Tips & Strategies

What are tips for quetzal? Tips and strategies for quetzal in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I tamed this one level 100 quartz and named it Carter, I built a house on it's back and that's where I live.
Best way to tame one of them as solo its on a griffin (You can shoot while ur mounting one)
On mobile you can find them pretty easily at the Red obelisk just fly really low not to high or they won't spawn kill low level ones and fly out of the render distance and they should spawn again get a Female one for the eggs in order to make Kibble for the Giga
Have a nice day :)
Usually one by red ob. If it's a low lvl, kill it, come back in a few minutes and another should have spawned
I have a ramshackle quetz saddle and I can’t find a freaking one
If you have a rhygnio you can just shoot it from the back, otherwise just fly high jump off something and parachute (make sure ur bird is on follow that's how I lost a snow owl)
I tamed one by using toxic arrows, dodo arrow, and a wall.
If you don’t have a tapis Jara or you can’t team won because they are too speedy use a griffin
In mobile, one method is to shoot it with a dodo arrow(stone arrow and two dodo feathers)and lure it into a trap, but that is not recommended because it doesn’t stay aggroed for long. This is for those who can afford it. Dodo feathers only come from dodos with a size of 1.55, and the chance for them to drop is very low, making enough ammo hard to get.
Rare flower on argentavis fly to trap and than tranq out
I saw this guy on my old base while i was transporting stuff to my new base, tried to go after it with tapejara but i lost it near redwoods, rip.
GUYS A MIRACLE HAS HAPPENED.My Quetz did not fall next to a carno,pulmo or a raptor
I just used a Griffin as you can shoot while riding. Fairly easy just takes an age to tame it. And be careful where it looks likely to drop.
Way to burn time: SACRIFICE
>I’ve been going to the very bottom grabbing random Dinos and chucking them off the very top of the sky it’s beautiful<
Sadly still no quetzals..
If playing in Valguero, be sure to knock it out over land or it will drown. They spawn all over the rivers in Val, so be very carful.
These are basically areal Heavy’s; they’re slow but are quite strong with supply transport.
The way my boyfriend and I tamed a quetzel was. He flew an Argentavis while holding on to me with its claws and I shot shocking tranq. Arrows at it. It took me only a few shots but we got it. Once knocked out I killed near by dinos and fed the little prime meat and raw meat. While he put marco berries to have him unconscious and biotoxin.
Use a snow owl and freeze it and while its frozen build dino gates on it.
I didn’t have a Tapejara so this method isn’t ideal unless you just can’t find one on the map:
I put a few grappling hooks, parachutes, and tranq arrows in my Argie until I found a Quetzal. At first I tried to grapple the Quetzal (which succeeded AT FIRST) but the moment it began to flee the hook was consumed and I almost died. Instead I grappled my Argie, shot a tranq, and whistled it to attack the Quetzal; as soon as it fled the Argie zoomed after it and the chase was on! Because I was grappled onto my bird close to the feet I had to time the shots just right so that the Argie’s wings didn’t take the arrow during the flying animation. The only downside to this is that there is a chance of the hook breaking if the Quetzal flies into a cliffside and/or corner (parachutes solved this).
Tapejara is the smarter option, but if you want to get nyoomed through the sky while your Argie is in hot pursuit then this method is for you. It can take a few tries but as long as you have more than one parachute to open/close at the right time so you can secure the potential tame from being eaten by carnivores. Shocking darts are the way to go but for those not that far into the engrams, a few dozen tranq darts will suffice provided you make accurate shots. (Also don’t cryo your platform saddled Quetz like I did and be forced to rebuild :/)
Happy Hunting!!!
Alright, so you have a low level quetzal and now you want to build a trap to tame a higher level quetz. But you realize that in some darn way you can’t fit 6 foundations on the mobile quetz platform like in pc or like the youtube tutorial have said. Here what you’ll need if you want to build a trap with only 2 stone foundations, this is for mobile player who cannot place 6 foundations like me:
- 2 stone foundations
- 24 stone ceilings
- 18 stone doorframes
- 16 stone pillars
- 1 dino gateway (stone or wood works fine)
Now, start by placing down 2 stone foundations, then place the stone ceilings around it. If you do this correctly, you would have a 3x4 rectangle shape with the longer corner being by the quetzal’s wing area. On both the long corner, place 2 ceilings down in the middle. Now you should have a very scuff “+” shape. Place 4 pillar each on the ceilings you just placed and place doorframe on the corner of the trap. Place the rest of the ceilings on top. Now you should have a box with one side open, you’ll try to place down the stone gateway on this size when you have the quetz inside your box
I have run tested this 3 times, as i found 3 quetz in the same area. And this is how i got my lvl 100 female quetz
Good luck survivor, hope this help! ^^
