Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a quetzal? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a quetzal.
Build a ramp on the side of the platform saddle and park an anky on the edge of the ramp. Fly to your favorite metal node farming spot with your tribe and let them just swing away. The anky's weight doesn't affect the quetz's weight.
Knocking Out: To knock out a Quetz, best idea you can do is be carried by a Argie, people say Ptera but I prefer not since it's feet can easily be shot by the arrow, and keep on targeting the head. Remember to put speed up for Argie as the Quetz have a decent speed on their hands. You can also use another Quetz with a platform, but this is only if you do not own another one.
Knocking it out: First, you will need an argey, 2 crossbows, parachutes, tranqs, and grappling hooks. Fly up to the quetz with the argey, hop off with parachute, make sure argey is following you,grapple to it then whistle attack target on the quetz, then when you get close enough to shoot it with a tranq arrow, whistle passive then shoot, quickly whistle attack target on the quetz because it will flee far and fast. Repeat this until it is successfully knocked out.
Use a tapejara to tame, simply get a friend with tranqs to sit on the front seat and shoot it while the driver follows it.
Have one of your tribe members pick you or another person up while holding a crossbow/rifle then simple have the flyer fly over the quetzal and shoot at it till KO'ed
If your alone do the same thing except use a grappling hook and connect to your flyer of choice and whistle the flyer to attack my target while aiming at the quetzal and whistle stop all when in shooting distance of the quetzal
Why dont everyone talks about the griffin method. If u are in late game and ur quetzal died. Use a griffin to knock it out. Since griffins are fast and u can use either a longneck or crossbow to tame it. It may not sound fun but trust me. Works everytime. Hope this helps
You can use a rare flower and a birdcage trap in order to tame. Use 4 behemoth gateways and 2 gates, line them up like you would an argy trap, use the flower next to the Quetzal when it flies close to something like a mountain, or use it on the back of a flyer, and lead it into the trap just like you would an argy.
Net gun it out of sky trank it to unconscious then put meat in Inventory then wait
In ark I am in the middle of taming a pretzel lol but since a low level (no offense) can’t tame one because they don’t know how or don’t have a tapejara you should probably be a minimum of level 55 to tame one. Anyway, … what were we talking about? Oh ya, a pretzel. Anywayyyyy, you need a Three saddled Tapejara a bunch of narcotics(or any other narcotics) and a bunch of meat just in case you should probably go to the big red floating stone thing off to the bottom left beach area of the map or you can just see it from the other half of the world but fly there with your tapejara. There shou,d be Pretzels there and I would recommend getting a girl. You come close to the Pretzal WITH your tapejara try to switch seats(in the front seat) and target the pretzel then get a crossbow loaded with a tranq arrow ready and shoot it. When it is over water and you think you have shot it like 28 times wait until it gets over land and then shoot it some more. Make sure your tapejara doesn’t do that much damage to it. When it falls follow it, shove the stuff into it’s inventory, spawn your strongest tames, and tame it. My rule is NEVER LET THE UNCONSCIOUS LEVEL GET HIGHER THAN YOUR TAMING LEVEL:)
Single Player:
.Get Tapejara
.Grab Longneck with 100 tranq darts or use bow with 200 hundred tranq arrows
.Use Prime meat or kibble and soothing balm if you have one
Multiplayer:
.Have Pt with good weight and pick up your friend
.Have tranqs or darts and repeat last 2 tips on single player tips
How to tame a Quetzalcoatlus/z
1.Make Tranq darts that are more than 20 and 30
2.Repair your longneck if its trash or if it has low durability
3.Go explore with your Griffin or Argie (If you have Argie craft grappling hooks and a crossbow) Dont explore the populated areas where lots of common creatures spawn (The Quetz only spawns in Red obelisk,Redwoods,Low spawn rated places,Etc)
4.Knok The Quetz with Griffin or Argie (Grapple the Argie so you can still stay in the air then whistle your Argie to fly to the Quetz then set it to passive then shoot and repeat this process if its far from you 'till its KO'd
5. When KO'd feed it Rex kibble like about x3 or x4.If its not enough and if your almost out of Rex kibble, use a Soothing balm (It will take about atleast 5 Mins below)
6.Wait for it to be tamed
Congrats!!!!🎊🎊🥳🥳🎉🎉 You have tamed a Quetzal!
NOTE:⚠️THIS IS ONLY FOR EASY MODE IN ARK MOBILE⚠️
TY for reading my guide :)
I did a lot of reasearch here so pls respect :)
Anyone who wants to ride a tamed but no saddle complete tame quetzal and u get a saddle i got journey man after tame quetz its tame titano
just make a trap with 3 bahemoth gates like a huge argie trap and lure it in with rare flower
You have to use darts for this Dino, or else it will die.
If you use an owl and freeze it in the air, you can trap it with gates, and it cant flu away
Make a thatch platform 2 or 3 high and surround it with thatch but make sure you can still shoot it and make sure to put a revival platform in the center kill your quetzal take its implant and revive it. It worked for me every time just make sure you have amber, narcotics and a tranquilizer dart in a gun easy peasy and you can let it sit there if you need to get more stuff
Switching seats on a Tap and doesn’t work on mobile. I just grappled onto a argy and shot it out of the air. Don’t deploy a parachute beforehand though because it takes forever to get to the ground. Release the grapple, then deploy the parachute. I learned that the hard way.
I cant find one help. Please I really want one help me.
