Most frustrating thing about solo-taming a quetzal without a trap: that slight desync between client and server where it looks like you hit it on the client side, but the server registers it as a miss...
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
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.
@@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.
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
ITS THE MOMENT YOU’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR Also can I have a friend follow the Quetzal on a Wyvern and carry me while I shoot it with shocking tranq darts
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
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
ark mobile players: *laughs in revivable implants* also ark mobile players: *kills a quetz for a bit of exp and takes implant,revives quetzal with amber and uses 15× balm*
The Mobile Version Might Be Worse, But It's Pretty Cool, Especially For People With No *GAMING MEGA RGB 200 CORES AND 7 MONITORS PC* To Actually Play The Game With More Than 3 FPS
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.
Yeah I did use tapejara because it has three seats so I sit in this front sit and whistle my tape to attack the quetz while I shoot it with Trang dart (I'm playing mobile)
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.
@@memerminecraft3226 I would consider the Island's legendaries to be giga, quetzal, and titanosaur. Velonasaur's stats are a little too low for that status.
load up the pteranodon with some heavy stuff, so he stayes at a distance to the quezal and flies slower. i have not tried it yet, but just came to that idea lol. will try it asap :D
ark quetzals rare flowers dont work you big liar quit your bullshit you did not tame an ark quetzal using rare flowers they dont work bro why you gotta lie
yo guys I recommend to use ballista turret to use chain bola it and use like 700 narcotic and get like 40 meat and then use longneck with tranq darts (must be level 50 or 47) to tame one sorry if that depresses you guys.
Just tame it on rag. Its almost like its programmed to always go to the snow and get stuck after a while. Step 1: spot the one you like to tame Step 2: get on your argy, have grapples, parachutes, tranq darts and a good simple rifle(got a 188% BP after gathering loot drops from the ice queen) Step 3: get close to it, unmount, use parachute, and grapple on the argy, whistle the argy to attack and start shooting the quetzal, then whistle passive when it gets too close to the quetzal. Step 4: keep shooting it, and eventually it starts getting stuck in the mountains. And you can even shoot it from the ground. (Depending on your torpor you might lose decent health, I usually carry extra sleeping bags)
U can actually trap it like 4 rocks behemoth gate then use your flying dino or something like that then fly high use dodo arrow just to remind u dodo arrow is the worse disrespect for dino which is even quat will come for u then just trsp like arge
Interestingly enough I’m on day 70 of the island and I’ve only seen one quetzal ever and it was a tek Quetzal, it was very low level and I slaughtered it but I highly regret doing that now
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.
Fun fact: there is a griffin in the island but idk of ti in pc I saw ti on mobile but you need to be level 75 or 85 idk the level but yea the name is royal griffin but if ti doesn’t respect don’t tame ti will not want to eat but it’s just a normal griffin
An easier way to get your Tapejara/Argy/Pteranodon off the ground is just to whistle attack on any other creature and then aborting it before it can actually attack by whistling "go there".
The Pteranodon method worked for me, though I had to do intensive research and experimentation to figure out how grouping, whistling, and grappling work.
Neat, I never thought of trapping it lol. I just carry around a scorpion on aggressive and wait a few seconds before flying passed again lol. Takes like 6 stabs for me for like level 175 :D
@@Te3time It can be stressful at times, you have to be the right distance next to it or just below the wings. Easier to use an Argent to carry the scorp and then fly slowly around it. Might take an hour, but it's worth it for the strategy lol
In my world, i found a quetzal in herbivore island on the ground landing, but as soon as it rendered in, it immediatsly flew high in the sky. So they land just MEGA RARE
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
Uh huh, I just flew a tapejara and got my friend to shoot it down, pretty ez as long as you have a friend, solo, yes I can see how difficult it could get
I have a video correction. 3:09 you say that Griffins are only available in ragnorok when they are also available on crystal isles. Tecorsuh of course already knows this but this is for newer players
Crystal Isles is also a great place to look for Quetzals, they're practically everywhere. And if you get really lucky, sometimes they get themselves stuck in the floating isles.
Might just be me but I think they patched Snow Owl method recently cause I just tried it today and it wouldn't let me freeze it after a certain height off the ground.
Sometimes i found a quetzal and wanted tame it cuz bro so tired of my argys weight i needed sh1t ton of metal and while it was fleeing it got too near to my base and my plant species started shooting it making it slow i recommend doing this to tame a quetzal
yo guys I recommend to use ballista turret to use chain bola it and use like 700 narcotic and get like 40 meat and then use longneck with tranq darts (must be level 50 or 47) to tame one sorry if that depresses you guys.
I have a story....so i was about to tame a quetzal and i followed tecorsuh tips it works but i was running out of raw prime meat then i request my dire bear then look for a raw prime meat then suddenly my tapejara got attacked by raptor and i didnt see my quetzal after i came back from harvesting raw prime meat this is the moment that i am so pissed...so the next step is im going to the red obelisk they usually spawn there but nothing was found just a titanosaur, this is the moment that i lost my tapejara...im trying something new so i attacked the titanosaur and then me and tapejara died just one shot from titanosaurus
Griffins are exculsive on ragnarok Me plays on mobile : are you sure about that? Yes, griffins can be found on mobile... but you need to gain their respect first
If your able to grape onto wild animals. Probably would work, but you would need a parachute otherwise when I got knocked out it would obviously fall to the ground, and so would you😭
Or build a big hollow base at 50, 50 so he crashes in it. OR put a large pack of raptors in it and then clear everything out in the area before you go for your quetzal.
Honest to god, if i was being pulled by the pteranodon on that wire irl, i would straight up vomit the entire time lol. Just watching it made me nauseous and I dont get motion sickness haha.
