Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a quetzal? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a quetzal.
If your looking to tame (or kill) a quez than simply use a grappling hook to stay next to the quez, then just knock it out. When it's knocked out it will fall so bring a parachute.
The Easiest Way Of Taming Quetzals is The following Below!
Tapejara: Have a Friend In The Front Or Back Shooting It.
Pteranodon: Have a Friend Pick You Up And Shoot It.
Argentavis: Have a Friend Pick You Up And Shoot It.
Quetzal: Either Use a Platform And Build a Quetzal Catcher Or Have a Friend Sit On The Quetzal With a Normal Saddle And Shoot It.
Since the tapejara was added, this is the best dino to tame a quetzal with. Have a friend board the front seat and shoot the quetz. Tranq darts are best, but tranq arrows will do too. Once it's KO put spike walls around it and tame it!
No idea why people want to whistle their flyers to attack the quetzal when you can literally just go as close as you can to the quetzal you wanna tame on a tapejara and then hop in a passenger seat and whistle it to follow you. This way it will literally just hover in the air and you can tranq the quetzal from there. If it goes out of range just jump in the rider seat and move closer. Keep doing this until you knock it out.
You can still use the methods where you’ll set a flyer to attack the quetzal, grapple it (or tapejara passenger) and then tranq it but if the quetzal isn’t a high enough level that method might get risky due to hp and torpor stuff. It still works just fine but my method completely avoids unnecessary damage to the quetzal so it may be safer.
Good luck, survivor!
I just hopped on top of my wyvern and whistled it towards it I was on my way to find a megatherum easy easy wyvern
To tame a quetzal you need grapling hooks parachutes and an argy whistle the argy to attack the quetzal grapple on your argy and tranq the qetzal
Fire the balls in the titanosaurs jaws
What i did was killed the quetzel and spawned it on the green oblisk and then trapped it using gates and wallah!!. You got a quetzel in just 5minutes
Everyone is thinking harder, but not smarter. When you encounter a quatzel (especially when you’re not ready) kill it. Go to it’s dead body and retrieve its implant. There, go to one of those pillars in the air (recommend the green one) after going back to base and preparing a bunch of darts/tranqs and what you’ll shoot them from. Then get some thatch foundations, walls, and roof. In the middle of the beam of light in the pillar, make a decent sized ‘+’ symbol with the middle part free from thatch. Make sure the walls reach three walls in height and cover it all up with a roof. Be sure you’re inside too when you sealed all exits. Once you’re done and ready, resurrect it. (Note: it will take up to 20+ Ancient Amber for a low level so I recommend stocking up) It will glitch, but as long as the main body portion is in the trap, you’re good. If not; planB. Hit it with the tranq and it should go down in less than 30 hits. I also recommend using a soothing balm to speed things up. Good luck!

Taming quetzals in ark mobile is such a pain. Don’t let it fall in the red woods cause you know if you know

These things take SOOO MUCH tranqs to take down and they barley even land and when your trying to net it on a flying animal 80 percent of the time you net your animal instead of the quetzal and also they break of their nets in 24seconds so bring lots of nets and tranqs!
Have a friend carry you on a fast mount with high stam. If you're solo, you can't do this without a griffin.
The easiest way to tame on on solo is to fly up to it and jump off your mount and immediately equip a parachute and then grapple onto your tame and then kill it and get back on your tame and fly to the ground to get it's implant.
I'm pretty sure the strange sandy mounds on the beach at cragg's island near the red obelisk are quetzal nests or something because I've seen quetzals literally just suddenly spawn right out of the ground on them!
Wait for it to land and quickly build around it. It stuck so u can trank it for days
Since Dododex calculates a bit off, here is the formula for KO:
(Level minus 1) times (torpor/lvl.) plus (lvl. 1 torpor) divided by (number of torpor for weapon)
Ex. Quetz: Lvl. 150 Weapon: Shock tranq
(149) times (111) plus (1850) divided by (442) plus (1850) equals (41.6, but let it be 42)
Yes, it may seem difficult, but it works on pretty much any torpor tamed Dino, just adjust the values
Updoot, so everybody can see including Dododex
Impossible to tame in single player without cheating.
Get dodo arrows and shoot the quetzal into a trap easy might need 2 or 3 if it’s low only on ark mobile I think
