How do I tame a quetzal? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a quetzal.
You can use honey to lure the quetzal to the ground and into a trap.
If you found one, don't blink while chasing. Don't. Blink.
Use a tape jars and a tribe mate use a net after attacking it into a safe area go down and trank it in the head then feed exceptional kibble congratulations you have a flying fortress
In order to solo tame a quetz, you could use an argentavis and a pulmiscorpius. Just pick up the pulmiscorpius, and do whistle attack target while looking at the quetz, your pulmiscorpius should start attacking the quetz, raising it's torpidity until it is knocked out.
These boys can be netted making taming easier.
Rare flowers, egg aggros, etc. don’t work anymore, they never aggro while they are wild, they only flee and they are pretty damn quick, but once you tame them, they are literal flying snails
If you have Rhynio, you can shoot Quetzal and knocked out it while riding Rhynio.
Or drop some honey to lure Quetzal to the land and then set trap.
Always keep a equus and lasso while taming a quetzal.
If your unlucky enough, the quetz will knock out over water which normally would ruin your day but if you lasso a knocked quetzal you can drag it out of the water to safety.
If you have a snow owl you can freeze it so it falls and then put gates around it
They have the 50 50 glitch were they fly to 50 50 on the map so the always fly there so that’s we’re you should make a trap or kill it and revive it at your base. Up so people can see
If you don't have tapejara, you can craft parasutes, jump of a pteranodon or argentavis use parasutes and shooting in quetz(easy to do on mobile version of ark)
To the guy who was wondering if you could land on the back of a quetzal and take it, the answer is no you cannot, you'll just slip off, trust me, I tried
How to tame a quetzal, solo, on mobile, with a pteranodon:
1. Ride your fastest mount, and kill a quetzal. Leave the body, and let it fall to the ground
2. Collect the creature implant from the dead body
3. Create a revival platform
4. Surround revival platform with metal foundations, and on those metal foundations, put a three-wall high metal fence (using the metal door frames). Cover the whole thing with metal roofing.
5. Revive the wild quetzal. It can’t escape, so just knock it out with darts or poisons arrows etc
You now have a quetzal
If you use a tapejara to follow and knock out the quetzal you have to whistle follow or else when you switch seats you’ll descend instead of staying in the air
Just use a rhynio, as you can shoot off the back of it.
Don’t need to mess around with argys and grappling hooks, just raise yourself a rhynio and you’ll find your life on ark gets a lot easier.
I always find my quetzals at the red obelisk
If you have a friend playing with you. Get an Argentavis, make your friend lift you using Argentavis and shoot the Quetz from there.
If youre solo, you can use Tapejara, jump on the passenger seat and just command the Tapejara to chase the Quetz, this can be a bit challenging because the whistle doesnt work well all the time.
Before you knock out the Quetz, make sure it wont fall into the ocean or river, so it wont drown. Feed it with the neccesary taming food, and there you have it.
Just use a Griffin if your able to tame a Griffin
Tame tapejara. Jump in front seat on the ground. Use " go to this area" button to get air born. Comma on pc I think. I tell mine to chase other fliers. It takes a few tries. Use same button to direct tapejara to quetzal. I used tranc darts. And raw prime meat. Got lucky and killed some carnos next to him when he went down. I was level 90 ish and he was level 7 or 8. Took about 10 darts and maybe 15 minutes with the prime meat. Bring narco and be ready to kill anything around where he lands. He is a game changer. Once you have him tamed make platform saddle and use him to tame more.
Why do these guys always knock out and fall near carnos, raptors and sabers
