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

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!

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

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

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

Alright, so you have a low level quetzal and now you want to build a trap to tame a higher level quetz. But you realize that in some darn way you can’t fit 6 foundations on the mobile quetz platform like in pc or like the youtube tutorial have said. Here what you’ll need if you want to build a trap with only 2 stone foundations, this is for mobile player who cannot place 6 foundations like me:

- 2 stone foundations

- 24 stone ceilings

- 18 stone doorframes

- 16 stone pillars

- 1 dino gateway (stone or wood works fine)

Now, start by placing down 2 stone foundations, then place the stone ceilings around it. If you do this correctly, you would have a 3x4 rectangle shape with the longer corner being by the quetzal’s wing area. On both the long corner, place 2 ceilings down in the middle. Now you should have a very scuff “+” shape. Place 4 pillar each on the ceilings you just placed and place doorframe on the corner of the trap. Place the rest of the ceilings on top. Now you should have a box with one side open, you’ll try to place down the stone gateway on this size when you have the quetz inside your box

I have run tested this 3 times, as i found 3 quetz in the same area. And this is how i got my lvl 100 female quetz

Good luck survivor, hope this help! ^^

Important note !!

Quetz will not follow you if you eat a rare flower!
