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 and consider liking so more people will know

If you drop a quetzal due to knockout, and it lands next to a giga...just know, the quetzal belong to the giga. Now you get to watch your would be quetzal get eaten by a giga. Now you can go home and cry.

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!

Use a netgun when it flies above ground. Once netted, either have a trap ready for high levels or shoot tranq arrows into their eyes(more dmg). It you have a buddy, have them shoot with tranq darts while you shoot into the eyes with arrows. Be careful though as they’re kinda wimpy at times. Super hard to tame while solo without a net gun.

Tamed it with cooked fish meat and missed my girlfriend's birthday and our wedding.

You can net a quetzal but before you do clear the area of any hazards and hop on you creature and bet it (Make sure you don’t shoot it when it is asleep because when is has the bet on it looks like it’s asleep)

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.

Important note !!

Quetz will not follow you if you eat a rare flower!

2022: The easiest possible method to execute, but requires a bit of setup prior to it.

1. Any flyer will be be fine. I used a Wyvern, and a Sinomacrops.

2. Have parachutes at the ready.

3. Position yourself over the Quetzal you want to tame.

4. Drop on it, and while falling, hit it with a Net Projectile from the Harpoon Launcher. You can unlock both on Lost Island. It will fall to the ground, trapped.

5. Tranquilize while it’s down. You’ll have plenty of time.

6. Tame.
