Utility Tips
What is a tapejara used for? tapejara battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
This Dino is my favorite on the island for various reasons. First, it can hold 2 passengers, a pilot, and carry another. Second, it is the most maneuverable flyer out there. It can fly sideways, backwards, and can land on vertical surfaces (cliffs, redwoods.) Third, it has a tek saddle, so you can have four dubs on that thing (tek saddle, 2 passengers, and one carried person.)
I LOVE the tapujaras! And also I think they are better than pteradons.(probably gonna get ALOT od hate on what I just said) But its because 1.they can atatch on trees to get their Stamina! Meanwhile your SAFE! BUT the pteradons to get stamina you need to go on the ground where it's dangerous. 2. TAPUJARAS HAVE 2 SEATS AND FROM EACH ONE OF THEM YPU CAN SHOOT (perfect for giga taming,or wyvern egg stealing. BUT THE PTERADON HAS ONLY ONE SEAT AND YOU CANT SOOT FROM IT. 3. ALSO TAPUJARAS HAVE MORE STAMINA THAN PTERADONS AND STAMINA IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR FLYERS. THE ONLY REASON PTERADONS CAN BE BETTER THAN TAPUJARAS IS THEIR MELEE DAMAGE,SPEED AND SPRINT. BUT TAPUJRARS HAVE BETTER HEALTH AND STAMINA. BUT STILL I THINK TAPUJARAS ARE BETTER THAN PTERADONS. ^ DO THAT IF TOU AGREE
Tip for yur Tapijara!
If yur just simply flying acrossed the map and/or heading somewhere, losing stam can be really annoying. But, for yur Tapijara there is a solution!
When stam starts to get real low, tap the chair button on the side of the screen, hop to the back of her/him, and then tap it again. Once yur back in front, the stamina should have replenished!
This may only work for mobile players.
Thanks for reading!

If you’re thinking on getting one, get it. The hardest thing abt these are finding them. Otherwise taming, saddle making, ect is easy as.
Why you ask? Find one with good health, their xp levels are low so you can level them up easy as, they don’t do much damage but with the health, kill as many things as possible. They aren’t strong you say? I just encountered 3 carnos, 2 sarvos, a few snakes and a pack of terror birds, I was alone and accepting death when ‘Coochayyy’ stepped in and helped. Both got out alive. Upgrade speed and weight. They already come with pretty good weight for a flyer, but their stamina is also alright, might want to level that up too tho. With all these new levels you now have a perfect carrier. When going on long adventures for anything bring them, they can carry all your language as you explore. Up this tip for more ark players to see.
I love these majestic Dorito heads so much, I, the very rider of the great ‘Bruce Wayne’ (my fallen Carno) have at least five of them for two reasons: their odd characteristics and to mass transport obsidian quickly. Their outstanding speed/weight ratio makes them my personal favorite areal pack mules. And they are literal tree-huggers if you’re in the redwoods.
These dudes are amazing tames cause while slow at first they can get pretty fast with only a few levels pumped into speed. They can cling to surfaces and allow you to snipe things from a tree. They can carry three people and if solo you can whistle it to follow you and switch seats and it will hover in the air while you shoot the creatures below.(if you have them whistled to be stopped they will land though) if they run low on stamina unlike other flyers you don't have to land just switch seats for a bit and keep going. They are one of the safest ways to take out powerful creatures too. Their saddle is also gotten pretty early so you can ride them in about mid game. And finally they are a good way to tame a quetzal. Overall an amazing tame absolutely would recommend. Their only problem is their hard to find and if it sees you it will fly off to high heaven and you'll never see it again.
