Many pepole are saying get a bird and grapple it and make it chase the argi while taming. If your in single player then you can get a tapojira get its saddle go to the back seet of the saddle and knock it out that way instead

I’ve found quetzals around the river dividing the volcano from the redwoods and the island next to the red obliesk. But you have to go to a certain height to get them to spawn

It’s pretty hard to find and you have to a lot of arrows so make sure your prepared

Saw someone else posted they had luck with the Griffin, just coming here to say I just tamed a 168 tek quetz using the griffin with about 1600 stam and a base level longneck.

So now you know, Griffin makes for a good quetz gaming animal without needing any sort of trap, just follow and shoot. Aim for the head for bonus points and an accuracy debuff.

By the far the BEST tames even in 2024

Need to carry heavy stuff?

Need to build smth mobile?

Need a flying tank?

QUTZ GOT YOU

(Glazing it cuz nostalgia)

it is about the same speed as a wild tapejara when at 200% movement speed (max)

Be sure to have a back up flyer if you are using the (Argentavis grappling) method; because you can miss the grappling hook while you are high up in the air and have your argentavis stuck up there while you are on the ground and it can't hear your whistle.

You will need a back up flyer in that case.

Go near red oblisk you will find one

Since I tried to catch second quetzal with quetzal trap (mobile), it no longer to get stuck in the trap, it will fly through the trap.

If you're rich af, just kill it, take the implant, set a trap on the revival platform, revive it then mag dump all your tranqs on this mf

How do you heal a wild quetz that trapped for tanning purposes? Any tips and tricks are appreciated.

These bad boys spawn around many different areas such as they are sometimes close to blue oby rarely but the are mostly around red oby(there sometimes near volcano)

Shoot it with a dodo arrow and it will start chasing and attacking you. Shoot it with shocking tranq dart and knock it. Then the usual soothing balm+ prime meat or Rex kibble. Up for noobs

2022: The easiest possible method to execute, but requires a bit of setup prior to it.

1. Any flyer will be be fine. I used a Wyvern, and a Sinomacrops.

2. Have parachutes at the ready.

3. Position yourself over the Quetzal you want to tame.

4. Drop on it, and while falling, hit it with a Net Projectile from the Harpoon Launcher. You can unlock both on Lost Island. It will fall to the ground, trapped.

5. Tranquilize while it’s down. You’ll have plenty of time.

6. Tame.

To those who say it’s impossible to tame in single player on mobile, it isn’t. I killed one, built a cage at an obelisk, respawned it using amber, and knocked it out. So, to the people who don’t have friends, you can still find a way to get this big boi.

Pretty hard to tame, was chasing a level 50 female for about 2 hours and I just gave up. I also only had tranq arrows and did not have a way to make it fly to the ground. I would like a good easy method to tame without making it a pain to do.

Tame 3 quetz, 1 base 1 defense 1 to Cary creatures

They spawn all over but always make a B line for the red obelisk

I only saw this once when I was riding a pteranodon, I was unprepared and inexperienced at the time. Now I have a tapejara and a good longneck rifle but I've been flying around the red obelisk for a while now and still no quetz

Fly with griffon and easy job and enjoy
