If your on crystal isle and your soloing it here's a good trick I used, first tame yourself a moth get a couple of parachutes and grappling hooks and your preferred amo with weapon, once you found one you like fly next to the quetzel and hop off the moth and grabbling hook it (dont forget parachute incase) and whistle it to attack quetzel the moth doesnt do damage but instead will slow it down for it bit while you shoot at it from below. This helped me tame it without having to whistle passive, attack target repeatedly.

Hope this helps

I used the attach yourself to the argue method. It was my first time trying and wasn't hard at all. I like this method it's fun as heck to. But my quartz got eaten as soon as it landed 😆 ark............

If you knock out in water use a horse and a lasso and lasso the quetz and if this helps like so more people can see it

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.

Be careful taming these, they have a glitch that makes them go to coordinates 50 50 when high torpor,

50 50 on the island is the redwoods,

50 50 on Ragnarok is murdersnow,

50 50 on the center I'm not totally sure,

50 50 on velguero is in the lake I think,

And 50 50 on extinction is the safest, in sanctuary city.

Go parasailing to tame this.

1. Find target and jump of Argy.

2. Launch parachute.

3. Grapple hook to Argy.

4. Whistle "fly to” commands and start parasailing.

5. Tranq the target in the air.

Honey attracts all nearby creatures when dropped by selecting it in the hotbar, and since you can drop them while riding a creature you can use this to lure quetzals to the ground and trap them with dino gates.

To the guy who was wondering if you could land on the back of a quetzal and take it, the answer is no you cannot, you'll just slip off, trust me, I tried

To the guy who gave specific areas to find these guys on mobile, thank you very much. You’re right… that strip of land in front of craggs island, and the spike directly behind the red obelisk. Kill it and take its implant, and revive it on a platform with an enclosure around it. I’m literally doing just that right now. Happy taming! :D

Well this is how I do it you can shoot on tapejaras so get one make a saddle crossbow with tranqs and shoot it up to 19-70 times

Thank y out too ok the person who said one ark mobile you can go to the red obisk and do a tidy save and on the small island were one of the obelisks pillars are a quetzal spawns

The easiest way to tame for mobile players is to kill it take its implant make a revival platform build a thatch house around the platform res pawn it knock it out give it meat give it a saddle and if you made the house right when you ride the quetzal he will tellport through the ceiling

Honey honey honey for solo taming. Lure them to the ground by dropping above the quetz head. Trap with Dino gates. Easy peasy!

Wont get angered by rare flower

Guys.... Ur not suppose to use a petra/argy. Use the 3 seat birdie. saves some time and mats, and you don't need to worry about joining me in the dummy corner because you missed the grapple :)

Rare flowers don't make them aggressive.

For some reason on Ark Mobile, it does not allow me to shoot off an Argentavis when grappled. I think that is a bug on my phone. Anyways, I found the easiest way to get a Quetzal is to ride a Tapejara with multiple seats on the saddle, and then go to second seat. When you do this, shoot the Quetzal and use the spy glass to target him. If you keep shooting the Quetzal while it runs, you should not have to whistle passive for your Tapejara. Then, grab some meat and a lot of bio toxin. Boom, you have your new Quetzal.

If you don't know where they spawn that often go to the red obelisk and scan the area for me this is the most common place I find my quetz

For people about lvl 40: these things spawn at the oblisks but the red one is normally most found on use grappling hook and hook your pteranodon’s anus then whistle attack and shoot and whistle passive and repeat use rex kibble and not meat since THE DAM MEAT TAKES 50 YEARS if your reading this i dare you to feed it with stimberries (☝︎ ՞ਊ ՞)☝︎If you want to save da nubs thx for reading this long as comment lol -Drax

For some odd reason on mobile, they have an irresistible urge to fly over the redwoods on low torpor. I lost 3 quetzals to terror birds or dire bears.
