The fun way is to jump off and grapple to your argie and whistle it to attack and since argies are slow it won’t catch up in time so tranq till it goes out also bring parachutes and consider liking so more people will know

Idk why everyone makes this so complicated with all the grappling stuff all you have to do is,

1. Get or use a tapejara that’s a low level with a couple levels into movement speed

2. Get a rifle or crossbow with either darts or tranqs

3. Find a quetzal and then go to the back of your tapejara and set to attack the quetzal

(Since quetzals have high health and ur using a low level tapejara you can actually leave the tapejara to attack the quetzal, it’ll be fine)

4. Knock It out, not over water, and put whatever you want into it and ban you have a quetzal

Btw, you don’t need to worry about the tapejara’s stamina, it doesn’t decrease while you sit in the back seat

Hit up if this is useful

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.

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.

Guys this is the ersieht was to tame a quetzal. All you need is a tapejara.

1) Whisle your Tapejara to follow you

2) Ride you Tapejara and surch for a quetzal

3) When you found a quetzal, go an the back of the Tapejara (dont forget that you have to make the follow whisle on Tapejara, otherwise the will Flyer to the ground)

4) Make the attack whisle while you are on the Tapejata's back, so your tapejara will follow the quetzal.

5) Just shoot the quetzal with tranq darts/arrow and make the passive whisle on the Tapejara when he is too close to the Quetzal.

6) Repeat that till the quetzal gets knocked out and enjoy your quetzal taming.

TIPP: They spawn near the Obelisk and fly trought the whole map after spawning. GOOD LUCK!

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

Net it, tranq it, find and kill an ovis, then come back to find it was killed by a compy

Real men tame an 150 on a 1x with cooked fish meat

Ive read a few of these tips... Why aren't people using a griffon to shoot from it while flying? I just did that easily they aren't fast flyers. Only downfall was it fell on trees and even after cutting trees down it stayed in mid air... Then for some reason when i need griff to stay stationary while i exit.. It doesnt want to stay still.. And sinomacrops and opening up inventory doesnt work fast enough either lol I just gave up and went to sleep.

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👌
