Tips & Strategies

What are tips for quetzal? Tips and strategies for quetzal in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
For all of the mobile players that are saying “just kill it and respawn it in a trap,” you don’t freaking need to say it! Everybody knows that. We only needed one of those tips, not 1000. People can just stop sending those. No offense to you guys, it’s just annoying that half of my tips are just the same one over and over again.
I play on ark mobile and recently tamed up a Tapejara. You can switch seats while flying on mobile, so I used this strategy to ko the quetzal I wanted. I activated the Pursuit Tame: Quetzal, cooked up 30 Rex kibble and grabbed 200 narcotics to be safe, grabbed my ascendant longneck with tranq darts and hopped on my Tapejara that I have named Baby Quetzal. Once I found the Quetz, I put the Tapejara on follow so it didn’t land, switched to the front seat, whistled attack target on the Quetz and started shooting. In 5 shots she was down and I just took control of my Tapejara, landed, let it starve out and then shoved the kibble down its throat. The pursuit gives your tame enough exp for 40 levels. I promptly took him home and named him Daddy Tapejara. Happy taming for the mobile players like me😁
Taming a quetz is one of the most hardest things to do on ark so me and my friends found the most easiest ways to tame one first you need a tappy jara then you need another tribe member and you also need a crossbow and a grapple hook and you need to drive your tribe member close enough to grapple on to the quetz and then you need to trank him out and you got a quetz
Shopping list
1. Tappy jara
2. 2 crossbows
3. grapple hook
4. Franks
5.meat/prime meat/fish meat/kibnle
They are very very very very very big.
The only way to tame this beast is to gat a tapera and get passnger and get qurankilers or trank arowws
Super easy tame, simply trap it in air with skiff and stun it. When it faints move skiff little around till it snaps to it, than fly anywhere with it and feed kibble in safe place.
My first quetzals tame didn't take that long all I did was stand on the ground and pump it's butt full of darts and it got down pretty quickly.
I would like to know how all of you find these quetzals, I found one and it escaped cause I ran put of darts, and couldnt find another. GIVE ME YOUR SECRETS!!
Rare flowers make all wild dinos in the area want you dead, use this to lure it into a trap
They are generally right outside snow biome for me
Get onto a crystal wyvern and feed it crystals from it's back, once tamed, set to follow and when you find a quetz, get off the wyvern, you should be on it's back. From there you should shoot it, get back on the wyvern, and chase it. Repeat this process until tranced out.
I found multiple quatzuls but I didn’t have a tapejara. I had my tapejara once and knocked one out but a saber killed it. Bring a tapajara to tame it’s super easy just don’t be dum.
The best way I found to tame this ugly thing was to get a griffin and sit in the back seat and whistle attack target and tranq it out but keep whistling at the quetzal or the griffin will fall
Easiest way to tame it alone is by closing distance with a flyer and using a crossbow with hooks to attach to it, then whatever weapon to knock it down.
I’ve already wrote one but because of word limit I couldn’t write more, after you tame the quetz find a high lvl quetz (I prefer 120 or above) and then make a platform saddle for your low lvl quetz, then make a quetz trap and get a high Stam on the low level, then go to where the high level spawned and if it’s not there move towards 50,50 and you should find it, have the high lvl fly into the trap and then close the trap, after that knock the high lvl out and feed it exceptional kibble or mutton to tame. Hope this helped
Use a Tapejara, sit down on the Front seat, whistle him to attack the Quetzal... So he will follow the Quetzal, then use your longneck to shoot the Quetzal with shocking tranqdarts... But make Sure, that You are on the Front passender seat, otherwise You woun't Be able to use your longneck (:
If on mobile knock it out then sleep to starve it as it only effect hunger on any dino but not torpore it work on gigs and red
I suggest waiting until your positive your prepared, good fur armor in case it flies into the snow and a decent weapon or mount for protection. Take extra narcotics and have your food already on you so you don't risk de-rendering your potential tame. I used a griffin with an acendant xbow, but take caution I got dismounted in the snow and lost my lvl 253 griffin from a purlovia and a pack of dire wolves.
I've tried both aerial solo methods not using a Griffin.
A Tapejara, while harder to catch because of how skittish they are, takes much less resources. You can either land the Tape or use an Archaeopteryx to switch seats midair (then throw away your poor archae). Tape method just requires landing (or an optional Archae) + tranq darts/cbow tranq arrows whereas Argie method takes grappling hooks, parachute, and tranq items.
