Knockout Weapons

Use the knockout chart to see exactly how many Tranq Arrows, Darts, or other torpor weapons it takes to down the R-Quetzal. Wait between shots for torpor to tick up. Firing too fast can kill the creature before it goes down.

To simplify the knockout, immobilize the R-Quetzal first with Chain Bola or Bear Trap.

Required Narcotics

Use the narcotic calculator to determine exactly how many Narcotics, Bio Toxin, or Narcoberries you need for the R-Quetzal. Your options are Narcotics (40 Torpor), Bio Toxin (80 Torpor, best efficiency), or Narcoberries (7.5 Torpor, cheapest but slowest). With Torpor draining at 3.4/s, don't wait until the bar is nearly empty to apply narcotics.

Starve & Torpor Timers

Use the torpor and starve timers to track your R-Quetzal tame in real time. Torpor monitoring prevents premature wakeups. The starve timer is for the starve-tame method - let Food drop, then load all kibble at once to avoid waste.
