ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
There is usually at least one quetz roaming around the red obelisk and craggs Island. Go over there and kill any and all quetzals that aren't of your liking, and then fly to above the nearby swamp or The end of the red lake (or further). Then fly back and be sure to check above the beach area between craggs and the obelisk which is separated to craggs by a thin water path. If no quetzal has spawned there then look around and west of the obelisk. If no quetzal has been found in either area then try flying further away or waiting 10 sec before going back. This method works especially well on evolution event which is when I've mostly tried it. Good luck!
Is it just me who is really unlucky finding any quetzals
Searched the entire map 4 times over and still no quetzal
I always find my quetzals at the red obelisk
If you use a tapejara to follow and knock out the quetzal you have to whistle follow or else when you switch seats you’ll descend instead of staying in the air
If you have a friend playing with you. Get an Argentavis, make your friend lift you using Argentavis and shoot the Quetz from there.
If youre solo, you can use Tapejara, jump on the passenger seat and just command the Tapejara to chase the Quetz, this can be a bit challenging because the whistle doesnt work well all the time.
Before you knock out the Quetz, make sure it wont fall into the ocean or river, so it wont drown. Feed it with the neccesary taming food, and there you have it.
Just use a rhynio, as you can shoot off the back of it.
Don’t need to mess around with argys and grappling hooks, just raise yourself a rhynio and you’ll find your life on ark gets a lot easier.
If you tame this cooked fish meat your a god and deserve a medal
When I first saw this thing my mind said “that’s a big *ss bird”
If you can’t find any check around Craggs island/Red obelisk.
If you don't have tapejara, you can craft parasutes, jump of a pteranodon or argentavis use parasutes and shooting in quetz(easy to do on mobile version of ark)
Why do these guys always knock out and fall near carnos, raptors and sabers
Heres how to get one to spawn.
1. Go to red obelisk.
2. Fly high on Tape.
3. Press Tidy Save, (Do not worry, your mounts are okay)
4.Wait for a few seconds, then go down and search the air high.
5. Next, you have a chance to see a Quetzal, randomly.
6. You might have to do this a few times.
7. Enjoy your Quetzal Experience.
Tame tapejara. Jump in front seat on the ground. Use " go to this area" button to get air born. Comma on pc I think. I tell mine to chase other fliers. It takes a few tries. Use same button to direct tapejara to quetzal. I used tranc darts. And raw prime meat. Got lucky and killed some carnos next to him when he went down. I was level 90 ish and he was level 7 or 8. Took about 10 darts and maybe 15 minutes with the prime meat. Bring narco and be ready to kill anything around where he lands. He is a game changer. Once you have him tamed make platform saddle and use him to tame more.
Ive literally only ever seen one in my entire 2 years on th ark. And it was tek. What. :|
