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

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

Use a desmodus. You can shoot on its back and it can fly backwards.

Quetzals are one of the most useful dinos in ark. But when trying to tame one dont lead it through the redwood, me and my buddy were taming one and it flew through there. Long story short we got ambushed by a thyla and we lost all our taming gear and a high level argentavis

I tamed mine with a Griffin at red obelisk

The people fighting about taming it normally or using the grapple method:

Dodo arrow: Amateurs.

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.

If you have a friend ask him to help

Get a flyer then grap your friend and fly up to the quetz and Shot it. Be careful where you want to tame it because it is More likly That they will drown in Rivers

Good luck survivor !!!

If on extinction or transferred a SNOW OWL over to another map you can freeze them out the sky and they will land, which could make things easier for you

If you're rich af, just kill it, take the implant, set a trap on the revival platform, revive it then mag dump all your tranqs on this mf

Best way to tame this guy is to jump off a flyer, harpoon it with a net projectile, and parachute down. Be sure your flyer is on passive and following you. Then, trap it with pillars and ceilings. Tranq it in the head and there you go!

Saw someone else posted they had luck with the Griffin, just coming here to say I just tamed a 168 tek quetz using the griffin with about 1600 stam and a base level longneck.

So now you know, Griffin makes for a good quetz gaming animal without needing any sort of trap, just follow and shoot. Aim for the head for bonus points and an accuracy debuff.

How do you heal a wild quetz that trapped for tanning purposes? Any tips and tricks are appreciated.

Be sure to have a back up flyer if you are using the (Argentavis grappling) method; because you can miss the grappling hook while you are high up in the air and have your argentavis stuck up there while you are on the ground and it can't hear your whistle.

You will need a back up flyer in that case.

Shoot it with a dodo arrow and it will start chasing and attacking you. Shoot it with shocking tranq dart and knock it. Then the usual soothing balm+ prime meat or Rex kibble. Up for noobs

Go near red oblisk you will find one

2022: The easiest possible method to execute, but requires a bit of setup prior to it.

1. Any flyer will be be fine. I used a Wyvern, and a Sinomacrops.

2. Have parachutes at the ready.

3. Position yourself over the Quetzal you want to tame.

4. Drop on it, and while falling, hit it with a Net Projectile from the Harpoon Launcher. You can unlock both on Lost Island. It will fall to the ground, trapped.

5. Tranquilize while it’s down. You’ll have plenty of time.

6. Tame.

To those who say it’s impossible to tame in single player on mobile, it isn’t. I killed one, built a cage at an obelisk, respawned it using amber, and knocked it out. So, to the people who don’t have friends, you can still find a way to get this big boi.

Found mine (level 45) at lat 42.7 long 65.8

Spent two (irl) days looking for one on my Singleplayer Island game, was about to throw in the towel and spawn in a wild one to tame then BAM, I got the dopamine hit I was waiting for when I saw that big mother flapping about. Landed my tapejara, loaded up the longneck with darts and set my Tappy to follow and attack, after a length chase shooting darts from the passenger seat brought him down near the swamps, west coast. Solo tame. Finally!!!!!

U can use a griffen as well it's more way easier than all the tames because u can use longneck or crossbow while flying and riding at the same time
