When sprinting (fleeing) they’re the fastest dinosaur in ark

Have pesky ichyornises? Get on the tape's passenger seat then whistle attack then the ichyornes and it can't steal from you

sorry for bad grammar

Silly survivor

If you're taming they do a thing where if they get high enough they wont come back down. Ever.

Just hop on a flyer and eat rare flowers to keep it aggro at you and then fly it into a trap. Close the door behind it. Ezpz

Found one in Weathertop every playthrough. Just bola and knock out to tame. Pretty rare, but an amazing tame of what I've heard. Skittish, so I haven't tamed one yet. Hope this helps.

Ok i recommend wearing a gillie suit so it wont fly away then bola it then shoot it with tranq darts then is knocked out then feed it raw prime meat and boom! You tamed it!

They tend to spawn around the green tower on island but all you need is a couple Bola's a few tranc arrows and be careful of all the rapers and snakes

It was pure luck taming my Tapejara. I was running along on my newly tamed raptor and there was this beautiful black and bronze Tapejara flying into two trees going nowhere.. so I just got off my raptor, shot it with some trank arrows and the rest is history.. her name it Lucky.

Use rare flowers to get it out of the sky, then bola and tranq it. Works like a charm every time.

These guys are a tricky bunch. They’re the pterosaur equivalent of butterflies: they’re pretty to look at, come in a variety of colors, and are friendly towards nearby wild dinos but DEATHLY AFRAID of us silly hoomans. Therefore, there is some amount of preparation to be taken when taming one, especially depending on where it is.

Now, you may think you can tame them without the ghillie suit, and it is possible. However, the timing on throwing the bola at that point becomes EXTREMELY STRICT. If you’re even a half-second incorrect in the timing of your throw, or if your throw is even slightly awkward, then you can just go ahead and say “Bye-bye!” to that taming opportunity in particular unless you have another flyer you can use to knock it back out of the sky, and even then you’ll find that landing your shots during the chase is especially difficult, not to mention lacking a flyer is exactly why you’d even want to flock to these guys in the first place.

Therefore, while not an absolute requirement, the ghillie suit is still preferrable when going after these guys. It may be a pain to go to the snow region initially and have to race back out of there before you die to the cold or to a wolfpack, but considering the pursuits for the Obelisks, I’d say eventually setting foot over there is something of a rite of passage anyway.

If you spot one keep your distance and wait till it lands hop in your gilly and creep like seal team 6 bola from the back and trank with whatever you got. I surrounded mine with spike straps, then starved till you can see the bone on his food meeter while your waiting for that try and get all the best meat 🍖 you can find. Then enjoy the wind in your beard. Named mine Hawk happy hunting folks.

In order to tame one just use a rare flower near it and it will aggro on you while it aggros on you just bola it and then pump it full with tranqs

Don’t try to chase it just waste time it’s to fast.

If you try to bola the Tapejara but miss, it’ll fly into the skies... and will stay in the skies! Bring Rare Flowers before trying to tame one just in case.

The way I tame Tapejaras is I bola it, and then I build a row of 5 Dino Gateways with gaps in between over the Tapejara, and then I close off the entrances with Dino Gates. Then, I’ll tranq it out.

If I miss the bola and the Tapejara takes off, then I’ll build the trap anyways, and leave the doors open. Then, I’ll fly up to the Tapejara, eat a rare flower, and lure the now aggressive Tapejara into the trap. I’ll dismount my flier (and leave my flier in the trap), quickly exit the trap and close the doors, and then wait for the Tapejara to stop attacking my mount. Then I’ll knock out the Tapejara.

These are the easiest methods I know of to tame a Tapejara. I hope this helps!

You would think they would wake up extremely fast due to their skittish nature and excellent speed but NO, a level 30 takes 45 minutes to wake up, like wtf Wildcard Studios?

Get a scorpion

Ride the scorpion up to the tape when it’s landed

The tape won’t fly away and you can get bolas out on a scorpion

Hit the tape with bolas then arrows/darts

Put prime meat in

Enjoy your new Tapejara

Hard to do, but aggro with rare flower and pull into a covered pen. Close pen. Need a giant gate at least. Wood or stone works. Then bola and tranq at leisure within safety of your pen. No baddies to get him.

Use rare flowers to aggro the tapejara and lead it to a flyer taming cage.

I cannot find your tip to thank you, but advice to just kill then revive at platform was just what i needed after stalking and bolo'ing and trying unsuccessfully to trap or KO. Granted it took 26 amber for level 210, it was totally worth it, thanks to you!

If it fets a way and flies too high, you better of leaving it as it wont land for quite awhile.
