Tips & Strategies
For taming the quetz you should get a partner otherwise it will be very difficult to tame. Use any flying mount that you have (make sure it has enough weight to carry 2 people. Make sure to have a cross bow or tranq sniper otherwise it will take awhile to knock out. There are 2 strategies to knock the quetz out that are easy either have a person grab you on a flying mount and shoot it or having a person on a flying mount bring you very close so that you can grappling hook in to the quetz (remember to have a parachute so you don't die to fall damage when it knocks out). Then from there just shoot it till the quetz is knocked out. I would also recommend that you come prepared with at least 10 wood spike walls so you can surround your tame so it will not be harmed from the environment and lose bonus levels. Make sure to bring one crossbow with at least 1 grappling hook (bring more if you think you will miss), tranq sniper (optional), narcotics (800+), wood spike walls, and a flying mount.
More Quetzal Taming & KO Tips
The fun way is to jump off and grapple to your argie and whistle it to attack and since argies are slow it won’t catch up in time so tranq till it goes out also bring parachutes and consider liking so more people will know
Idk why everyone makes this so complicated with all the grappling stuff all you have to do is,
1. Get or use a tapejara that’s a low level with a couple levels into movement speed
2. Get a rifle or crossbow with either darts or tranqs
3. Find a quetzal and then go to the back of your tapejara and set to attack the quetzal
(Since quetzals have high health and ur using a low level tapejara you can actually leave the tapejara to attack the quetzal, it’ll be fine)
4. Knock It out, not over water, and put whatever you want into it and ban you have a quetzal
Btw, you don’t need to worry about the tapejara’s stamina, it doesn’t decrease while you sit in the back seat
Guys this is the ersieht was to tame a quetzal. All you need is a tapejara.
1) Whisle your Tapejara to follow you
2) Ride you Tapejara and surch for a quetzal
3) When you found a quetzal, go an the back of the Tapejara (dont forget that you have to make the follow whisle on Tapejara, otherwise the will Flyer to the ground)
4) Make the attack whisle while you are on the Tapejata's back, so your tapejara will follow the quetzal.
5) Just shoot the quetzal with tranq darts/arrow and make the passive whisle on the Tapejara when he is too close to the Quetzal.
6) Repeat that till the quetzal gets knocked out and enjoy your quetzal taming.
TIPP: They spawn near the Obelisk and fly trought the whole map after spawning. GOOD LUCK!
If you manage to knock a quetzal out, try starve taming. If you never tried starve taming it’s just leaving a Dino’s hunger go to half way or lower and then you start feeding. I’ve done this many times and it’s very useful taming trick.
Use a tapejara, sit on the passager seat and set it on my target. Then make it fly to the quetz. Shoot the quetz with any sort of tranq ammo. Do this reapetly and you Have knocked quetz👌
Important note !!
Quetz will not follow you if you eat a rare flower!
If you have any dodo arrows, make a trap (tutorials on YouTube) the shoot the quetzal with the dodo arrows. The quetzal will get triggered at you and lead it to the trap.
To solo tame, grapple to an argentavis, and be ready to set your argentavis to passive and attack my target on command. Just maintain a process of having your argentavis chase the quetzal, when you get close enough set it passive, then fire a tranq dart/arrow. This is a long process, but it is by far the easiest way to solo tame, unless you already have a quetzal.
Bro whoever said that god to red obelisk and do a tidy save and get a quetzel bruh my game gave me a titanosour instead of quetzel 🤣
Drop honey in front of the Quetz and in a direction that suits you. Keep dropping honey and the quetz will follow all the way to the ground. Once on the ground place Dino gates froward and aft of its wings. Tame away. Good luck
