Take several grappling hooks and a bunch of tranq darts.then fly after it with a bird jump off the bird and grappling hook to it!
If you have a quetz already dont worry if you have other people just look online to build a quetz trap you need a platform on it and i like to use wood. At this very moment im taming one by myself just make sure you have enough food and water and all the supplies you will need.
For taming I recommend having friend on the back seat of a Tapejara saddle with your preferred way of knocking out animals. Be sure you are careful where you knock this animal out. You don't want to knock it out into the water!
We have found that the best way to tame a quetz is to trap it with another quetz. On a quetz platform saddle, it must be 3 walls high, with some ceilings to keep it in, and some open spaces on the sides, but walls to keep it in as well. Leave the back open and fly in front of the quetz. Let the quetz fly into the trap(the front-middle of the platform must be open so the head can go through far enough). Once the quetz is in, DO NOT MOVE, or it will go right through the trap. Put walls in the middle of the back of the catcher to trap it in, and tranq it. Once it's down, you can tame it in the air, or just move a little and it'll drop out to the ground and you can put spikes around it to tame it where it fell.
Those looking to take a Quetzal get a Tapejara grab a buddy put the Tapejara Infront of the Quetzals head with the Tapejara butt on the head of it. Make sure your buddy is sitting in the backseat so they could fire off! Preferred used tranq darts to get it down faster.
Build a generator, and add an air conditioner next to the driver seat on the platform saddle. You can fly farther north this way and not need to worry about the ice cube.
Formula for KO:
(Lvl. minus 1) x (torp. level up/level) + (torp. for lvl. 1) : (torp. for weapon) = (amount of tranqs needed for KO)
Example: Quetz lvl. 83 Weapon: Tranq dart
82 x 111 + 1850 : 221 = 50 tranq darts
Yes, I know it seem too difficult, but if you have a calculator, then you can also calculate
This works for pretty much every dino that is torpor tamed
Just use a Griffin and follow it around tranqing it, i just tamed a 180 tek quetz and it fell asleep on a perfect mountain!
Oh also bring far more then what dododex says, it told me I had more then enough tranqs but it still didn't go down
Step 1 wait till it lands step 2 use grapple step 3 pray step 4 use truang darts
The red obbelisk is magic bro now i am feas si Ark gigas killer gg
Just use snow owl easy and put dino gate around him
I’ve had most my luck finding them at red obelisk, actually only place I’ve found them,so far I’ve found four of them there,one one time then when I go back after I tame it to look around another has spawn there,and before I tamed one I found two low level ones at the same time.i tamed them using raw meat on a griffin. Using longneck rifle with tranq darts,I had good luck because the Quetzel got knocked out right next to my base.well bye and good luck!
They really like to stick around the redwood area on the island.
PEOPLE have problems from taking their tames back home. Either they die,get stuck or you kill them. But it usually happens cause you are on land. SO? GET a Quetzal and a platform and load up your tame on the platform and BOOM!You,your quetzal and your new tame can get a safe flight back to your base. JUST pump some health and weight.
Good way to tame solo is to sit on the front seat of a tapejara (with not too much melee damage) and set it to attack. Then just aim for it’s head. When it lands, make sure u have spiked walls to surround it as many things will want to eat it. Go for a low level quetzal for ur first one
Take double nay, triple the amount of tranq arrows (if thats what ur using) as half of the shots you take won’t actually hit due to a weird hitbox. Also take excess narcotics as this poor birb gets nightmares and likes to wake up quick!
If you didn't know this already quetzals never land unless there tamed.
To solo take a quetzal I used a snow owl to freeze it midair and then placed stone gates on top of it. From there just knock it out and start taming
Cheat summon quetzal_character_bp_c
After you summon it use forcetame
Only works on console
