Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a tapejara? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a tapejara.
If you see one landing and you didn’t have a ghillie suit and only one bola
Well then hope you got aim from far range cause once they start running they will never be found again lol
You can eat rare flowers to agro it which is great for an easy efficient tame.
It's very easy an hard to tame the tapejara. If you can angle bolas, great then you shouldn't need the ghille suit. If you manage to bola it quickly run up to it and knock it out with a upgraded club or high melee damage. You wont have to waste time getting tranquilizer darts or arrows. If you manage to knock it out then you should guard an check it ASAP.
People are saying it's hard, but I ran up behind it-- WHILE ALREADY GETTING THE BILA SWINGING-- and right as it went to start flying I threw bola and KOd it. Eh
These are hard to tame, make sure you have plenty of bolas and tranq arrows, feed it meat if you don’t have prime fish meat
If you have a long neck rifle that is a journeyman or higher you can nock it out with out a bola
So u spend all ur time taking it BY YOURSELF and then u bring it back home (the trip is horrible) and then u log off the next day u can't find it u look at the tribe notes or whatever it's called and u see this: your giga was kicked off the server cuz of too high lvl
And then I'm like I'm not gonna play ARK for a while
Don't fıght ıt. Becouse ıt's good to tame ıt. You need a bola (Net wıth harpoon), tanq arrow. You throw the bola or shot wıth the harpoon. Then you knock out the dıno bırd. Shot wıth narcotıc stuff and feed hım wıth meat
A lot of people say that you need a flying mount to get this but all I did was chase it with a tranq gun and it went down with three shots
They are NOT affected by bolas
Since a tip has to be a certain amount of words here are some.
Wood thatch blablablablabalabalaba and thats how it ends
Rare flowers to lure it, bola to catch, tranq darts should be enough to knock it out before the bola runs out
Make 2 mind wipe tonics.
Reset stats, putting everything into crafting.
Craft longneck.
One shot Tapejaras from ground or on a griffin(2 depending on level)No bolas needed.
Use rare flowers to bait it towards you or a taming pen, beware this makes this the tapejara attack you!
Surprisingly, the tapejara is a great alpha killer. Just find a alpha raptor, and hover above it. Strafe downwards, attack, go up, and repeat. It's also good for long distance flight, carrying fair amounts of resources, and scouting.
An effective way to knock out a Tapejara is to wait for it to land, equip a bola then run straight at it while swinging the bola. As soon as it does it's 'roar'' animation, throw to bola before it flies away. If you miss or throw too late, then if you can get it out of your render distance quickly then load it back in, it should have stopped flying away and be back in it's normal state, ready for you to try again.
Make sure to land head shots only cause these guys can outrun most flyers.
Since it has 3 seats you can have a driver, and 2 people in the back with guns and jump people works everytime, btw not the best idea 2 have the guy in the middle to have a gun equipped because he might shoot the driver the third guy or most importantly the tame and kill it happened once never again I hope
Chase it to your base keep a distance so that the Tapejara will stop fleeing and become stagnant over your base. Using a quetzal with trapper preferably 3x3 (doorframes). Trap the Tapejara and begin to tranq till unconscious. Simply just fly the quetzal in any direction and now you can begin to tame within your compound. I tamed 10 already. 7 in one day.
Use trank bullets
It should work 3 shots
