What are tips for quetzal? Tips and strategies for quetzal in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If you're on a cluster bring a snow owl and freeze it mid air and just surround the quetz with gates
Easy af if you have a tribe mate and tapejara just fly up to the quetz and let your probe just tranq is out make sure it’s not over water obviously
Get urself a griffin....tranq the quetz from the back of the griffin....raw mutton works best if you don't have kibble...tada...quetz
I've seen a couple flying down near the southern beach, they like quite cool.
Screw flyers nerf, I'm just gonna boost the hell out of a proctodon
Use tapejara not argy I used argy and I died so I made a vow never to play ark again
Knock out is too easy now that we have the net gun..
All you gotta do it bet it and shoot it’s eye wile it’s down it’ll do like 5-6x the amount of torpor then when it gets out of net just chase it for a bit and keep shooting till it knocks if your using a low tier weapon for tranqing you might need to net it again it used to be you had to chase em and try to bulls eye it’s eye to get the extra torpor but now the net gun makes it to easy you could also just trap it with some Dino gates and if you’ve got a tribe you could all shoot it wile it’s netted and knock it out real quick but careful not to shoot it once it’s out
Use a griffin and just keep pelting it with tranq darts. Once you're out of stamina, switch to the passenger seat (have the griffin on follow) and switch back to your main one once the stamina is full!
Theyre great Metal companions esspicialy in Brutal mode cuz when you knok a High level quetz youll get lots metal in easy mode theyre kinda useless cuz of theyre low level and weight (also btw dont put storage boxes in its back and fill it with metal the quetzal will notice the metal in the storage boxes)
Just a quick tip of was at my base at the mountain in the redwoods when I spotted him mid air and was pretty scary
Get Griffin
Ride Griffin
Hold longneck with darts
Find Quetzal
Shoot Quetzal
Feed Quetzal
😳
If you forget were your quetzal is just request the creature i could have lots of dinos if i know that
To tame use a tapejara and use the chair button then shoot the Quatzal then let him run and once he unloads fly to him and he won’t be running away and just keep doing that and you will knock him or her out, they need a LOT of narcotics, hundreds really, and you can search for prime but leave the tapejara and put him on neutral so it can protect the quatzal, the quatzal is also nicknamed “lord of the skies” because he is the only flying Dino that can hold a platform saddle on the island map.
If you see a a lvl 10 or 20, and if you are only on 40 lvl with pterenedon and parachutes, jumb right above quetzal and hit at least 2 arrows each time. It will be k.o. in 10 to 20 arrows for real.
Or you can level up and use grappling hook. Take a pterenedon with low attack and high stamina, put some Wight on pterenedon to make it's speed same as quetzal. (Test it before flying by calling via whistle). Go above quetzal , open parachute and use grappling hook. Set the quetzal as target and you can change arrows to tranq and k.o. quetzal.
Keep your weight low only keep kibbles bio and tranq arrow in inventory and maybe some spikes in pterenedon because it may be slow when it is carrying you but once you choose quetzal as a target it will run neglacting your weight.
It's easier with a tippy or 2 players and another quetzal
If you with tribe mates just get either argy or pteranodon pick up your tribe mate and the tribemate who has been picked up just start tranqin out with any tranq ammo worked for me and now I have 2 high lv quetzals 🙂
I find that the best way to encounter these beings is by not having the equipment or dinosaurs to knock it. The level is determined by distance from your base/supplies (easier to get supplies=lower level).
