So if u r on gen 2 use a bird to hop onto the quiz and tranq from on top. This method did not work on other maps because of the lack of tek armor but with tek feet u can stand on the side of cliffs and the qutzels

Basically tame a low level tap pump nothing but speed

Whistle target at the quetz let the tap bite the quetz while ur shooting tranqs and since tap has very low melee does practically no damage

Get dodo arrows to attract it and knock it out give Rex kibble and I recommend at least 100 narcs

IF U NEED METAL HERE IS TIP:

Step 1 get a quetzal and plat saddle and anky

Step 2 put refining forges on quetzal

Step 3 find good metal rock spot

Step 4 pick up anky and fly there

Step 5 mine ALL THE METAL!

Step 6 put metal in refiners so u have some smelting on the way home

Step 7 pick anky back up and fly home

I think there is a bug. I shoot about 80 darts on a lvl 24 Quetzal (I shoot every time I can, so torpor cant go down that much) and the Quetzal was still flying peacefully in the air. And I hit him, I saw the damage

For people on ragnarok or crystal isles use a griffin and shoot off the back of it

Grapple on to its face then just tranq it out. But bring parachutes so u don’t fall to death when it gets knocked out

Literally has one of the biggest hit boxes ever

All your submissions SUCK. Ways to find: go out of render distance from the red ob and tidy save. This resets the quetzal wherever they are. Stay on the obelisk for around 30 seconds, and one is right their. How to tame: kill the quetzal via pteranodon Argentavis or really any flyer. Except griffin. You don’t need a quetzal if you have a griffin. Gather the quetzals implant and then watch ads for a ton of amber, (trust me it doesn’t take too long) and once you have your amber and the quetzals implant simply build a 3 wooden pillar tall trap around the obelisk and cover any holes with either your foundations, pillars, or walls if you need it. Simply revive the quetzal, knock it out, and tame with preferably red kibble because taming it takes forever. And enjoy your new quetzal.

All you need is a Griffin and tranqs because you can shoot off the back of them

So I spawned at red ob to tribute artifact and I heard a Bola throwing sound when I spawned when I looked around me there was a frickin quetzal taking off. Quetzals NEVER touch the ground unless when they first spawn.

On mobile, Quetzals can be found near the obelisks, I like to look near the red obelisk. You may have to look around for a while and maybe do a tidy save

Just tamed lvl 196 from wyvern. Needs some patience as you land one hit at time (you can try 2 longnecks) , but it has one advantage, you can sprint after hit infront of quetz and change his direction as it tries to escape from you. Another option is to use low level slingshot to make him flee, for example from water to land. Either way you just fly infront and dismount wyvern to take a shot, you can even walk up his head, it's impossible to fall down. Don't forget to whistle wyvern on follow to stay in air.

Of your on mobile and your high enough

Level 1 get a revival platform

2 kill the quetz DO NOT HARVEST TAKE IMPLANT

3 make a trap around revival platform

4 revive the quetz

5 tame it

Idk why but it didn’t get knocked out

A Guide On Taming A Quetzal, Solo And On Console, Without The Net Gun:

1. Tame a high level Argentavis. Mine had 5,000 stamina and 120% movement speed. Tamed a level 135 at the volcano.

2. Make grappling hooks, parachutes and over 200 tranquilliser darts (I only ended up using 14)

3. Practice the method. Whistle your Argy to follow you, once it’s in the air, grapple onto it’s stomach. From there, look up and hit LB + Up on the D Pad. This is the ‘go here’ whistle command, which does NOT appear in the whistle wheel.

(This can cause problems - make sure you have assigned your Argy to a separate whistle group (in the inventory menu) from your other dinos and set that group as your active group. Otherwise, all your nearby dinos will try to reach the ‘go here’ location too)

4. Use the triggers to move up and down. I recommend moving down a little on the grapple - it seems easier.

5. Press crouch to release yourself from the grappling hook. This will cause you to fall in you’re in the air, so make sure you have a parachute - I think it might need to be on your hotbar.

6. Load up your Argy with everything, and then find your Quetzal. Land nearby. Repeat Step 3. Make sure your ‘go here’ is ABOVE the Quetzal - it’s easier to shoot it this way.

6.5. You can find Quetzals around but not limited to, the red obelisk, volcano, and cold north areas.

7. On xbox, the ‘go here’ command will make you change and/or put away your weapon. Best thing is to make sure your rifle is loaded after shooting before using the command again to catch up to the Quetzal.

8. If you reach the ground and can’t find your Quetzal, track it from the taming menu in the inventory. It should have a big icon over it’s head once you have tracked it.

BONUS INFO:

- Shooting the wings does not count as part of the hitbox. The best place to hit is the head, but the body is far easier.

- The Quetzal turns very often and quick during combat.

- It may be worth bringing a raft or making a small base with backup tools and armour and a bed nearby - especially if you’re in a more dangerous area. If you choose to do this, do it during Step 6.

- According to a reddit thread, trying to use a scorpion to knockout a Quetzal has a 70% death rate. This is because scorpions deal both melee and torpor damage. Both of them increase with leveling.

Guys the Leftover tranq darts from the rex as well as a few tranq arrows to take it down. Especially because I only had 3 grapple and 6 parachutes. It had insane torpor.

I got a ascendant qutez saddle from the ark mobile pursuit hunt argentavis. My argy killed all of them easy, the saddle has 86 armor which is decent I guess. So I am going to tame a quetz. I have a lot of amno leftover from a rex I tamed so I am going to look for a 110 I saw a while ago.

To Tame A Quetzal:

- Find Your Quetzal

- Hop on the passenger seat of your Tapejara

- Direct your Tapejara by whistling it when in the air

- Tranq the Quetz from the Tapejara until it is knocked out (Don’t knock out over water)

- Feed it Exceptional Kibble or Meat

Now You Have A Quetzal!

You Can Also Tame More Quetzals Much Easier

Is a quetz better than a giga? There is a 110 kinda close to my base.
