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.

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

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.

For Mobile Players below level 85 wanting to tame this, first get a flying creature faster or as fast as A Quetz, Get a grapple hook and a crossbow, Plus Taming gear and while in midair near the Quetz, Jump off and shoot your creature with the grapple, Bring parachutes if You fall, and now you’re hanging on your creature with a grapple whistele attack target on the quetz and when it gets colse whistle passive, shoot the quetz with Tranq arrows/ Toxicant/ Darts And the whistle attack again and when close whistle passive, while doing this shoot it with knockout weapean and do it until it is knocked, but dont let it get out of range because you wont be able to whistle attack and you’ll be stuck.

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

Here's an easy way to tame a quetz:get rare flowers and lots of tranq arrows or darts,get lots of narcotics and make sure u don't miss,aim for headshots,lure quetz into trap with 2-3 behemoth gateways and gates,then start the process,use prime meat,mutton,or superior kibble,and we'll done u have tamed a quetz

Use honey by placing it in your hotbar

and then pressing it

it will drop and lure the quetzal to the ground

be quick and place stone dino gates on top of it till its trapped (aim for center mass with the gates)

Keep dropping honey if it loses interest even when its flying even when its on the ground

wall it off with spikes and begin tranqing

easier than chasing it around while your grappled to an argy😂

Dont forget narcotic

P.s found mine (lvl 125 btw:) ) inbetween the 2 snow mountains on the island map

Use a netgun when it flies above ground. Once netted, either have a trap ready for high levels or shoot tranq arrows into their eyes(more dmg). It you have a buddy, have them shoot with tranq darts while you shoot into the eyes with arrows. Be careful though as they’re kinda wimpy at times. Super hard to tame while solo without a net gun.
