You’re so lucky. I never tamed a Quetzal and I wanna tame one so badly.

[@PANG0LIN]

@@penguino6147 it’s really hard, unless you have another quetzal or a griffin.

[@redblade5556]

@@penguino6147 Tapejara method as shown here, requires patience. Also, bring to mind the glitch, flying to 50, 50, place a wall of spikes, it’s alright even if it’s wooden spike walls. Make it large enough to encompass the whole coordinate, and brung an extra 10 or 15 on the taming day. If you don’t have access to shocking tranq darts, use a higher quality and higher damage longneck rifle. Don’t you dare use normal narcs as well, use bio toxin. The torpor drain on these guys are fast af. I already tamed one wayyyy before this video on mobile, needless to say I already prepared two or three pieces of rex kibble (I always snatched rex eggs and mercilessly killed the mother for exp) and a sh*t ton of meat. Because my quetzal fell near the mountain, I got argies and allos all around me, solving my need for prime meat to speed up taming. I also used a 10x balm (mobile only, gained from caving and tributing artifacts) as well. As I was knocking down the quetz, I always used my spyglass to check on the amount of torpor it has, and thus, calculate how much time these bastards need to wake up using dododex. When it fell unconscious, I built a spike wall around it, put 2 stacks of bio toxin in the quetz to keep it down, and the taming food. My tapejara was lvl 150+ when I tamed it, so I had no problems with weight, and it was already lvl 220+ when I started taming a quetz, so my tapejara had around 400+ weight in him to support the amount of bio toxin I need to tame along with the extras and the taming food. While it was taming, I rode my tapejara and went to a nearby tree to cling on to rest. ASAP I saw a predator wandering nearby, I sniped it with my ascendant longneck rifle, cut it up, then put the prime meat in the quetz’s inventory. Took two whole ark days to tame even with balm.

[@mikeH824]

I couldn't find any quetzal on my map but I finally found one, followed it around for an hour because it kept going in dangerous areas and when I was finally ready to knock it out I saw a higher level and better colored one, so I shot at that and when it finally went down it almost got killed by Carnos, thylas, bugs, you name it. I barely got it and as soon as it tamed I cryopodded it and flew home

[@quanade1919]

What an epic adventure

[@Matticgaming]

Omg same here my quetzal keep on dieing from carno

[@henryckdemorais.2134]

I hate carnos

[@johnndavedvicete2146]

You can also drop a trail of honey while mounted on a flyer, the quetzal will then follow the honey to the ground and then u can trap it with four dino gate in a square form.. then pelt it with tranq dart.. much easier for me. Just bring lots of honey and a dino on crypod to protect you just incase. Hope this helps

[@joshuanaumowicz5115]

Damn I needed this sooner!!!!! Still super happy to see that it’s finally here

[@Trapcard-ck9pq]

There is also another method. If you go in front of the quetzal and drop honey it will fly after the honey to the ground, where you can use Dino gates to trap it

[@ayeshaanjum7645]

Thanks

[@jaredc5789]

I used this and it works good 😊 I made sure that my whole hot bar was full of honey and put the dino gates in one spot and dropped one honey at a time until it was at the ground. It took me a few tries but I tamed a tek quetzal.

[@redboot8]

The dislikes are from the angry quetzals that got killed by scorpions

[@D4nn1_JRME]

What dislikes? Lmao

[@Opinnom]

For the snow owl method, you could use a chain bola or bear trap to secure the quetzal. You could trap it afterwards which makes it really easy to keep in in the gates.

For some reason I find these videos entertaining

[@laggichi8632]

Seriously I was searching for your video on quetzal taming guide for a week now ,and u uploaded right after I tamed it WHY I MEAN Y

[@redblade5556]

Oh right pro tip. Make a big wall of spike walls at the 50,50 so that when the quetzal falls to that or near that place (bring extra spike walls just in case, around 10 since these guys are huge) it will be a bit secured. Use an argy or a high lvl tapejara for this (tapejara method requires patience. Too much patience) and chase and tranq the quetzal. Use a high quality longneck rifle (apprentice or ascendant, depends on you, and bring at least two, one main and the other for backup) if shocking tranq darts are still unavailable to you. Use bio toxin instead of narcs for this, as a quetzal’s torpor drains fast, rivals the Therizinosaurus or the compy in drainage.

[@Otis151]

Thanks for the video. This looks like it was a lot of work. I appreciate it. I think I'm just going to go the 2-player route.

[@justsomeguy9629]

We need a quetzal tlc that makes them faster and adds a sonic boom ability that only happens when they take off on the ground which damages and stuns wild creatures,enemy tames and players

[@ace7843]

Problem is tho is that their slow to balance them, being the only flyer with a platform saddle it would be broken af if they were fast

[@Malaqoi]

Idk about speed but definitely a model tlc would be good too

[@drakl710]

Thank you! Using these tips in my new play through. Would love you to watch!

[@HewieAlbino]

My first Quetzal was a Level 15 one. It was on a singleplayer world on Ragnarok so I used the Griffin method. Quetzal ended up landing in the area between the canyon and murder snow mountains so there were allos, carnos and sabers patrolling about. Put down a parameter of spiked walls, fed it some raw mutton and it tamed up quickly since it was a low level. Pumped some weight and stamina on to it, made a platform saddle with a trap and went on to tame a 135 one. My advise is to just go for a low level one first, especially if you're using the grapple or tapejara, so you don't have to struggle and fight the controls for too long. Once you have one Quetzal, taming subsequent ones get infinitely easier with the trap method, since you don't have to worry about chasing it down or getting eaten by predators.

[@redplays5990]

or just go for a high lvl one, go in front of it, throw honey and when it follows the honey to the ground make a trap and tame it lol

[@comptech5599]

I'm on The Center. Every so often this level 174 Tek Quetzal would fly around the small island under the blue obelisk, where I have my base. This has happened many times. This time I became determined I wanted it !!! I've watched this video a few times before now. Time to try the solo play Pteranadon method. Wow, that was a learning experience. Didn't get the Queztal, this time! A lot of bouncing around. But I discovered that there is much less jarring when aiming if I only use the move whistle and send the Pteranadon over the Quetz's head about three times higher than the Q is long. Next time I take about 300 tranq darts, level 174 needs less than 80 according to Dododex. NO Quetz but it was fun.

[@vhel1681]

I got my first quetz tame yesterday, everyone said it was hard but it was super easy. Got it on my first try.

[@seansimpson6194]

The method I recommend is using an argentavis to carry a friend while they shoot the quetzal with tranqs. Make sure your argie has plenty of stamina. Trust me it's alot easier when you have a friend with you

[@karamhalo2006]

Thank you you helped me so much♥️

I tamed one by shooting it from a cliff with the shock tranq dart (2 or 3 hits) and feeding a variety of different meats. It was really low level so I just leveled it up by going around attacking trees.
