In ark I am in the middle of taming a pretzel lol but since a low level (no offense) can’t tame one because they don’t know how or don’t have a tapejara you should probably be a minimum of level 55 to tame one. Anyway, … what were we talking about? Oh ya, a pretzel. Anywayyyyy, you need a Three saddled Tapejara a bunch of narcotics(or any other narcotics) and a bunch of meat just in case you should probably go to the big red floating stone thing off to the bottom left beach area of the map or you can just see it from the other half of the world but fly there with your tapejara. There shou,d be Pretzels there and I would recommend getting a girl. You come close to the Pretzal WITH your tapejara try to switch seats(in the front seat) and target the pretzel then get a crossbow loaded with a tranq arrow ready and shoot it. When it is over water and you think you have shot it like 28 times wait until it gets over land and then shoot it some more. Make sure your tapejara doesn’t do that much damage to it. When it falls follow it, shove the stuff into it’s inventory, spawn your strongest tames, and tame it. My rule is NEVER LET THE UNCONSCIOUS LEVEL GET HIGHER THAN YOUR TAMING LEVEL:)
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
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 🤣
Best way is to use a partner to help you chase it down w a argii or Pt but in my opinion the best way is to get a griffin and shoot at it. Hit box kinda sucks but wait and shoot and wait again while you chase it with tranqs. If it gets stuck on the side of a cliff while chasing it down … then much easier. Best solo way.
