Tips & Strategies
When you tame your first quetzal, you should make it into a quetz trapper... if you are wanting more... if you don't know what a quetz trap is, go to YouTube! If you can tame a low level one to start! Being able to tame as many quetzals as you want with the trap, is RIDICULOUS!
If you're on mobile, do the "Hunt Argentavis" Pursuit on lv71 and get a Journeyman Quetz saddle for free!
Here's how I tamed a quetz solo
Got the kibble, narcotics and spike walls.
Put the argy on follow and grapple hooked it while it was hovering in the air
Switched to crossbow with tranq arrows.
Left bumper+down arrow to make it go where I was aiming.
Guided it to quetz and chased it around shooting tranq arrows.
Steered argy down to where quetz was knocked out.
Put up spike walls and tamed quetz.
I found another quetz on the way back a d tamed it too.
If you have a Tamed Quetzal and dont know how to use it ill show you!
USES OF THE QUETZ
USE 1-So Quetzals have this weight reduction on anything its like a bigger Tapejara that cant hang on walls.
USE 2-Quetz have a high fortidude so if you got an good tier Platform Saddle and add some Metal structutres or TEK Structures on its back and the side of its neck, making it a tough cookie to crack on PVP which is very usefull.
USE 2-Quetzals also have a TEK Variant, i saw one in Centre it was lvl 150 so I tamed it and the TEK Quetzals stats are more better than the original one so basicly a normal quetz has low lvl HP like about 5k-10k HP or sometimes 15k HP but for TEK ones theyre about 10K-20K HP buffing their HP even further and making them tougher to kill when mixed with the Platform Saddle
USE 3-Quetzals are one of the most uncommon creatures in the game having them non-stop spawning in the Red Obelisk which also makes them easy to farm since theyre the easieast creatures to be farmed in the whole game,so if you want to tame a Mosa or Giga just find a wild female and KO it or wait for it to poop out an egg from the sky
USE 4-Quetzals are also used on Taming a Titanosaur (Besides Mechs or Rocket Launchers.)
Thats all for the Quetz uses! Thanks for looking at my Utility Guide! Take care ya"ll 😄😁😃
(I just wrote a few cuz some of you might know the other uses)

I know this is pretty common knowledge, but for the guys who always find the quetzal they're trying to tame in an area loaded with sabertooths, carnos, and rexes, all quetzals that are frightened will fly towards the coordinates 50, 50, every single time.
Alright, so you have a low level quetzal and now you want to build a trap to tame a higher level quetz. But you realize that in some darn way you can’t fit 6 foundations on the mobile quetz platform like in pc or like the youtube tutorial have said. Here what you’ll need if you want to build a trap with only 2 stone foundations, this is for mobile player who cannot place 6 foundations like me:
- 2 stone foundations
- 24 stone ceilings
- 18 stone doorframes
- 16 stone pillars
- 1 dino gateway (stone or wood works fine)
Now, start by placing down 2 stone foundations, then place the stone ceilings around it. If you do this correctly, you would have a 3x4 rectangle shape with the longer corner being by the quetzal’s wing area. On both the long corner, place 2 ceilings down in the middle. Now you should have a very scuff “+” shape. Place 4 pillar each on the ceilings you just placed and place doorframe on the corner of the trap. Place the rest of the ceilings on top. Now you should have a box with one side open, you’ll try to place down the stone gateway on this size when you have the quetz inside your box
I have run tested this 3 times, as i found 3 quetz in the same area. And this is how i got my lvl 100 female quetz
Good luck survivor, hope this help! ^^
I found one. I wasn’t prepared.
Up for me to tame one soon!
In Mobile just kill it and craft a revival platform and build an enclosure then revive it and knock it out
You can use honey to lure the quetzal to the ground and into a trap.
Get yourself a flyer a net gun, a parachute and yoir weapon to tranq it out(optionally a trap) First get on the flyer and find your quetz then jump off using the parachute and shoot it with the net gun. Then land and build a trap or tranq it out right there
I dared follow it and waited for it to come down and rest. Unfortunately, quetzals seem to fly forever. So guys, whoever is thinking of doing the same thing, don't. You'll just waste your time.
How I tamed a Quetzal is by using a Tapejara and while on the passenger seat set it to attack the Quetz and fire tranqs at it also, when its knocked out bring a parachute with you because you can't change to driver side while in passenger.
If you found one, don't blink while chasing. Don't. Blink.
So... I figured out the exact spots for the spawns 👍 The primary spot is just behind the red obelisk on the thin little strip of land near the southern island. (I almost always see one spawn there) I also find them frequently spawning around the “back spike” of the red obelisk. You will almost always find a quetz around these two places. (At least on mobile) If you want a high level, just kill the one that spawns at these two places and a new one will always respawn back at those two places. This technique worked for me.
In order to solo tame a quetz, you could use an argentavis and a pulmiscorpius. Just pick up the pulmiscorpius, and do whistle attack target while looking at the quetz, your pulmiscorpius should start attacking the quetz, raising it's torpidity until it is knocked out.
Rare flowers, egg aggros, etc. don’t work anymore, they never aggro while they are wild, they only flee and they are pretty damn quick, but once you tame them, they are literal flying snails
These boys can be netted making taming easier.
