Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a quetzal? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a quetzal.
Can u use a rare flower to get it to follow u or will it run away
If you have a griffin or tapejara taming it isn't a problem its just a matter of finding one on mobile its one of the more rare creatures I would say near red, green and blue obelisk you will have the most chance of finding one.
I used a tapejara .set it on follow.Then it won't go down
This solo knock out strategy is better than the grapple hook ones. So, all you need is:
-A Tapejara with a saddle
-Crossbow or Gun with tranq arrows/darts
-And of course taming food
-Just in case, bring some parachutes
So, after locating your Quetz, board the front seat of the Tapejara (passenger) and whistle 'attack this target' on the Quetzal. If it's too far, whistle attack on other creatures until it's airborne. When it is, whistle "move here" in the air, so you can follow the Quetzal without harming it. While you chase it you can tranq it down with AIMING! And you can control your Tapejara easily. Boom.
*Make sure the Quetzal lands somewhere safe
If ur on mobile just tame a low level tapejara and gen on the pssager seat.Put the tapejara to atack and it will never catch up (if u leveled the tapejara speed just wistle passive and then atack again only if u think. the tape will kill it) One more important tip bring spike walls they are cheap and do a good job at keeping it safe. Also bring narcotis or biotoxin bc it has fast torpor drain
Use a tape jars and a tribe mate use a net after attacking it into a safe area go down and trank it in the head then feed exceptional kibble congratulations you have a flying fortress
If on mobile I recommend use a griffin because you can use weapons on its back if you can't take a griffin use a tapjara it's saddle has a backseat you can use weapons just make sure you keep it on follow so it doesn't land and whistle it to attack the Quetzal if the tapjara gets to close for comfort to the Quetzal whistle passive then continue until it's out cold
Using raw meat and raw prime meat but they're hard to find
Net Gun with at least 20-30 nets. Head shots with high damage% dart gun. Bring Narcotics, Metal spikes, and a lawn chair. This is gonna take a min.
Easiest way for solo tame is with a Griffon.
You could easily knock one out riding on the back of a desmodus, with good aim and control of your mount that is.
-My first tip
-How to get a high level quetzal on ark mobile
1) First, go to red obelisk and find a quetzal. then if it's a low level, then attack it and let it fly away of render distance
Fly some distance from red obelisk
Then open settings and click tidy save option
It will spawn a new quetzal
Beware :( All creatures not tamed will despawn )
2) Use this trick to find a high level quetzal Then tame it with a tapejara, Use the passenger seat ( Make sure the tapejara is followin you) Then whistle attack target the quetzal then use crossbow or longneck to knock it down, then tame it...
Quick tip : (it will deaggro if it is not rendered)

To tame a quetz, you need longneck rifle, tapejara.
Find the quetz you want in red obilisk,
seat in the passenger seat in the tapejara,
Shot the quetz the best rifle or your crossbow,
Be careful if you drop the quetzal in a alpha creature, giga, swamp, water then go home and give up.
I’m seeing comments about stuff like riding a tapejara and whistling it but legit just net gun it or freeze it with a snow owl and then trap it while it’s frozen
Easy way to tame this big guy is kill it and take the implant and revive under a cage in oblisk it take around 45amber to revive just a choice if u suck at arge grabling wishile taming method like me
Yo, I’m on mobile, and my quetzal disappeared into oblivion. Like, I can’t request him or unclaim him in the tame menu. Does anyone know how I can get him back?
Looking for a Quetzal to tame? Go to red obelisk me and my cousin found 11 over there.

i whistled and only one creature that i know of was around me, but 2 creatures heard it!!
she might be close by!!
Just use rare flower and attract it to a trap, pretty simple yeah?
A fun way that I found to tame one of these:
What you need:
* an argy or PT
* some parachutes
*harpoon gun (w/net Projectile)
*tranq darts/shocking tranqs
Since these guys don't like to land, I found this strategy to be pretty affective for taming. I guess you could also wait for the quetzal to get a little too close to land, but that could take a while. Just find a quetzal, then fly a little bit over it with your flyer. (Make sure your flyer is set to follow you so it's not stuck high up in the air if you miss the first time.) Then you jump off your flyer, use a parachute to get closer, and then hit the quetzal with the net projectile. In my experience, the quetzal shouldn't take fall damage from the fall. Then all you have to do is float down to where it fell, tranq it out and tame! Easy as pie.
