What are tips for quetzal? Tips and strategies for quetzal in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
When trying to knock out or kill it to get the implant from a parachute, remember that a parachute will glide for a really long time before touching the ground and by that time your quetz may be eaten on the ground.
Best done with a griffin, but tapejaras also work, as well as grappling on another flying mount
On mobile kill them make a hut on a obalisk and respond it
If you want to solo tame, first tame a scorpion and put it on aggressive. Then use a flyer to pick it up and chase the quetzal with it as the scorpion keeps stinging it and eventually knocking it out.
If you don't have have dodo arrows to attract it than use rare flowers.but in my case I saw my first quetzal on my birthday and it was a high level one well it got stuck on the cliff and I easily tranqued it.
You should get a grappler and attatch it to the quetz and start shooting it if you fall just in case get a parachute
Took more shocking darts than listed. 145 quetz took 20x shocking darts as headshots. No misses. Mastercraft rifle. Dodoedex showed 6x headshots.
Freeze it with a snow owl, and then build gates to trap it. Easiest tame ever.
Tek Quetzals require double of what it states. I wasted over 100 tranq darts and 40 tranq arrows and 60 narcotics on a 168 tek quetz. Dododex claimed it would only need 78 darts and no narcos. (X7 taming and 2 consumption multiplier). Keep in mind tek are stronger versions of the regular version.
Maybe too lazy to kill quetz and leave render? Go to red obelisk. Fly away, Tidy Save which removes all dinos out of render except tames. Then go to the sand area near red obelisk and wait for a quetzal to spawn. And thats how i tamed a 140 female quetzal, it was soo worth it! Also i realized that quetzals speed limit without ascendant creatures unlock is 200.0% By the way i tamed the 140 quetzal on a griffin with a journeyman crossbow with tranq arrows, it took over 100 arrows.
These things have low troipidy so give it bio toxin. ;)
When you find one grab an argy and attack it until it flies away, then wait for it to get out of sight then follow it and it will have slowed down and repeat. When it’s dead let it fall and go collect it’s implant then revive it at the revival platform with stone walls and a roof and you got your self a big Quetz
I saw a 290 spawn in the redwoods on the island and it was majestic
the kibble is so wrong bring more than it said
5 rex kibble smh.. thank god i bring more just in case
I have tamed him with parachute,grappling hook and argentavis. I took my argent flew to the quetzal jumped off used parachute shot my argent with grappling hook command him to attack the quetzal a started shooting at him. I think this is one of the easiest ways to tame him
These guys fly really high. Found a tech higher than the volcano on my argentavis.
Craggs island and the forest next to the red ob.Dazzit
Sit on the Tapejara,set that Quetzal as target and go to second or third part of saddle,now you can easily knock out Quetzal with tranq darts or tranq arrows.
Don't knock out Quetzal over Red Woods or swamps,I lost here 4 Quetzals.They are spawning in Mobile nearby red obelisk,that is best taming location.
Use low atk flying unit,jump down then use parashoot the graple hook on the flyer then attack wistle then knock it out. Just dont use tranc arrow you might kill it...
Use a snow owl, freeze it mid air then place dinos gates to trap it
