HydrogenDemon Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 It's really easy. All you have to do is stock up on tranqu darts, get some parachutes and a flyer. Jump off your flyer, activate your parachute, and shoot at the quetzal once. Repeat. I did it this way and I swear, it's the easiest way to go.

The Quetzel is supposed to be hard to attain. That's the point. I play solo and I don't have one. If you want one solo, try hosting a non-dedicated match with your friends, everything you claim will cross back over to your solo game. Making this nightmare creature an easier tame will only reduce the glory of actually attaining one. Since this game is playable solo, there has to be a way of doing it yourself. I'd recommend searching the GENERAL DISCUSSION section of the forum to see if anyone has any ideas on how to better tame this beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaneCo8 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Can someone please tell me if it is still possible to tame a Quetzel by stinging it with a scorpion? I have tried this twice now with no success both times on the same Quetzel. It is a level 18 Quetzel, our server doesnt spawn the 100+ others do as the highest lvl dino i have ever seen was a lvl 50 before taming. The first attempt I took my lvl 50ish scorpion up and stung it dozens of times over the course of at least an hour or so not long after it would slow down after rushing away and never got it to drop. The next time I took a new Argent that had 700 more stamina than the last one 2100 overall so I could stay up longer without landing inbetween, took the same scorpion, now a lvl 70 with 195% hit damage since i read maybe the damage would increase the topor per sting, again I had to have just tried for well over an hour, getting dozens of stings in before I ever had to land for stamina and repeated this 3/4 times and I only just stopped because the Quetz was so bloody I was afraid I was going to kill it before it got knocked out. I had to have stung the thing close to 100 times over the course of the second attempt, what am I supposed to do? I am not getting lucky like one of the guys in the group of us who play whose got one from it flying into the mountain and getting stuck for an easy capture.

ImpureFrost Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 You can still tame a quetz with a scorpion. It's just reallly hard. I suggest trying to jump on its back and perform a rodeo ko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volunteer Moderator Jerryn Posted January 30, 2016 Volunteer Moderator Share Posted January 30, 2016 With Quetzals, you just need to tame a low level one first, low as you can find. After that, taming other Quetzals, alone, or with help, is stupid easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyAnn Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 @Raiuza, there has been a few more threads on this exact subject so I'm going to merge them so you have have a look through, please don't worry that your thread has been "stolen" the merge process simple places the oldest dated one at the top.

Davidhedgehogstudios Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Does anyone have a good method of taming a queztel solo without another queztel? The scorpion method just didn't work for me at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redisagir Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Scorpion method does work, it's how i got mine, took about half an hour and 3 failed attempts, take a high melee scorpion with a high stamina argie and you'll get it done eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomGamer Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 The only ways aside from the cage and scorpion methods are to have an Argy on follow, jump off the Argy, and parachute down and shoot it as much as you can then rinse and repeat or hope it gets stuck on a mountain after aggro and shoot it while it's stuck.

GregoPeck Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Pretty much just what @PhantomGamer mentioned. The wiki has details, called the "Parachuting" strategy. It's how I was able to tame mine. http://ark.gamepedia.com/Quetzal#Parachuting Tranq. darts are the way to go, I think. If you need help figuring out how many you'll need check out a taming calculator. Here are three of them: http://www.survive-ark.com/taming-calculator/ http://www.ark-survival.net/en/taming-calculator/ http://ark.crumplecorn.com/taming/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelantious Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Did the parachute method as well. Used one Pteranodon and two argys on follow, they were mostly for defense once I got it down to defend against wild dinos. First one I got to go down landed right on a rex and carno so... yeah... Was gone before I couldn't even get down there. Second landed in a forest around the volcano I think. Quickly set up spiked walls around it. Had some argys and scorpions come but my two argys took care of those. Glad I'll never have to do this method ever again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dabala Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Put a scorpion on aggressive then carry it with an argy and go close to a quetzal until the scorpion hits it so much it knock out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franchi Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I used the scorpion method for my first solo tame but that was pre nerf and the scorp had over 1k melee. Has anyone done it post nerf? Anyway if you go the scorp route find the lowest level Que you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone done it post nerf? Anyway if you go the scorp route find the lowest level Que you can. I tried the scorpion method months ago. I spent a lot of time grinding to get it's melee damage high. I wasn't sure how much it should have, but I tried to get it to 1k. I didn't have much luck with that though as it more often than not killed the Quetzal I was trying to tame. Finding the lowest level Quetzal that you can is definitely one of the best tips for taming your very first one. The first one I tamed (using the Parachuting method I shared) was only level 10. The second one I tamed (post nerf and on the back of my first one) was only a little above level 20, I think. So, I'd recommend having about 20 tranq darts to tame a level 20 or below.

One of the verisons I have used is with 4 dino gates in a square pattern, a colmn to one side(left or right) and a few ceiling tiles coming off the column to partly cover the opening at the top of the 4 dino gates. Then, you either open the front or back dino gate, maneuver a quetzal into it, dismount before it can fly through, get inside the cage, close the door, and tranq it. It will be trapped when you dismount, assuming you position it correctly, so it cannot fly way; no more trips to 50/50. When it goes out, you tame it there; do not try to fly it someplaces else; and there is usually no need. This works best with kibble, since kibble keeps longer, but you can also do a fridge and genny, or preserving bins, to carry enough prime for the tame; plus some back up meat. You can also use this for catching a ptera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volunteer Moderator Jerryn Posted February 4, 2016 Volunteer Moderator Share Posted February 4, 2016 Damn...I wish I knew that before I did all of those high level tames, by myself using a cage on a Queztal; the last 2 being 120s. Should I release those two 120 tames back into the wild? All kidding aside, I have done this multiple times, and even used it once on a Ptera. You have to build the right type of cages: 4 dino gateways, 4 dino gates, 4 columns, and 3 ceiling tiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragostygien Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Hello everyone, i was thinking about a new way to tame a Quetzal alone. I didn't tried it yet but i'm gonna try it later. My solution is that you take a pretty fast pteranodon and you put it in agressive mode. Once that is done, you go search a Quetzal and once you found one, you get off of your ptera and you shot a grappling hook on your Ptera(Don't forget to take a parachute just in case if you fail your shot). If its work, your Ptera should attack the Quetzal, so once you are attached, you take your longneck rifle with tranq darts / crossbow with tranq arrows and you shoot the Quetzal while your Ptera is chasing the quetzal (Better to try it with Ptera because Argentavis do a lot of damage). As i said i didn't tried it, i just thought about that, so guys you could try if you want. I would share for help people if its work. Have a good day everyone.
