What are tips for quetzal? Tips and strategies for quetzal in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
So Your best bet is to tame a army and get the saddle and grapple on your bird with darts BEFORE YOU GRAPPLE ON TO YOUR BIRD PRACTICE AT YOUR BASE I DIED BECAUSE I DIDNT PRACTICE DONT MAKE MY MISTAKE Enjoy you need to use a cross bow to use grapple and drag the grapple on you crossbow 🥳🥳🥳
Net projectile+gateway = easy tame
Just hop on any flyer, then jump use parachute, shoot the net then put the gateway wait till the net is gun then shoot it with your tranq or darts
Use desmodus and tranq gun. Easy ko
Guys I need help. I’ve been looking for 2 days straight and haven’t found a single one. Please give me some tips on where to find them on the the island map
you can get an eerie version of this in mobile singleplayer using
- a tek kibble processor
- an implant of a quetzal (doesn't matter if its chronicled, dead, unclaimed)
-1 eery element
-some kibble
-common sense
step one: get a quetzal implant
-common knowledge, either kill a quetzal, or chronicle a tamed one
step two: get at least 1 eery element, some high quality kibble, and a tek kibble processor
-you can get a tek kibble processor *blueprint* from certain chests in dungeons, if it is one of the primary rewards listed on the "view rewards" tab
-you can get eery element by killing a dungeon boss
-recommended you use kibble from eggs of large creatures, like rex, spino, bronto, theri
-after you have built a tek kibble processor (fairly expensive), put the implant, kibble, and eery element inside it
step 3: save scumming
-this is where common sense kicks in, there is a mechanic of ark mobile singleplayer called "manage save file", you can find it below the button where you play singleplayer mode in the menu
- you can save your progress on one save, and if the tek kibble processor consumes the quetzal implant, restore your save file and try again
-it is a 1% chance of turning the implant into an eerie one, once a menu pops up that says "something erry happened" you now have an eery quetzal implant and you can now revive/recall your quetzal using a revival platform/obelisk
Here's an easy way to tame a quetz:get rare flowers and lots of tranq arrows or darts,get lots of narcotics and make sure u don't miss,aim for headshots,lure quetz into trap with 2-3 behemoth gateways and gates,then start the process,use prime meat,mutton,or superior kibble,and we'll done u have tamed a quetz
A method I find easy to solo tame a quetzal is using a desmodus. Tame a desmodus with decent stam and since you can shoot off the back of a desmodus you just chase the quetzal around and shoot it occasionally. The only method that's ever worked reliably for me.
It's a great dino for traveling but the problem is whenever something hits this thing that hasn't touched grass it dismounts and runs away it's annoying af
The easy way to do it is with a griffin, they allow rider weaponry so you can just fly close to the quetzal and snipe, continue this process until it is down
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).
Taming quetzal then: *Intense sweating and shooting*
Taming quetzal now: haha net gun go brr
You can just bet gun it and if there are a few of you, you can easily knock it out but if your in single then I recommend using the tapejera method which is also really efficient if there’s a few of you as you can easily take some low level tapejera and shoot off the back of it 10/10 recommend. Consider upping it for more people to see?
These guys are great for metal collection. Movement speed 757% is enough to get you from herbivore island to the volcano on the island in about 30secs to a minute, and 9000 weight is about enough to bring back the metal u need for an industrial grinder with the same speed. IK it’s kinda hard to lvl it that much without Ascendant creatures tho XD. Anyway, Quetzals are good for collecting tonnes of the heavier materials even without lvling them into oblivion. I used mine to bring back 5000 metal. Patience is key tho, coz these things are SLOW AS. Took me half an hour to bring it back to my base 😂.
Single player uses:
1. Dino carryer: It can carry pretty big dinos (biggest dino it can carry iirc is Allosaurus), dinos that would otherwise be a pain in the ass to tame can just be grabbed by a quetzal and dropped into a cage
2. Mobile base: It's basically a flying Paraceratherium, you could even build the aforementioned cage on a second quetzal
Often spawns at the world origin point (0,0) on the island, also around the green obelisk. CAN be chain bola'd although the options for doing this are somewhat sketchy. To solo tame you will either need to goad it into a trap as it flees, use a tapejara and dismount into the second saddle, or ride a paraceretherium or bronto w/ ballista turret attached up the mountain to try and trap it that way. You can also grappling hook onto a slow flyer like argentavis and shoot it with tranqdarts that way!
