My friend and I went to tame one of these suckers and we were on a pteranodon the pteranodon only fell asleep once. But remember just be consistent even with tranq arrows on a journeymen crossbow and over 100 arrows.

The real easiest way is to just shoot at it from the back of a griffin. Easy and efficient

You can net a Quetzal, up this that everyone can see this

PS: that makes the taming part soooo much easier

The easiest way to tame a Quetzin Ark(mobile), find a flat area and place a revive platform and build walls 4 high around and cover it with roofs, preferably somewhere near your base. Go to the red obi there are 2 spawns there sometimes you’ll only find 1. One spawns on the mini islands and one near the obi. Kill the low level ones and MAKE sure to eat it so new ones would spawn after fly 450m+ and keep checking the same spots. Keep doing that till you find a good level kill it and grab the implant. Go to your revive cage and revive it there, note it’s going to cost 35 amber but trust me it’s totally worth it. Rather then it getting unconscious and having a chance for a braindead dinosaur to hit it and loose the level gains, you’ll secure yourself a perfect quetz. Good luck 😉

Was able to tame one on a mountainside without using any crazy tricks.

Use a rhiniognatha to shoot it with tranq darts/arrows as you can shoot while in the saddle of the rhinio and if you can't hit it like that then just stand on the rhinios back lol just don't tranq it over water 😂

Why nobody is talking about using a dodo arrow on it(idk what that mean, the dino aggro you? Sorry if im wrong) and make him follow you to a safe area or a trap? Oof

Stop wasting your time trying to chase these guys with your longneck you will never catch them. The easiest way to tame the king of the air 👑 is to fly close to them using a PT or RG then dismount and use a Sinomacrops to land on there back. Once on their back, aim for their eye and unload your darts (or arrows) into their regal face. Make sure they are not above water when you knock them out. (Trust me I've done it multiple times. 😭) Congrats you can now take your first (or second?) Quets.

I tried on tame one but I can’t find one so 10 minutes later I found one but then I put a net on it and it fell down right next to a Rex and the Rex Ate it.

How to tame a LOW LEVEL Quetzal:

1:Kill a quetzal

2:get it’s implant

3 revive them in a closed space

4 :knock it out

5: put food and narcotics or biotoxins

6: wait

7:wait more(feed it a narcotic or a biotoxin every minute)

8: you have a quetzal!

People really aren’t being precise with their location, they aren’t as high up as people say they are. Wander around the map, it should be flying about 30 ft above the tree line. If not then look up and around which you should be doing already lol.

On rag, use a griffin and tranq darts... you can shoot from the back of the griffin while flying.... Just watch where the Quetzal lands and be prepared to kill the wild dinos round it when it does fall, like so people can see.

These things are a pain to tame, if you don’t get enough headshots on high leveled ones or don’t have a quick Tapejara or Argentavis then you can let that 135 quetz run away to sweet home Alabama. This is personal experience because I just tamed a 135 quetz, took me more than 20 tries using save states on mobile. Worth it tho, came as a level 202 with monsterous stats

Can u use a rare flower to get it to follow u or will it run away

This solo knock out strategy is better than the grapple hook ones. So, all you need is:

-A Tapejara with a saddle

-Crossbow or Gun with tranq arrows/darts

-And of course taming food

-Just in case, bring some parachutes

So, after locating your Quetz, board the front seat of the Tapejara (passenger) and whistle 'attack this target' on the Quetzal. If it's too far, whistle attack on other creatures until it's airborne. When it is, whistle "move here" in the air, so you can follow the Quetzal without harming it. While you chase it you can tranq it down with AIMING! And you can control your Tapejara easily. Boom.

*Make sure the Quetzal lands somewhere safe

1.put a single honey on the last on your tool bar.

2.fly above its head and drop the honey, it will lose interest after about 10 to 15 seconds, keep doing that till it reaches the ground.”it takes about 5 honey”

3.trap it with 2 large gates one side on it’s neck and one behind it’s wings.

And you’re done.

I am so mad I had made kibble and got narcotics and saw a black quetzal and I tried have my tapejara follow it and it would not follow I had her on you target and she would not budge then I just tried shooting it and then try and chase it down but it would just take to long can anyone tell me why my tapejara won’t follow the quetzal?

You can grapple hook them but once you shoot them it makes you ungrapple

The easiest way to tame is to fly close to it with a Tapejara, shoot it down with an Apprentice or MasterCraft Longneck Rifle, and revive at the Red Obelisk after you build a trap. Stealing it's egg will not make it aggro I already tried

I just used a wyvern unmounted shot then unmounted again over and over took about 40 tranq darts with a master craft long neck with 179 damage but i missed half then just fed it prime meat took about 30 min
