Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a quetzal? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a quetzal.
On mobile all you need to tame this is a parachute, tranquilizer darts, a gun to shoot them and a tapiijara set on aggressive with you in the passenger seat, once you knock the quetzal out jump off with a parachute and tame them.
Everyone uses tapejaras, but real men stand on top of a griffin on aggro 🥹
If on ragnorock you can lead to the snow biom and it should be lower to the ground then if you can jump on its back and shoot it like crazy with tranq darts it’ll knock out and you’ll have yourself a quetzal (mine got stuck on a rock)
Having a good farming Quetzal and a good War Quetzal is a game changer! For ur 1st Quetzal I would get a low lvl Quetzal using Tapejaras or Argys and hold someone with the Argys feet to shoot traq darts at the Quetzal. Than use ur low lvl Quetzal to build a trapper to get higher lvl Quetzals!!!
You can either use three tactics:
1: if u have an argy level it's speed up to 120+ and grapple
2: sit on the passenger seat and shoot it darts until knocked
3: the easiest way is getting a griffin since u can use weapons on em
Use a balm and rex kibble, exceptional kibble or mutton for taming and bring bio toxins
Gen2 taming quetzals are easy . Fly above them with a tech suit And longneck and hope they don’t land in water
Get a tapajara and target it. Get your tranq darts and start shooting it. Then feed it prime meet and you have yourself a quetzal
If you got a big brain like some youtubers use a tapejara or a griffin since you can whistle agro on a quetz in the passenger seat. Then get dem tranqs are start shooting it tell its nocked. If its in a dangerous area put metal or wood spikes around it deppending on the area.
How Long do Quetzals Take to respawn After Last Kill?
If the quetz knock out in the water just use a horse and a load so to get it out up so more quetzals don’t die
I really recommend killing the Quetzel grabbing it’s in plant and reviving it at a revival platform but make a trap around the revival platform then it’s super easy to tame it this only works for mobile though
Get a griffin and tranq it out off the back of it
How I tamed a Quetzal is by using a Tapejara and while on the passenger seat set it to attack the Quetz and fire tranqs at it also, when its knocked out bring a parachute with you because you can't change to driver side while in passenger.
Putting it to sleep with Tapejaras is the easy part. The hardest part is to get it to land on safe grounds when it collapses. Almost anything can kill it if ur area is not good.
People making this complicated, one word. Net
Try to tame a low level one and save up for a platform saddle and make a quetzal trap then find another and damage it and ease it in for easy quetzals
I highly recommend taking a equus before hand. If the quetz lands in water, you can use the lasso to drag it out.
Tame strat!
Step 1: Grapple on
Step 2: tranq it
Step 3: when its knocked out parachute down
Step 4: feed
MAKE SURE YOUR REVIVE TRAP IS VERY SECURE
