Use a tapejara if your trying to tmae a quetz omg it's saved me a lot of tranq ammo

Three stepped method of how to tame a high level quetzal on mobile solo:

1. Tame a tapejara and pump its speed

2. Fly up to a quetzal (preferably low level female) on your tapejara, get on the passenger seat, whistle your tapejara to attack the quetzal and start tranqing. Whistle passive if your tapejara gets too close. When the quetzal goes down, quickly secure the area. You can use spiked walls. Once you get your first quetzal, pump speed, stamina, and maybe weight.

3. Kill every quetzal you see until a high level one spawns. Put a platform saddle on your low lvl quetzal, build a 3x3x3 box on its back with one side opened. Fly ahead of the high lvl quetzal and wait for it to enter the box. Then build walls/doorframe to complete the box and now you have a trapped high lvl quetzal and you can tranq it. However, once knocked out, the quetzal will most likely glitch through and fall to the ground, so make sure you avoid trapping quetzals over dangerous areas or water.

Just got a lvl 194 female quetzal like this.

If you have a dodo arrow(only on mobile) the quetzal will agro on you and as long as you can out run it you can pelt it with tranq

If you’re on mobile and don’t mind spending a little bit of amber, kill one with a pteranodon or something [DON’T HARVEST THE BODY], grab its implant, create a trap around an obelisk or one of your revival platforms then revive it inside the trap and you can easily knock it out without using grappling hooks or making a flyer aggro it, risking your flyer being faster and killing it. A level 15 one would cost around 35 amber to revive though you can easily get amber by opening supply drops. This isn’t the best way as amber is hard to get but out of all the techniques I’ve seen it’s the easiest

Just tame a Desmodus in fjordur and you can shot to the quetzal in the air. Be aware when It falls sleep, every dino likes to attack him.

The Quetzal is a behemoth of a creature with base stats that top the charts (health, stamina, weight, and torpor). The Quetzal's platform saddle make it an excellent choice for a mobile air base or even a caravan for transporting and gathering metal and other supplies on harder to reach areas. While its melee strength isn't as high as some might expect, its health and ability to carry weapons make it suitable to use as a war bird. Its preference for Rex Kibble make it difficult to tame, and even more so difficult to knock out in the air.~ Steel Cookie 123

Net it, trap it with gates around it, Trang it

Hit em with that net gun. Then shoot them in the head with shocking tranq darts or reg tranq darts and baboom you have a quetzal.

This tip is good for mobile find the big bird then kill take its implant revive in box tame it done

Use 1 shocking tranq darts and then shoot it a few times with a tranq arrows for your first low lvl quetz it's easier and faster and it lower the risks of get downed and then dropping in water

The best KO method is to just chase it down riding a griffin, which is the only vanilla flyer that you can use weapons while riding. Alternatively you can "ride" a wyvern by standing on its back without actually mounting it and using whistle commands, you can also mount a tapejara's passenger seat and do that without the slight risk of falling like with a wyvern. Another alternative is to have a friend carrying you with a stamina leveled pteranodon (argentavis might work but it's a bit slow), but be careful not to accidentally shoot your pteranodon!

I swear when ever I would knock one of these guys out if would always find a way to commit suicide from getting knocked out in the middle of the swamp to drowning in the most tiny puddle I ever seen. I cried because this game just does not want me to have a quetzal

Followed it on my pt and when it flew down to the ground and got stuck in a wall I placed multiple stone Dino gates on him and ko’ed him.

The best place to find them are around the red obalisk

Is there any way to lure it into a trap? Pls tell.

If the one u are taming is 30 or below(level) use one Kibble and one Balm, insta taming, Works for all Difficulties, but better at EASY

To tame them you need a strong flyer kill them make a revival platform and then make a trap of pillars you can also use obelisk do not harvest them first

If you finding a Quetzal just go to South Isle it is easy to find just find in the sky they are always in the sky and make sure you have a tapejara or a griffin to tame it easy.....

Simply get a snow owl, find a safe place, freeze it out of the sky,the quetz will walk for a few seconds.freeze again and place 4 dinosaur gates. Bring food and narcotics, enjoy your new quetz! This in my opinion is the Easiest way to tame a quetz in ark, no chain bolas no grappling hooks.

Before you knock it out make sure you got spikes to put around it just a tip
