APsychoSloth Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Obtaining a quetz on xbox Looking for good quetz taming strategies that don't involve another quetz with a trap build. Attempts to use an argy or ptera have resulted in all shots hitting them due to glitching into the legs. The leg issue also being a factor when trying to bola a Tapejara out of the air when trying to tame it to use for a quetz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigskybear Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Use grapple hook on your ptera that way you dont hit it. Just don't let your tribemate hit the "sprint" button or the line will break. Use a ptera with a high speed stat to compensate for this. Worked well for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danjocon Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 My tribemate and I attempted a quetz tame last night. I found if the petra is in front and above the quetz you end usually don't end up hitting your bird. Unfortunately for us after several issues we finally had the quetz almost KOed when it flew into a nearby base and got shredded by the turrets.

scotte93 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Yepp use a fast ptera. Carry your person above and in front of quetz allows for headshots and doesn't often hit the bird because he is aiming straight down. Also when you get in a good position angle ur bird up slightly. If you have an extra member to follow the quetz on another bird do it in case you lose it or need to land for stamina. We just put one down no problem two days ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The advantage being you can typically carry all the gear necessary to keep the Quetzal safe including spiked walls or dino gates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotte93 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I followed on an argent to carry the stuff but yeah an argies fine too you just need close to 200 speed on an argy. People usually have a faster ptera sitting around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimlock98 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 1. Tame a ptera 2. use ptera to tame an argent 3. find a low level quetz 4. carry friend in the legs of argent, fly ABOVE the quetz to shoot tranqs 5. pump all points into speed, make a platform saddle and then have friend stand on it and find a high level Quetz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapaPoof Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I used the grappling hook on my speed argy, then used the spy glass to "attack target" until I caught up with the quetz then whistle stop take some shots and repeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why tame a extra bird? sure you can do that, i just find the stamina on an argent to be worth more. i love pteras but overly fast ones can be a pain to use to tame. plus they might have speed but they still use some stamina. lastly Argents are one of the best animals in ark, just my opinion, heck im on a Quetz ban, i love Quetz but the game goes by too fast for me and i end up getting bored too quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danjocon Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 49 minutes ago, Melcreif said: turrets set on wild? Who does that??? Yeah, I was surprised too. The quetzal kept hanging around their base, but it wasn't until the end when it flew right over their main turret covered base that it got shot. I've also seen another tribe leave plant x on wild dino's, after their base got wiped i was able to walk right up to it and take its fertilizer. 14 minutes ago, PapaPoof said: I used the grappling hook on my speed argy, then used the spy glass to "attack target" until I caught up with the quetz then whistle stop take some shots and repeat That sounds like an awesome solo method, although the one issue I see is that it could be hard to stop the bird from following the quetz into hostile airspace.
