Quetzals, one of the best dinos. Quetzals can easily be tamed with a buddy, all you need is a flying dino that can pick up people or has a multi-seat saddle. Load up with the appropriate tranq arrows, narcotics, food and set off across the map to find one. Low levels are brilliant for beginners as they can serve as brilliant carriers due to their high base weight stat. Higher levels however mainly are used as "Battle Quetzals", alongside the high stats it will receive from being tamed, pumping health and melee damage is the way to go. With that being said you'll be able to tank base defences such as PSX and Auto Turrets, aswell as kill dangerous dinos with ease. Maybe either of those don't tickle your fancy, then hey, make a "Party Quetzal"! Strap on some chairs, tables, food and lots more onto the Quetzal's Platform Saddle and hover in the air as you dance to Darude Sandstorm being blasted through someone's mic in game chat. If you can get a quetzal, do consider as they are brilliant!

When you tame your first quetzal, you should make it into a quetz trapper... if you are wanting more... if you don't know what a quetz trap is, go to YouTube! If you can tame a low level one to start! Being able to tame as many quetzals as you want with the trap, is RIDICULOUS!

Instead of using a tracker just place a bead on the quetz so u can respawn or teleport to it

Don't ride it around, it's so slow you'll die of boredom. Get on an argie or ptera and have it following you, it won't lose stamina and you can land on it to regain yours!

Quetz+Anky=infinite metal, seriously metal everywhere

Ever since the flyer nerf, they don't regain stamina if you dismount and stand on the platform saddle. You can, however, use a grapple hook if you really need to or you're raiding. Just grapple to it until full stam and you're good

Best way to get metal is have 3 people with to the metal run have a chair on the foundation for the quetz when u got like 6k raw metal knock out the player give it the metal u got drag him to the chair and make him sit it doesnt effect the quetz weight

There are multiple designs and point progressions for quetzals. You could have a work quetz with weight and stamina, a quetzal trap with stamina and speed, or a battle quetz with health. Pick wisely and good luck survivors!

There's a reason they're so goddamned hard to tame; they're a gamechanger. Even if you don't have a platform saddle they are extremely useful. They have a massive amount of stamina so they can fly for extremely long periods of time, their carry weight is comparable to some of the bigger land creatures like a diplo, and they can carry absolutely massive creatures through the air. It can make setting up bases in newer areas like the snow biome much easier. Personally I use it to make trips to some metal deposits in the tundra so I can get bulk amounts at once without either encumbering my flyer or bringing a clusterflock to disperse the metal. Once you have it, take very good care of it.

Definitly 1 of the most useful dinos is the game, you can build on its back, it has amazing hp and stam, the possibilities are endless with this thing 10/10

You can put a cannon on the platform saddle and use it to tame a rock golem. Basically an AC-130

How I tamed a quetzal is by riding a tapajrea sitting in the fount then ordering it to follow a quetzal while constantly shooting it with a long neck rifle with some tranq darts

If your thinking “what! Just a 2 by 1platform saddle!”just ride it and use admin command change size too make it larger.

My quetz was killed by a lvl 20 dilo :( the quetz was level 50 as well and took us 5 hours. NEVER LEAVE A QUETZ UP IN THE AIR! I DIED AND IT LANDED SOMEWHERE AND I NEVER FOUND IT

It's a flying RV.
Perfect for transport..
High carrying capacity.
Can carry larg(er) Dinos
Place your smithy or fabricator on it for easy access while gathering supplies.

If you have a newly tamed giga but far away from base (gigas cant be requested)you can ride a giga on top of a PLATFORM quetz saddle and tge quetzal can fly with no increase in weight

Took me a while to get it to land

Could use as portable base with platform saddle when you get off fly to height barier in the water then place bed and lay on it

PEOPLE have problems from taking their tames back home. Either they die,get stuck or you kill them. But it usually happens cause you are on land. SO? GET a Quetzal and a platform and load up your tame on the platform and BOOM!You,your quetzal and your new tame can get a safe flight back to your base. JUST pump some health and weight.

Just like an argy a quetz can now dmg in mid flight.. pickup stego - kill stego - get prime. All without landing. Combine with a platformsaddle,generator and fridge for efficiency
