Funny Tips
What are some funny jokes or stories about the quetzal? Funny quetzal jokes submitted by ARK players.
So, my pal flew the Argy, with myself grapple hooked below. It took maybe 15-20 min to find a Q, we patiently followed another 10-15 min as he meandered over the swamp.
Over the Redwoods, I started shooting tranq darts. I was too careful going for headshots, and torpor dropped too much before next hit. As it got dark, we lost the quetzal below us in the Redwoods. I landed one final dart as he found tree cover. Darkness immediately followed. We lost him. My friend thought maybe he went down. I was less optimistic.
Come morning, he mystically appears below us. I said “let’s get some height and find him” and there he was.
Tranquing proceeded. Now he was hanging out over a river. Running out of ammo, knew he wouldn’t drop if the shots weren’t continuous - kept firing.
He fell; in the water.
We pursued, knowing it was in vain.
Got to the Q. Underwater. It HAD passed out the night before. Food was low. KIBBLE TAMED WHILE UNDERWATER !
We waited until morning
Of course, whenever I go to Red Ob to look for something else there's ALWAYS quetzal nearby, but when I go to Red Ob actually looking for a quetzal, noooooo! Of course no quetzals can be bothered to show up when I actually am prepared to tame one, of course not! Ark just won't let me win.
