What are tips for quetzal? Tips and strategies for quetzal in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
(Old Ark Mobile)This is very long to do but effective, First tame a Tapejara, after doing that tame a high level female Rex make rex kibble. The the Quetzal taming, prepare, find a high level Quetzal, remember Tapejara saddles have two seats, switch seats then whistle 'target' then the Tapejara will follow the Quetzal, next shoot it with darts, when it's knock down apply soothing balm and put the kibble in it's inventory, make sure the area where it's knock down is safe.
How Long do Quetzals Take to respawn After Last Kill?
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.
Putting it to sleep with Tapejaras is the easy part. The hardest part is to get it to land on safe grounds when it collapses. Almost anything can kill it if ur area is not good.
People making this complicated, one word. Net
Try to tame a low level one and save up for a platform saddle and make a quetzal trap then find another and damage it and ease it in for easy quetzals
Three methods:
RARE FLOWERS DON’T WORK
1. Ride in the passenger seat of a Tapejara and whistle attack target. If it’s too fast, whistle passive, then repeat until it’s knocked out.
2. Use dodo arrows to lead it into a trap, then tranq it until it’s out.
3. Use an argy and grapple to it. Like the Tapejara, whistle attack target, then passive if it gets too close.
Step 1: get on a flying Dino with a buddy
Step 2: find a quetzal
Step 3: knock it out
Step 4: watch it get mindlessly eaten alive by carnivores when it lands
Step 5: obtain severe depression
Step 6: find another quetzal
Step 7: repeat until your quetzal finally lands in a good spot (usually takes 2,000 tries)
TAME ONE THERE ARE GOOD FOR BAIT AND TAMING LIKE THE ROCK GOLEM BECAUSE OF THE PLATFORM SADDLE!!!!!!!!
My base is literally built on red obelisik but I haven't even encountered one :(
How I tamed a Quetzal is by using a Tapejara and while on the passenger seat set it to attack the Quetz and fire tranqs at it also, when its knocked out bring a parachute with you because you can't change to driver side while in passenger.
There are so many possibilities for what to do with the Quetz platform saddle. For example You could make a flying home which, if set up correctly, can fit a bed, a forge, a smithy, crop plots on the roof and a pen for one medium sized Dino.
You could make a bomber Quetz that would drop dodos with C4, or a gunship with Dilos and Velonasaurs, or even one giant pen to carry and airdrop Rexes.
Tame strat!
Step 1: Grapple on
