Best way to tame this guy is to jump off a flyer, harpoon it with a net projectile, and parachute down. Be sure your flyer is on passive and following you. Then, trap it with pillars and ceilings. Tranq it in the head and there you go!

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.

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.

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.

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

Go near red oblisk you will find one

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)

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

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.

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

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)

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

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.

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

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

Solo taming is a ton easier now with a Tapejara. Fly near to the quetz, get off, get in the front passenger seat and whistle attack target on the quetz. Get your tranqs out and shoot it down with ease! (Also it's an exciting chase around the map, though on PvP you might have to watch out for enemy bases)

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

Fly with griffon and easy job and enjoy

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