Tips & Strategies

What are tips for quetzal? Tips and strategies for quetzal in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
On mobile you can go to red ob and do a tidy save that will make an quetz spawn on a small island in front of the ob.
Drop honey in front of the Quetz and in a direction that suits you. Keep dropping honey and the quetz will follow all the way to the ground. Once on the ground place Dino gates froward and aft of its wings. Tame away. Good luck
Me and my friends attempted to tame a Quetzel in the funniest way possible since we didn't have a Tapejara. We decided that one will ride a pternadon and will grab the other one. Then we will chase a Quetzel. The guy that is grabbed will shoot the Quetzel. I was the one driving and my ark crashed. My friend got dropped from the sky and by some miracle made it on 3 health. I re-joined as fast asi could and was laughing out loud. I think people can actually use this method somehow but better then us lol.

If you're on mobile, do the "Hunt Argentavis" Pursuit on lv71 and get a Journeyman Quetz saddle for free!
Go parasailing to tame this.
1. Find target and jump of Argy.
2. Launch parachute.
3. Grapple hook to Argy.
4. Whistle "fly to” commands and start parasailing.
5. Tranq the target in the air.
I found one. I wasn’t prepared.
Up for me to tame one soon!
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.
If you found one, don't blink while chasing. Don't. Blink.
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.
Hey you!, yes you, I heard you’re looking to tame A Mighty Quetzalcoatlus?,
Welll, look no further!
To tame one of these,is quite simple but here’s the disclaimers
The simplest way in my opinion is using a wyvern and following it around and shooting off said wyvern, since on wyverns when you dismount unlike other flyers, for example Argies and Pterandons, you don’t directly fall off instead you’re set in a standing position
As for the second disclaimer I mentioned using this method is the only way I’ve tamed one so , if you don’t have a wyvern I can’t help you with much. But that’s why there’s a multitude of tips here to aid you instead of mine I’m just saying all this because it’s an easy way to tame them without much resources being wasted.
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 😄😁😃
(I just wrote a few cuz some of you might know the other uses)

You can just change seats on ur tapejara and whistle it to attack quetzal and shoot it with tranq darts. Thats the easiest way to tame one.
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.
SOLO TAME
Bring:
-5 honey
-4 dinosaur gates
-bird
How:
Put the honey in your hotbar (unstack them, so 1 in each slot)
Fly over him en throw the first honey on it’s body (press the hotkey from the honey and it will throw the honey) It will follow the honey that’s falling. Dino’s on the ground will eat the honey too so keep dropping honey until the quetzal is on the ground eating honey.
Place some dinosaur gates on top of him to get him stuck. Shoot it with tranq arrows and feed some prime meat
Easy solo quatzal tame
Enjoy
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.
I jumped off my flyer and used a net projectile to get a Quetz. Took 4 tries.
