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!

If you somehow encounter a Quetzal on the ground and you can't fly up there to shoot at it, forget it. It's impossible to shoot at it from the ground it doesn't hit the Quetzal. Just get a flyer like the PTERANODON, GRIFFIN, or TAPIJARA, and you should be fine.

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.

The ULTIMATE Dino team: island, mobile compatible too

Tanks: 3-5 sarcos, a therizno, and 2 brontos

Scouts: high level raptors, and mabey some sabbers

Attackers: 1giga, 2 spinos, and a Rex (if no giga spino is great sub)

Pursuits: (not on mobile) a small team of pegos with some itchy seagulls both are to drain supplies

Ariel team: idrk about aerials so I’m thinking a quiztle and some pteranodons and tappys canons attached and riders with bows

When attacking a op tribe with these dinos here is a good strategy:

Send the scouts to survey the camp, and report back. Send the aerials first, they will be kinda of wave 1/2 and will distract the op players and keep eyes mostly off the ground. Then send in the pursuits. They will rob most of the players out of their stuff and distract them. Now, start moving in the tanks and the attackers. Have the brontos break through any wall that keeps the others from getting in and then start demolishing the base. Have the raptors and sabers stay at the edge of the base to catch escapers. With this strat you will totally ruin someone’s day but become sooo op if u

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

Quetzals r a very rare find on the island map. I found many near green obelisk( they spawn more often near red obelisk).

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

This is True!

My quetzal was low on stamina and saw a mountain so I decided to land there and then, A Wild Rex appeared out of nowhere. But after a while it didn't aggro on my quetzal, so that answers the question. Quetzals and Rexes are friends

I've found easiest way is off a Griffin. Can do solo with ease. Just watch where you drop her!

Use desmodus and tranq gun. Easy ko

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 🥳🥳🥳

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

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

Use a griffin is a good way to do it

Use honey by placing it in your hotbar

and then pressing it

it will drop and lure the quetzal to the ground

be quick and place stone dino gates on top of it till its trapped (aim for center mass with the gates)

Keep dropping honey if it loses interest even when its flying even when its on the ground

wall it off with spikes and begin tranqing

easier than chasing it around while your grappled to an argy😂

Dont forget narcotic

P.s found mine (lvl 125 btw:) ) inbetween the 2 snow mountains on the island map

Get mounted turrets and rocket turrets put them on the back of this thing and blast away at someone’s base (don’t forget to name it mother ship)

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).

Pretty hard to tame, was chasing a level 50 female for about 2 hours and I just gave up. I also only had tranq arrows and did not have a way to make it fly to the ground. I would like a good easy method to tame without making it a pain to do.

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?
