Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a tapejara? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a tapejara.
I think what you should do is if you see one then get your bola out charge it and then run to it (tapejara has to be in ground) as fast as you can and when your ready throw it at it and shoot it with tranq arrow (bring food and bio toxin)
Warning I was revive taming one of these in a metal pen the pen was pretty big and made of metal doorframes I didn't bola it because I thought it's not necessary then somehow it went through doorframes and I lost errie tapejara and never saw again
Best for taming creatures not for killing
Forget all that faffing about with bolas, flowers or traps - this has NEVER worked for me. Instead, grab a high powered longneck and just shoot tranqs from distance. A 580% long neck takes down a 140 tape with two tranq darts - but caution, you can easily kill a low level, no head shots!
Please give me a tip and a simple thing to tame it with please please bc i really need a tapejara
Eat a rare flower to get it aggressive towards you so it doesn't run away. Just make sure that no other creatures are near.
Some people say this things torpor goes down fast but it dose not. I goes down so slow at least it dose on mobile.
use wild flowers (i think) and tranq it feed it stuff and boom there you go you now have a i forgor
If you don’t want to do the bola strat and want a bit more adventure, here’s my idea: take a grappling hook and latch onto it, then switch to another crossbow or longneck with tranq rounds, then open fire, and pray that you don’t fall into the jaws of a hungry Spino or Rex
How to tame, simple guide
1. Find one
2. Bola from a distance
3. Pump any type of traq into it
4. Feed it prime meat or if you don’t have it, regular meat
5. You have a new flyer! Enjoy!
Don’t listen to the person that said use a saddled flying creature they will fly away if they see you or any ANY creature your using
What I did was kill one, take the chip, revive it, bola and a couple tranq arrows to the head, feed prime meat, and now you have yourself a tapejara
I see alot of folks saying how hard these are to get. It is simple as long as you are careful. USE A RARE FLOWER! You can lure them to an easy area and they are easy to bola when they are attacking you. Just be sure you don't got any big bad near when popping a rare flower. Happy Hunting!
These things are really hard to tame but here's what you'll need full ghillesute,tranqdarts or tranqarrows,biotoxin or narcotic,bolas if on console then agro with rare flower. Hope this lodout helps because I failed using it.
1. Make a trap for flying creature.(With 4 stone Dino Gate Frames)
2. Eat a Rare Flower when you near Tapejara.(Make sure there are no any creature around)
3.When you eat the Rare Flower Tapejara comes to attack you(This is effective for several seconds). Then you can trap it and tame it.
(Wear a ghillie kit to get close to it)

You don’t need a ghillie suit if you can trick shot bolas from long distance
This creatures are not much rare but to tame them is really very hard, because if they see you they ran away so fast that you can't catch and if you caught them some how there will some carnivore creatures they will kill your tapejara very easily and you will only get is a meat of tapejara that's it.... If you really want to tame them you have find their spot if they are on the land. And call out your strongest creature who can kill almost all dinos by himself so that your tapejara is safe. And you can finally tame them. But pls soothing balm before feeding them food, because it takes a lot of time to tame them. And pls take atleast 5 spikewalls with you to keep them safe while feeding them food.
All these people talking about gillie suits and bolas when I just found one it was running into a wall of someones base and it got stuck and I just shot it.. it almost does to dilos tho lol
If you don’t have ghille, and he best way to bola it is from above. Just wait for it land next to a ledge, climb up, and hit with the bola. I tamed a level 55 this way.
With the help of the new affects of eating rare flowers you can lure these scaredy cats Into a flyer taming pen with there sudden and extreme rage. Just close the door when they enter
