Weaknesses & counter tips

Worked out from its stats

  • Low health pool — vulnerable to burst damage; focus it down quickly.
  • Low torpor — easy to knock out; a few tranq hits will subdue it.

VR Tapejara — Detailed Guide

The X-Tapejara is the Genesis Part 1 variant of the Tapejara, a flyer that can hover, cling to cliffs and carry passengers. It looks patterned and gets 5% more melee damage for 3% less health than a normal Tapejara. On official servers it can reach level 500.

Where to find it

  • Genesis Part 1: the Bog biome, in both ASA and ASE.
  • ASE: also Fjordur.

Taming

A knockout tame, same as the base Tapejara. It is skittish and flies away, so knock it out quickly with tranquilizer arrows or darts. Superior Kibble or Raw Mutton gives the fastest tame.

Breeding

  • Egg: the eggs need 29 to 32 °C.
  • Growth: a baby matures in about 2.3 days at 1x.

Uses

Fast scouting and travel, cliff-side building access and carrying a second player. The Tapejara Saddle unlocks at level 55.

Tips

Shoot it while it is on the ground or clinging to a wall. A knocked-out flyer that falls into the bog water is much harder to reach and protect.
