ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
For taking a quest first time, first game a low lvl so you can later catch a high 100+ quetz. First get a high level argentavis and get flak armor with water and food. Get 10 grapples and 10 parachutes, preload the crossbow with the grapple and add it to your inventory, also put the parachutes in your bar. If it’s a level 15 or so get 30-40 tranq darts or get 20 shocking tranq darts. Find the quetz and get near it in the air have your crossbow in your hand before you get on the argen, when you are near the quetz jump off your argen and equip the para, then immediately grapple argen. When you’ve done that, shoot a dart at the quetz then send your argen after it using the whistle, since quetz fly towards 50,50 you are near water, count how many times you hit it to make sure it doesn’t knock out over water, if it knocks out near 50,50 make sure you immediately put spike walls all the way around it. Once you’ve done that kill all creatures around, then give it prime and 200 narcotics. Cryo
More Quetzal Taming & KO Tips
The fun way is to jump off and grapple to your argie and whistle it to attack and since argies are slow it won’t catch up in time so tranq till it goes out also bring parachutes and consider liking so more people will know
If you don't have tapejara, you can craft parasutes, jump of a pteranodon or argentavis use parasutes and shooting in quetz(easy to do on mobile version of ark)
Idk why everyone makes this so complicated with all the grappling stuff all you have to do is,
1. Get or use a tapejara that’s a low level with a couple levels into movement speed
2. Get a rifle or crossbow with either darts or tranqs
3. Find a quetzal and then go to the back of your tapejara and set to attack the quetzal
(Since quetzals have high health and ur using a low level tapejara you can actually leave the tapejara to attack the quetzal, it’ll be fine)
4. Knock It out, not over water, and put whatever you want into it and ban you have a quetzal
Btw, you don’t need to worry about the tapejara’s stamina, it doesn’t decrease while you sit in the back seat
To the guy who gave specific areas to find these guys on mobile, thank you very much. You’re right… that strip of land in front of craggs island, and the spike directly behind the red obelisk. Kill it and take its implant, and revive it on a platform with an enclosure around it. I’m literally doing just that right now. Happy taming! :D
Guys this is the ersieht was to tame a quetzal. All you need is a tapejara.
1) Whisle your Tapejara to follow you
2) Ride you Tapejara and surch for a quetzal
3) When you found a quetzal, go an the back of the Tapejara (dont forget that you have to make the follow whisle on Tapejara, otherwise the will Flyer to the ground)
4) Make the attack whisle while you are on the Tapejata's back, so your tapejara will follow the quetzal.
5) Just shoot the quetzal with tranq darts/arrow and make the passive whisle on the Tapejara when he is too close to the Quetzal.
6) Repeat that till the quetzal gets knocked out and enjoy your quetzal taming.
TIPP: They spawn near the Obelisk and fly trought the whole map after spawning. GOOD LUCK!
Use a tapejara, sit on the passager seat and set it on my target. Then make it fly to the quetz. Shoot the quetz with any sort of tranq ammo. Do this reapetly and you Have knocked quetz👌
If you manage to knock a quetzal out, try starve taming. If you never tried starve taming it’s just leaving a Dino’s hunger go to half way or lower and then you start feeding. I’ve done this many times and it’s very useful taming trick.
SOLO TAME
Bring:
-5 honey
-4 dinosaur gates
-bird
How:
Put the honey in your hotbar (unstack them, so 1 in each slot)
Fly over him en throw the first honey on it’s body (press the hotkey from the honey and it will throw the honey) It will follow the honey that’s falling. Dino’s on the ground will eat the honey too so keep dropping honey until the quetzal is on the ground eating honey.
Place some dinosaur gates on top of him to get him stuck. Shoot it with tranq arrows and feed some prime meat
Easy solo quatzal tame
Enjoy
Important note !!
Quetz will not follow you if you eat a rare flower!
If you have any dodo arrows, make a trap (tutorials on YouTube) the shoot the quetzal with the dodo arrows. The quetzal will get triggered at you and lead it to the trap.
