What are tips for quetzal? Tips and strategies for quetzal in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Get a griffin and tranq it out off the back of it
I know two ways to get this first is get on a tape with a friend/ally have them follow the quetz while you shoot it with tranqs option 2 is to go on any flyer jump off and grapple on to it and shoot with tranqs
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.
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
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)
if your tapejara is too fast you can weigh it down w metal, stone, or its heavy azz saddle! (just dont weigh it to much or it will be way too slow..)
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.
People making this complicated, one word. Net
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.
Tame strat!
Step 1: Grapple on
Step 2: tranq it
Step 3: when its knocked out parachute down
Step 4: feed
MAKE SURE YOUR REVIVE TRAP IS VERY SECURE
I made a trap and it was trying to fly up and then he buged himself out
Rip 30 amber
How to solo tame:
1. Use a sinomacrops to fly close to it
2. Shoot it with the harpoon gun using a net projectile
3. Shoot it in the head with shock tranqs
4. Give it the best food you have available
5. ???
6. Profit
They spawn near green ob on island. On ragnarok they spawn on the outskirts of Viking bay, as well as over the plains outside of the dragon trench. On valguero they spawn pretty much everywhere you can find 2 or more recessed in one spot, or wherever Gigas spawn.
Tamed my first today. Used my tapejara, flex tapejara to knock him. I used a soothing balm ( ark mobiles) and had a quetzal. I gave him the saddle I got from the hunt argy pursuit and slowly flew home.
