Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a tapejara? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a tapejara.
I found three of them near red obelisk on the island for anyone who can't find one
I use these things to tame quetzals
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.
You can also set up a trap and eat rare flowers near it to have it chase you into said trap, if you don’t want to sneak and throw bolas
So to tame mine I actually didn't have a ghillie armor so I just landed my argy at like 2 meters of the tapejara, waited for it to land, then winded up my bola and ran at him lol
Then, I threw it on the tapejara and knocked it out with a tranq dart. Finally, I saw a diplo near it and killed it to get prime meat, gave it to the tapejara and boom tamed :)
Sorry if my english is bad lol

get bolas and rare flowers lead it somewhere safe like your base bola it and knock it out
They spawn near mountains
And redwoods
A bit dangerous in crowded Areas but if you can afford to do it, rare flowers and a bola are so easy. I’m taming one of these to try tame the desert titan with its tek saddle, so I can just protect myself and it with a managarmr. Rare flowers are by far the easiest method for me so far.
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!
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
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
I almost tamed it and some level 40 raptor killed it it was a 120
No bolo and sneaking necessarily..just have a good owl or flyer with a lot of stamina..when you spot the one you want wait for it to land, keep your distance and make sure it’s back is to you, one or two good head shots with a longneck and tranqs you are good to go.
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
The easiest way to find and tame these things is extinction in sanctuary
If anyone is as dumb as me just know don’t run up to it if you can crouch so it will be less likely for it to notice you and fly away
On mobile, you get a free ascendant tapejara saddle from completing the 'Thin air' pursuit
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
you can eat a wild flower, use ghili suit, or bola it. just be careful when eating a wild flower because it can attract other creatures
