I found out the hard way that the quetz is a huge pain to tame with any methods 🙄 I did use one method that worked perfectly while only wasting a few ambers for mobile players at least. So... what you do is kill a high lvl quetz, take its implant, build a roofed structure about 4 stories high around a revival platform and revive the quetz. Then you can just tranq it easily without going to through all the pains of trying to track one down

These guys are actually semi easy to tame. You will need, harpoon launcher, high dmg longneck, multiple net projectiles (in case you miss), manny tranks bullets, narcotics, and food. First hit it with the net gun then shoot it in the head untill it knocks out, then pump it full of taming food and narcotics, then enjoy your new quetz! (Tip, tame a low lvl one first)

Spread the word!!

heres a good and best way(Ark mobile)....if you unlocked a pursuit/task that requires taming a quetzal....accept it and theres an arrow that will point into a quetzals location then after that just do the basics(knock it out and feed it) after you knock it out end the pursuit because you will need that to tame another quetzal.....if youre quetzal is tamed leave it on a place where there is no predator after that accept the pursuit again and it will pinpoint you again to another quetzal..…and tadaaa you got mulyi quetzal to carry quantities of resources you gathered......now to tell you the bad thing......I I DONT KNOW IF THIS WORK......THIS JUST COME UP TO MY MIND.....press arrow if thui works on you

Despite never having managed to tame one of these, I think I know how it goes down. To make it easier to understand, I have divided this tutorial into segments called “Stages”.

Stage 1: The Prep Period

As it’s name suggests, during this Stage you will be preparing for the initial taming procedure by gathering resources and readying creatures. During this period, you will want to do the following:

-Gather biotoxin (preferably via a Spino for melee damage and to easily lure the Cnidaria to shore for easy killing. If a tamed Spino is not available, get them to notice you and then get to shore and snipe them with a crossbow). This is to keep the Quetzal asleep, as I didn’t realize how fast their torpor drops.

-Gather meat (and prime meat, if possible) for when you are actually taming the Quetzal. A Spino or Therizinosaurus up against some Paraceratherium may prove vital in earning enough meat, assuming the tamed creature in question can both take a beating, and DELIVER a beating.

-Ensure that you have tranq darts and their respective weapon (regular tranquilizer arrows won’t work because A. a bow may miss a lot, and B. Quetzals have a high torpor cap and an apparently quick torpor drain.) If you do not have these, ensure to stock up.

-Get your Tapejara ready (ensure it is on max hunger and is wearing a saddle). If you have multiple Tapejara and only one saddle, find the Tapejara who is currently wearing the saddle, take it from him/her, and put it on your primary/strongest Tapejara (Specifically health, speed and stamina are your friends in this situation).

Stage 2: Search and Attack

During this Stage, you will be in the air on your Tapejara (or Quetzal if you already have one) in a one-sided mid-air shootout. You will want to do the following once you have located a Quetzal:

-Switch to the front seat on your Tapejara and whistle to Target the Quetzal. Have your Tapejara set to follow so that it doesn’t try to land once it realizes that it is without a driver. Then whistle passive when you are getting too close (wild Quetzals are friendly, so don’t worry). This is done to preserve the stamina of your Tapejara.

-Ensure your ranged weapon is loaded with tranq darts, and shoot the Quetzal. Once it gets hurt, it will get scared and will overreact for a second, usually fearfully cawing at you as it does so. This might give you some time to sneak a few extra darts in. It will then sprint forward while looking back to ensure that you aren’t getting closer. Wait until it is out of render range, and then follow it. When you get close again, it will not be scared anymore. Rinse and repeat until unconscious.

Stage 3: Quetzal Protection

Once the Quetzal is unconscious, things apparently start to get heated. Not only do you have a somewhat quick torpor drain to work with, but you are also dealing with a creature that needs to be unconscious when taming but is also vulnerable to predators when unconscious that it normally would not be. Given these circumstances you will likely want to do the following:

-Build a fortification around the now sleeping Quetzal to give predators a harder time getting to it. If you have too few resources for this to be an option, then feed the Quetzal until it has eaten once. Once it has eaten, you and your tamed creatures will no longer be able to hurt it, so now you can summon one of your tamed creatures, for instance a Bronto, for guard duty. This will ensure that you are able to defend the Quetzal without having to worry about man-made structures to protect it.

-Check on the Quetzal regularly. This may seem like an obvious one, but not only does the Quetzal have a quick torpor drain, but even with a fine and mighty Brontosaurus guarding it, the Quetzal still is not immune to your mistakes during the time that it is unconscious, i.e if a predator such as a Raptor or pack of Raptors comes along, you’re gonna need to get back there on the double-time. For Rexes, have spiked wall traps and multiple Brontosauruses to try and beat them back for a bit. Even packs of Rexes will have a hard time getting past such a combination, especially if the Brontos in question are A. Adequately trained and B. Hopefully paired with some also adequately trained Paraceratherium. Heck, you could even add a tamed Rex to that if you really wanted to, which would give wild Rexes an even bigger struggle just to get to the Quetzal. Strength in numbers, after all.

Overall, this is a best-case scenario setup, and most people probably won’t have nearly this many resources. So my advice is this: practice makes perfect. If the Quetzal dies the first time, that’s okay. Rinse and repeat until you nail it down. This is just an outlook on the supplies and tactics you will most likely want to bring to the table in the case of wanting to tame a Quetzal. I wrote this tutorial/advice out of pure interest, and I hope that it helps an aspiring quetzal tamer like myself. Thanks for reading.

like you tips

and you,r helping me

Use the dodo arrow to follow you to the ground next make sure you have rex kibble but if u didn't know there is a way to tame it faster

Forcetame

If you see one you want to tame, kill it then take the implant and revive it inside a trap.

If you guys want this guys

then heres the step totally make alot of trand arrows like 50 or more than i recommend more trand arrows when you miss to much

step 1:you need a tapejara with saddle of course

step 2 get some biotoxin you can get some bio toxins to chidarians

or get 10x soothing balm

step 3: riding tapejara find some quetzal here where can you found quetzal you can found this guys near to obelisk i always found this guys near to obelisks

step 4: if you already found quetzal go near to quetzal sit at the back seat in tapejara whistle the tapejara (target) which the tapejara will attack the quetzal

step 5: while your tapejara is attacking the quetzal go shoot the quetzal with trand arrows

Step 6: if the quetzal is far away from you don’t shoot it if it is near shoot it!

step 7:make sure not to max torpor the quetzal look at your below before max torporing the quetzal if it the quetzal is in land not gonna got to water max the torpor if it the quetzal is gonna got to water don’t max the torpor or the quetzal will die in drown make sure to look below before 1 shot torpor safety first:)

step 8 now feed it with raw prime meat and put the biotoxins to its inventory while waiting i recommend no carnivore dinos around the quetzal if there is no carnivore dinos around go hunt for titanoboa and other creatures that you can get smoe raw prime meat only near but don’t be far to quetzal you might forgot the way

step 9: now you have to guard quetzal from carnivores until it’s full but make sure to feed it biotoxins when unconscious is low

step 10: now congrats now you have a quetzal name idea birdzal or gigantic bird

Do not tame This a Rex killed me when i was Feeding it THE QUETZAL IS BAD LUCK

Use griffin or use rare flowers and make it go aggressive on u simple

U know the rest

Build a quetz trap with a single foundation in the center of platforms saddle. Then put 3 ceilings on the sides then a hatch frame on front of platform saslddle to be able to mount and dismount easier when in air. Then 3 door frames up on the ceiling tiles leaving the front open. Place four ceiling tiles at top to close top off. Find a quetz fly head on at it and once it's in hop off quetz and place 3 door frames at front side to trap it. Now tranq away. Easy air tame. No threats

When knocking out your first Quetzal it is best that you have a army with good stamina and good movement speed to keep up with the Quetzal. Always remember that the redwood is the worst place to let it fly into because it could get lost or despawn.

First Quetz we tamed we took down with a high stamina Ptera and a tribemate in the claws.

Put a Quetzal trap on that one.

30+ tames later life is easy on the ARK.

To the guy talking about finding the spawn locations… there’s a wiki that has that already 💀

You may want a Griffin a compound bow and toxic ant arrows to knock it out

I have to buy soothing balm 3 x to feed him a raw meat

How I tamed one was a got on my tapy and went to the obolisks because that’s where they spawn but I killed it with my tapy but I got it’s implant and made a wood structure around a revival platform because but when putting the structure around the platform you don’t have to close any gaps there can be gaps just make sure there small gaps hope this helped

-Markiplier

i’ve looked through the whole universe and no quetz at all idk what to do my head hurts and i mad

-HydraRex12

Use a longneck and a griffin to tranq it
