Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a tapejara? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a tapejara.
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
I can’t find a single one. I’ve looked literally all over the map I think ark has banned them from my game
If you’re on scorched earth I found LOADS in the mountains near the red obelisk they’re really easy to tame with a long neck and tranquilliser darts but I couldn’t get mine to bola, have fun
If you really want one of these I highly recommended going to the floating islands in crystal isles map. I made a base over here and these things spawn like crazy. There’s also aberrant spinos over here too! I hope this helps those desperately trying to find one of these like I was!
I use my apprentice sword, but I think a bow would work, but if you kill the ducks,(hesporonis) they are a good farm for organic polimer, witch you need for gilie suit and sneak up on tapejar’s to bola them, because if you don’t they fly and they fly fast, and just a tip, I can’t remember what you need for gilie, but for any snow armor or anything with pelt, use hair with sissors
I suggest using a pt and eating rareflowers to lead it to a trap
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 you go near them they run away
They live near the metal mountains
If you find one eat a rare flower and every passive or neutral Dino’s should come to attack you so make sure you are protected then just trap it in gates and knock it out ez tame a L bozo
Easiest way is to build a trap, get an argent and eat rare flowers to lure it in the trap. From there you know what to do.
For capturing it I find it easy to find one landed already and run with bola swinging and throw it at its head then shoot with tranqs easy capture
On the Center map, one spawns almost every hour on jungle south between 60,50 and 60,60 in the area right across from the lone island. I go with some bolas and tranq gear and scavenge around that area until one spawns.
On ark Mobile around the green Obelisk, I have never seen so many In my life. I’ve seen many cool / pretty colors of the Tapejaras. Around the green Obelisk on mobile, I have estimated I have seen 15 around the green Obelisk. I have found one by the river of the obelisk, and 100 meters away ANOTHER right in the entrance of the small jungle, MORE by the swampy, cross redwood and swamp areas. I managed to tame this the hard way. I used a pteranodon and brought and Tranq long neck rifle, keep fleeing. Finally managed to land in safe place, now I figured out it could’ve been easier ALOT with ghille, a bola, and some rare flowers that Argo it. I don’t know why but I tamed it easily the hard way, but wow, I have never realized there are so many and so easy to tame once you understand the concept of taming these, absolutely easy to tame and mutate it, breed it a crud ton and get a overpowered Tapejara With either high melee, speed, stamina, weight, whatever. Hope you learned from here, bye...
Use ghillie, If your Pc or console(i am mobile) use cactus broth, crounch walk up tô It BOLA IT and KO or build a trap like bob the builder or flash as fast as possible
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.
I ate rare flowers.it didn't aggro on me.i tried twice but it just flew away & disappeared it's a male one .
So the thing is you need to find it it's hard but if you do follow these steps:
1:when you see it wait for it to land
2:sneak up to it if they see you they'll fly away so crouch
3:when your close to it bola it
4:shoot it with tranq arrows, tranq darts, remember tranq arrows can kill it
5:when it's unconscious give it raw meat,raw prime meat,allosaurus kibble it prefers allosaurus kibble
And boom you have a tapejara
As i was making my base i just saw one, then i used a bola on it and blasted it with tranq arrows, bolas usually last around 30 seconds but me i use second one and so on so forth when it reaches 25 seconds
If your trying to tame of of these with out it running away you can go out on a flyer that you can use a bola on. Then after you have it on the bola you can knock it out. Then feed it meat. Then you have your own Tapejara. I hope this was helpful :)
When I tamed mine, I just ran up to it from behind with Bola in hand, and just as it gets scared, yeet the bola, then shoot in the face with tranqs.
