Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a quetzal? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a quetzal.
If on mobile kill it make revival platform and build a big box around the revival platform it will get trapped if you revive it #Tamed5LikeThis
I usually see a lot of Quezal’s around the volcano on Ragnarok. For solo taming herd it towards the side of a mountain or just a place where it can get stuck by a lot of rocks (I did the canyon). You can herd it by attacking the Quez once and just let it run away in the direction you want it to, although I’ve heard rare flowers make it follow you but I’ve never tried that. For this I suggest to tame a high level Queztal so it won’t die from your attacks. Mutton is the best after the kibble and you can find ovis’ on the green patch by the scar on Ragnarok (not far from the Queztal spawn) so stock up first. Ovis’ are not directly next to the scar but further into the green land. Good luck!! And if this tip help name your queztal Elvis Pretzel.
Use a tapejara for 2 friends and k.o this sucker
Same with 1 person sitin front and tell it to attack and whistle passive when you get to close
I finally found one of these guys and killed it for their implant.
I started to fly down so I could grab the implant, revive it at my revival platform (Ark Mobile) and tame it there, but I stopped on my way down because I saw a raptor and argentavis eating the body.
Help me I’m so m a d.
I found it easy to use tranq darts and a longneck along with a griffin because you can have a gun out while flying them.
Bring as many tranq darts as possible. The hit box on the quetz is really weird more so if you are on a tapa
It's hard to encounter a lvl 20+ in easy difficulty so good luck in finding a good one.
Mount griffin and chase with crossbow equiped with tranq arrows until it’s out then feed prime or kibble.
If you have two people the best way I’ve found is having somebody on an Argentavis who picks up another tribemate who shoots it with tranq darts
They can be anywhere on the Island so it can take a looooong time to find one, look high in the air, they tend to fly at about the height of a large redwood tree or half the volcano’s height. They seem to be spawn limited at around 2-4 per server so if you keep killing around say, the red obelisk and it isn’t spawning, it’s likely there are already too many wild Quetzals on the map.
Unless you have a Griffin, the easiest way to tame one is to use a Tapejara. Board the passenger seat and use whistles to chase after the Quetz while firing on it with tranqs. Be warned they do tend to fall over hazardous areas so consider bringing a cryopod and kibble to tame the Quetzal fast and store it before something attacks it.
Just use a griffin you can shoot of the griffin and still have control over it when you feel its unconscious and you flying over a trex dont knock it out but if your nice go ahead and give a big meal to that trex oh and final thing bring narcotics 20 to 30 if you wana be extra get like 50
I introduce to you the easiest method of taming a quetzal. Use a wyvern (any kind will do) whistle follow on that wyvern and ride it. Once you find the quetzal, dismount your wyvern and use a harpoon gun and net projectile and shoot the quetzal. Since you whistled the wyvern to follow you, it will not land and will serve as a mid air platform for you. Once you shoot the quetzal with the net, it will fall to the ground and will give you the opening to release a barrage of bullets at it. This is the easiest method I can think of. I would use crystal wyverns as they are basically free wyverns.

Easy way : Bring a harpoon gun with net ammo and BASICALLY Shot the quetzal and make sure it falls in a safe area and then trap it as fast as you can and Tranq it with your ammo of choice and Normal Gates can work and even if it wakes up it shouldn’t be able to escape easily and to net it again you have to De-agro it
Takes over 150 darts to tranq a lvl 90
Harpoon launcher net projectile =op
These things hate meeee,I found one when testing out my new pela ,and I had a bunch of stuff set up and it was right next to my base,so I went to my base ,got everything,then it despawned,IT DESPAWNED.
Easyst way for me: tame a griffin. U can easy shoot from the griffin. Easy quetzal. Look always how much stamina left and look always to the quetzal, sometimes i lost him and never founding.
On mobile,u still can shoot with Tapejara in the air,but u can move back so that’s bad for single player,but at least u still can get it if u have friends to shoot it and tame it
Did you follow the first guide about a tapejara 3 seater and Cant switch seats in PVX? What you need to do for a solo tame is switch the controls from flow to on screen. Then practice jump with a parachute from your tame and switching to grappling hook. If you can do it with a flow control then thats good for you. Once you have grappled your tame then whistle to attack target. It will follow the quetz and you shoot it. I guess the switch seat only works on single player or it just doesnt work now. Dont follow the tapejara method. Wasted engram points on that.
To Tame A Quetzal: 1:Find And Kill Quetzal For Implant (if in mobile) 2:Revive quetzal But make trap first or quetzal will escape 3: use a crossbow and toxicant arrows to knock out 4: Use The right kibble for it If using meat then use soothing balm if no soothing balm then use A LOT OF BIO TOXIN 5: The quetzal is yours now.
