Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a tapejara? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a tapejara.
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
On mobile, you get a free ascendant tapejara saddle from completing the 'Thin air' pursuit
If it flies away from you when you want to tame it, use a rare flower to aggro it. You can attempt to shoot it down while aggro’ed, but it will also land again once it’s no longer angry so you can try again.
If your in ark mobile, and you have access to potent dust and dodo feathers, craft some dodo arrows and shoot the particular tapejara your looking for with the dodo arrow to activate agro on it and lure them. If your in normal ark (pc, ps4 or xbox) use rare flowers to lure it into a trap.
If it fets a way and flies too high, you better of leaving it as it wont land for quite awhile.
It says these can be netted but I don’t think they can. I shot one three times with net projectile and on the third shot I know I hit because a saw a blood spatter animation which doesn’t seem appropriate for net gun anyways and it was never captured. Maybe a bug? Playing on PC lost Island. It ended up being easy to down with just two tranq darts tho so it wasn’t too much of a loss except the waste of three nets.
Step-By-Step on how to tame a Tapejara
1. Eat a rare flower so it will aggro and chase you
2. Land your flier and bola him (Make sure your flier is on passive)
3. Knock him out and feed him superior kibble or any type of meat (Preferably raw prime or mutton)

A saf’r tapejara guide!
You'll need: stone dinosaur gateways, 2 stone dinosaur gateway doors, 6-10 rare flowers or more depending on the distance you put your trap, a tanky flyer (maybe 1000 or more health?) that can fit through the doors and a good steep mountain thats fairly safe.
STEP 1: Set down your birdcage trap, open one of the doors thats in the direction of the tapejara.
STEP 2: Munch a flower, make sure no other flyers other than the tapejara are following you. Make sure the rare flower timer doesn’t go below 5 seconds at least.
STEP 3: Once you get it inside the trap, lock your tame and the tapejara in and begin shooting, don't worry about your tame as the timer will go down and it'll stop attacking (tapejaras are a fleeing animal like pteranodons!)
STEP 4: Do the usual knockout tame stuff, fill it with narcotics and food and wait until tamed!
Tada! You have made a reusable trap and have a tapejara :D
If you are a noob, run up and bola it. Shoot it with a couple Narco arrows with a crossbow and then wait for the torpor to do the job. I tamed mine by the beach and I love it!
Use rare flowers to aggro the tapejara and lead it to a flyer taming cage.
If you eat a rare flower a tapajara will follow you to try to kill you and you can just tame him easily just make sure to beware of other dinos
If your playing Genesis you want this bird because you can use whistles to make it go to a certain spot another thing when you are in the passenger seat water won't dismount you
Silly Survivor
On solo mobile ark GET GHILLIE ARMOR. Played 7 months without ever could tame tapejara . It just fled away, spent 100 bolas on trying. Until today than i read, GHILLIE ARMOR gives you camouflage and tapejara is nit flying away except if you are getting TOO close. Yes, i tamed my first tapejara after so much time.
Collect prime fish meat from leedscthis fish and feed tapejara it will take less time than prime meat or kibble plz like ^if it this helps u
These things are great at taming Dino’s from the air. If yur above a spin-off or Rex yu want to tame, just sit on the back of yur tapijara and let it fly in place. There’s nothing the Dino can do as you shoot its face with tranq darts and/or arrows. Watch it fall to the ground and feed it the required taming food. Congrats, give yur tapijara a pat on the back, and celebrate with a taming party
🎉
If you eat a rare flower ot will be aggressive twords you instead of running away. Just make sure it is alone if not any dinos in the area will attack you
A Tamer's Guide to Tapejaras
Step 1: Craft Bolas, 3-5 in case you miss.
Step 2: Gather rare flowers, about 10 should do.
Step 3: Get a good flight mount that can take some hits, like a pelagornis.
Step 4: Find the Tapehara you want and eat rare flowers while on your mount, the Jara will start attacking you.
Step 5: Fly to a surface, land, jump off and bola the Jara.
Step 6: Beat that mofo into submission. Easy way to tame the skittish Tapejara.
Literally came around a cliff corner on the Center, saw it. Had bola out. Threw it. Used some tranq arrows was lvl 30. Fed it.
Had my two dilophosaurs and freshly tamed raptor on guard duty. Came back to a therizinosaur lvl 8 that killed everything except the Tapejara... So I called over a buddy to snipe it. I'm killing all therizinosaur I come across.
Named Tapejara "Big Mama" cause no one messes with her. Lol
Best mount so far. Been playing only a couple weeks.
Easier than expected, fly to it, eat rare flowers and drive it to a safe place and Bola it
