Build a ramp on the side of the platform saddle and park an anky on the edge of the ramp. Fly to your favorite metal node farming spot with your tribe and let them just swing away. The anky's weight doesn't affect the quetz's weight.

Knocking Out: To knock out a Quetz, best idea you can do is be carried by a Argie, people say Ptera but I prefer not since it's feet can easily be shot by the arrow, and keep on targeting the head. Remember to put speed up for Argie as the Quetz have a decent speed on their hands. You can also use another Quetz with a platform, but this is only if you do not own another one.

Knocking it out: First, you will need an argey, 2 crossbows, parachutes, tranqs, and grappling hooks. Fly up to the quetz with the argey, hop off with parachute, make sure argey is following you,grapple to it then whistle attack target on the quetz, then when you get close enough to shoot it with a tranq arrow, whistle passive then shoot, quickly whistle attack target on the quetz because it will flee far and fast. Repeat this until it is successfully knocked out.

Use a tapejara to tame, simply get a friend with tranqs to sit on the front seat and shoot it while the driver follows it.

On the center quetzels spawn at blue and red obelisks, they also spawn in jungle mid

Have one of your tribe members pick you or another person up while holding a crossbow/rifle then simple have the flyer fly over the quetzal and shoot at it till KO'ed

If your alone do the same thing except use a grappling hook and connect to your flyer of choice and whistle the flyer to attack my target while aiming at the quetzal and whistle stop all when in shooting distance of the quetzal

I’ve searched around the red obelisk for like an hour straight and none spawned :(

Why dont everyone talks about the griffin method. If u are in late game and ur quetzal died. Use a griffin to knock it out. Since griffins are fast and u can use either a longneck or crossbow to tame it. It may not sound fun but trust me. Works everytime. Hope this helps

You can use a rare flower and a birdcage trap in order to tame. Use 4 behemoth gateways and 2 gates, line them up like you would an argy trap, use the flower next to the Quetzal when it flies close to something like a mountain, or use it on the back of a flyer, and lead it into the trap just like you would an argy.

Net gun it out of sky trank it to unconscious then put meat in Inventory then wait

It’s long winded but here goes tame a pteredon, build a massive trap, catch and tame a griffin. Now go get that quetzal. You can shoot off the griffin’s back no need for buddy or platform quetzal trap

These guys pretty much spawn anywhere on the map except the artic and I think redwoods. They are almost always high up in the sky so you can't shoot it from the ground maybe if you can shoot it with a chain bola if lucky but your gonna have to get a flyer if you want to kill or tame a queaztal

Easiest way alone is to close distance with a flyer and use a crossbow with hooks to attach to the quetz then whatever weapon to knock it.

On the platform saddle place a bed and a teleporter (if mod is added), so that you can't lose it and can respawn on it and also same with teleporter

I've seen a couple max levels around the alpha plains on the island

Anyone who wants to ride a tamed but no saddle complete tame quetzal and u get a saddle i got journey man after tame quetz its tame titano

just make a trap with 3 bahemoth gates like a huge argie trap and lure it in with rare flower

You have to use darts for this Dino, or else it will die.

If you use an owl and freeze it in the air, you can trap it with gates, and it cant flu away

Make a thatch platform 2 or 3 high and surround it with thatch but make sure you can still shoot it and make sure to put a revival platform in the center kill your quetzal take its implant and revive it. It worked for me every time just make sure you have amber, narcotics and a tranquilizer dart in a gun easy peasy and you can let it sit there if you need to get more stuff
