Have fun not sleeping because breeding takes so long

The quetzal cannot carry allosaurus in ark mobile (old version). I tested it and the largest thing it can carry was a therizinosaurus (tickle chicken)

This is for a quick and kind of ez tame for mobile players (i recommend longneck with darts)

1st step Tame a Tapejara (i recommend to level it up first and put some speed)

2nd step look for a quetzal (bring soothing balm and rex kibble for easier tame)

3rd step after u found a quetz, save your game in one of the save slots (mobile only i think)

4th step whistle the tapejara to attack & change to the passenger seat

5th step tame

(Bring some prime if your taming a highlevel or more kibble)

(MOBILE) My way how I tamed a quetzal is:

I found a quetzal arround the green obelisk

Then I killed it with my argy (don't harvest quetzal)

Then took his implant from him

Placed revival platform and built thatch things arround, so he cant escape

Then I knocked with tranq.

You can bring ur friend so he can help u tame it, with Tapejara, Argentavis, Pteranodon,

With Tapejara, ur friend controls Tapejara and you sit on the back and knock out the quetzal

With Argentavis, your friend picks you up with Argentavis and then he flies to Quetzal and you try to knock it

With Pteranodon, same like with Argentavis

-Hope this helped.

To the mobile player who can’t request or unclaim their missing Quetz, sorry. You can’t do anything, you have to wait until they eventually starve to death, as you cannot request them so if they had plenty of food in their inventory, you’ll have to wait an extremely long time for that tame slot to be free. Sorry man, hope this isn’t too bad for you.

Upgrade health maybe 2 or 3 times, then soam levels in weight and stam because you can just go into air, stop sprinting, stop moving and sit up there for days on pvp servers and if ur high enough your safe

Or mosa and go deep underwater

They are usually around red woods and swamp also I would recommend using tranq arrows or darts mostly arrows cause damage in the arrows upgrade the torpor

My way that i am willing to do to Tame these guys is to kill it, revive it with a revival platform and tranq it 😊

I literally found it on my base lol

Is it a possibility to take an egg and have one Aggro on you, or is that too dangerous?

The best thing to do is 1. Get a arge, 2. Fill it up with stone or another heavy thing, until its ALMOST over-encumbered (aka so its slower when you grapple but not to slow. Now grapple onto that sucka and whistle attack target. Happy taming :)

With the rhynio now in ark ascended, the pretzel is way easier to tame. You can shoot off of the back of the rhynio so once you find the quetzal you can tranq it and lead it where you want it to go.

Once you knock it out it’s a simple tame

-Gator Tamer

Want to tame one of these? Well, you came to the right place! These guys are pretty hard to tame. (Took me a month to find one) Here is a guild on how to tame one:

What You need to pack:

50 tranq arrows or 30-40 tranq darts

1crossbow or 2 crossbows or 1-2 Longneck rifles

50 raw prime meat or more

200 raw meat

500 narcotics just in case

Grappling hooks

What tames you might need:

Tapejara with its saddle ( 3 seater)

Argy with its saddle

Way number 1 ( I did it this way)

Hop on your argy and look for a quetzal (They usually spawn around the red obelisk near some islands)

Since Quetzals never land, look in the air for one.

Once you found one, Jump from your argy and grapple it. You may want to practice before you try to tame the quetzal. Whistle attack on the quetzal and hit it with tranq ammo. Feed it meat and there you go!

Way 2

To make this way short, do the same this as with the argy but use a tapejara and sit on the extra seats. Tranq it and feed it meat!

Wild quetzals need to have a look at trees and land dinos, not just clouds and other birds

Position them so that their wings go through each other and they wont move away from one another during breeding. Learned this a few months ago.

The best way to knock it out is too ride a griffin and take out your Tranq gun and shoot it in the head.

Tame locations tend to be near green ob. I did find 3 out by coordinates 43, 54. River near volcano and redwood forest.

if you get the quartz a platform saddle and then whistle it to follow something on that saddle, it will not land automatically when you stop piloting it, as it normally would try to land otherwise.

combine this with an assistive Argy and you can gather resources/tame/explore without you quartz and base being threatened

I decided to do the strat where i grapel to my argentavis and make him aggro to the quetzal. I damn near hit the quetzal 100 times with darts and it wont get knocked out (lvl 95 qtz). SOMEONE PLZ HELPP

Ride on passenger seat on griffin and whistle target on quetzal, then use either tranq darts or bow with toxicant arrows and keep shooting until it’s knocked out, watch out for water though, it will drown.
