With two people and a tapejara, this is literally a cakewalk, so long as it lands in a safe spot.

Just tame a Desmodus in fjordur and you can shot to the quetzal in the air. Be aware when It falls sleep, every dino likes to attack him.

Shoot it with a net gun. Pin it in place with stone dino gates. Tranq it!

If you already have a quetzal build a trap on it with a trapdoor on the top. Fly infront of the wild quetzal and make it fly inside. Unmount at a slight angle and the wild quetzal will get stuck. Now you can stand there mid flight and tame it.

Notice:

1 dont move your quetzal or the wild one could slip out, even when asleep.

2 add gates and a ramp to lure in ground animals.

3 gate to the front to trap smaller birds (just fly faster than them and "net" them like a jellyfish.

4 add ceilings around the trap as a platform to move on.

5 build the trapdoor and front gate in a way so they are open while you are flying (auto open and close).

6 add a ramp or path so you can get to your quetzal and mount it while flying.

Personally i added a fridge and bed to store kibble and let me spawn there.

Using this with doed/ank is a really good way of collecting resources, pump stam/weight

If you knockout Quetzal and it drops into water, know two things: 1 it’s gonna drown if u don’t get it out, and 2 if it does drown take implant and resurrect it try again..

Make a metal box and pick up creatures and just drop them in for easy tames and they can't fight back

I was using a rocket launcher in the redwoods and I found one but I accidentally blew it up😔😔😔😔

How I tamed a quetzal is by riding a tapajrea sitting in the fount then ordering it to follow a quetzal while constantly shooting it with a long neck rifle with some tranq darts

TAME ONE THERE ARE GOOD FOR BAIT AND TAMING LIKE THE ROCK GOLEM BECAUSE OF THE PLATFORM SADDLE!!!!!!!!

On mobile all you need to tame this is a parachute, tranquilizer darts, a gun to shoot them and a tapiijara set on aggressive with you in the passenger seat, once you knock the quetzal out jump off with a parachute and tame them.

If you’re on mobile and don’t mind spending a little bit of amber, kill one with a pteranodon or something [DON’T HARVEST THE BODY], grab its implant, create a trap around an obelisk or one of your revival platforms then revive it inside the trap and you can easily knock it out without using grappling hooks or making a flyer aggro it, risking your flyer being faster and killing it. A level 15 one would cost around 35 amber to revive though you can easily get amber by opening supply drops. This isn’t the best way as amber is hard to get but out of all the techniques I’ve seen it’s the easiest

Net it, trap it with gates around it, Trang it

Hit em with that net gun. Then shoot them in the head with shocking tranq darts or reg tranq darts and baboom you have a quetzal.

The Quetzal is a behemoth of a creature with base stats that top the charts (health, stamina, weight, and torpor). The Quetzal's platform saddle make it an excellent choice for a mobile air base or even a caravan for transporting and gathering metal and other supplies on harder to reach areas. While its melee strength isn't as high as some might expect, its health and ability to carry weapons make it suitable to use as a war bird. Its preference for Rex Kibble make it difficult to tame, and even more so difficult to knock out in the air.~ Steel Cookie 123

Quetzals will most likely spawn inbetween Craggs Island and the Red Obelisk, around 85,20, its spawn is just above the river that flows through the side of the island

Use 1 shocking tranq darts and then shoot it a few times with a tranq arrows for your first low lvl quetz it's easier and faster and it lower the risks of get downed and then dropping in water

Great carriers. Use for turret soak in Pvp

They dont throw you down like argies and pteras do so you can tame another quetzal with quetzal

This tip is good for mobile find the big bird then kill take its implant revive in box tame it done
