The fun way is to jump off and grapple to your argie and whistle it to attack and since argies are slow it won’t catch up in time so tranq till it goes out also bring parachutes and consider liking so more people will know

Idk why everyone makes this so complicated with all the grappling stuff all you have to do is,

1. Get or use a tapejara that’s a low level with a couple levels into movement speed

2. Get a rifle or crossbow with either darts or tranqs

3. Find a quetzal and then go to the back of your tapejara and set to attack the quetzal

(Since quetzals have high health and ur using a low level tapejara you can actually leave the tapejara to attack the quetzal, it’ll be fine)

4. Knock It out, not over water, and put whatever you want into it and ban you have a quetzal

Btw, you don’t need to worry about the tapejara’s stamina, it doesn’t decrease while you sit in the back seat

Guys this is the ersieht was to tame a quetzal. All you need is a tapejara.

1) Whisle your Tapejara to follow you

2) Ride you Tapejara and surch for a quetzal

3) When you found a quetzal, go an the back of the Tapejara (dont forget that you have to make the follow whisle on Tapejara, otherwise the will Flyer to the ground)

4) Make the attack whisle while you are on the Tapejata's back, so your tapejara will follow the quetzal.

5) Just shoot the quetzal with tranq darts/arrow and make the passive whisle on the Tapejara when he is too close to the Quetzal.

6) Repeat that till the quetzal gets knocked out and enjoy your quetzal taming.

TIPP: They spawn near the Obelisk and fly trought the whole map after spawning. GOOD LUCK!

If you manage to knock a quetzal out, try starve taming. If you never tried starve taming it’s just leaving a Dino’s hunger go to half way or lower and then you start feeding. I’ve done this many times and it’s very useful taming trick.

Use a tapejara, sit on the passager seat and set it on my target. Then make it fly to the quetz. Shoot the quetz with any sort of tranq ammo. Do this reapetly and you Have knocked quetz👌

Important note !!

Quetz will not follow you if you eat a rare flower!

If you have any dodo arrows, make a trap (tutorials on YouTube) the shoot the quetzal with the dodo arrows. The quetzal will get triggered at you and lead it to the trap.

To solo tame, grapple to an argentavis, and be ready to set your argentavis to passive and attack my target on command. Just maintain a process of having your argentavis chase the quetzal, when you get close enough set it passive, then fire a tranq dart/arrow. This is a long process, but it is by far the easiest way to solo tame, unless you already have a quetzal.

Bro whoever said that god to red obelisk and do a tidy save and get a quetzel bruh my game gave me a titanosour instead of quetzel 🤣

Drop honey in front of the Quetz and in a direction that suits you. Keep dropping honey and the quetz will follow all the way to the ground. Once on the ground place Dino gates froward and aft of its wings. Tame away. Good luck

On mobile you can go to red ob and do a tidy save that will make an quetz spawn on a small island in front of the ob.

Me and my friends attempted to tame a Quetzel in the funniest way possible since we didn't have a Tapejara. We decided that one will ride a pternadon and will grab the other one. Then we will chase a Quetzel. The guy that is grabbed will shoot the Quetzel. I was the one driving and my ark crashed. My friend got dropped from the sky and by some miracle made it on 3 health. I re-joined as fast asi could and was laughing out loud. I think people can actually use this method somehow but better then us lol.

If you're on mobile, do the "Hunt Argentavis" Pursuit on lv71 and get a Journeyman Quetz saddle for free!

Go parasailing to tame this.

1. Find target and jump of Argy.

2. Launch parachute.

3. Grapple hook to Argy.

4. Whistle "fly to” commands and start parasailing.

5. Tranq the target in the air.

I know this is pretty common knowledge, but for the guys who always find the quetzal they're trying to tame in an area loaded with sabertooths, carnos, and rexes, all quetzals that are frightened will fly towards the coordinates 50, 50, every single time.

If you found one, don't blink while chasing. Don't. Blink.

In Mobile just kill it and craft a revival platform and build an enclosure then revive it and knock it out

You can use honey to lure the quetzal to the ground and into a trap.

Hey you!, yes you, I heard you’re looking to tame A Mighty Quetzalcoatlus?,

Welll, look no further!

To tame one of these,is quite simple but here’s the disclaimers

The simplest way in my opinion is using a wyvern and following it around and shooting off said wyvern, since on wyverns when you dismount unlike other flyers, for example Argies and Pterandons, you don’t directly fall off instead you’re set in a standing position

As for the second disclaimer I mentioned using this method is the only way I’ve tamed one so , if you don’t have a wyvern I can’t help you with much. But that’s why there’s a multitude of tips here to aid you instead of mine I’m just saying all this because it’s an easy way to tame them without much resources being wasted.

You can just change seats on ur tapejara and whistle it to attack quetzal and shoot it with tranq darts. Thats the easiest way to tame one.
