What are tips for quetzal? Tips and strategies for quetzal in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Easiest way for solo tame is with a Griffon.
To tame a quetz, you need longneck rifle, tapejara.
Find the quetz you want in red obilisk,
seat in the passenger seat in the tapejara,
Shot the quetz the best rifle or your crossbow,
Be careful if you drop the quetzal in a alpha creature, giga, swamp, water then go home and give up.
I’m seeing comments about stuff like riding a tapejara and whistling it but legit just net gun it or freeze it with a snow owl and then trap it while it’s frozen
Easy way to tame this big guy is kill it and take the implant and revive under a cage in oblisk it take around 45amber to revive just a choice if u suck at arge grabling wishile taming method like me
Looking for a Quetzal to tame? Go to red obelisk me and my cousin found 11 over there.
You could easily knock one out riding on the back of a desmodus, with good aim and control of your mount that is.
One of the easiest way to tame these guys on fjordur, is to bring a desmodus, and use tranq arrows or darts. You can also bring a harpoon launcher to net projectile it, so it gets knocked off the sky (yes, you can shoot while sitting on a desmodus) hope this helps!
Yo, I’m on mobile, and my quetzal disappeared into oblivion. Like, I can’t request him or unclaim him in the tame menu. Does anyone know how I can get him back?
Use the net projectile on it. It'll work. (Genesis 2 map has this engram to learn).
The net ties it up and it falls to the ground where you can knock it out. Have fun!
Maybe use rare flowers if you want it over a certain area. IDK.
I’d say the easiest way to tame a quetz is a griffins

i whistled and only one creature that i know of was around me, but 2 creatures heard it!!
she might be close by!!
Use a Griffin. If when it's knocked out it dgets hit a bit wait for it to wake up. You can put some thatch walls around it to trap it. They don't attack the walls so thatch works. Good luck!
I don’t know why people waste parachutes and grapples. Just use a Tapejara, set the target and tranq it out. It’s a lot cheaper.
I tamed one alone on the center. I only use the best crossbow and 100 arrows and 20 parachutes. It's easy to fly over it with your pterodactyl or someone else and then drop it, open the parachute and shoot it. If you think you are out of range then drop and open the next parachute so that you get no fall damage. And repeat it
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.
Not sure why there are so many tips on taming these things. It's harder to find them, then tame them. Simply tranq from a Rhyniognatha and follow them down, once they fall. Problem is they don't render unless you're right up on them.
This is a pain in the ass to find
Find a low lvl first then tame it and build a trap on it then go find a high level and fly in front of it and stop and then place the gate on the back end
On the maps like Fjordur where you can tame the Desmodus, it's really easy to tame a Quetzal. Just follow behind on your Desmodus and shoot it with tranq arrows or darts. Just make sure that you don't make it pass out over water!
i got to admit, I am a person who never evolves in Ark. Not even to metal, or tek. Neither grappling hooks. But I do have evolved tames. It was super hard for me to tame the Quetzal, because desired ones got away, and others were too high of a lvl. I had to tidy save so many times my Tapejara was sick of me and tried making me fall with all my narcotics inside of it up high in the air.
Finally I knocked out a blue male quetzal. I was dissapointed, but it was better than nothing. Quetzals are hard tames for me, and watch that torpor.. It falls down as quick as a therizino's. Any quetzal that you have, be grateful for it. For it shall serve you as a help with metal runs.
