Simply get a snow owl, find a quetz, once in a safe place, freeze it out of the sky,the quetz will walk for a few seconds.freeze again and place 4 dinosaur gates.

If you want to tame one set a tamed Tapejara to follow you but you have to be off your tame first then find change seats a quetzal set it to attack the quetzal and shoot some tranqs and you can set your Tapejara to follow you when you are of it and when you fly it it will stay in the air so it is a easy way to kill alpha’s.

These things spawn in abundance in Crystal Isles. If you're looking for a good one, I suggest you go there.

Best solo method that I've found, by far, is to use a Archaeopteryx with a Tapejara. Once you find a Quetz, jump off and switch to front passenger. Whistle attack while shooting tranqs, then whistle passive once you get too close. I bring Argies and set target and follow distance both to high, make them follow the Tapejara. When you eventually knock the Quetz, whistle the Argies to follow you to defend it wherever it lands. Make sure all the Argies are set to "Only attack conscious".

Any taming food or kibble I bring, I place in the Tapejara and have them set to passive when I land. Once you knock a Quetz out of the sky, you can use crouch to go straight down with the Tapejara so you don't lose where the Quetz lands.

If you are on crystal isles and you want a quetz the easiest way to knock it out is with a griffin because you can use weapons on it and you still have full control

bring 2 people, chain bolas and a ballista turret to raids to stop the gigas, also be careful to not hit the quetz. rip ernie

If you're on a cluster bring a snow owl and freeze it mid air and just surround the quetz with gates

Easy af if you have a tribe mate and tapejara just fly up to the quetz and let your probe just tranq is out make sure it’s not over water obviously

Get urself a griffin....tranq the quetz from the back of the griffin....raw mutton works best if you don't have kibble...tada...quetz

So this is funny and a tip but if you use a platform saddle build a flying base

If you with tribe mates just get either argy or pteranodon pick up your tribe mate and the tribemate who has been picked up just start tranqin out with any tranq ammo worked for me and now I have 2 high lv quetzals 🙂

I find that the best way to encounter these beings is by not having the equipment or dinosaurs to knock it. The level is determined by distance from your base/supplies (easier to get supplies=lower level).

In extinction get a snow owl and ice bomb the quetzals back ,it will freeze and fall to the ground then place some stone dinosaur gates and that’s a trapped quetzal

I've seen a couple flying down near the southern beach, they like quite cool.

Screw flyers nerf, I'm just gonna boost the hell out of a proctodon

Theyre great Metal companions esspicialy in Brutal mode cuz when you knok a High level quetz youll get lots metal in easy mode theyre kinda useless cuz of theyre low level and weight (also btw dont put storage boxes in its back and fill it with metal the quetzal will notice the metal in the storage boxes)

Anyone else having trouble trying to ride this guy on Fjordur Single Player? I have both platform and regular saddle, but they both aren't working. Someone help?

Just a quick tip of was at my base at the mountain in the redwoods when I spotted him mid air and was pretty scary

If you forget were your quetzal is just request the creature i could have lots of dinos if i know that
