Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a quetzal? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a quetzal.
If you use a tapejara to follow and knock out the quetzal you have to whistle follow or else when you switch seats you’ll descend instead of staying in the air
Just use a rhynio, as you can shoot off the back of it.
Don’t need to mess around with argys and grappling hooks, just raise yourself a rhynio and you’ll find your life on ark gets a lot easier.
Why do these guys always knock out and fall near carnos, raptors and sabers
Tame tapejara. Jump in front seat on the ground. Use " go to this area" button to get air born. Comma on pc I think. I tell mine to chase other fliers. It takes a few tries. Use same button to direct tapejara to quetzal. I used tranc darts. And raw prime meat. Got lucky and killed some carnos next to him when he went down. I was level 90 ish and he was level 7 or 8. Took about 10 darts and maybe 15 minutes with the prime meat. Bring narco and be ready to kill anything around where he lands. He is a game changer. Once you have him tamed make platform saddle and use him to tame more.
If you don't have tapejara, you can craft parasutes, jump of a pteranodon or argentavis use parasutes and shooting in quetz(easy to do on mobile version of ark)
I think it is good to tame the lowest lvl you can find then give it a platform saddle and then tame you high lvl
If you are looking to tame a Quetzal, you need a good lvl TapeJara and a buddy to shoot at the Quetz. I recommend using tranq darts because otherwise you will need a lot of arrows.
Net projectile+gateway = easy tame
Just hop on any flyer, then jump use parachute, shoot the net then put the gateway wait till the net is gun then shoot it with your tranq or darts
I think an easy way of knocking these out is to ride a griffin because u can use weapons on the back of it also be careful before u knock it out and be aware of the surroundings
If you knock out in water use a horse and a lasso and lasso the quetz and if this helps like so more people can see it
Wont get angered by rare flower
Be careful taming a quetz in a catcher while still in the air. The tame moves a little bit and can push you out.
If your on crystal isle and your soloing it here's a good trick I used, first tame yourself a moth get a couple of parachutes and grappling hooks and your preferred amo with weapon, once you found one you like fly next to the quetzel and hop off the moth and grabbling hook it (dont forget parachute incase) and whistle it to attack quetzel the moth doesnt do damage but instead will slow it down for it bit while you shoot at it from below. This helped me tame it without having to whistle passive, attack target repeatedly.
Hope this helps
Just use a Griffin if your able to tame a Griffin
Be careful taming these, they have a glitch that makes them go to coordinates 50 50 when high torpor,
50 50 on the island is the redwoods,
50 50 on Ragnarok is murdersnow,
50 50 on the center I'm not totally sure,
50 50 on velguero is in the lake I think,
And 50 50 on extinction is the safest, in sanctuary city.
If you're taming on Gen2, just follow it until it's over a mountain. Net it down at mountain peaks, where danger dinos don't spawn
This is for a quick and kind of ez tame for mobile players (i recommend longneck with darts)
1st step Tame a Tapejara (i recommend to level it up first and put some speed)
2nd step look for a quetzal (bring soothing balm and rex kibble for easier tame)
3rd step after u found a quetz, save your game in one of the save slots (mobile only i think)
4th step whistle the tapejara to attack & change to the passenger seat
5th step tame
(Bring some prime if your taming a highlevel or more kibble)
Everyone uses tapejaras, but real men stand on top of a griffin on aggro 🥹
The easiest way to tame for mobile players is to kill it take its implant make a revival platform build a thatch house around the platform res pawn it knock it out give it meat give it a saddle and if you made the house right when you ride the quetzal he will tellport through the ceiling
tame a Griffin and find a high level Quezal and K.O it and tame it if it land in the red wood make spike wall don't use tapejara i try that aint work if you are reading this good luck tame a Quezal Thanks.
