Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a quetzal? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a quetzal.
Use a Tapejara to tame them go to passenger seat and shoot them with Trank darts it’ll take like 30
ONLY WORKS WITH GOD CONSOLE
Get a high lvl and KO it. (Knock out) start spamming level up target on god console and it makes it go quicker. CAUTION be careful of the torpor drop. It goes from full to very empty very fast
The Tapejara trick works by siting on the back and attacking the quetzal. Also make sure your Tapejara doesn’t hit it to much so it doesn’t die like mine did
Just shoot with Chianti’s bola form pararacer platform saddle the knock it boom
For frist tame better find the lower lvl, after that u can put trap on it and trap higher lvl,
Use a few Rare Flower to get it mad at you and to make it follow you into a trap(make sure to build one preahead of time) close the trap and start hitting it with some sort of tranqs.
Formula for KO:
(Lvl. minus 1) x (torp. level up/level) + (torp. for lvl. 1) : (torp. for weapon) = (amount of tranqs needed for KO)
Example: Quetz lvl. 83 Weapon: Tranq dart
82 x 111 + 1850 : 221 = 50 tranq darts
Yes, I know it seem too difficult, but if you have a calculator, then you can also calculate
This works for pretty much every dino that is torpor tamed
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
I don’t know why they say it’s hard I killed my (on accident) and then used a reviving platform with a thach structure around it and had it enclosed on top and then Knocked it out and tamed it
Okay so if you see that they spawn near the obelisk don’t get me wrong but that’s not the only place the other place is in the mountain near the redwoods. I have 5 now since that I started doing that. It became so much easier I have 3 griffins, 5 quetzals, 2 mosasaurus, and 1 plesiosaur I used to have 3 gigas but I killed them. Also one last thing, make shocking tranq darts it’s much easier with a griffin.
Just find a quez at red obelisk 🔺
Or at green🟩

Don’t harvest it⛏
Take its implant💠
Have about 25-30 amber🔸
