How do I tame a quetzal? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a quetzal.
Cheat summon quetzal_character_bp_c
After you summon it use forcetame
Only works on console
Use the net gun on one and then build a trap around it. Easy as that
You will need:
3 dodo arrows (to Argo it on you)
500 biotoxin (if taming without balm) and 100 if using a balm.
4 dinosaur gates
A lot of raw meat
About 100 tranq arrows
First of all, set up 3 dinosaur gates in a square shape.
Now, find your quetzal, and hit it with 1 dodo arrow until it chases you. When it starts to chase you, quickly lead your quetzal to the trap and trap it. As soon as your quetzal is trapped, put the last dinosaur gate right behind the quetzal, to stop it from moving quickly. Now, knock it out.
Very easy to tame if you can get yourself a griffin
While I’ve never managed to tame one personally despite my efforts, I think I have a general idea of how these guys are tamed. The Quetzal taming process is divided into sections called “Stages”. I am doing this to make it easier to understand.
Stage 1: “The Prep Period”
As it’s name suggests, during Stage 1 you will be making preparations for the initial taming procedure. These preparations are no easy feat, so be careful. You will want to do the following:
-Gather biotoxin to keep the Quetzal asleep (ideally with a Spino for melee damage and for luring Cnidaria to shore easily)
-Gather meat (and prime meat, if possible) for the actual taming procedure.
-Ensure you have tranq darts and their respective weapon (Longneck Rifle I think? Correct me if I’m wrong). If you do not
Taming:
Get any level of lymantria (saddle not needed)
Whistle the lil limmy in the air and grapple it
Whistle it aggressive on the quetzal (they don’t do damage, and their moth poison slows the quetzal down significantly)
Tranq out the quetzal
Put spikes round it and give it its kibble mutton or prime
Enjoy your new skybase (level weight stamina and health)
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🟩
Kill It 🗡
Don’t harvest it⛏
Take its implant💠
Have about 25-30 amber🔸
Build an 8’8 box 📦
Revive it 😇
Knock it out 💤
Use Rex kibble or exceptional kibble or prime meat 🥩
Put its saddle on and ride it 🦖
Love it till it dies 🥰=😵
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
Get onto a crystal wyvern and feed it crystals from it's back, once tamed, set to follow and when you find a quetz, get off the wyvern, you should be on it's back. From there you should shoot it, get back on the wyvern, and chase it. Repeat this process until tranced out.
