How do I tame a tapejara? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a tapejara.
How to tame
1. Find one
2.have a flying mount so you can chase it
3.approached it while swinging bola when it looks like it’s about to fly it takes a second for it to launch up throw the bola shoot it once or twice in the head and then feed it preferably prime I recommend killing stegos or sarcos for prime meat and then about 10 narcotics the high the level the more these amount change

I am currently taming a tapejara and I used the stat calculator is that only for wild Dino’s cause I haven’t tamed it yet so it is a wild idk what’s happening
You can tame these by carrying your friend on a pteranodon preferably with some nice levels into speed (if you have that option turned on ofc) then proceed to have your friend shoot it with your best taming weapon while you chase the tappy down until it is knocked out
All these people talking about gillie suits and bolas when I just found one it was running into a wall of someones base and it got stuck and I just shot it.. it almost does to dilos tho lol
If you don’t have ghille, and he best way to bola it is from above. Just wait for it land next to a ledge, climb up, and hit with the bola. I tamed a level 55 this way.
Super easy to tame bola it and knock it out with a club
Use a bola and knock it out there realy fast
It runs if you get to close so bola or something

Rare flowers! If it starts to flee, eat a rare flowers and it will start attacking you. Just bola/tranq it while it's attacking. Make sure be careful of other Dino's in the area!
When you are low lvl, maybe try standing behind it and stand back, then release a tranq arrow or dart. It should knock out fast. I have tamed two myself. My dad tried to tame one the other day..he failed so bad..XD And it was a lvl 135
Not sure why, but chain bolas don’t work on tapejaras, at least for me. I had a paracer with a platform saddle and a turret, which is what I shot the tapejara with a chain bola with. I’m playing on Xbox. Does anybody know why this is happening?
I found a male lvl 140 and decided to tame it just follow it and shoot its head and then feeding it prime meat from stegos and paracer cause it falled near a swamp (if you play on mobile if he is not in your render distance there is nothing that can kill it)
On Crystal isles they can bug into the rocks so you can easlily tranq them.
If u mess up and now it's in the air I got u.u should get a pteranadon with good stam so u can fly up to it then eat a rare flower so it chases u then u bring it to the ground and bola it while it's on u tame.plus u need a full gillie suit to get close to it or bola range.the level for the saddle is 55.u will need about 50 metal,300 hide,200fiber,40 wood.thats mostly all the materials.u can find them near south zone 2 at the swamp area.to tranq it out you will need a rifle and tranq darts.a crossbow and tranq arrows will also do good (slingshots and bows won't work I think). Goodluck
Seriously don't get distracted when taming. I was taming one and was bored so I decided to hassle a nearby diplodocus. My argentavis was trying to help but it killed the tapejara. Just focus on taming please unless you feel like crying.
There's 2 ways to tame this use rare flower to lure to a safe place bola and then use tranqs or no scope it with a 720 bola shot behind the back with full ghillie (I suggest the first one)
The tapejara can spawn around green tower, the easiest way I have found to tame them is when you see them start spinning the bola and run as close as you can and throw it as they lift up their wings. It's an easy tame from there just build a spike wall to be safe because they have low health.
If you have a quetz use it to knock one out the tapajeras are so annoying to find so get a quetz and a platform saddle then whenever you get close go up above the tapajera then shoot it with your desired tranqs they are so fast so it’s a little hard to catch them and they never land but a great tame nonetheless three seater fast can fly backwards and in all directions not very good for stamina and weight when tamed so put stats into those two. Do weight first then stamina.
Dont tame it far of the base cause i always forgot atleast one thing to tame it sooooooooooo try to lure it to your base
