PEOPLE have problems from taking their tames back home. Either they die,get stuck or you kill them. But it usually happens cause you are on land. SO? GET a Quetzal and a platform and load up your tame on the platform and BOOM!You,your quetzal and your new tame can get a safe flight back to your base. JUST pump some health and weight.

Good way to tame solo is to sit on the front seat of a tapejara (with not too much melee damage) and set it to attack. Then just aim for it’s head. When it lands, make sure u have spiked walls to surround it as many things will want to eat it. Go for a low level quetzal for ur first one

Take double nay, triple the amount of tranq arrows (if thats what ur using) as half of the shots you take won’t actually hit due to a weird hitbox. Also take excess narcotics as this poor birb gets nightmares and likes to wake up quick!

If you didn't know this already quetzals never land unless there tamed.

To solo take a quetzal I used a snow owl to freeze it midair and then placed stone gates on top of it. From there just knock it out and start taming

Cheat summon quetzal_character_bp_c

After you summon it use forcetame

Only works on console

Use the net gun on one and then build a trap around it. Easy as that

You will need:

3 dodo arrows (to Argo it on you)

500 biotoxin (if taming without balm) and 100 if using a balm.

4 dinosaur gates

A lot of raw meat

About 100 tranq arrows

First of all, set up 3 dinosaur gates in a square shape.

Now, find your quetzal, and hit it with 1 dodo arrow until it chases you. When it starts to chase you, quickly lead your quetzal to the trap and trap it. As soon as your quetzal is trapped, put the last dinosaur gate right behind the quetzal, to stop it from moving quickly. Now, knock it out.

Very easy to tame if you can get yourself a griffin

While I’ve never managed to tame one personally despite my efforts, I think I have a general idea of how these guys are tamed. The Quetzal taming process is divided into sections called “Stages”. I am doing this to make it easier to understand.

Stage 1: “The Prep Period”

As it’s name suggests, during Stage 1 you will be making preparations for the initial taming procedure. These preparations are no easy feat, so be careful. You will want to do the following:

-Gather biotoxin to keep the Quetzal asleep (ideally with a Spino for melee damage and for luring Cnidaria to shore easily)

-Gather meat (and prime meat, if possible) for the actual taming procedure.

-Ensure you have tranq darts and their respective weapon (Longneck Rifle I think? Correct me if I’m wrong). If you do not

Taming:

Get any level of lymantria (saddle not needed)

Whistle the lil limmy in the air and grapple it

Whistle it aggressive on the quetzal (they don’t do damage, and their moth poison slows the quetzal down significantly)

Tranq out the quetzal

Put spikes round it and give it its kibble mutton or prime

Enjoy your new skybase (level weight stamina and health)

Y’all saying that the quetzal is slow but mine had like a 160% speed and was able to out fly a tapejara and someone said that they’re faster on mobile so that kinda explains why, now my quetzal has 203% speed with a scarf giving 20% more speed making it 243% speed😏

You can tame by yourself on griffin.

Once I was looking for a uni, then I did the tidy save. I went to red ob and found a really low lvl. Didn't kill it as I was going to tame it. Got my tranq darts and it vanished. Went looking again, found one on argy mountain. Found another near the green ob and when I was still a noob I found one that was actually LANDED in the green ob area. There is a glitch that can have a quetzle land without it being tamed. And I know it was wild because I was playing single player.

I don’t know why they say it’s hard I killed my (on accident) and then used a reviving platform with a thach structure around it and had it enclosed on top and then Knocked it out and tamed it

Okay so if you see that they spawn near the obelisk don’t get me wrong but that’s not the only place the other place is in the mountain near the redwoods. I have 5 now since that I started doing that. It became so much easier I have 3 griffins, 5 quetzals, 2 mosasaurus, and 1 plesiosaur I used to have 3 gigas but I killed them. Also one last thing, make shocking tranq darts it’s much easier with a griffin.

Just find a quez at red obelisk 🔺

Or at green🟩

Kill It 🗡

Don’t harvest it⛏

Take its implant💠

Have about 25-30 amber🔸

Build an 8’8 box 📦

Revive it 😇

Knock it out 💤

Use Rex kibble or exceptional kibble or prime meat 🥩

Put its saddle on and ride it 🦖

Love it till it dies 🥰=😵

1. Find a quetzal then jump of your tame and grapel your tame

2. Set your tame to passive

3.whisle your tame to attack my target

4. Then you use your trangs

1. Find a quetzal on a flyer

2. Chase and kill

3. Wait for it to drop to the floor and retrieve it’s implant

4. Enter to revival platform

You now have yourself a quetzal

Holy shit didn’t realise how big they were lol

Simply tell a wyvern to follow you ride on it the shoot it from its back then when it lands kill all carnivores in the area and I'm mean all! Then if you want to be extra safe build some spikes around it.
