Tips & Strategies
How do you heal a wild quetz that trapped for tanning purposes? Any tips and tricks are appreciated.
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
first TAME griffin or tapejara and tame low level quetzal and second if you tame quetzal buy in store saddle and buy saddle platform or if you have it and you have and build in trap to the platform fly it trap it the quetzal in the trap platform saddle
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!
DO NOT CRYOPOD IT WITH A PLATFORM SADDLE IT DESTROYS YOUR WHOLE BASE AND ALL YOU WORK
Quetz usually spawn at red obelisk, if you don't see one wait a few minutes for t to spawn. If you are looking for a high level kill the lower level one so it another can respawn
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👌
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.
To the guy who gave specific areas to find these guys on mobile, thank you very much. You’re right… that strip of land in front of craggs island, and the spike directly behind the red obelisk. Kill it and take its implant, and revive it on a platform with an enclosure around it. I’m literally doing just that right now. Happy taming! :D
You can use rare flowers to lure the quetzal your taming to a trap and make sure no other dinos are in the area of your trap
Quetzals, one of the best dinos. Quetzals can easily be tamed with a buddy, all you need is a flying dino that can pick up people or has a multi-seat saddle. Load up with the appropriate tranq arrows, narcotics, food and set off across the map to find one. Low levels are brilliant for beginners as they can serve as brilliant carriers due to their high base weight stat. Higher levels however mainly are used as "Battle Quetzals", alongside the high stats it will receive from being tamed, pumping health and melee damage is the way to go. With that being said you'll be able to tank base defences such as PSX and Auto Turrets, aswell as kill dangerous dinos with ease. Maybe either of those don't tickle your fancy, then hey, make a "Party Quetzal"! Strap on some chairs, tables, food and lots more onto the Quetzal's Platform Saddle and hover in the air as you dance to Darude Sandstorm being blasted through someone's mic in game chat. If you can get a quetzal, do consider as they are brilliant!
When you tame a quetzal it will be easier to find one but for those who doesn't know where quetzal its spawn near the red obelisks at the beach or the water i have 5 quetzal hopes this helps
SOLO TAME
Bring:
-5 honey
-4 dinosaur gates
-bird
How:
Put the honey in your hotbar (unstack them, so 1 in each slot)
Fly over him en throw the first honey on it’s body (press the hotkey from the honey and it will throw the honey) It will follow the honey that’s falling. Dino’s on the ground will eat the honey too so keep dropping honey until the quetzal is on the ground eating honey.
Place some dinosaur gates on top of him to get him stuck. Shoot it with tranq arrows and feed some prime meat
Easy solo quatzal tame
Enjoy
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.
I have been looking one for days and when I go to the red obby I find 2 in less then 10 mins so go there and up this
I didn’t have a Tapejara so this method isn’t ideal unless you just can’t find one on the map:
I put a few grappling hooks, parachutes, and tranq arrows in my Argie until I found a Quetzal. At first I tried to grapple the Quetzal (which succeeded AT FIRST) but the moment it began to flee the hook was consumed and I almost died. Instead I grappled my Argie, shot a tranq, and whistled it to attack the Quetzal; as soon as it fled the Argie zoomed after it and the chase was on! Because I was grappled onto my bird close to the feet I had to time the shots just right so that the Argie’s wings didn’t take the arrow during the flying animation. The only downside to this is that there is a chance of the hook breaking if the Quetzal flies into a cliffside and/or corner (parachutes solved this).
Tapejara is the smarter option, but if you want to get nyoomed through the sky while your Argie is in hot pursuit then this method is for you. It can take a few tries but as long as you have more than one parachute to open/close at the right time so you can secure the potential tame from being eaten by carnivores. Shocking darts are the way to go but for those not that far into the engrams, a few dozen tranq darts will suffice provided you make accurate shots. (Also don’t cryo your platform saddled Quetz like I did and be forced to rebuild :/)
Happy Hunting!!!
Where these bois spawn
1) The Red Obelisk and to the left near that Island 🟥
2) The Green Obelisk and near the herbivore Island area🟩
