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.

Wait for them to fly over your base and trap them in trapper then let them drop in your base and walaaa! Ive solo tamed 6 like this.

Get a grapple hook and shoot it while it is flying low or dismount off of your bird and shoot it while you fall then draw yourself to it pull out your other crossbow and fill it with tranks no matter where it goes you fallow and make sure you bring a parachute because you will need it when it falls good luck

If you are struggling to solo tame your first Quetz, just wait for v.248. In this update, we'll be able to equip weapons while mounted. If we can equip a rifle or crossbow with tranq darts or tranq arrows, this KO will be simple provided you have a decent stamina Ptero or Argent.

Build a trap on your quetz if you are flying it the wild one can fly through the walls if you jump of while the wild one is inside the walls will become solid and trap it now air.

I would use a grappling hook and grapple on to its behind so it can not attack you then use tranq darts or arrows and fire then when it get nocked out detach the grappling hook and use a parachute

You don't need an other person you can do it by yourself.

Thank me later

Solo knockout - You need an Argentavis - (Preferably a decent level) Step 1. Grapple hook onto the Argentavis. Then, shoot it with your tranquilizer darts or arrows, until it flies too far away. Step 3. Whistle your Argentavis to aggressive and then passive before it attacks the quetzal. Repeat the process until it goes down. Step 4. Use the information from DodoDex to tame the creature when it's down. I recommend putting spike walls around it to protect it when it's down. A chair and some war drums are also a good addition, but not mandatory.

For Taming a quetzal you should use high lvl ptera or an argy using Rex kibble is the fastest and easiest way to tame

Carry a Skorpian with an argentavis and set to aggressive for an easy knockout.

For the quetzalcoatlus the best way that I have found to tame one is to make a quetzal chatcher and trap it to tame if you have aanother quetzal. But if you dont have one you will need to get a high level bird preferably a argentavis because it has a high weight and a slow movement so you would have high accuracy. I would also recommend you have a longneck with tranquilizer darts because that would be the most effective way to tame because it will do the most torpor. Happy taming. :)

If you already have a quetzal and want to tame another one, make a 3x3x3 structure on the back of the quetz platform you already have and leave one side open for the quetz to fly in. then fly in front of the quetz you are looking to take, and right before it fly's out of the front of your cage, hop off the quetz and it will become solid. Once it is inside, place a wall behind it on the wall you left open. It will be stuck, and you are free to tame it with no chance of anything hostile ruining your tame. Since you aren't riding the quetz, it will regen stamina in the air and you can hover until the tame is done. Once its done, just destroy the wall you put to trap it and fly straight and it will fall out and follow you. Enjoy your quetz :)

When trying to knock out a quetzal, do not try to grapple to it and shoot it because the moment it is hit with the dart or arrow, the grapple will break and you will die and most likely have your body fall through the world if you don't have a parachute on you.

Grapple an argentavis and go find a low level quetzal (faster knock out). Then dismount it and use your spyglass to whistle attack my target aiming the quetz. When you're close enough shoot it in the face as redo the process with the spyglass.

Requirements: Argentavis with about 2000 stamina with about 110 movement speed and a good amount of melee damage, Crossbow(tranq arrow)/Longneck Rifle Tranq dart), about 50 or more tranquilizers, and about 100 or more narcotics.

In order to knock out the quetzal, the best way is to find a buddy who is willing to help you out. Give the tranq gun to your friend, as he/she will be shooting. You want to get your argentavis and pick them up with the talons. Make sure you don't forget the narcotics! When you have your friend in your talons, go find the quetzal. When you find it I reccomend you land and regain stamina, but don't lose the quetzal. Once you have regained your stamina pick up your friend and proceed to knock out the quetzal. Be sure whoever is shooting to hit it in the head, or else it will take quite a while to take it down. Don't be afraid to land to regain stamina again if needed. Once the quetzal is knocked out, you need to use the narcotics and get food for him.
