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

Besides using a tapejara, you could use a quetz catcher. You can google this for photos. Basically, if you have a quetz, or someone you know does, you can build a catcher on the back (thatch is fine). After "catching" (making it fly into the catcher) the quetz, jump off the quetz onto the platform saddle and add some walls in the open spaces (where it flew into). Then, you can shoot it with darts or arrows till it's down. Or, you can have a friend shoot at it from another bird/platform.

First if possible have someone on a server who already has a Quetzal(and a platform saddle) that will be willing to help you by building a box shape on the platform leaving the back open, next fly in front of the Quetzal having it fly into the box then put the back walls on completing the box and making it so the Quetzal is trapped, after that fly closer to the ground in a safer area and proceed to knock it out after it unconscious take the back walls off and have the person with the starting Quetzal fly forward let the Quetz to fall onto the ground so you can begin taming!

All you need is a tek suit, a harpoon launcher, and some net projectiles to get one of these bad boys out the sky

Guys use pulmono max damage and an argy with good stamina, then you won’t have to spend all ur time trying to find Tapejaras and crafting tranq darts

For the person who gave their Quetz potent dust.

Potent dust does had low chance to cause someone or a Dino to get knocked out, which the thing happened to me when I'm painting my beaver white then it just fainted and fell down the cliff.

So whoever consumes potent dust for levels or painting their Dino's, look out.

Bring stimulants before you eat sand, just in case. It's not coarse, it's not rough, and it's not irritating - but it does clog up your nose, 'addictive', get you high enough to the point of fainting, because Rockwell said to consume the dust is to inhale it.
