How I solo tamed it with no quetzals: Got on my platform saddle bronto got my pachy on a cliff dropped it onto it set them both to passive went up a mountain (bring sweet veg cakes bronto slips and falls a lot. A LOT. Mine only didn’t die because I had some spare vegan bois in the back (achatinas I had for cm on obsidian runs) had plenty of em tho. Next get on pachy at highest point and start Aggro misting. Kill anything that’s not a quetz. If you don’t want that lv or gender quetz then kill it log out go online walk down the mountain (not with ur tames just use a pteranodon so u can not take fall damage get gangbanged by allos or have a bumpy ride)then come back up and more will be there then repeat until correct quetz and knock it on ur saddle. Tame it set it on wandering passive go back to home base with ur bronto and pachy and req it. BOOM. My second method is somewhere in these tips you’ll have to find it. It’s super easy if u have a quetz. Not enuff room to type any more srry!

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
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👌
Important note !!
Quetz will not follow you if you eat a rare flower!
If you have any dodo arrows, make a trap (tutorials on YouTube) the shoot the quetzal with the dodo arrows. The quetzal will get triggered at you and lead it to the trap.
To solo tame, grapple to an argentavis, and be ready to set your argentavis to passive and attack my target on command. Just maintain a process of having your argentavis chase the quetzal, when you get close enough set it passive, then fire a tranq dart/arrow. This is a long process, but it is by far the easiest way to solo tame, unless you already have a quetzal.
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 🤣
Best way is to use a partner to help you chase it down w a argii or Pt but in my opinion the best way is to get a griffin and shoot at it. Hit box kinda sucks but wait and shoot and wait again while you chase it with tranqs. If it gets stuck on the side of a cliff while chasing it down … then much easier. Best solo way.
