tranq darts then is knocked out then feed it raw prime meat and boom! You tamed it!
If you go near them they run away
They live near the metal mountains
Rare flowers, bolas and a tank mount like an argy then tranquilise and tame
