What are tips for quetzal? Tips and strategies for quetzal in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Just know while breeding them put them on passive or else they will fly away and get eaten by a giga
A way I’ve done it on mobile is jump off my flying tame and parachute down and grapple it then just KO it
U can freeze it with a snow owl and on the ground trap it with gates
Everone is saying to grappe the argy but why not grapple the quetx and put the argy on follow and pring a parachute so you don't die when it gets knocked (I haven't realy tested this but it should work pretty well).
Just shoot it out the sky with a harpoon net simple
With taming at 0.1 and level 9999, this dude takes 1086 hours, which translates to 45 days.
Just get on da back of a Griffin then, shoot it like an enemy 'till it falls down. My first one landed in the swamps and I killed it 'cuz it's just lvl 10. The second one landed in the water near da volcano, and I killed it too. The last one, landed near a mountain and I commited massacre before chucking in kibbles and 3x soothing balm. Made a bed then, when I woke up it's tamed. Btw, it's a lvl 90 one and her name's Ferra.
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!
When raising prepare a lot of cooked meat jerky for when you must log off to sleep or work, and the next day swap it out with cooked meat while your online, and before you get off again switch back to jerky, if you have enough it won’t starve and won’t spoil... or just simply lose your job and your girlfriend and don’t move from your chair for a week or so ;)
Here is how tô tame a quetz(I'm mobile), If you have flyer symbiote( i think thats the name, idk, its a meganeura that makes you glide and avoid fall damage) use It then jump of you flyer( while on land set It to follow previously) grab with Hook It and gjrn start TO KILLING, yea kill the quetz then revive It in a revival platform inside a trap the KO It, and use your balm and Kibble or you can sleep before, its a bug that SMASH DOWN the wild creatures food If they are awake, the tame and put the saddle from the Hunt: argentavis( needs fabricated rifle engram), i guess health, speed , weight and stamina are the best stats tô level
Use Tapejara with tribemate or follow method (it’s all over here)
You can use dodo arrow then make a bird cage that will only save your and yours bird but I consider using a tapejara the when the little bit of torpor is left it will fly away then chase it and tranq it BOOM
You have your self a Quetzal
So, Your Probably Here On How To Tame A High Level Quetzal. Well Here’s A Guide (MOBILE ONLY!)
1. Get A Bird Or Pterodactyl
2. Do Piranha Pursuit
3. Get A Lot Of Prime Meat Or Allo Kibble
4. Use The Balm And Meat/Kibble To Tame A Low Level Griffin
5. Use The Griffin To Tame A Low/High Level Quetzal (Can Stop Here If You Just Want A Quetzal And Your Not A High Level)
6. Make A Quetzal Plat Form Saddle
7. make A Quetzal Trap
8. use The Trap To Tame A Even Higher Lvl Quetzal
To solo KO this dino, jump off your bird with grapple equipped, grapple onto your bird then whistle it to attack the quetz, when you are near, whistle 'stop all'. Switch to tranq darts and shoot, rinse and repeat... gl!
whistle attack on ps4 is left bumped and down and aim at a target. whistle follow is left bumper up
tip for finding them and taming on mobile: you can go to red ob, use tidy save, check for quetz at the spawn and if it doesn’t spawn then get a bit far away from red ob then go back and retry
also im not sure if titanosaur shares the quetz spawn but if you also wanna painfully tame a titanosaur then they can also spawn if you do that
Lure them into a trap with rare flowers and a flying creature that either can outrun it or is faster than the quetzal
The easiest, EASIEST way to tame a Quetzal, is to go to a GEN 2 server, fly up to it yourself, shoot a net at it fall to the ground with and hit with tranq darts. Wash rinse repeat until ready to tame, then it's all down hill from there, unless there's a predator near by. Regardless of what you do, you need to prep before hand, bring a lit of Narco, tranq darts and food (dealers choice/ refer to doddex). Then it's all yours.
If you play duo grab your friend with Argent and chase Quetzal. I Recommend 2x Longneck rifle on higher level and second Argent on follow to fast swap when first gets tired. I broke one and almost second rifle on lvl135. 150 darts were enough even with some misses. Prepare to build trap with stone dino doors to protect him. Ours dropped near 145 alfa raptor… Rip Flying Truck. It was good Argent :(
They usually spawn around red obelisk (on mobile). Use the tall rocks around the obelisk to your advantage, landing on them and shooting your darts/tranq.arrows from firm land. Bring about 5 to 6 parachutes too in case he flies away too far from the tall rocks and hills shooting range and you have to fly all the way over him and dismount. Be advised tho, when you're falling with the parachute, you need to aim rather carefully so you don't waste too much ammo.
Once it falls, be ready to fill it with meat and narcs. Having a quick-crafted mortar could prove very useful to maintain the beast asleep as you continuisly seek berries and craft more narcs. If available, a soothing balm can help tame it a lot faster.
Good luck and have fun!
