Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a tapejara? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a tapejara.
Try to tame a higher level than 20 so you can survive being hit by a wyvern if they sneak up on you
Wait for it to go close to ground or even land and then throw a bola and use tranq darts to avoid killing them
Use a rare mushroom to agro it, they don't do that much damage
Guys just a tip: don’t try to tame a tapejara on the side of the volcano. I passed hours just to reach him with my argie because he kept escaping while I kept sliding and dying for fall damage
You only need 4 raw prime meat to tame this puppy.
How to tame a pesky tapejara that causes ragequits.
First some facts:
Flowers don’t aggro in mobile
They flee if u get close
They can be easily found near red and green obelisks.
Material: tens or hundreds to tranqs. Bring extra in case u encounter another good tame like max level anky or something like that.
Bola in method 2.
Traps if u want to use rare flower in PC, not necessary.
Method 1:
1. Prepare loads of rare flowers from beaver dams.
2. Eat one near a tapejara.
3. Keep eating once in a while and lead it to a trap or bola it on land.
Method 2:
1. Wait for it 2 land.
2. From a distance, bola it.
Method 3 improvised:
If u have a good tranq weapon u can use its low torpor drain.
Shoot it and wait for it to unrender then repeat. Don’t do it with normal weapons it takes forever.
Tranq it out and watch its health. Protect if from everything and anything bc dilos like to eat tape meat.
Utility:
Flies to left, right or back.
Set on follow and have a flying taming pillar plus nonstop flyer!
Has same damage as pt.
Can carry passengers who wield weapons.
Perches on redwood trees and cliffs!
Makes good quetz tamer and Rex/bronto tamer too!
Don’t get roared to the ground. Tame a high level to prevent this!
Enjoy your tapejara!
I saw one of these in the woods while I was a little way off collecting stones. They weren't any bolas on me so I ride to the house, take some and raw prime meat, get on my ptranodon and fly to the area. The Tapj disappeared and I accidentally ran out of stamina and landed.
I landed on totanomirma's nest and compy puck. Lost me petranodon.
Moral of the story: take an arg, not a ptranodon. The search can take a long time and even safe places can be dangers. Those things disappear fast, really fast, so I'd u should lose I sight u batter give up.
For those who play ark mobile to tame one bola it from behind or bola it from far away and one tranq dart to the head knocks it out then put in your food of choice and I hope you enjoy your new friend.
not me taming one rn 👀
👄
These are not to be under estimated in pvp if you have the tek saddle that is because theses are the ark equivalents of a ww2 spitfire deadly if used right that is. the after the trophios release if that’s how you spell it was not used nearly as much in aerial pvp in my experience so don’t judge if you have a different experience but it is still a very deadly creature and if multiple of these are pared with trophios you can make you own squadron of fighter flyers. So hope this tip makes you use and respect the tape more. This is A.L.N.A and until next time enjoy the game.
I took my Teradactal put it on follow medium, flew above the Tapejera and jumped of end equipped a perehuit and then abola it and then resaddle my bird and fly down but the aim is alot off so you have to adjust
Guys this is the same taming process as the ptera
Why is everyone struggling so much? I just got mine with a club and bola
This one is easy to tame but there are a liitle bit hard to find they are good tames if you want to tame quetzal first thing you need to tame tapejara are bola just start to use the bola far from it then run towards the tapejara then shot the bola make sure the bola will land on the tapejara then use traq darts attack it on the head wait to unconcios then feed it meat wait to tame then howala you now have a tapejara things i like about tapejara are you can bring 2 other person to have a ride so if you have friends you wont feel alone riding it but if your a solo player you can use the other 2 seats to tame quetzal
These guys are like an improved version of the pteranodon so if you find one and don't have one tame it!
Use a tapejara to tame it it works really good!
The easiest way to knock one of these guys out is build a gate trap (wooden will do) eat a rare flower and lead it in, put a gate behind, then bola for easy knockout.
This shithead took me 2 week to find and it got killed by spino
Pretty easy to tame, grab a bola, if u don’t have a friend then wait for tpjera to land, then the fun part make sure you have at least 1/10 arrows depending on the level, ok equip bola and run up as close as you can, yeet bola from close range, then turn it into pincushion until it knocks out.
It likes allo kibble but the cheaper budget goes for prime, no need for defense just keep an eye out for would be predators, only carnivore that won’t attack if (unless I got lucky) is the Rex, the predators that will most likely try to ruin ur day, will be rapters, dilos, gigas, direwolfs, compys, make sure you have a decent weapon or plan to eithor lure them away, or dispatch them, (or tame them)! Up if helpful 🫠👍
Tamed mine w/ two tranq arrows, my handy sarco and direwolf named Woof (for defense), and the wonderful miracle of it being level four so just shooting twice made it have 340 something health. You be like: you forgot bola in list of tamed mine with. I used NO BOLA NO GILLIE SUIT hopefully my tapejara is safe, also breeding bronto. Aaaaannnyyyyways, also meat: lots of it, like a stack (40) or more. Also starve tame. ALSO BIOTOXIN. HOPE IT HELPS
