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

Want to tame one of these? Well, you came to the right place! These guys are pretty hard to tame. (Took me a month to find one) Here is a guild on how to tame one:

What You need to pack:

50 tranq arrows or 30-40 tranq darts

1crossbow or 2 crossbows or 1-2 Longneck rifles

50 raw prime meat or more

200 raw meat

500 narcotics just in case

Grappling hooks

What tames you might need:

Tapejara with its saddle ( 3 seater)

Argy with its saddle

Way number 1 ( I did it this way)

Hop on your argy and look for a quetzal (They usually spawn around the red obelisk near some islands)

Since Quetzals never land, look in the air for one.

Once you found one, Jump from your argy and grapple it. You may want to practice before you try to tame the quetzal. Whistle attack on the quetzal and hit it with tranq ammo. Feed it meat and there you go!

Way 2

To make this way short, do the same this as with the argy but use a tapejara and sit on the extra seats. Tranq it and feed it meat!

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

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!

You can use rare flowers to lure the quetzal your taming to a trap and make sure no other dinos are in the area of your trap

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

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👌

first TAME griffin or tapejara and tame low level quetzal and second if you tame quetzal buy in store saddle and buy saddle platform or if you have it and you have and build in trap to the platform fly it trap it the quetzal in the trap platform saddle

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.

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
