Tips & Strategies
Easiest way to tame a quetz is to have a quetz with a cage built on it.(assuming you or our tribe already had one) Trap the wild quetz with the quetzal cage being sure to put down your walls at the front of the quetzal cage to lock it in. Hop off your quetz and shoot the recommended amount of arrows into it until it drops. Its at this point you have two options, you can either tame it in the air or have your tribe mates clear the ground area of any agressive dinos below it so that you can the drop the wild quetz on the ground where your not as restricted to what your able to do during the taming process. Be sure to put double spikes around the wild quetz on the ground because some dino such as dilos and carnos can attack through the spikes. This is the easiest tamin method to date once you already have a quetz established.

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
When you tame a quetzal it will be easier to find one but for those who doesn't know where quetzal its spawn near the red obelisks at the beach or the water i have 5 quetzal hopes this helps
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
To the guy who gave specific areas to find these guys on mobile, thank you very much. You’re right… that strip of land in front of craggs island, and the spike directly behind the red obelisk. Kill it and take its implant, and revive it on a platform with an enclosure around it. I’m literally doing just that right now. Happy taming! :D
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!
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👌
If you manage to knock a quetzal out, try starve taming. If you never tried starve taming it’s just leaving a Dino’s hunger go to half way or lower and then you start feeding. I’ve done this many times and it’s very useful taming trick.
SOLO TAME
Bring:
-5 honey
-4 dinosaur gates
-bird
How:
Put the honey in your hotbar (unstack them, so 1 in each slot)
Fly over him en throw the first honey on it’s body (press the hotkey from the honey and it will throw the honey) It will follow the honey that’s falling. Dino’s on the ground will eat the honey too so keep dropping honey until the quetzal is on the ground eating honey.
Place some dinosaur gates on top of him to get him stuck. Shoot it with tranq arrows and feed some prime meat
Easy solo quatzal tame
Enjoy
Important note !!
Quetz will not follow you if you eat a rare flower!
If you have any dodo arrows, make a trap (tutorials on YouTube) the shoot the quetzal with the dodo arrows. The quetzal will get triggered at you and lead it to the trap.
