Ive heard/saw on youtube that you can just jump off your argentavis or any other of your tamed flying dinosaurs and land on the wing of thw wild quetzel. make sure your bird is following you to. You can then just shoot it in the head till it knocks out. Make sure you have a parachute with you just in case you miss the bird.

Currently this patch the quetzals are spawning alot at Red ob and if you have a wyvern you can clear the map then go to red and just kill and repeat til high level spawns by just killing it and flying away for a few seconds

1 or 2 will spawn depending hope long to stay out of render

If you already have a quetz with a platform, build a trap on the platform. 2 thatch foundation with 1 thatch ceiling around each edge (should have a 3x3 tile floor), then build thatch door frames and build them 2 high on every other tile on each edge except for the back. Have 4 thatch doorframes and at least 6 thatch ceilings ready. You will fly in front of the Wild quetz and let it fly into the box, once it's in the box, dismount and place the doorframes on the rear edge behind the quetz, then place the ceilings on all your doorframes and in the centre on the ceiling square. You can now knock it out and it cannot escape.

If you're trying to tame it by yourself tame a scorpion and put it on aggressive then pick it up with a arge and fly right behind the quetzal

Quetzal usually spawn by red on so if you could set up a bola turret by there you can chase it to the person on the bola and they can take it down after that unload your life of trans into it until it k.o.

I have found higher levels without having to wait and kill at blue and green oblisks.

Have 2 crossbows one with hooks and one with tranq arrows just alternate between them then you sould get it (of shot in head for better life)

Like that. Big bird can carry dinos also can make base on their back lol.

For taiming a quez u could use are scorpian and a argy and also if u already have a quez u can make a box for the platform saddle and u can trap it and knock it out.

Have a friend pick you up with an argy or use a grappling hook for solo tame and use tranq darts or tranq arrows and follow the quetzal till it's knocked out.

Don't drop your friend while following him 😀

If you don't own a quetzal or a tapejara already. This will be tricky. I suggest asking for some help on your server. However, if you do own a quetzal and want another one, here's some tips. You need to build a trap on your current quetzal's platform saddle. It needs to be 3 high and 3 long. You can use thatch. Make it 3 wide/long using thatch foundations. Make it 3 high using thatch door frames. Then add thatch ceilings. Leave where you're siting open. Don't cover that with door frames just yet. When you're flying at the quetzal make sure you're going at it head first. Once it's flying in place in your trap stand up and put the thatch door frames behind where you're sitting, connecting it to the foundations to the ceilings. Then start tranqing wait every 10 seconds while shooting it so you don't kill it. Good luck.

Put a ballista on a mobile base and chain bola it then knock it out. This way you won't have to worry about it running

Solo taming on servers is hard because of rubberbarding (lag) so it's idea to get another person to help rather than the grappling techique

For the Center Quetz tend to head to jungle north after being attacked and get stuck in the tall rock pillars this makes for an easy KO but sometimes they get stuck in the rock and u either need a friend with a quetz w/ platform to hover right below it or use grappling hooks for you to access the inventory

Once you get your first, I would suggest using a platform design to easily trap and tame wild quetzal. Many designs can be found online.

All you need is 4 foundations on a quetzal platform, 8 fence foundations, and 4 Dino gates (no doors) fly into the quetzal and dismount this will catch the wild quetzal if it's between the gates then just tranq and tame. Give it's long tame time be sure if you are going to have to move your quetzal then there's a safe area below and wall it in with thatch or wood walls to keep predators away from it. Or if you got time to sit around just stay in the air for low level ones.

If you don't have another quetzal to lend a hand then just use any bird and either have a buddy carry you while you shoot it down or run it into a mountain side as they get stuck easily. If it falls and is still on the mountain then have some pillars and make a makeshift landing pad off the mountain side so you can fit an argie or something on it to keep giving it narcs.

When trying to tame a quetzal it is hard to do it alone so grab a small amount of gear like a bow with tranq arrows and fly over it. After flying over it try and drop on it. ( this might take a few try's) once getting on the back shoot it with your tranq arrows. This will allow u to tame it if your alone. ( this method is hard)

Easiest way to tame a quetz is to have a quetz with a cage built on it.(assuming you or our tribe already had one) Trap the wild quetz with the quetzal cage being sure to put down your walls at the front of the quetzal cage to lock it in. Hop off your quetz and shoot the recommended amount of arrows into it until it drops. Its at this point you have two options, you can either tame it in the air or have your tribe mates clear the ground area of any agressive dinos below it so that you can the drop the wild quetz on the ground where your not as restricted to what your able to do during the taming process. Be sure to put double spikes around the wild quetz on the ground because some dino such as dilos and carnos can attack through the spikes. This is the easiest tamin method to date once you already have a quetz established.

There are two best ways to tame a quetz.

With your friend. Carry them and let them shoot it.

Without your friend. Grapple onto your bird and have button bound to passive and attack this target. Whistle attack this target to get close and Whistle passive to make sure your Dino doesn't attack it.
