If you guys want this guys
then heres the step totally make alot of trand arrows like 50 or more than i recommend more trand arrows when you miss to much
step 1:you need a tapejara with saddle of course
step 2 get some biotoxin you can get some bio toxins to chidarians
or get 10x soothing balm
step 3: riding tapejara find some quetzal here where can you found quetzal you can found this guys near to obelisk i always found this guys near to obelisks
step 4: if you already found quetzal go near to quetzal sit at the back seat in tapejara whistle the tapejara (target) which the tapejara will attack the quetzal
step 5: while your tapejara is attacking the quetzal go shoot the quetzal with trand arrows
Step 6: if the quetzal is far away from you don’t shoot it if it is near shoot it!
step 7:make sure not to max torpor the quetzal look at your below before max torporing the quetzal if it the quetzal is in land not gonna got to water max the torpor if it the quetzal is gonna got to water don’t max the torpor or the quetzal will die in drown make sure to look below before 1 shot torpor safety first:)
step 8 now feed it with raw prime meat and put the biotoxins to its inventory while waiting i recommend no carnivore dinos around the quetzal if there is no carnivore dinos around go hunt for titanoboa and other creatures that you can get smoe raw prime meat only near but don’t be far to quetzal you might forgot the way
step 9: now you have to guard quetzal from carnivores until it’s full but make sure to feed it biotoxins when unconscious is low
step 10: now congrats now you have a quetzal name idea birdzal or gigantic bird
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
57% tamed right now. I don’t know why people make this difficult. I fly on my argy under the quetzal, shoot it, and chase after it again. I have tamed many quetzals like this. Once you tame a low level, make a trap on it to tame higher levels.
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.
MAKE SURE TO PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE AREA THAT YOUR QUETZ IS FLYING DIRECTLY ABOVE BEFORE YOU KNOCK IT OUT! I had two quetzals drop into rivers near red ob and drown, and had another quetzal drop into the middle of the swamp, where it got killed by 2 sarcos and a kapro. Also, defend your quetz's body when it gets knocked out, since even dilos can attack this thing, meaning that it isn't safe from any aggressive carnivore (and also brontos cuz i once saw a rex fighting 2 brontos in my area and it caused my quetzal to be caught in the crossfire and lose 50 taming effectiveness)
Last point to bring up: if they spawn in any areas where rhynios can also spawn, and a rhynio goes after the quetzal, you can cross off taming that quetzal cause unless you can fly fast enough to make it prioritize you over the quetzal wild rhynios are faster than wild quetzals, and the quetzal will eventually die to resin attacks.
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.
