Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a quetzal? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a quetzal.
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🟩
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
