Would not recommend using pteranodon. Here’s a little story to show why: Me and my tribemate spot a quetzal. We load up with narcotics and tranqs. We hop on a pt, him flying with me being carried. We get close to the quetzal and I stay to shoot. I hit the hit box of the pt no matter where I aim. The pt gets knocked out and…. I think you know what happens next. JUST DONT USE PT IF YOU DONT WABT THIS GLITCH TO HAPPEN

You can tame this at as soon as you get the smithy. Float on a parachute behind a pteranodon or other flyer with a grappling hook and just weight down the flyer enough to be same speed as quetz. Takes like 10 minutes. Easier with tranq darts but I use a second crossbow cuz I miss a lot and it's expensive.

Bruh everyone makes this so complicated. All you need is a fast and strong flyer and and some amber( I play ark mobile) and a revival platform closed up with dino gates and a roof. Find and kill Quetzal by red obi and dont gather it, go to the body and take it implant and revive it by revival platform(it cost me 32 amber for a lvl 11) knock it out and put meat or kibble in its face. Then slap on a saddle a BOOM your very own pelican giraffe dinosaur looking thing with a haircut!!!! Thanks for reading this, I just tamed my very own today😄

Easiest way (but consume some times) to tame a quertzal

1. Tame 2 dodo and they must be male & female

2. Breed them

3. Get dodo that has size 1.55% or bigger

4. Farm dodo feather form the dodo that has 1.55% size

5. Craft dodo arrow (at least 3 if u easy to missed

6. Shoot dodo arrow to quertzal

6.5– if you dind't know, dodo arrow will make the dino that you shoot with it will attack you

7. Trap quertzal

8. Knock out quertzal easily

9. Tame quertzal easily without the fear if its drop to water

10. Enjoy your quertzal :)

Just shoot it with a dodo arrow (unlocks at level 42) and it should agro you, you don't even need a Tapejara or a griffin for this, all you need is a Pteronodon, parachute and a trap (The trap is optional) and just fly up to it, jump off your Pteronodon and activate the parachute then shoot it with the dodo arrow. While it is agro just keep shooting it with either a crossbow with toxicant/tranq arrows or a long neck rifle with tranq darts. Just make sure you don't go near water because the Quetz might fall in and drown when it gets knocked out. Happy Quetz taming
