How ARK players tame and knock out the Quetzal: what to feed it, what to knock it out with, and how to keep it safe.

To get a starter Quetzal, set up three behemoth gates front to back with a bit of space between them. Give the one in the front and the one in the back doors and keep on of them closed. Find a Quetzal and eat a rare flower to get it to aggro on you and run into the gates. It…

If the quetzal flies into the redwoods, don’t give up on it. Fly above the trees and shoot the quetzal, try to scare it out if you can.

I tame them solo all the time. On ragnorok get a griffen and pump stam. On the griffen you are able to use a crossbow while flying. It will take practice but can be mastered. Bring fur armor in case it goes in murder snow area along with camp fires or build them there. And hide…

Just grappling hook onto an argentavis or other bird if you choose, use whistle commands to attack to get close, and passive before your bird attacks it. Shoot some tranqs, repeat. Be patient. Solo tamed several now.

Bring some crossbows, tranq arrows, 2 argees, a second survivor, and some narcotics for an emergency. Have you or the second player ride the argee and pick up the other, once out of stamina hop on the other argee and tranq the quetz, if out of stamina again then get on the…

I solo tame them using my griffen and shock darts.

If using the taming trap method, be VERY CAREFUL if you try to land it. I went very slightly too fast and my quetzal fell out of the trap and it lost over 70% effectiveness while my quetzal and I tried to fend off a bunch of daedons. I left it for dead when the direwolves came.

Another way to knock out the quetzal is to grapple on to it and shoot it with tranq arrows or tranq darts.

The quetz does not get affected by rare flowers so it makes them hard to take

On Ragnarok, quetzals are easily solo tamed with a griffin. Just pump stamina and unload your darts.

Griffin = quetz ez way to tame.

Find a low level one for your first tame and use a tapejara’a passenger seat to get in close and shoot it down. Have an argy on follow and then use it to go get prime if you haven’t brought kibble or mutton. Then get a platform saddle and make a trap to get another, better…

Beast way to solo tame is by taming a Griffin first on Ragnorok, then level until you have at least 1000 Stam. When this is achieved you can tranq the quetzal solo on the Griffin easy. Best way to get a quetz early days, can tame a level 50 Griffin easy
