What are tips for quetzal? Tips and strategies for quetzal in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Stop wasting your time trying to chase these guys with your longneck you will never catch them. The easiest way to tame the king of the air 👑 is to fly close to them using a PT or RG then dismount and use a Sinomacrops to land on there back. Once on their back, aim for their eye and unload your darts (or arrows) into their regal face. Make sure they are not above water when you knock them out. (Trust me I've done it multiple times. 😭) Congrats you can now take your first (or second?) Quets.

I tried on tame one but I can’t find one so 10 minutes later I found one but then I put a net on it and it fell down right next to a Rex and the Rex Ate it.
How to tame a LOW LEVEL Quetzal:
1:Kill a quetzal
2:get it’s implant
3 revive them in a closed space
4 :knock it out
5: put food and narcotics or biotoxins
6: wait
7:wait more(feed it a narcotic or a biotoxin every minute)
8: you have a quetzal!
People really aren’t being precise with their location, they aren’t as high up as people say they are. Wander around the map, it should be flying about 30 ft above the tree line. If not then look up and around which you should be doing already lol.
On rag, use a griffin and tranq darts... you can shoot from the back of the griffin while flying.... Just watch where the Quetzal lands and be prepared to kill the wild dinos round it when it does fall, like so people can see.
These things are a pain to tame, if you don’t get enough headshots on high leveled ones or don’t have a quick Tapejara or Argentavis then you can let that 135 quetz run away to sweet home Alabama. This is personal experience because I just tamed a 135 quetz, took me more than 20 tries using save states on mobile. Worth it tho, came as a level 202 with monsterous stats
I live by red obelisk and farm the spawn point and cannot find one how do you find them tell me plz I need one everyone says they are so good and I am desperate I have every thing Tapejara , Rex kibble ,taming boost, and tranq darts
Can u use a rare flower to get it to follow u or will it run away
This solo knock out strategy is better than the grapple hook ones. So, all you need is:
-A Tapejara with a saddle
-Crossbow or Gun with tranq arrows/darts
-And of course taming food
-Just in case, bring some parachutes
So, after locating your Quetz, board the front seat of the Tapejara (passenger) and whistle 'attack this target' on the Quetzal. If it's too far, whistle attack on other creatures until it's airborne. When it is, whistle "move here" in the air, so you can follow the Quetzal without harming it. While you chase it you can tranq it down with AIMING! And you can control your Tapejara easily. Boom.
*Make sure the Quetzal lands somewhere safe
You could easily knock one out riding on the back of a desmodus, with good aim and control of your mount that is.
Use a tape jars and a tribe mate use a net after attacking it into a safe area go down and trank it in the head then feed exceptional kibble congratulations you have a flying fortress
On the implant thing on the west of sanctuary on extinction is supposed to be a good spot
Using raw meat and raw prime meat but they're hard to find
Net Gun with at least 20-30 nets. Head shots with high damage% dart gun. Bring Narcotics, Metal spikes, and a lawn chair. This is gonna take a min.
The easiest way to tame is to fly close to it with a Tapejara, shoot it down with an Apprentice or MasterCraft Longneck Rifle, and revive at the Red Obelisk after you build a trap. Stealing it's egg will not make it aggro I already tried
I just used a wyvern unmounted shot then unmounted again over and over took about 40 tranq darts with a master craft long neck with 179 damage but i missed half then just fed it prime meat took about 30 min
The person who said they don’t spawn in the arctic and redwoods is incorrect. I have found these guys everywhere including those area’s. I was riding a air mount when these guys spawned and I was in the Arctic area. And I found 2 in the red forest and 1 with 2 titanasaurs
If you have a griffin or tapejara taming it isn't a problem its just a matter of finding one on mobile its one of the more rare creatures I would say near red, green and blue obelisk you will have the most chance of finding one.
I used a tapejara .set it on follow.Then it won't go down
A fun way that I found to tame one of these:
What you need:
* an argy or PT
* some parachutes
*harpoon gun (w/net Projectile)
*tranq darts/shocking tranqs
Since these guys don't like to land, I found this strategy to be pretty affective for taming. I guess you could also wait for the quetzal to get a little too close to land, but that could take a while. Just find a quetzal, then fly a little bit over it with your flyer. (Make sure your flyer is set to follow you so it's not stuck high up in the air if you miss the first time.) Then you jump off your flyer, use a parachute to get closer, and then hit the quetzal with the net projectile. In my experience, the quetzal shouldn't take fall damage from the fall. Then all you have to do is float down to where it fell, tranq it out and tame! Easy as pie.
