If on mobile I recommend use a griffin because you can use weapons on its back if you can't take a griffin use a tapjara it's saddle has a backseat you can use weapons just make sure you keep it on follow so it doesn't land and whistle it to attack the Quetzal if the tapjara gets to close for comfort to the Quetzal whistle passive then continue until it's out cold

-My first tip

-How to get a high level quetzal on ark mobile

1) First, go to red obelisk and find a quetzal. then if it's a low level, then attack it and let it fly away of render distance

Fly some distance from red obelisk

Then open settings and click tidy save option

It will spawn a new quetzal

Beware :( All creatures not tamed will despawn )

2) Use this trick to find a high level quetzal Then tame it with a tapejara, Use the passenger seat ( Make sure the tapejara is followin you) Then whistle attack target the quetzal then use crossbow or longneck to knock it down, then tame it...

Quick tip : (it will deaggro if it is not rendered)

If anyone says that the eggs are too sensitive, lemme tellyou this: you can hatch the egg at the blue obelisk on mobile with a rather rinse-and-repeat method once you have fur armor:

-Use three campfires during the day. Make sure the egg is leaning against them to provide adequate shielding against the harsh winter environment.

-Put the egg away at nighttime, as during this time it will be too cold for the campfires to have any effect. (This might be skippable with the use of a Dimetrodon, provided you have leveled it sufficiently for Melee damage, planning to do research on this).

-While the night is upon you, you have 3 options: A. Gather wood and thatch in equal amounts, using your Quetzal to defend you if things go sour, as well as to transport the materials. B. Build a bed at the Blue Obelisk, suicide and then use it to skip the night. And C. Transport the egg somewhere warmer for the night to avoid having to wait. (Option B is probably the most viable)

-Repeat when its daytime again. Follow these steps until your egg hatches. (Keep the egg in a storage closet or inventory such as that of your Quetzal at night to prevent it from despawning while you gather for wood)

Hopefully your little Quetzal will hatch using this method. Might be different on other platforms, but its this way on mobile, plus having to wait only 3 hours and a half whereas Ive heard on other platforms hatching a Quetzal takes 18, so you’re really better off here on mobile.

Hope it helps.

Easiest way for solo tame is with a Griffon.

To tame a quetz, you need longneck rifle, tapejara.

Find the quetz you want in red obilisk,

seat in the passenger seat in the tapejara,

Shot the quetz the best rifle or your crossbow,

Be careful if you drop the quetzal in a alpha creature, giga, swamp, water then go home and give up.

I’m seeing comments about stuff like riding a tapejara and whistling it but legit just net gun it or freeze it with a snow owl and then trap it while it’s frozen

Looking for a Quetzal to tame? Go to red obelisk me and my cousin found 11 over there.

I finally got a quetz from my tribemate but I went on vacation for 5 weeks and forgot to feed him. Rip

One of the easiest way to tame these guys on fjordur, is to bring a desmodus, and use tranq arrows or darts. You can also bring a harpoon launcher to net projectile it, so it gets knocked off the sky (yes, you can shoot while sitting on a desmodus) hope this helps!

Not sure why there are so many tips on taming these things. It's harder to find them, then tame them. Simply tranq from a Rhyniognatha and follow them down, once they fall. Problem is they don't render unless you're right up on them.

This is a pain in the ass to find

Easy way to tame this big guy is kill it and take the implant and revive under a cage in oblisk it take around 45amber to revive just a choice if u suck at arge grabling wishile taming method like me

Yo, I’m on mobile, and my quetzal disappeared into oblivion. Like, I can’t request him or unclaim him in the tame menu. Does anyone know how I can get him back?

Use the net projectile on it. It'll work. (Genesis 2 map has this engram to learn).

The net ties it up and it falls to the ground where you can knock it out. Have fun!

Maybe use rare flowers if you want it over a certain area. IDK.

I’d say the easiest way to tame a quetz is a griffins

i whistled and only one creature that i know of was around me, but 2 creatures heard it!!

she might be close by!!

Use a Griffin. If when it's knocked out it dgets hit a bit wait for it to wake up. You can put some thatch walls around it to trap it. They don't attack the walls so thatch works. Good luck!

I don’t know why people waste parachutes and grapples. Just use a Tapejara, set the target and tranq it out. It’s a lot cheaper.

Find a low lvl first then tame it and build a trap on it then go find a high level and fly in front of it and stop and then place the gate on the back end

On the maps like Fjordur where you can tame the Desmodus, it's really easy to tame a Quetzal. Just follow behind on your Desmodus and shoot it with tranq arrows or darts. Just make sure that you don't make it pass out over water!
