Sgtbaconese Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Quetz flying to water when Taming? So my tribe and I tried taming a quetz the other day, first a 130. While trying to knock it out, it flew to the middle of the map over water. We tried to steer it by hitting it only when it was flying in a direction we didn't want, and letting it fly on its own for a few minutes it continued to hover over the center lake/river. Finally after an hour of being fustrated we found another quetz, a 85 and it ended up doing the same thing. Anyone else have the same results? Our method: 2 people on argy's each carring a shooter with crossbow. I have herd of other methods but have not tried them, could anyone verify this? carrying a scorpion and set him to attack target? grappling hook to quetz then shoot it?

Blolfenegergamagarner Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 It's the 50,50 mechanic, Quetzes will always fly to 50,50 when you start tranqing them, we've managed to tame 3 on my server without any going down in the water so far though, so it is doable, you just have to get a little better at steering them in a dryer direction...... it's kinda frustrating, and takes a little time to get it right, but it is doable...... I don't play official, so my method is shooting from the back of a Griffin(have the Valguero dino and map extension mod installed), but it shouldn't be any different with an argy or anything else, you just need to get good at steering it....... and yeah, it's kindof unfortunate that 50,50 on this map is directly over water, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the biggest problem for us is not having found any bluprints for crossbow or longneck yet. We have hit tons of the drops but just no luck yet.

RageQuitter Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Try and tame a low level first, takes less hits to get down, first one I did on Valguero was level 15 and did it by having a wyvern on high follow and standing on it's back to tranq it, got lucky as it fell right on the shore near the dock, might also try having a look around the ruins in the white cliffs as I've seen them there and they have a lot further to run to get to water but risk of landing on allos, deinos, raptors etc, it's pointless trying to KO a high level one with primitive gear as it'll get to 50-50 before you can get it down Once you've got a low level you can box tame a higher one as long as you can make a platform saddle or are above level 80 and can farm the deep sea crates to find one, if you're on official or a server with stam regen turned off take a ptera up with you in the box and make sure your quetz is on high follow, once the quetz is KO'd mount the ptera and just hover then land whenever you need to give the quetz narcotics, this stops the quetz trying to land and it regains stam while you're hovering on the ptera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgtbaconese Posted July 25, 2019 Author Share Posted July 25, 2019 cool thanks dude, i may try that this weekend, ive been hitting drops like crazy trying to get a bp for crossbow or longneck but no luck yet. The other server i was on it they were dropping all the time, and now they are like non-existent lol. I did find a premade longneck so that will make it easier.
