If you don't have one already use an ag to tame it

I solo tame them using my griffen and shock darts.

If using the taming trap method, be VERY CAREFUL if you try to land it. I went very slightly too fast and my quetzal fell out of the trap and it lost over 70% effectiveness while my quetzal and I tried to fend off a bunch of daedons. I left it for dead when the direwolves came.

Go to the mountains near the green obslik that's were I found one PS put a million meat in one there hunger gos down fast

Can solo tame with Griffin, make sure u have journeyman or higher long neck with tranq darts as it's way easier than bows. Pre fab spike walls to keep safe and mini structure with bed and storage narcs so u can fast travel between torpor times.Also make sure u herd him in a I safe place. Honestly this is the most efective way.

Another way to knock out the quetzal is to grapple on to it and shoot it with tranq arrows or tranq darts.

Do not try the Grapple an Argy strategy on console. Just don’t.

The quetz does not get affected by rare flowers so it makes them hard to take

On Ragnarok, quetzals are easily solo tamed with a griffin. Just pump stamina and unload your darts.

Griffin = quetz ez way to tame.

Find a low level one for your first tame and use a tapejara’a passenger seat to get in close and shoot it down. Have an argy on follow and then use it to go get prime if you haven’t brought kibble or mutton. Then get a platform saddle and make a trap to get another, better level one. Easy as pie!

Beast way to solo tame is by taming a Griffin first on Ragnorok, then level until you have at least 1000 Stam. When this is achieved you can tranq the quetzal solo on the Griffin easy. Best way to get a quetz early days, can tame a level 50 Griffin easy

Easy solo tame:

Get on a Tapejaras front seat as soon as you find a quetzal and make it attack the quetz. The quetz is a bit faster, but he will fly in curves so the Tapejara can easely follow it. Just tranq it with your crossbow/rifle as you can shoot from the front seat!

Like so it’s on top

If you have two people have one riding an argentavis and the other being carried or grappled on to the argentavis and then shot at the quetzal while the other flies towards

If you are gonna use commands that will stop the high level alpha rex that you dropped your quetzal onto killing it then make sure you aren’t aiming at your current dinos hitbox, I lost a lvl 180 tapejara that way. Also if no mutton or Rex kibble is available just use prime, raw meat takes way too long

Ride in the front seat of a tapjar, whistle attack on a wild quetz and nail it with tranq darts

If you have a fast enough flyer fly to a snowy mountain and wait for a bit when found get a tribe/alliance mate to fly and you grapple hook the. bird and shoot him with traunqs and use anything but cooked fish meat 😛

Have your friend pick you up with a argentavis when you are on a spider. Then proceed to web the quetzal and shoot at it with tranq darts or arrows

For solo taming these guys without a quetz cage a Griffin is a life saver!

solo tame with tapejara. sit on frontseat give your tape whistle commands. attack until hes close, then passive, shoot, repeat
