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.

Easy solo tame:

Get on a Tapejaras front seat as soon as you find a quetzal and make it attack the quetz. The quetz is a bit faster, but he will fly in curves so the Tapejara can easely follow it. Just tranq it with your crossbow/rifle as you can shoot from the front…

If you have two people have one riding an argentavis and the other being carried or grappled on to the argentavis and then shot at the quetzal while the other flies towards

If you are gonna use commands that will stop the high level alpha rex that you dropped your quetzal onto killing it then make sure you aren’t aiming at your current dinos hitbox, I lost a lvl 180 tapejara that way. Also if no mutton or Rex kibble is available just use prime…

If you have a fast enough flyer fly to a snowy mountain and wait for a bit when found get a tribe/alliance mate to fly and you grapple hook the. bird and shoot him with traunqs and use anything but cooked fish meat 😛

Have your friend pick you up with a argentavis when you are on a spider. Then proceed to web the quetzal and shoot at it with tranq darts or arrows

For solo taming these guys without a quetz cage a Griffin is a life saver!

solo tame with tapejara. sit on frontseat give your tape whistle commands. attack until hes close, then passive, shoot, repeat

My method is using a good tapejara and boarding the front seat, shoot it while whistling move here/attack this target. Just be cautious about predators nearby, I have my super trike set on neutral and follow so I don’t die to the odd red that comes by

My bests strategy is to go to the red obelisk and wait a bit but I recommend to get a chain bowler and then fly on a argy set it to passive then wisile attack target and then get out your long neck and shoot tranqs into its face

Really easy to tame solo if you use a Griffin (Extra words)

Used my wyvern to get on top of when it was low to the ground. The wyvern kind of choked it out and holds it stuck in place while you unload tranq darts into it. Good luck xD

If you have a tapajera with a three person saddle you can hop on the tapa fly it around until you find a quetzal and shift to the front seat tell your tapajera to "move to" the quetzal and when it gets close enough shoot the quetzal with a tranquilizer dart and repeat…

If first time quetz taming use friend with a high stamina army and get your friend to pick you up and knock out the quetz however if it gets knocked out over the side of volcano or mountain it is 95% properly gonna die. Your best bet is to try and stay away from mountains and…

Eat a rare flower near him then land and shoot him, be careful though.

Use a Tapejara, land near the Quetzal and get on the front seat. Use LB + down arrow and make the Tapejara fly to your command. You'll fly faster on attack target just make sure to click another area before it bites the Quetzal. This method does not use any of the…

Unless you're using a Quetzal trap, assume only body shots will register.

Tame a griffin first, make sure it has good stamina, then you can fly and shoot tranq arrows into quetz and tame solo. Easy peasy.
