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

Hit up if this is useful

If you drop a quetzal due to knockout, and it lands next to a giga...just know, the quetzal belong to the giga. Now you get to watch your would be quetzal get eaten by a giga. Now you can go home and cry.

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

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!

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

Tamed it with cooked fish meat and missed my girlfriend's birthday and our wedding.

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

To tame thsi dude

1. Get a platform saddle of quetzal and ride on it.

2. Whistle to follow and dismount.

3. Start shooting tranq bullets.

4. Give it kibble and don't forget to bring some narcotics if you're not using kibble.

5. Wait, and bam! You've a quetzal!..

Up this so people can know this

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

I managed to tame one of these using pteranodon and sinomacrops (quetzal lvl 25).

Ptera to catch up with the quetz, then jump and fly using sinomacrops while shooting tranqs at the big fella. Do so over and over until it gets knocked out.

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👌

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!

Who else thinks that they should make the normal saddle a multi-passenger

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.

Make sure to bring a soothing balm helps a lot

Important note !!

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

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.

Qetals are ALIENS! creatures. They are very rare, but the main thing is that they never go down, unless you made one unconces. They even spawn on the air, but how do they grow up and be not hungry, thirsty, but healthy. If they can survive up there they arn't normal creatures. They have to be a different complex organisms. UP for more documentaries.

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
