Make a thatch platform 2 or 3 high and surround it with thatch but make sure you can still shoot it and make sure to put a revival platform in the center kill your quetzal take its implant and revive it. It worked for me every time just make sure you have amber, narcotics and a tranquilizer dart in a gun easy peasy and you can let it sit there if you need to get more stuff

EASIEST WAY TO TAME THIS BETTER THAN ALL OTHER METHODS:

1. Find one you want to tame, quite tricky to locate

2. Grab some taming meat, preferably kibble, mutton or prime, also bring any flyer and net projectiles + harpoon gun

3. Get some giant bee honey, around 15

4. Keep dropping honey above the quetz until at ground level

5. Shoot net projectile and finish with tranq arrows or darts

6. Now add taming items and you have a quetz!

now, I have seen and read about many ways on taming a quetzal. I am trying to create a compacted tip which shows all of them (or as many as I can remember). since the tips will most likely get very long, I will write down a summary of the tips ingredient requirements, and you can skip to whichever tip you think suits you best:

1) -any k.o weapon which is as good as a crossbow, or better

a parachute

-a structure 3x3x3 in length, with a roof, foundation and walls on only three sides

-any safe area of your choosing

-3 walls

NOTE: this only works with female quetzals

2) -any k.o weapon which is as good as or better than a crossbow

-a tamed pteranodon or tapejara or quetzal

-a revival platform

-construction materials (foundation-walls-roof)

-20 to 40 ancient amber

NOTE: this method is probably the easiest, if you have a lot of patience

3)-any k.o weapon which is as good as or better than a crossbow

-a tapejara or argentavis

-crossbow with grappling hook (only needed for the argentavis method)

-parachute(only needed for the argentavis method)

These are the four methods:

THE FIRST METHOD:

preparation

0. create a 3x3x3 structure (the stronger the better) with foundations, walls and a roof. a 3x3 opening on one of the sides, and a doorframe on the opposite side. make sure your structure is in a safe place

————————

1. find a female quetzal

2. wait for it to lay an egg. don’t let it out of sight.

3. once it lays the egg, pick it up. if it glitches, and does not fall to the ground, fly above the egg, and dismount your flier. it’s the parachute to slow your fall. when the egg comes into range, take it.

4. the quetzal will now aggro onto you. mount your flier again

5. lead the quetzal to your structure, but before entering, dismount the flier. the quetzal should ignore it

the quetzal will try to get in the structure, but it might not manage. It may take a few attempts to get the angle right.

6. when it is inside the box, place one wall in the 3x3 gap. the quetzal will now be trapped. if your structure is made of wood or weaker, you might want to go around the outside of the cage and place the remaining walls in the 3x3 gap

7. NOTE: if your structure is weaker than stone, skip this step.

with the creature now revived, it will be stuck inside the cage. use a bed to skip 7 hours, then return to the cage.

8. if the quetzals head is showing outside the cage, you do not need to go in, you can tranq it from the outside. just make sure to aim for the beak or head. this will make the torpidity go up quicker. do not use tames to knock it out

9. you should be able to k.o it easily, now you can put any type of meat to tame it. If you skipped step 7, you may need to use narcotics.

THE SECOND METHOD:

1. find quetzal

2. using your flier, kill the quetzal. be careful not to harvest the body, or allow other scavengers to take it

3. open the dead quetzals inventory, and take its creature implant. this cannot be taken from an item cache, only from the body itself.

4. the implant will specify the ancient amber cost needed to resurrect it. you need find the amount of amber specified (open rare supply drops)

5. once you have the amber, place the revival platform in a safe area (it can be as far as you want from the place where you found there quetzal)

6. build a perimeter of foundations around the revival platform. make sure there are no gaps around the perimeter

7. build walls on top of the foundation perimeter. this should be 3 walls high. feel free to put a doorframe. (doors are not necessary)

8. finish by adding a roof to your shape. you should be left with a cage of sorts, covering the revival platform

9. open the inventory, and put the creature implant inside, next press (or click) the button revive.

10. with the creature now revived, it will be stuck inside the cage. use a bed to skip 7 hours, then return to the cage.

11. if the quetzals head is showing outside the cage, you do not need to go in, you can tranq it from the outside. just make sure to aim for the beak or head. this will make the torpidity go up quicker. If you are using a tame to knock it out, like the pulmonoscorpius, you may want to do that from inside the cage.

12. you should be able to k.o it easily, now you can put any type of meat to tame it. since it is food bar is depleted, it will eat all the meat without the cool-down time, which means you don’t need narcotics.

THE THIRD METHOD:

1. find quetzal

2. NOTE: skip to step 5 if you are using the tapejara

jump of your flier, then use your parachute to slow your fall

3. grapple onto your flyer

4. keep the parachute, you will need it for later

5. if you are using a tapejara, switch to use the second seat. whistle attack target (the target being the quetzal)

6. use your k.o weapon as much as you can until your flier gets to close to the quetzal, then whistle passive. repeat step 5 until the quetzal is unconscious. feed it any meat to tame c

The easiest way to tame these (on mobile) is to tAme some rexes (1 male and female) have them mate if it’s a boy congratulations you now have raw prime meat if it’s a girl when she’s old enough mate her with the male and rinse and repeat and the non mating females should lay eggs

Yoo guys I just found a really good sugestion for taming this big flying guys if you're playing single player. But this trick only work around the mountain. So... Here is the tips

5. AND BOOM you got this boy knocked out

6. Put the narco and the kibble

7. You got what you whisin for

Up this if you find this helpful 👽

Easiest way to tame this bad boy is to kill it and take its soul !

Build a hut around a revival platform enough to house the beast and revive it.

Once you have revived it, knock it and starve it. Once it’s starved feed it prime meat! makes life a lot quicker to tame. Wait a little bit and boom you have yourself a Flying Fortress !
