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

I tamed mine with a Griffin at red obelisk

Use em flying bugs to shoot this war bird down

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

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.

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.

Go near red oblisk you will find one

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Solo taming is a ton easier now with a Tapejara. Fly near to the quetz, get off, get in the front passenger seat and whistle attack target on the quetz. Get your tranqs out and shoot it down with ease! (Also it's an exciting chase around the map, though on PvP you might have to watch out for enemy bases)

USE TAPIJERA

1. GO NEAR QUZTEL CHANGE SIT

2. TAKE OUT YOUR LONGNECK RIFLE

3.SHOOT TRANQ DARTS OR SHOKING TRANQUIL DARTS

Why does everyone say that you can only tame it with a Tapejara and honey? I tamed one without a Tapejara or honey and only used a Longneck Rifle with shocking darts on my Rhyniognatha with ten Exceptional Kibble. Let others know so they don't spend time getting lots of honey.
