Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a quetzal? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a quetzal.
Guys I need help. I’ve been looking for 2 days straight and haven’t found a single one. Please give me some tips on where to find them on the the island map
You can just bet gun it and if there are a few of you, you can easily knock it out but if your in single then I recommend using the tapejera method which is also really efficient if there’s a few of you as you can easily take some low level tapejera and shoot off the back of it 10/10 recommend. Consider upping it for more people to see?
The easy way to do it is with a griffin, they allow rider weaponry so you can just fly close to the quetzal and snipe, continue this process until it is down
Use desmodus and tranq gun. Easy ko
The longest way to tame a quetzal✨, first get 100 amber, and then find a griffins at the north west mountain in the island, pick a high level griffin, buy a change name card using 100 amber, and then use that change name card to change your name with the griffin you want to tame with its initial ( i cant explain it any better, just search it up in yt ) and then once it gains respect to you, lour it to your trap, and the give it narcotics after knocking it down, and then go to the south cave and get the artifact, and now tribute it to any obelisk and you'll have a chance for a 10× soothing balm, and then put raw prime meat in the griffin and the soothing balm, and once its tamed, go get rifle with tranc dart, and then knock down the quetzal while riding the griffin, you're welcome.
Easy to get in a trap, first get a harpoon launcher and then get net projectiles guide it to a safe area then using a griffin shoot it wit the net it will fall to the floor then place 3 stone Dino gates over it and boom when the net stops holding it it won’t be able to move. Be warned if it wakes up after you leave render it might glitch through the trap make sure it doesn’t wake up. Hit the good button so people can learn - potato

FOR SOMEONE WHO SAID THAT THIS THING CAN SPAWN WITH TIDY SAVE I LOVE YOU SOO MUCH,THANKS
An easier way to trap and tame a Quetzal is to kill it, take its implant, build a big cage around an Obelisk, and revive it. You can then spam tranq arrows at it and tame your beloved Quetzal. Good Luck, Mate! ~WildRapter
If you don't have any flyers you can grapple the quetzal and shoot him from underneath and also remember to put a parachute on your hotbar and once it gets ko equip your parachute and feed it either kibble or meat

For my first Quetzal, I was on my Pteradon and had my friend being carried with a crossbow with tranquilizer darts. I had to chase it for a good 20-40 minutes. He had to get the perfect angle. Probably isn't the most effective way,but still works. When we found another that was Tek, we used our Quetzal to follow it around and shot it with tranquilizer darts. It worked a lot faster.
Solo players. Best way to tame this beast is to get a Griffin on Rag by making a trap with stone Dino gate, pillars and stone ceiling. Use a ptera to kite it into the box, dismount and shut the door behind you then knock it out with tranqs. Farm mutton from the nearby Highlands to tame.
You can use the Griffin and shoot whilst flying it
Using a Griffin to tame is very easy I found because the Griffin's are like little helicopters you can fly around it while shooting the Quetzal with a bow and tranq arrows. And then if you're too high up when the Quetzal knocks out you can dive below and catch it a few times before it hits the ground
uhm when i fed my quetzal potent dust it kinda got knocked unconsious and it has like 6500 torpor so its gonna take a while
You can easily tame a quetzal if you have a wyvern. Just whistle follow and dismount in midair and you SHOULD stay sitting on it's back. Then start tranquilizing it. Hope this helps :D
I tamed mine with a Griffin at red obelisk
Ez to knock out, I recommend using a desmo or any flyer who can allow holding crossbows
If you are on ragnarok just use a griffin because you can shoot off the back
Use a desmodus. You can shoot on its back and it can fly backwards.
