Tips & Strategies
Whenever you need biotoxin to keep a creature with a particularly speedy torpor drain unconscious, these guys can make farming cnidaria much easier, as due to their long neck, they can reach their beak into the water without having to get too close to it, or running the risk of getting attacked and electrocuted/stunned by a successful attack, all while remaining in the air.
Of course Spinos are another way to do this, but taming a Spino is itβs own whole βnother ball game, which can even be more dangerous than taming a Quetzal under the right circumstances.
And thats not even mentioning you need to hoard a lot of fish meat which can be dangerous (megalodon are the best and most common fish meat source but also the toughest in terms of the common ones), and a whole bunch of other stuff, meanwhile Quetzals are a much more simple taming process once you have the right mount, equipment (ascendant bow rivals longneck with tranq darts as torpor scales with damage) and are good at it.
So if you need to hord biotoxin for some reason, tame a Quetzal if it is within your capability to do so (which it should be if you are a particularly high level player)
More Quetzal Utility Tips
When you get a platform saddle, put a bed on it so you donβt lose it.
Quetzals, one of the best dinos. Quetzals can easily be tamed with a buddy, all you need is a flying dino that can pick up people or has a multi-seat saddle. Load up with the appropriate tranq arrows, narcotics, food and set off across the map to find one. Low levels are brilliant for beginners as they can serve as brilliant carriers due to their high base weight stat. Higher levels however mainly are used as "Battle Quetzals", alongside the high stats it will receive from being tamed, pumping health and melee damage is the way to go. With that being said you'll be able to tank base defences such as PSX and Auto Turrets, aswell as kill dangerous dinos with ease. Maybe either of those don't tickle your fancy, then hey, make a "Party Quetzal"! Strap on some chairs, tables, food and lots more onto the Quetzal's Platform Saddle and hover in the air as you dance to Darude Sandstorm being blasted through someone's mic in game chat. If you can get a quetzal, do consider as they are brilliant!
In ASA if you fly too high with your quetzal and reach the world barrier you and your quetz will instantly die and you lose all your stuff. I have no clue why they decided to make it this way but they did so just be warned.
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!
If you have a Tamed Quetzal and dont know how to use it ill show you!
USES OF THE QUETZ
USE 1-So Quetzals have this weight reduction on anything its like a bigger Tapejara that cant hang on walls.
USE 2-Quetz have a high fortidude so if you got an good tier Platform Saddle and add some Metal structutres or TEK Structures on its back and the side of its neck, making it a tough cookie to crack on PVP which is very usefull.
USE 2-Quetzals also have a TEK Variant, i saw one in Centre it was lvl 150 so I tamed it and the TEK Quetzals stats are more better than the original one so basicly a normal quetz has low lvl HP like about 5k-10k HP or sometimes 15k HP but for TEK ones theyre about 10K-20K HP buffing their HP even further and making them tougher to kill when mixed with the Platform Saddle
USE 3-Quetzals are one of the most uncommon creatures in the game having them non-stop spawning in the Red Obelisk which also makes them easy to farm since theyre the easieast creatures to be farmed in the whole game,so if you want to tame a Mosa or Giga just find a wild female and KO it or wait for it to poop out an egg from the sky
USE 4-Quetzals are also used on Taming a Titanosaur (Besides Mechs or Rocket Launchers.)
Thats all for the Quetz uses! Thanks for looking at my Utility Guide! Take care ya"ll πππ
(I just wrote a few cuz some of you might know the other uses)

You can use it to start a profitable ARK Airlines business, or parties, or for raiding if you donβt think past necessity, but instead of landing the quetzal you tell the passengers to grab a parachute and that theyβve reached their destination.π
Fun fact, or not so fun fact: Quetzals in mobile are faster than normal quetzals
WARNING you can NOT stand on the wing
I played on a server and my tribe had a Quetz, so we decided to have some fun by opening a skydiving business. We slapped some chairs on the platform and a box full of parachutes, then one person would drive, the others would sit in chairs, and everybody would take a parachute. Then weβd fly up super high, have the quetz on follow, and all jump off. Itβs a lot of fun, try it
Fun fact: Quetzals actually flew up to 80mph, they had to to stay airborne with such a large body. (550lbs) The Quetzals in ark go super slow!!!
