Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a quetzal? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a quetzal.
Build a generator, and add an air conditioner next to the driver seat on the platform saddle. You can fly farther north this way and not need to worry about the ice cube.
Just use a Griffin and follow it around tranqing it, i just tamed a 180 tek quetz and it fell asleep on a perfect mountain!
Oh also bring far more then what dododex says, it told me I had more then enough tranqs but it still didn't go down
Step 1 wait till it lands step 2 use grapple step 3 pray step 4 use truang darts
Just use snow owl easy and put dino gate around him
Good way to tame solo is to sit on the front seat of a tapejara (with not too much melee damage) and set it to attack. Then just aim for it’s head. When it lands, make sure u have spiked walls to surround it as many things will want to eat it. Go for a low level quetzal for ur first one
Take double nay, triple the amount of tranq arrows (if thats what ur using) as half of the shots you take won’t actually hit due to a weird hitbox. Also take excess narcotics as this poor birb gets nightmares and likes to wake up quick!
If you didn't know this already quetzals never land unless there tamed.
To solo take a quetzal I used a snow owl to freeze it midair and then placed stone gates on top of it. From there just knock it out and start taming
Cheat summon quetzal_character_bp_c
After you summon it use forcetame
Only works on console
Found by red obilisk (upvote so people know)
1. Find a quetzal then jump of your tame and grapel your tame
2. Set your tame to passive
3.whisle your tame to attack my target
4. Then you use your trangs
1. Find a quetzal on a flyer
2. Chase and kill
3. Wait for it to drop to the floor and retrieve it’s implant
4. Enter to revival platform
You now have yourself a quetzal
Holy shit didn’t realise how big they were lol
Simply tell a wyvern to follow you ride on it the shoot it from its back then when it lands kill all carnivores in the area and I'm mean all! Then if you want to be extra safe build some spikes around it.
For all of the mobile players that are saying “just kill it and respawn it in a trap,” you don’t freaking need to say it! Everybody knows that. We only needed one of those tips, not 1000. People can just stop sending those. No offense to you guys, it’s just annoying that half of my tips are just the same one over and over again.
Taming a quetz is one of the most hardest things to do on ark so me and my friends found the most easiest ways to tame one first you need a tappy jara then you need another tribe member and you also need a crossbow and a grapple hook and you need to drive your tribe member close enough to grapple on to the quetz and then you need to trank him out and you got a quetz
Shopping list
1. Tappy jara
2. 2 crossbows
3. grapple hook
4. Franks
5.meat/prime meat/fish meat/kibnle
The only way to tame this beast is to gat a tapera and get passnger and get qurankilers or trank arowws
Super easy tame, simply trap it in air with skiff and stun it. When it faints move skiff little around till it snaps to it, than fly anywhere with it and feed kibble in safe place.
My first quetzals tame didn't take that long all I did was stand on the ground and pump it's butt full of darts and it got down pretty quickly.
I would like to know how all of you find these quetzals, I found one and it escaped cause I ran put of darts, and couldnt find another. GIVE ME YOUR SECRETS!!
Rare flowers make all wild dinos in the area want you dead, use this to lure it into a trap
