Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a tapejara? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a tapejara.
This dino is a really good flyer and u should get one at lvl 55. one choice to take it is by using a gillie suit and crouch close enough for bola range. Second is eating a rare flower then bola :)
Taps are easy to tame but the pain in doing this is if u get to close they will get scared and they ARE VERY FAST.And once u scared one it will take FOREVER for them to land so the only choice u have is charge at it with a bola.DONT.MISS.But besides being a scaredy bird.They are nice tames bola and tranc.Easy.They also latch on to trees and rocks.Aleo in passenger mode (on the tapes saddle) u can use weapons on it.
These guys are inherently shy and will fly away if you get too close for their comfort, which is their primary reaction for fear of entering a fight. However, this can be combatted in two ways: The first is to equip ghillie armor and bring a bola. You can get even closer to them using ghillie armor than other armors, so get close enough to be able to successfully hit them with the bola. But don’t get too close or you’ll still scare them regardless of the ghillie armor anyway. If ghillie armor is not available to you at the moment for some reason, then when a Tapejara lands, charge at it with your bola swinging until your hugging it’s wing. When it gets scared and flinches, immediately throw the bola and then knock it out. Feed it whatever meat you have after this for a while and it will start to trust you and eventually it will even love you enough so-as to be fully tamed.
Hopefully this helps anyone who wants a Tapejara in their animal tribe.
Get it stuck in a raft and you will easily be able to tame it
Go to extinction into the city area. Bola the Tapejara. Place stone gates around five or four stone gates with gateways with just small gaps in between the gate. You place this down fast. You can tranq it or club it.
Genesis doesnt let you fly these when you tame them. I have one and it says that flying mount disabled and theres nothing in settings or anywhere to fix this.
Warning they get higher the more you scare them, I learned the hard way
We all knows who this guy is, the great Toruk Makto, catch him and feel it while flying, so beautiful.
And make sure that it doesn’t eat anything when you wake up
It will ruin it! Especially if it was a spino
Make sure you put defense around it I didn't the first time and a silo killed it right before it got tamed
Was on the center map today and found a level 106 tapejara and jumped off of argentavis quick and when she reared up bolaed her and tranqed her
Shes now a level 112 with 500 movement speed
So i dont know if this only happens to me but i would say that they are most common around the green obelisk. I’ve seen up to 5 at a time at the green obelisk.
Use rare flowers to kite it into a trap.
Lure dis dude in forest and get him trapped so you can tranq him
Some how, as a level 28 noob was able to tame and find my Tapejara very easily. I found it close to the ground it to stuck in some rocks so i just threw a bola at it and started knocking it out. Amazing mount btw, can easily snipe anything (with or without another rider). Definitely put points into stamina, speed, and health though.
If you find one, get a flyer, lead him down some rocks, then if he’s stupid enough, get a bola to secure him, and then knock out. Use a soothing balm if you’re worried.
Eat rare flowers and bait it into a trap, best way 100%
credit to my friend for this idea- RARE FLOWERS. Get on a flying mount and eat rare flowers to get it to chase you into a trap. makes taming these little pricks a thousand times easier (though still a bit tricky)
Best way to take is eat rare flowers so it follows you and lead into a trap, but wear armor so it won’t kill you
