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.

The easiest way to tame for mobile players is to kill it take its implant make a revival platform build a thatch house around the platform res pawn it knock it out give it meat give it a saddle and if you made the house right when you ride the quetzal he will tellport through the ceiling

Stay away from any water sources!

For some reason on Ark Mobile, it does not allow me to shoot off an Argentavis when grappled. I think that is a bug on my phone. Anyways, I found the easiest way to get a Quetzal is to ride a Tapejara with multiple seats on the saddle, and then go to second seat. When you do this, shoot the Quetzal and use the spy glass to target him. If you keep shooting the Quetzal while it runs, you should not have to whistle passive for your Tapejara. Then, grab some meat and a lot of bio toxin. Boom, you have your new Quetzal.

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 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.

You can use honey to lure the quetzal to the ground and into a trap.

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

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.
