I didn't know this when I first started taming or playing the game but if you knock out the quetzal (or any wild flying type in general) and they fall from a great night they won't take any damage. But it is a good idea to plant spikes in a half circle (if low on resources) you can guard the enter and exit spot to access it's inventory and guard it's sides from other hostile wilds without being right there. Happy taming, yes use kibble!

Best way to take these is to use a club or a frog, bola them use ur frog or club

To solo tame, get a fast argentavis and a scorpion. Then put the scorpion on Aggressive and pick it up with the argy. Find a low level quetz and let the scorpion stab it. After you knock out and tame that quetz make it into a quetzal catcher to get a higher level one.

Just her a friend on a taperjara and fire everithing in. it

If you are thinking of doing the traditional 2 player argy pickup method then this will help you. Instead of a argy use a high level ptera with at least 2k stamina and make sure it's weight is below half while holding the other person. Pteras are way faster and much better. Me and my friend knocked a lvl 25 quetz out within about 60 seconds using this method and tranq darts.

A level 1 took about 14 tranq darts. Our method of tranqing involved two people one grappled to an argent and the other chasing the bird.

If taming with a two man tapajera team, make sure your tapajera has LOTS of stamina. You will have to speed to follow the quetz around. Make sure to have a good point man too, they will fly through forests and be next to impossible to see without a good eye. And always make sure to bring extra supplies!

If you've never tamed a quetzal and you want one here is a tip. Try to tame a tapajara the have one person fly and another shoot off the back

Best way to ko a quetz when u do not have one already tame a tapajara and have ur buddy ride in front and tranked for the head it's easy for a small tribes to get it

Make a taming pen on the quetz tips: have a platform saddle because if u only have a quetz but no tames just get your mate to tame a terradon pick it up and tame it in the taming pen just have 4 stone pliars thats all u need

Build trap platform on other tame quitz

Best way to tame is to fly with a friend on another quetz use grappling hook, dart it, when it falls have it land on other quetz platform build thatch house around it and safely tame in air.

Red tower is best spot but can spawn around green tower and above oasis

If you have a Quetz, a 4x4 base/ceiling square with 4 stone dino gates & 1 pillar with ceilings to make a roof over the gates is an excellent trap. Fly so the wild Quetz is between the four doors then jump off and tranq. Just dont move again or it'll fall to the ground.

When tranqing, they will head to the center of the map unless you get in front of them.

If you already have a quetz you can build a Contraption on the back of the quetz platform saddle. If you do not have a quest already and easy it is to use the tapejara, other than that use a ptera or a argy and follow it everywhere and tranq it down make sure you have spikes and narcotics ready, fast torpor!

Use another quetz and make a trap on a platform saddle make sure the opening is 3x3

If you're doing it solo get a paracetamol with a platform saddle. Then have a balista with at least 10 chain bolas so if you miss you have extras. Final note don't lose it!!! Keep an eye on where it crashes down.

They offen fly into the pillars on the center map a solo tamer can use this to prevent it from escaping by luring it to a pillar and using the parashoot method can tame more easily.

For taming your first quetz your going to need a fast high stamina pteradon or argentavis. One person flies while one person shoots. Once you've knocked it out tame it with whatever your using to tame it. An easier way is to have an existing quetzal with a platform saddle. You build a quetzal trap on the platform (look it up on YouTube if you don't know how). You trap the quetzal, putting walls behind it so it doesn't escape. You knock it out and tame it. This way is easier and safer, since your taming the quetzal on your quetzals back in the sky. And when you try to knock it out it doesn't run away
