Dinobros2000 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Quetzal taming tips Hello! I just found a level 9 Quetzal and was wondering if anyone could provide some tips for taming a quetzal! I have a LOT of grapples, two crossbows, one is quality 125, and dododex say 15 tranq arrows, I have an argy and pteranodon and parachutes on hand, also have a Tapajara nearby. Don’t want him to desapwn, so what would be the best strategy? Backseat driver with tap? Grapple Argy and whisle attack? Thanks BTW if your answer is use a friend well my computer has trouble hosting soooooo can’t really. Plan on trying tomorrow. Also I’m level 96 with levels pumped into speed, and also have taming x6 tanks for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aylana314159 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Probably best to watch YouTube for solo taming strategies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItWasntMe Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Easiest by far is using the griffin, just fly behind and get your rifle out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aylana314159 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 There existed quetz taming methods from before the griffin was added to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much faffing about with grappling/whistling.. just making it harder for yourself. Takes a few mins to ko a 150 with a griffin so I imagine a lvl 9 would be like 2 darts Do you read??????? please read my post before you talk unknowingly, i dont want it to despawn i have no idea how to tame a Griffin, ragnarock is too big for my computer to handle. it would take a while to tame a griffin, and ive never been able to upload cus my computer dosent like it. also it takes 15. i stated this in the inital post 1 hour ago, Aylana314159 said: There existed quetz taming methods from before the griffin was added to the game.

FraggleRock Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 By far the best way is with a friend. If you don't have a friend it gets a whole lot harder. I recently tamed a Quetzel with a friend, using a Tapejara, and that was difficult. Anything you do in Ark is going to be easier with friends, but everything is still possible. For example, using a Griffin. The Quetzel in general is not a dino easy to tame. If you don't have friends and reject friendly suggestions you have a huge amount of work ahead of you. Why do you need a Quetzel? It's a dino best tamed by a tribe, because it will likely be used by the entire tribe for the tribe. If you are solo, what you would accomplish with a Quetzel is easier to achieve using an Argy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodoRaptor Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Tame the tapejara, get on the back of the it, and whistle it to attack. If it's to close, whistle passive and then make it attack again. It WILL head straight to 50/50, just like they always have. If you could get help, having a driver would help, but you don't need one. If you don't have kibble, use mutton AT LEAST!

This is a monstrosity, it’s a paragraph.... yours is 3/4 as big! 11 hours ago, ArkRage said: Read through that monstrosity? ? No thanks. Watch some youtube videos then if you don't like people's suggestions. Want to tame a quetz but don't have a clue how to do it? You asked for the best strategy, and that is it. You will just kill yourself with a ptera or argy so good luck with that. I do have a clue(I stated that above), I’m asking what’s the best out of these ways, and I’ll kill myself? How? And I do like people’s suggestions, if they read what the situation is and not just say “use YOUR quetzal and trap it in a box”! 9 hours ago, FraggleRock said: By far the best way is with a friend.

I understand that but no dedicated is like 10x more laggy than SP, and it’s unplayable before another person logs on. Well it can carry things up to mammoths, it has a platform saddle and lots of weight for heavy transport of large, or multiple creatures! He also looks cool and is fun to say I have, helpful for taming other things, because he is a stand on back dismount, and platform saddle can also be useful for this.

You asked people "wondering if anyone could provide some tips for taming a quetzal!" THEN you stated what you have available. You never said this is all i'm working with so don't suggest anything outside of that. If you ask the public for help with a specific scenario and you state what you've got available then of course people are still going to suggest other methods because you asked people for tips. They may provide you with something you hadn't thought of that you already have available. To facepalm someone because they took time out to try and help you is childish, it's something that grinds my gears when people like you ask for help, then say "Also please answer soon" and then complain that people didn't give you the advice you wanted.

Well I know how to I’m just not really good at it. Ok well yeah that’s true, but I didn’t facepalm the guy that suggestive did it, I was just a little annoyed that a guy kept insisting on something that I had already said I didn’t have and didn’t want to get. And yeah the please answer soon is stupid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if I trap and tame, once tamed I don’t like hiking through the woods, I’d rather flying peaceful and not losing 2 or 3 tames.

wizard03 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Solo, Id say the tappy would be good, but if you go argy, use the grappleing hook and a parachute.....done this a few times already. It does work, but it can be tricky tricky.....other advice I got is to try and use the rare flower to draw him in nice and close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
