Lecalicot Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Is it worth taming a Tapejara in single player mode? I’ve been thinking about trying to tame a Tapejara. I read you can use rider weaponry on the bird but that it is more used for tribe mates. Does that still work for single player? I hear griffins are great, but I play on mobile so I’m looking for a bird that I can use weapons with. Also heard it’s better to tame a quetz with. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks guys.

yekrucifixion187 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Griffin allows rider weaponary and is best thing to solo tame a Quetzal. Tape only allows passenger weaponary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFatBoy Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Tapejaras are overrated (same as Quetzals). Argentavis FTW! ? We (my fiancee and I) have both, Tapejara and Quetzal, and we are using Argentavis most of the time. Edit: But if you need to use weapons Argentavis is not an option, unfortunately.

mattj Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Tapejaras are often useful. And they’re easy enough to tame, assuming you can find a high level one. I prefer them as backup rescue birds (in case I get ko’d when off my Argy) as they’re fast but have good HP. They just seem like a bulkier better weight Ptera.

Aylana314159 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 They are good to help with building tall structures. Since they have up and down movement directions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaprosuchus Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 there are really only like 5-10 dinosaurs that are pretty necessary, everything else it really just depends on your preference. I would personally suggest taming everything at least once just to play with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aylana314159 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Can you still use these to solo tame a quetz? Ride as passenger to use gun Use 'move to' whistle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the Griffin, and on maps without Griffins, I tame Tapejaras early in game, so that I can use them to tame a Quetz. just like @Aylana314159 said above. I think they are a worthwhile tame.

DeHammer Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Tapejaras are very useful. Although I don't play single player, our tribe is smaller and I've used them alone for almost as long as I've been playing. They can carry a ton, and their ability to move like a helicopter has some fantastic applications. I used one of my Tapajaras to get my first Quetzal... running the Quetzal into the ground and placing gateways around it. One of my Tapajaras serves as my in-base heavy lifter... it can even fly up and down the spiral staircases carrying heavy loads of resources to other levels. There is no other creature in ark that can quickly move heavy loads around tight spaces in a base like a Tapajara can. Period. Tapejaras are also great if you have a Bronto with platform. I land my Tapejara on the platform and it goes with my Bronto on berry runs. Then I can make quick trips back to base if I need to, sometimes with loads of berries so I don't have to pull the Bronto back to base to empty it.

Also speed enforcer if you like going so fast you can beat render speeds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s awesome you and your Fiancé play together! My husband got me hooked. Before this I’ve never played a game. I definitely rely on my Aggie for everything. From everything I’ve read I feel they aren’t getting enough credit. Thanks for your input. : D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue that Tapejaras are actually underrated, since most people don't see them as necessary. Same with Quetzals. Until they see how useful they are. But it's not a fault of the Tapejaras that many players are short sighted. The Argentavis is very useful and its usefulness is way more obvious early on. But I'll tell you what... now that I'm mid-game, my Argies sit unused now... unless I need a slower flyer to lead wild fliers into traps. Wyverns, tapejaras and Quetzals do everything else. My Argies biggest job is to look good and make eggs & poop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m definitely going to go for it. Im definitely needing a tank right now for high up building so you just made up my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
