Tips & Strategies
To solo tame, grapple to an argentavis, and be ready to set your argentavis to passive and attack my target on command. Just maintain a process of having your argentavis chase the quetzal, when you get close enough set it passive, then fire a tranq dart/arrow. This is a long process, but it is by far the easiest way to solo tame, unless you already have a quetzal.
Where these bois spawn
1) The Red Obelisk and to the left near that Island 🟥
2) The Green Obelisk and near the herbivore Island area🟩
3) Sometimes the snow mountains 🏔
NOTE: The red Obelisk is where you will most 😀

first TAME griffin or tapejara and tame low level quetzal and second if you tame quetzal buy in store saddle and buy saddle platform or if you have it and you have and build in trap to the platform fly it trap it the quetzal in the trap platform saddle
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 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)

Knocked out lvl 60 with almost one hour!!!!!!
And the raptors came........☠️☠️☠️
If you're on mobile, do the "Hunt Argentavis" Pursuit on lv71 and get a Journeyman Quetz saddle for free!
Honey honey honey for solo taming. Lure them to the ground by dropping above the quetz head. Trap with Dino gates. Easy peasy!
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.
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.
I didn’t have a Tapejara so this method isn’t ideal unless you just can’t find one on the map:
I put a few grappling hooks, parachutes, and tranq arrows in my Argie until I found a Quetzal. At first I tried to grapple the Quetzal (which succeeded AT FIRST) but the moment it began to flee the hook was consumed and I almost died. Instead I grappled my Argie, shot a tranq, and whistled it to attack the Quetzal; as soon as it fled the Argie zoomed after it and the chase was on! Because I was grappled onto my bird close to the feet I had to time the shots just right so that the Argie’s wings didn’t take the arrow during the flying animation. The only downside to this is that there is a chance of the hook breaking if the Quetzal flies into a cliffside and/or corner (parachutes solved this).
Tapejara is the smarter option, but if you want to get nyoomed through the sky while your Argie is in hot pursuit then this method is for you. It can take a few tries but as long as you have more than one parachute to open/close at the right time so you can secure the potential tame from being eaten by carnivores. Shocking darts are the way to go but for those not that far into the engrams, a few dozen tranq darts will suffice provided you make accurate shots. (Also don’t cryo your platform saddled Quetz like I did and be forced to rebuild :/)
Happy Hunting!!!
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.
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 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.
