Encountering Tips
How do I kill a quetzal? quetzal battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Quetz like to spawn near the red obelisk, but I have found by following them that they take the same route to the red woods back to the red obelisk, I have followed 7.
On Mobile, randomly encountered a lvl 280 by Red Obelisk. Chased down on my Argy with my Pteranodon set to attack. Between the two of them, was able to bring it down, get implant, and revive WAY easier than trying KO from a Tapejara.
Don't bother finding it. It finds you lol. If you even try to find it then you just wasted time if you didn't find it cuz ARK is pretty much weird. If you found a quetz unprepared then request a flying dino(with decent damage or any flying dino if you really want the quetz) then chase the quetz and kill it then get its implant. After getting the implant then get yourself spawn pod(?) Or spawn it at an obelisk BUT REMEMBER! MAKE A TAMING PEN AROUND THE OBELISK OR WHERE YOU'RE MAKING THE SPAWN POD(?). also while you're doing this, get some amber(for mobile)! Trust me you have alot of time getting amber since the implant expires for about 2.5 days(?)
the only one I found was north of the blue obelisk
Have encountered south of green obelisk, north east by swamp of red obelisk, above the mountain in center of red wood forest, and flying around argy mountain.
Are these supposed to be super rare cuz on my single player save there's to in the sky kinda low like every time I look up into the sky ps I my base is on cragg's lsland
On Ragnarok, I've found some close to the blue obelisk, near the border (where the map ends until they release the rest of the map).
If you can't find quetzals on a map use this> admincheat distroywilddinos. Then they should start spawning in(warning this kills all wild dinos).
It's hard bro... It's hard.. took me 3hours
This is a pain in the ass to find
I only saw this once when I was riding a pteranodon, I was unprepared and inexperienced at the time. Now I have a tapejara and a good longneck rifle but I've been flying around the red obelisk for a while now and still no quetz
*CREEPY* i finally knocked out a quetzal just now and i heard something creepy… i was on single player and i heard someone die…
I literally found it on my base lol
found 2 of these I think I am real lucky cause im typing this from mobile
Not a lot if people know this but one of the best places to fu d quetzals are around the mountains and top and bottom right sides of the map.
Something you can do if you dont wanna go through the pain of knocking it out of the sky is to kill it then respawn it at an obelisk or respawning platform and have a taming cage built around it(that's how I tamed most of my dinos😂)
Since I tried to catch second quetzal with quetzal trap (mobile), it no longer to get stuck in the trap, it will fly through the trap.
The best way to knock it out is too ride a griffin and take out your Tranq gun and shoot it in the head.
So i saw this guy again and managed to knock it down but it landed on the ocean so i hurriedly tried to spawn my equus, buuut i noticed it a tad bit too late that there were 3 rex eating 3 brontos right next to it, and the rex turned its attention to the quetzal and ate it....
i canceled my equus and called my theriz and massacred the rex and brontos.
god i hate ark.
If you want to tame it or encounter it just remember not to build structure near red oblisk and it will spawan at red oblisk if you build structure or keep your dinos in range of 2km its ok it will spawn but be building and kepping all out of 2 km of red oblisk
