A fun way that I found to tame one of these:

What you need:

* an argy or PT

* some parachutes

*harpoon gun (w/net Projectile)

*tranq darts/shocking tranqs

Since these guys don't like to land, I found this strategy to be pretty affective for taming. I guess you could also wait for the quetzal to get a little too close to land, but that could take a while. Just find a quetzal, then fly a little bit over it with your flyer. (Make sure your flyer is set to follow you so it's not stuck high up in the air if you miss the first time.) Then you jump off your flyer, use a parachute to get closer, and then hit the quetzal with the net projectile. In my experience, the quetzal shouldn't take fall damage from the fall. Then all you have to do is float down to where it fell, tranq it out and tame! Easy as pie.

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!

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.

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👌

A method I find easy to solo tame a quetzal is using a desmodus. Tame a desmodus with decent stam and since you can shoot off the back of a desmodus you just chase the quetzal around and shoot it occasionally. The only method that's ever worked reliably for me.

Important note !!

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

On mobile you can go to red ob and do a tidy save that will make an quetz spawn on a small island in front of the ob.

Bro whoever said that god to red obelisk and do a tidy save and get a quetzel bruh my game gave me a titanosour instead of quetzel 🤣
