Things you need tapejara no specific level, spy glass, crossbow or longneck rifle, tranq arrows or tranq dart, soothing balm (mobile), tex kibble, and op tame.

Step 1 Find the quetzal and manual save.

Step 2: Get your taming supplies and return to the quetzal on your tapejara.

Step 3: Get close to the quetzal and ride on the passenger seat of your tapejara. Note: tapejaras don’t loose stamina if you are on the passenger seat

Step 4: Use your spyglass and zoom in and whistle attack target.

Step 5: Pull out your tranq weapon and start shooting until it is knocked out.

Step 6: Request your op tame that has nothing of value in it’s inventory.

Step 7: Remote use soothing balm and put the kibble in its inventory.

Step 8: Patiently wait and scout with your tame for any dangerous creatures around the area and protect the quetz.

Step 9: Equip the saddle and enjoy your new quetz.

The fun way is to jump off and grapple to your argie and whistle it to attack and since argies are slow it won’t catch up in time so tranq till it goes out also bring parachutes and consider liking so more people will know

Idk why everyone makes this so complicated with all the grappling stuff all you have to do is,

1. Get or use a tapejara that’s a low level with a couple levels into movement speed

2. Get a rifle or crossbow with either darts or tranqs

3. Find a quetzal and then go to the back of your tapejara and set to attack the quetzal

(Since quetzals have high health and ur using a low level tapejara you can actually leave the tapejara to attack the quetzal, it’ll be fine)

4. Knock It out, not over water, and put whatever you want into it and ban you have a quetzal

Btw, you don’t need to worry about the tapejara’s stamina, it doesn’t decrease while you sit in the back seat

Guys this is the ersieht was to tame a quetzal. All you need is a tapejara.

1) Whisle your Tapejara to follow you

2) Ride you Tapejara and surch for a quetzal

3) When you found a quetzal, go an the back of the Tapejara (dont forget that you have to make the follow whisle on Tapejara, otherwise the will Flyer to the ground)

4) Make the attack whisle while you are on the Tapejata's back, so your tapejara will follow the quetzal.

5) Just shoot the quetzal with tranq darts/arrow and make the passive whisle on the Tapejara when he is too close to the Quetzal.

6) Repeat that till the quetzal gets knocked out and enjoy your quetzal taming.

TIPP: They spawn near the Obelisk and fly trought the whole map after spawning. GOOD LUCK!

DO NOT CRYOPOD IT WITH A PLATFORM SADDLE IT DESTROYS YOUR WHOLE BASE AND ALL YOU WORK

Quetz usually spawn at red obelisk, if you don't see one wait a few minutes for t to spawn. If you are looking for a high level kill the lower level one so it another can respawn

I think this is only on Nintendo some times they fall out of the sky and you can trap them and tame them

When you get a platform saddle, put a bed on it so you don’t lose it.

Net it, tranq it, find and kill an ovis, then come back to find it was killed by a compy

Knocked out lvl 60 with almost one hour!!!!!!

And the raptors came........☠️☠️☠️

Use a tapejara, sit on the passager seat and set it on my target. Then make it fly to the quetz. Shoot the quetz with any sort of tranq ammo. Do this reapetly and you Have knocked quetz👌

If you manage to knock a quetzal out, try starve taming. If you never tried starve taming it’s just leaving a Dino’s hunger go to half way or lower and then you start feeding. I’ve done this many times and it’s very useful taming trick.

Quetzals, one of the best dinos. Quetzals can easily be tamed with a buddy, all you need is a flying dino that can pick up people or has a multi-seat saddle. Load up with the appropriate tranq arrows, narcotics, food and set off across the map to find one. Low levels are brilliant for beginners as they can serve as brilliant carriers due to their high base weight stat. Higher levels however mainly are used as "Battle Quetzals", alongside the high stats it will receive from being tamed, pumping health and melee damage is the way to go. With that being said you'll be able to tank base defences such as PSX and Auto Turrets, aswell as kill dangerous dinos with ease. Maybe either of those don't tickle your fancy, then hey, make a "Party Quetzal"! Strap on some chairs, tables, food and lots more onto the Quetzal's Platform Saddle and hover in the air as you dance to Darude Sandstorm being blasted through someone's mic in game chat. If you can get a quetzal, do consider as they are brilliant!

Important note !!

Quetz will not follow you if you eat a rare flower!

If you use a tapejara to follow and knock out the quetzal you have to whistle follow or else when you switch seats you’ll descend instead of staying in the air

If you have any dodo arrows, make a trap (tutorials on YouTube) the shoot the quetzal with the dodo arrows. The quetzal will get triggered at you and lead it to the trap.

This is for a quick and kind of ez tame for mobile players (i recommend longneck with darts)

1st step Tame a Tapejara (i recommend to level it up first and put some speed)

2nd step look for a quetzal (bring soothing balm and rex kibble for easier tame)

3rd step after u found a quetz, save your game in one of the save slots (mobile only i think)

4th step whistle the tapejara to attack & change to the passenger seat

5th step tame

(Bring some prime if your taming a highlevel or more kibble)

Saw one come out of a rock (on the ground) in mobile, it was about lat 84, long 19, right next to the river, I think that's where they spawn

I have been looking one for days and when I go to the red obby I find 2 in less then 10 mins so go there and up this
