How do I tame a quetzal? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a quetzal.
When you knock out a Quetzal build a wooden spike all around it as Carnos and other carnivores will attack it.
on the center when you get a low lvl quetz skip the trap and use platform quetz to hit high level with tranq arrows until he flies into cliff. park your quetz quickly behind it and switch to darts not missing a beat since stoping will allow quetz to turn and escape. every time ive done this the tame usually falls in safe high area
Easy knock out.... fly a wyv next to it quickly jump of shoot with net parachute down. Shoot it in its face until falls asleep. Feel like an ARK God forever.
for single player /solo play get a tapejara, switch seat, shoot, switch seats again, rinse and repeat, make sure to take spikes lots of narcs and food with you. so much easier than messing around with grapple.
Net gun it and build around it so it cant escape and get out. Best way is on gen 2 since u can fly. Or with a griffin or tapejara. But the argie grapple method works too. Good luck!
I found one stuck in a wall on extinction, easiest tame ever
Ride on the back of a griffin and shoot while riding. This is how I tame my quetzals.
For those who have potato phones don't try to tame this guy using the argy method it's a waste of time because of the frame drop and it gonna cost alot of darts/tranq cus you gonna keep losing your shot so just kill this guy and get the implant.
To tranq it solo it is easy to just jump of of your flyer and shoot a netprojectile at it and build gates above it so it can't escape
Why does everyone do this the hard way? The easiest way is to tame up a griffin, (you can shoot from it) fly to one an knock it out!
Easiest way to tame it make a harpoon gun and some nets then net the quetzal out of the air and knock it out
Wait till it’s at half before you feed it… otherwise have fun waiting
Just shoot the quetz with a netprojectile and lock it up in small Dino gates, knock it out and tame it
These days it's so easy to tame Quetzal, u just need harpoon launcher, net projectile, some dino gates(any variant will work) and your flyer that u can shoot from(griffin or tapejara).
1. Find your self a Quetzal that u like to tame ( watch where is he flying, because if he is over dangerous place it will die)
2. Get on your flyer
3. Come close to Quetz and shoot the net on him
4. Watch where he fall down and place dino gates(one on his neck, his feet and the middle of his body, u can add some more if u think it will help)
5. Now u can tranq it
And What next u know.
There are 3 ways to knock out a quetz in single player. 1 grapple onto your argy and whistle attake target onto the quetz the Argy is slow so won't catch up and attach the Argy. Tranq the quetz walst dangling below the argy.2 tame a Griffin. Griffin s are the only flying tame were you can shoot of the back off walst riding.(this is how I tamed my 180 Tek quetz.3 this is for gen2 players (or people with Tek suits) only. Follow the quetz walst flying with a Tek suit and trank until knocked. Hope this helps :)
Hop on a tapejara front passenger seat get it to attack the quetz and tranq it try and use tranq darts instead of arrows when the tapejara gets to point blank range set it to passive and continue tranqing it will flee towards the redwoods and black sands area so have about 15 wooden spike walls and or a cryopodded decent carnivore ( thyla rex spino allosaurs etc )
Just give it some prime meat or it’s kibble have some narcotics just in case and you just need to wait and by god kill all the carnivores nearby and watch out or your taming effectiveness is ruined
If you find one use a long neck rifle and you’ll need a a lot of tranq darts over 40 most likely
If you are having trouble finding one, go near the red obelisk and press tidy save on mobile wait a few minutes and one will pop up 95% of the time.
Quetz+(harpoon gun+net projectile)= PROFIT
The sinomacrops meathod seem easiest, except for quetz trap. Tame sino and ptera fly around to find on ptera, glide and shoot with sino. Once down build spike walls around him to protect from compys. Obtain and feed mutton in timely manner.
