There is a problem tho. You probably need a friend to help. And you need potent dust and dodo feathers from dodo’s of a size 2.5-2.9

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. Hope this can help.

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. — Smallfoot

Tame a Tape! Tame a Tape! Yeah that’s what I did not do. Instead, I tamed a Griffin which I find easier because it chases you (instead of a fast flee) and you can easily trap it in a stone pillars. Mine was at a lower level so I could knock it out with around 40 tranq arrows. Then I found myself a Queztal and just shot it in the head a few times. I would make sure that the area surround the uncon Queztal was safe by killing carno Dinos with the Griffin.

If you have a harpoon launcher with a net projectile, it will cause the Quetz to land if low enough to the ground and then shoot it with a couple of tranq darts or shocking tranq darts to knock it out and then feed it lots of meat until it is tamed and then use a Wyvern to use it’s wing attack to send aggressive dino’s away from it. Also bring a cyropod so you can freeze it if you are away from your base

I see a lot of good advice for how to tame these in the air, excluding just shooting from the back of a Griffin which is incredibly easy, but the easiest way by far is with a Pteranadon and Rare flowers.

Find the Quetzal you want

Build a quick trap underneath it

Fly up to the Quetzal and eat a rare flower

Lead it into the trap

Profit

(for mobile) get an argie and level it to 135 to 145 movement

And here's what you need

- multiple grapples

- crossbow

- long neck (or crossbow)

- tranq darts/tranq arrows/toxicant arrows

- (optional) 10x soothing balm

- 3-20ish rex kibble (or prime meat at least 30)

- multiple parachutes

-(optional) spike walls (to protect it)

Now find your quetzal go next to it jump off your argie deploy your parachute then grapple to your argie whistle attack target at the quetzal shoot the quetzal with your tranq ammo of choice your argie will follow the quetzal and try to attack if your argie gets to close whistle passive then again attack target once far away enough. Once it goes down get on your argie and fly down to it as fast as you can so it doesn't get attacked by other dinos (make sure it does not fall in water)

then remote use your balm give it the kibble or prime meat protect it and then enjoy your quetzal! (Saddle level 76)

Or buy a tannery with 50 amber then get more cures with more amber if you don't feel like waiting to get the levels

Thank you for reading! :D
