Tips & Strategies
When you tame your first quetzal, you should make it into a quetz trapper... if you are wanting more... if you don't know what a quetz trap is, go to YouTube! If you can tame a low level one to start! Being able to tame as many quetzals as you want with the trap, is RIDICULOUS!
I know this is pretty common knowledge, but for the guys who always find the quetzal they're trying to tame in an area loaded with sabertooths, carnos, and rexes, all quetzals that are frightened will fly towards the coordinates 50, 50, every single time.
I found one. I wasn’t prepared.
Up for me to tame one soon!
In Mobile just kill it and craft a revival platform and build an enclosure then revive it and knock it out
You can use honey to lure the quetzal to the ground and into a trap.
If you have Rhynio, you can shoot Quetzal and knocked out it while riding Rhynio.
Or drop some honey to lure Quetzal to the land and then set trap.
I dared follow it and waited for it to come down and rest. Unfortunately, quetzals seem to fly forever. So guys, whoever is thinking of doing the same thing, don't. You'll just waste your time.
If you found one, don't blink while chasing. Don't. Blink.
Just use a rhynio, as you can shoot off the back of it.
Don’t need to mess around with argys and grappling hooks, just raise yourself a rhynio and you’ll find your life on ark gets a lot easier.
So... I figured out the exact spots for the spawns 👍 The primary spot is just behind the red obelisk on the thin little strip of land near the southern island. (I almost always see one spawn there) I also find them frequently spawning around the “back spike” of the red obelisk. You will almost always find a quetz around these two places. (At least on mobile) If you want a high level, just kill the one that spawns at these two places and a new one will always respawn back at those two places. This technique worked for me.
These boys can be netted making taming easier.
In order to solo tame a quetz, you could use an argentavis and a pulmiscorpius. Just pick up the pulmiscorpius, and do whistle attack target while looking at the quetz, your pulmiscorpius should start attacking the quetz, raising it's torpidity until it is knocked out.
Rare flowers, egg aggros, etc. don’t work anymore, they never aggro while they are wild, they only flee and they are pretty damn quick, but once you tame them, they are literal flying snails
To the guy who was wondering if you could land on the back of a quetzal and take it, the answer is no you cannot, you'll just slip off, trust me, I tried
Always keep a equus and lasso while taming a quetzal.
If your unlucky enough, the quetz will knock out over water which normally would ruin your day but if you lasso a knocked quetzal you can drag it out of the water to safety.
If you have a snow owl you can freeze it so it falls and then put gates around it
For 'The Center' map the common spawn locations tend to be near any obelisk, as well as around 55,45 or cruising around the entirety of Jungle South. It's worth checking around lava island too.
