Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a quetzal? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a quetzal.
I recommend hopping on a procoptodon super high and chain bola in git and just tranc from the ground
Why does nobody realize the easiest way to tame this is to slap a ballista turret with a chain bola on a paracer and knock it out of the sky
If you are using grapple and parachute method u should use an argy. With another quetzal and a ptera u sometimes ungrapple if this happens to you with an argy to then get grapple very close to the argy preferably as close as you can
I had tek armor and it was pretty easy to knock out
Run and gun shocking darts in their heads
Best taming strategy: grapple to your mates’ argentavis and shoot at it with your crossbow’s tranq arrows
Tame quetz with a quetz trap on a nother quetz
So u should have some grapples and tranq darts and spy glass. Jump off of bird and grapple on real quick. Then shoot the quetzal. Then tell ur bird to follow the quetzal since it flys away but don’t real in stay on ur bird grappled and then start shooting it again until all ur hard work pays off and it’s knocked out. Btw u need to use spy glass to tell ur bird to go at him from farther away.
So to tame it you have to grapple on a argy and then follow it and hit it with darts. I would not recommend useing arrows because you could damage the quetz. Then from there you should know the basics. :)
Freeze it with a snow owl then when it falls trap it with Dino gates
On mobile it should only take about 25 hits with either trank darts or the shocking trank darts i recemend to use shocking because those do more torpor damage so yeh hope this helps ya!
Ok there main spawn points are at the red ob, green on and that beach with the cave on it. GO FOR THE BEACH POINT cuz if you go for red ob they will fly straight to 50-50 witch is a terrible place for it to go down. Carnos, terror birds, dire bears, and kapros.
Idk why but my lvl 45 Quetz took only 5-7 Darts
To solo tame first build a 6x6 trap at the tribute terminal(obelisk) make it 4 wall high use door frames. Then use a flying dino and bring 2 pteranodon with you, then hunt one if you found one order your pteranodon to kill it make sure to turn off their loot victim so the dead quetzal doesn't disappear, if they kill it take its life artifact and bring it to the tribute terminal and it should be trapped in there and knock it out and tame
This is a very annoying dino yo tame but the easiest way to do it is not by hanging to any dino u will hit it but it will not affect it the easiest way to do it is to trap it anyway u can think of
Lvl 18 tamed with 10 rex kibble not 16. So this is a bit off.
If you have a qeztel then you can get on top with or without a saddle and do the move there command
Do The Same Thing With The Argy But Switch The Argy With A Pteranodon. Trust Me!!! I Killed 50 Quetzals With My 250 Ptera It Is Easy
With the introduction of the snow own you cN now solo game a quetz quite easily. Fly above quetz and use freeze bomb to bring it to the ground. While frozen use dino hates to pin it in place.
To solo tame on extinction, have a snow owl, freeze it and keep it frozen, then place a couple dino gates over it. After that just knock it with darts or arrows, tame it with any meat or it’s kibble then pop a saddle on it and enjoy!
