Check the taming results to see how long it takes to tame the Tek Quetzal, what effectiveness you'll achieve, and how many bonus levels it gains. Better food means better results.

Below is a breakdown of knockout weapon requirements for the Tek Quetzal across various creature levels. Always pace your shots. Torpor takes time to apply, and over-shooting can be lethal.

Use the narcotic calculator to determine exactly how many Narcotics, Bio Toxin, or Narcoberries you need for the Tek Quetzal. Narcotics provide 40 Torpor each and are the standard choice. Bio Toxin offers 80 Torpor but is harder to farm. Narcoberries at 7.5 each are a last resort. At 3.4 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.

Use the torpor and starve timers to track your Tek Quetzal tame in real time. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level Tek Quetzal: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.
