Griffin and Quetz
Has anyone tried or had success trying to knock out a quetz while on a griffin? I have a griffin, but im just at work right now so i cant try it. Lol just a thought going through my mind.

Since the flier nerf, it's not easy getting a Quetz on any flier since they can't now keep up with a Quetz once they been spooked. Griffins are no different, they aren't really that much faster and a Quetz can still outrun them easily once you get the first hit on it.

best way to tame a quetz is buying a shty one from someone, then using a platform saddle to create a quetz trap on top (look up youtube how-to videos to see what i mean). Then you can solo tame them ezpz

Yes I've downed Quetzes from the back of my Griffin..... taming a Quetz via Griff is what you would call super easy mode, lol if you want a challenge try grappiling from your argy xD

Yes i would agree to that! I thought the griffin would be hard to tame, but it turned out to be one of my first flyers lol

What are you even talking about? That´s just completely wrong information.

Since Tapas are kinda hard to tame on Ragnarok (i´ve never seem them on the ground always flying) i tried it with a Griffin -> works like a charm so yes go on and tame your Quetz ;)

Quetz not that hard, grappled to a ptera or from a griffin.
You just need to have a plan, some practice, enough hide and fiber to make spike walls onsite and some luck.

On ragnarok they fly to or near 50-50, the 133 i tamed from a ptera i had to make runs in and out of the cold to heal up and keep from dying.
Did not have fur armor yet but i did have an ascendant hide shirt.
Once the Q was walled in i made a trip to drop heavy gear and get narc and salt, i let torpor drop to about 1/4 then slammed a bunch of narc and made a mutton run.

the 203 i tamed from a griffin was a whole lot easier because it could carry the spike walls, narc, salt and mutton.

Oh i should mention the server is max 210 dinos, taming is 4x and mutton stacks to 20 so adjust your plan accordingly.

Rare flowers don't seem to work on Quetzals, i have tried it.

If we are talking about Ragnarok, which is the only place I know Griffins to exist, quetzals always seem to run to the snow area. Once you force it into a Mountain, Then you can set up camp. or perch on your griffen, with all your heat protecting gear and health potions. Then gradually take it down while it is trapped in the mountain.

Wild Quetz I'm talking about. Trying to shoot one with tranqs to tame it.

Also, ive been playing this game for a while. I havent figured it out yet, but does the quality of a weapon affect the number of traqs it takes to take down a dino? I just got an ascendant long neck rifle, with 550+% damage.

I just tamed one from the passenger seat of a Tapejara. Just whistled attack and shot the Quetz. The Tape could hold distance from the Quetz once spooked but never catch up to it.
