If your having trouble taming one solo, use a rhyniognata, because you can use weapons while flying

The longest way to tame a quetzal✨, first get 100 amber, and then find a griffins at the north west mountain in the island, pick a high level griffin, buy a change name card using 100 amber, and then use that change name card to change your name with the griffin you want to tame with its initial ( i cant explain it any better, just search it up in yt ) and then once it gains respect to you, lour it to your trap, and the give it narcotics after knocking it down, and then go to the south cave and get the artifact, and now tribute it to any obelisk and you'll have a chance for a 10× soothing balm, and then put raw prime meat in the griffin and the soothing balm, and once its tamed, go get rifle with tranc dart, and then knock down the quetzal while riding the griffin, you're welcome.

1. Go to the red obelisk and if you are on mobile, go out of render distance and keep tidy saving till one spawns.

2. If it’s low level, kill it and repeat step one.

I used this tip and now I have 5 quetzals :D

An easier way to trap and tame a Quetzal is to kill it, take its implant, build a big cage around an Obelisk, and revive it. You can then spam tranq arrows at it and tame your beloved Quetzal. Good Luck, Mate! ~WildRapter

I jumped off my flyer and used a net projectile to get a Quetz. Took 4 tries.

Kill it

Revive it

Make sure revival platform is closed or covered from every side

Get tranq darts

Shoot it

FOR SOMEONE WHO SAID THAT THIS THING CAN SPAWN WITH TIDY SAVE I LOVE YOU SOO MUCH,THANKS

Here's an easy way to tame a quetz:get rare flowers and lots of tranq arrows or darts,get lots of narcotics and make sure u don't miss,aim for headshots,lure quetz into trap with 2-3 behemoth gateways and gates,then start the process,use prime meat,mutton,or superior kibble,and we'll done u have tamed a quetz

I love seeing these giants birds flying past us

Yippee!! These things are great!

Have encountered south of green obelisk, north east by swamp of red obelisk, above the mountain in center of red wood forest, and flying around argy mountain.

If you can't find quetzals on a map use this> admincheat distroywilddinos. Then they should start spawning in(warning this kills all wild dinos).

Solo players. Best way to tame this beast is to get a Griffin on Rag by making a trap with stone Dino gate, pillars and stone ceiling. Use a ptera to kite it into the box, dismount and shut the door behind you then knock it out with tranqs. Farm mutton from the nearby Highlands to tame.

You can use the Griffin and shoot whilst flying it

For my first Quetzal, I was on my Pteradon and had my friend being carried with a crossbow with tranquilizer darts. I had to chase it for a good 20-40 minutes. He had to get the perfect angle. Probably isn't the most effective way,but still works. When we found another that was Tek, we used our Quetzal to follow it around and shot it with tranquilizer darts. It worked a lot faster.

You can easily tame a quetzal if you have a wyvern. Just whistle follow and dismount in midair and you SHOULD stay sitting on it's back. Then start tranquilizing it. Hope this helps :D

Taming quetzal then: *Intense sweating and shooting*

Taming quetzal now: haha net gun go brr

Use honey by placing it in your hotbar

and then pressing it

it will drop and lure the quetzal to the ground

be quick and place stone dino gates on top of it till its trapped (aim for center mass with the gates)

Keep dropping honey if it loses interest even when its flying even when its on the ground

wall it off with spikes and begin tranqing

easier than chasing it around while your grappled to an argy😂

Dont forget narcotic

P.s found mine (lvl 125 btw:) ) inbetween the 2 snow mountains on the island map

I tamed one by getting it to aggro on me by taking her egg then led her to my argy trap, But it wasn’t easy although I think it’s an easier way

I use tek quetzals in an interesting way.

I usually put a few foundations down and I put a Indy forge on the back and use it as a portable Indy forge with my ankys

uhm when i fed my quetzal potent dust it kinda got knocked unconsious and it has like 6500 torpor so its gonna take a while
