Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a tapejara? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a tapejara.
Hey guys they spawn near red not green dont let false information fool u.
You might wanna crouch before getting close to these bad boys. I'm new to the game and I heard these birds can do wonderous things so I tried to hunt for them but everytime I get close they fly away. I tried an air chase but I always lose them in the trees.
But you don't have to worry about me. I had all that trouble so you wouldn't. Crouch, Bola, Tranq and happy hunting.
Usually found pretty high up on mobile , so I suggest getting a quetz with pumped movement speed and a plat saddle to tame , sometimes found on the ground it's very rare.make sure to follow it on the way down!!
Bola them then eat a flower chain bola it then knock it out! 🤪
The only thing I have to knock these out is a wooden club,I tried it once I doesn’t works.I just take very less damage.
You can use RARE FLOWERS to lead it into a taming pen.
Best way imo to knock one of these is to eat some rare flowers so he will attack you instead of running away, either lure him into a trap or just bola it then shoot around 5 arrows, bola again and repeat til knocked
To trap it grab it with a megalosaurus before it flies away
Easy Tapejara tame. Eat a rare flower x2 then have your owl next to you mount the owl freeze the tapejara bola it and whip out the tranqs then put WOODEN Spikes around it and go get mutton then come back to your tape and tame it. I highly recommend you get a tapejara the have excellent flight control and decent base weight.
Taming a tape jar is going to be difficult because they easily get spooked. So I would carry some rare flowers and some bolas. And if you dont have rare flowers just have a ghillie suit and slowly crouch to it and quickly bola it and tranq it or hit it with a wooden club. And if dont have a ghillie just quickly run up to it and bola it. And have the amount of raw or any other meat the dododex says.
What an azzhole to tame!
This is one complicated flappy flap...
How to tame easily
1.Wear Ghillie armor (full set)
2.Craft a bola.
3.Drag Tranquilizer Arrows to a bow-and-arrow in your inventory.
4.Throw bola on Tapejara. If you scare the Tapejara by accident, throw a bola upwards at its torso as it tries to flee. It will fall back to the ground and become submissive to the taming process.
5.Knock it out with the tranquilizer arrows using your bow, and then offer it any type of meat you have available. Tapejaras, like most other carnivores, prefer prime meat regardless of whether it came from a fish or regular animal.
6.Keep watch over the Tapejara while he/she is asleep, and defend it from predators if needed. Have other tamed creatures help with this if you are too weak to fend off the threat alone, or a tribemate if taming the Tapejara on a multiplayer server.
7.If torpor becomes too low, feed the Tapejara sedatives such as narcoberries or biotoxin to keep it asleep. Narcoberries may need to be force-fed.
Hope this helps.
Go into creative mode and it’s even harder
To get a new tapejara
But it is worth it.
2 Times I found tapejaras rare spawn in my area on the map I’m playing both times bola then crossbow tranqs but they died really quick from the shots
Use tranq darts not tranq arrows
Isolate it and eat a rare flower to aggrieved, then bola and tranq for an easy tame.
Crossbow with grappling hook from a distance in case you spook it that way you can reel yourself in close and bola it with your hotkeys for a quick take down. Just make sure to throw another bola after 1 or 2 shots to keep it down.
Use rare flowers, the scent will Agro the tape to you. Making for an easy bola!
Eat rare flowers so it will aggro on you instead of fleeing, otherwise it will fly VERY high and is impossible to tame without a flying mount. If you need rare flowers raid casteroide dams. Put all tames on passive since it might try to attack your other tames after eating a rare flower
Just use rare flowers to make a follow you into a trap then knock it out
