Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a tapejara? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a tapejara.
The easiest way to tame it is to use rare flower near it and fly into a trap u made
One thing that you could do (if your desperate) is build a tiny wood cage just big enough to fit a tapejera. Once you’ve done that find a good tapejera and eat a bunch of rare flowers. It will start to attack you (Make sure that your flying on a pteradon with good health(otherwise ground creatures will attack you)) then fly into the cage and shut the door and KO that thing.
Crouch towards it until your sure you can get it with your Bola (about two foundations) or it runs away. If you did get it in your Bola trank it with headshots. If it ran away use rare flowers to lead it somewhere safe and repeat the process. Also you might die from the tapejara.
Warning!!
The kibble is off, at least when the Dex is set to 2x!
It is affected by rare flowers, so agro it with rare flowers and lure it into your taming cage.
I just looked around until I found a egg from a tapejara then fly to base it will attack me cause I took the egg that’s why you should use another flyer
a other flyer make sure its safe then bola use tranq arrows it will fall in your base and tame it sorry I haven’t tamed one yet
Literally everywhere on extincion in the sanctuary
On mobile rare flowers don’t agro anything
If you have the revive platform, then just kill it and get her/his green glowing thing.
Build big room, then put the revive platform inside, then revive it, then tranquilize it and last step tame it
So I think I have a good idea to tame one of these:
1) Find your desired Tapejara (Wow, who would've guessed that step)
2) Eat a rare flower to get it to chase after you (Clear out the area if you don't want to deal with other creatures)
3) Use a harpoon gun with a net projectile to trap it and stop it from moving
4) Build a trap (anything you want) around it before it escapes (You have a minute so you should have enough time)
5) Knock out and tame your new best friend :)
You have to be pretty fast to do this you have to run
Up to it and quickly bola it and then tranq it
Don't get too close, they'll fly away and chasing them won't work, ya gotta sneak up, i recommend ghillie
I tamed my tape with one shot from asc bow and some prime no bolas flying creatures traps or the like
Genesis 2 has the net projectile. Shoot the Tapejara with the net projectile. Tranq out. The net projectile works on land and air Dinos, even when they are flying.
No net projectile? Eat rare flowers while on top of a tame set to passive. The Tapejara will attack you and the tame, jump off the tame and the Tape will continue to peck the tame. Now aim for the Tapejara and bola it. Now knock it out.
I one shot ko with asc bow it was ez
Once it is KO’d, build spike walls around it so that things like raptors and compys can’t eat it, as they have extremely low health after being knocked out. Keep in mind this will not always work, because some creatures, such as troodons can leap, meaning you should still keep an eye on it. I learned that the hard way. A got rid of the troodon with on 8.1 health left on my tapejara. I did manage to get him tamed up though!

They are a really good flying dinosaur because it can hold up to 3 people on it witch is really good if you want to have your friends shooting off the back of it it’s also good for taming other dinosaurs if you have friends shooting at that dinosaur you’re trying to tame really good In my opinion 😀😀😀
You can find these in the redwoods but it makes for a tough tame. Southeast isles on the river banks they are common and will often land.
(In mobile) If you encounter high level tapezara make sure you brought food enough to tame. If you knock out and ran out of food and go back home to get food and get back, you'll regret it afterwards.
