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

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

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

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

If you are on ragnarok just use a griffin because you can shoot off the back

Ez to knock out, I recommend using a desmo or any flyer who can allow holding crossbows

For Mobile Players below level 85 wanting to tame this, first get a flying creature faster or as fast as A Quetz, Get a grapple hook and a crossbow, Plus Taming gear and while in midair near the Quetz, Jump off and shoot your creature with the grapple, Bring parachutes if You fall, and now you’re hanging on your creature with a grapple whistele attack target on the quetz and when it gets colse whistle passive, shoot the quetz with Tranq arrows/ Toxicant/ Darts And the whistle attack again and when close whistle passive, while doing this shoot it with knockout weapean and do it until it is knocked, but dont let it get out of range because you wont be able to whistle attack and you’ll be stuck.

If you don't have any flyers you can grapple the quetzal and shoot him from underneath and also remember to put a parachute on your hotbar and once it gets ko equip your parachute and feed it either kibble or meat

Using a Griffin to tame is very easy I found because the Griffin's are like little helicopters you can fly around it while shooting the Quetzal with a bow and tranq arrows. And then if you're too high up when the Quetzal knocks out you can dive below and catch it a few times before it hits the ground

Use a desmodus. You can shoot on its back and it can fly backwards.

Quetzals are one of the most useful dinos in ark. But when trying to tame one dont lead it through the redwood, me and my buddy were taming one and it flew through there. Long story short we got ambushed by a thyla and we lost all our taming gear and a high level argentavis

I tamed mine with a Griffin at red obelisk

The people fighting about taming it normally or using the grapple method:

Dodo arrow: Amateurs.

Use a netgun when it flies above ground. Once netted, either have a trap ready for high levels or shoot tranq arrows into their eyes(more dmg). It you have a buddy, have them shoot with tranq darts while you shoot into the eyes with arrows. Be careful though as they’re kinda wimpy at times. Super hard to tame while solo without a net gun.

Once tamed a Quetzal’s stats go up a RIDICULOUS amount. It’s weight goes up by around 200 for a wild lvl 80, which means they are PERFECT for collecting MASSIVE amounts of heavy mats like Metal, Obsidian and Wood. Their health from a wild lvl80 also goes up by around 2000, which is pretty good, and when lvled their health goes up by 500, more or less, each time, which can make them AMAZING 🤩 tankers. Their melee tamed stat can also go up by 100%, And don’t get me started on the overpowered knockback. I just wish these guys fitted in caves.

Best Tame for weightlifting in the sky’s

If you have a friend ask him to help

Get a flyer then grap your friend and fly up to the quetz and Shot it. Be careful where you want to tame it because it is More likly That they will drown in Rivers

Good luck survivor !!!

If on extinction or transferred a SNOW OWL over to another map you can freeze them out the sky and they will land, which could make things easier for you

the only one I found was north of the blue obelisk

found 2 of these I think I am real lucky cause im typing this from mobile
