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.

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)

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 🥰=😵

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
