Requirements: Argentavis with about 2000 stamina with about 110 movement speed and a good amount of melee damage, Crossbow(tranq arrow)/Longneck Rifle Tranq dart), about 50 or more tranquilizers, and about 100 or more narcotics.

In order to knock out the quetzal, the best way is to find a buddy who is willing to help you out. Give the tranq gun to your friend, as he/she will be shooting. You want to get your argentavis and pick them up with the talons. Make sure you don't forget the narcotics! When you have your friend in your talons, go find the quetzal. When you find it I reccomend you land and regain stamina, but don't lose the quetzal. Once you have regained your stamina pick up your friend and proceed to knock out the quetzal. Be sure whoever is shooting to hit it in the head, or else it will take quite a while to take it down. Don't be afraid to land to regain stamina again if needed. Once the quetzal is knocked out, you need to use the narcotics and get food for him.

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 :(

Tamed a level 150 with prime meat and it only got to 163. Disappointed in the app it had been spot on until now.

You need a shocking dart engram, a ptera & some skill. Oh, and a parachute 🪂. Ride on your ptera after the quetzal and hop off with the parachute, whistle follow for your ptera. Shoot the quetz. Reapeat. I shot it in the face a few times next to a rex so it got its due of rockets 🧨 in the face then i shoved some meat 🍖 down the quetzs throat

Anyone know what level mobile players unlock the platform saddle?

Use rare mushrooms and a flyer to lure the quetzal to a premade trap. Try and have the trap secluded and in a higher position so that you aggro less creatures with the mushrooms.

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.
