Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a quetzal? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a quetzal.
So what you do is you let your friends do it and wait for it n u got one. Hands down the laziest way to do it like me?
When breeding quetzals make sure to eat one of the eggs, you will not regret it! Mmmm tasty!
The number of Narcs isn't right. I'm taming a 95, it says at 1.5x I'll need 288, but the quetz loses like 9-10 torpedo a second, so with a 1hr 21min tame time and 12284 total torp it's more like 900 narcs.
Don't cry when it dies k guys ;) yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee guys

I'm taming a 140 by myself and have the kibble for it But i would not recommend anything over a 150 if you don't have a partner and be prepared to sit there for a while I'm doing it with 1.5 speeds on public server and been sitting here for 2 hours only 40% (P.S. don't do it in the cold.)
Tamed a level 150 with prime meat and it only got to 163. Disappointed in the app it had been spot on until now.
You need a shocking dart engram, a ptera & some skill. Oh, and a parachute 🪂. Ride on your ptera after the quetzal and hop off with the parachute, whistle follow for your ptera. Shoot the quetz. Reapeat. I shot it in the face a few times next to a rex so it got its due of rockets 🧨 in the face then i shoved some meat 🍖 down the quetzs throat
Anyone know what level mobile players unlock the platform saddle?
Use rare mushrooms and a flyer to lure the quetzal to a premade trap. Try and have the trap secluded and in a higher position so that you aggro less creatures with the mushrooms.
People say they are a difficult solo take but I just got myself one solo. Was on a griffin and kept shooting It down. What’s great about the griffin is that you can also live left and right. Just followed it around until it fell. Thankfully mine fell on a high mountain and it was ok. Super easy, just watch out because if it is going to drop in a dangerous spot....well there goes all ur trans darts
If your on the mobile edition (idk bout ithers im mobile ) just kill it then take its implant and revive it in a revival platform at ur base in enclosed area tame like normal this way you domt have to worry about a giga so to speak eating ur quetz
Taming the quetzal in solo is plain impossible, I wasted over 100 tranq darts flying from ledge to ledge shooting it just so it could de spawn. They definitely have to make the quetzal land once in a while so you can at least trap it
Tame a tapejera and then sit on one of the passenger seats and whistle it up( need to be flying off the ground). Find the queztal once you get next to it whistle passive and continue this process until you knock it out! Good luck taming!!!
The kibble is not right bring more
now, I have seen and read about many ways on taming a quetzal. I am trying to create a compacted tip which shows all of them (or as many as I can remember). since the tips will most likely get very long, I will write down a summary of the tips ingredient requirements, and you can skip to whichever tip you think suits you best:
1) -any k.o weapon which is as good as a crossbow, or better
a parachute
-a structure 3x3x3 in length, with a roof, foundation and walls on only three sides
-any safe area of your choosing
-3 walls
NOTE: this only works with female quetzals
2) -any k.o weapon which is as good as or better than a crossbow
-a tamed pteranodon or tapejara or quetzal
-a revival platform
-construction materials (foundation-walls-roof)
-20 to 40 ancient amber
NOTE: this method is probably the easiest, if you have a lot of patience
3)-any k.o weapon which is as good as or better than a crossbow
-a tapejara or argentavis
-crossbow with grappling hook (only needed for the argentavis method)
-parachute(only needed for the argentavis method)
These are the four methods:
THE FIRST METHOD:
preparation
0. create a 3x3x3 structure (the stronger the better) with foundations, walls and a roof. a 3x3 opening on one of the sides, and a doorframe on the opposite side. make sure your structure is in a safe place
————————
1. find a female quetzal
2. wait for it to lay an egg. don’t let it out of sight.
3. once it lays the egg, pick it up. if it glitches, and does not fall to the ground, fly above the egg, and dismount your flier. it’s the parachute to slow your fall. when the egg comes into range, take it.
4. the quetzal will now aggro onto you. mount your flier again
5. lead the quetzal to your structure, but before entering, dismount the flier. the quetzal should ignore it
the quetzal will try to get in the structure, but it might not manage. It may take a few attempts to get the angle right.
6. when it is inside the box, place one wall in the 3x3 gap. the quetzal will now be trapped. if your structure is made of wood or weaker, you might want to go around the outside of the cage and place the remaining walls in the 3x3 gap
7. NOTE: if your structure is weaker than stone, skip this step.
with the creature now revived, it will be stuck inside the cage. use a bed to skip 7 hours, then return to the cage.
8. if the quetzals head is showing outside the cage, you do not need to go in, you can tranq it from the outside. just make sure to aim for the beak or head. this will make the torpidity go up quicker. do not use tames to knock it out
9. you should be able to k.o it easily, now you can put any type of meat to tame it. If you skipped step 7, you may need to use narcotics.
THE SECOND METHOD:
1. find quetzal
2. using your flier, kill the quetzal. be careful not to harvest the body, or allow other scavengers to take it
3. open the dead quetzals inventory, and take its creature implant. this cannot be taken from an item cache, only from the body itself.
4. the implant will specify the ancient amber cost needed to resurrect it. you need find the amount of amber specified (open rare supply drops)
5. once you have the amber, place the revival platform in a safe area (it can be as far as you want from the place where you found there quetzal)
6. build a perimeter of foundations around the revival platform. make sure there are no gaps around the perimeter
7. build walls on top of the foundation perimeter. this should be 3 walls high. feel free to put a doorframe. (doors are not necessary)
8. finish by adding a roof to your shape. you should be left with a cage of sorts, covering the revival platform
9. open the inventory, and put the creature implant inside, next press (or click) the button revive.
10. with the creature now revived, it will be stuck inside the cage. use a bed to skip 7 hours, then return to the cage.
11. if the quetzals head is showing outside the cage, you do not need to go in, you can tranq it from the outside. just make sure to aim for the beak or head. this will make the torpidity go up quicker. If you are using a tame to knock it out, like the pulmonoscorpius, you may want to do that from inside the cage.
12. you should be able to k.o it easily, now you can put any type of meat to tame it. since it is food bar is depleted, it will eat all the meat without the cool-down time, which means you don’t need narcotics.
THE THIRD METHOD:
1. find quetzal
2. NOTE: skip to step 5 if you are using the tapejara
jump of your flier, then use your parachute to slow your fall
3. grapple onto your flyer
4. keep the parachute, you will need it for later
5. if you are using a tapejara, switch to use the second seat. whistle attack target (the target being the quetzal)
6. use your k.o weapon as much as you can until your flier gets to close to the quetzal, then whistle passive. repeat step 5 until the quetzal is unconscious. feed it any meat to tame c
Easy to tame with a Wyvern. Set it to follow you, and find a Quetz. Then, dismount the Wyvern and shoot. When I gets too far, get back on and follow it. It's very effective and worked well for me. Good luck!
The easiest way to tame these (on mobile) is to tAme some rexes (1 male and female) have them mate if it’s a boy congratulations you now have raw prime meat if it’s a girl when she’s old enough mate her with the male and rinse and repeat and the non mating females should lay eggs
Just bring spike walls. Surround quetz where it drops. Problem solved. Old school day one player here. All problems have answers lol. Like so others see
