Use another quetz and make a trap on a platform saddle make sure the opening is 3x3

If you're doing it solo get a paracetamol with a platform saddle. Then have a balista with at least 10 chain bolas so if you miss you have extras. Final note don't lose it!!! Keep an eye on where it crashes down.

They offen fly into the pillars on the center map a solo tamer can use this to prevent it from escaping by luring it to a pillar and using the parashoot method can tame more easily.

For taming your first quetz your going to need a fast high stamina pteradon or argentavis. One person flies while one person shoots. Once you've knocked it out tame it with whatever your using to tame it. An easier way is to have an existing quetzal with a platform saddle. You build a quetzal trap on the platform (look it up on YouTube if you don't know how). You trap the quetzal, putting walls behind it so it doesn't escape. You knock it out and tame it. This way is easier and safer, since your taming the quetzal on your quetzals back in the sky. And when you try to knock it out it doesn't run away

Besides using a tapejara, you could use a quetz catcher. You can google this for photos. Basically, if you have a quetz, or someone you know does, you can build a catcher on the back (thatch is fine). After "catching" (making it fly into the catcher) the quetz, jump off the quetz onto the platform saddle and add some walls in the open spaces (where it flew into). Then, you can shoot it with darts or arrows till it's down. Or, you can have a friend shoot at it from another bird/platform.

First if possible have someone on a server who already has a Quetzal(and a platform saddle) that will be willing to help you by building a box shape on the platform leaving the back open, next fly in front of the Quetzal having it fly into the box then put the back walls on completing the box and making it so the Quetzal is trapped, after that fly closer to the ground in a safer area and proceed to knock it out after it unconscious take the back walls off and have the person with the starting Quetzal fly forward let the Quetz to fall onto the ground so you can begin taming!

In so glad that Quensel has a platform saddle

Just use console cheats and fly to the quetzal and trank it till it's down it's ez as that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm pretty sure you can bait it to come down with honey and then you can just net it or trap it with dino gates and then get to taming it but be careful because other creatures will also get attracted so be sure to bring a decent amount of honey with you.

You can grapple onto them making it much easier

Kill it- take it’s implant. Use revival platform and bola it once revived. Tranq it.

Get a friend pick em up with either and ergy or a petrodon with rly good steam and get to to shoot it in the head you could also try and see if they can jump onto its back and shoot it in the back of the head till it gets knocked out

Thees thing are the hardest thing to tame so I was taming a level 1 i I had 200 darts then I shot 50 then it went in the red woods got killed 5 times! Lost 4 tapejaras when I finally knocked it out with 12 darts left it died by a dumb carno then I cried I wasted 3 hours of my life I could have tamed a titansaur in that time so uses tames for are not worth.

Dose anyone know how many tranquilliser darts it takes to ko a lvl 2 quetzal with an asendent longneck rifle?

i’ve searched the whole universe + i haven’t found quetz = bruh

up if i should look more

On Lost Island, I found a few on the border of the Red woods and the Snowy Biome

I’m submitting this for the mobile players as soon as you reach lv 70 and complete the kill argentavis pursit build a revival platform and put a roof on to the revive platform. the quetzal you kill you will farm Amber to revive by date and time the you can finish the job with tranq arrows or tranq darts then tame with red kibble from the food work shop

Usually found these in redwood near red obelisk

They spawn near the Grand Canyon and the swampy moat on ragnarok

Make sure to calculate hom much nacotic darts u need to bring one down because it will take alot and if u can bring a cross bow with alot of tranq arrows
