Tapejara — Detailed Guide

The Tapejara is a flyer that clings to walls and cliffs, takes off straight up, and seats three survivors. The passengers can use their weapons while it flies, which makes it a flying gun platform for small groups.

Where to find it

It nests on cliffs on The Island, The Center, Ragnarok, Valguero, Extinction and Scorched Earth in both games, on Astraeos and Genesis Part 1 in ASA, and on Crystal Isles, Fjordur, Lost Island and Genesis Part 2 in ASE. Extinction has the most.

Taming

A knockout tame. Its saddle unlocks at level 55. Amounts are in the taming calculator.

Breeding

  • Egg: hatches in about 1 hour 40 minutes.
  • Temperature: 29 to 32 °C.
  • Growth: a baby matures in about 2.3 days at 1x.

Uses

Carrying a small team, reaching cliff nests, and fighting from the air with passengers.

Tips

Land it on a wall near a nest to reach eggs other flyers cannot get to.
