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.

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

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.

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. Upvote if you agree.

Make sure you don't smoke bud when taming or he might wake up

This tip is only if you already have a quetzal available. The easiest way to tame a quetz, is to build a quetz catcher. You can make it out of thatch and its hands down the best tactic. A lot of YouTube videos available on how to build one. Knock it out in the catcher, and you don't have to worry about it getting hit.

If you found one, don't blink while chasing. Don't. Blink.

If you are looking to tame a Quetzal, you need a good lvl TapeJara and a buddy to shoot at the Quetz. I recommend using tranq darts because otherwise you will need a lot of arrows.

I think it is good to tame the lowest lvl you can find then give it a platform saddle and then tame you high lvl

Be careful taming a quetz in a catcher while still in the air. The tame moves a little bit and can push you out.

You need to fix your knock out numbers. This app is good but they are never correct.

A lot of quetzals spawn at red and if you are looking for a high level, kill the low levels and leave a certain distance. repeat until you find what you are looking for! Use a catcher, it makes it a million times easier!

Just an FYI quetz platform saddles are now unlocked at lvl 97 (post patch 257).

For solo tame grapple your argie then instead of having to mess with attack and passive use the follow my target button and just aim for the quetz this will take a long time but no damage will be done to the quetz by your argie

On Ragnarok map they fly low and get stuck on terrain easily. Grab a Griffin and you should be able to solo tame easy.

1.when you are in Range of a quetz Jump off your flying mount and activate your parachute
2.whistle your mount to follow and neutral
3.shoot the Quetz with a grappling hook
4.drag yourself to the quetz
5.now you can easily tranq it out
(6. if it gets unconscious over water you can just tow it to the land while flying)

Quetzals are one of the most useful dinos in ark. But when trying to tame one dont lead it through the redwood, me and my buddy were taming one and it flew through there. Long story short we got ambushed by a thyla and we lost all our taming gear and a high level argentavis

For someone who doesn't already have a Quetz, the best way to tame it is to have a buddy pick you up on either a high stamina Ptera or fast Argent and wait to line up the tranq shot against it's head. Ideally the more of these the better but don't be waiting too long for a good shot otherwise the torpor will quickly go down. When you think you're close to finishing make sure the last few are shot when it's not above water so it doesn't drown, then finish with either a circle of spike walls or some kind of box for protection.

Tame it using a tapi. Get on the front seat, then set your tapi to attack a creature on the ground. Before it attacks the creature, whistle go here toward the Quetzal. From there you can just continue to follow the Quetzal by typing go here while you're tranking it.

Have fun not sleeping because breeding takes so long
