Tips & Strategies

What are tips for quetzal? Tips and strategies for quetzal in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Owning my first Queztal makes life substantially easier in Ark. I use my Queztal for multipurposes like:
1. Transportation for general use.
2. Using as a dropship while extracting a recently tamed dino from a hostile area/ hot zone.
3. Using it as a platform while farming and gathering resources.
4. Using it as a Queztal taming cage to obtain another one.
5. Giving friends rides, or extracts with no flying dinos.
6. Buidling an almost universal structure on its platform helps you if you're short on resources, or at times, lazy like me when I do not feel like producing structures.
7. Best stamina dino while traversing long distances, or taking your kids on a family road- trip on Ark.
8. Almost forgot to mentioned, it is good for construction, especially for high elevated structures. You can also work while flying it,or work on its back.
Overall, the best dino in terms of usefulness, and fun I've ever had. Queztal is love, Queztal is life.
Knock a 150 out w a ascendant slingshot. There some be prestige levels for that.
101 how to tame a quetzal without a quetzal step 1. Get a friend that you ride or pick up with a rape or Argo get beat the quetz then shoot when it's down build a wall around it so no Carlos e.g. can kill it also get a red for meat and take slot of narcotics.
Off to get metal now are where there yet no ok! Are we there yet no!!! Oh wait got land Stam ok are we there yet no flyer nerf is bad!
Although it does spawn in by the red obi..a few also spawn by the blue obilisk as well. One did spawn by the south west part of the snowy or the blue obilisk area
Useless, flyer nerf ruined them! Take a bronto instead
I didn't know this when I first started taming or playing the game but if you knock out the quetzal (or any wild flying type in general) and they fall from a great night they won't take any damage. But it is a good idea to plant spikes in a half circle (if low on resources) you can guard the enter and exit spot to access it's inventory and guard it's sides from other hostile wilds without being right there. Happy taming, yes use kibble!
Best way to take these is to use a club or a frog, bola them use ur frog or club
To solo tame, get a fast argentavis and a scorpion. Then put the scorpion on Aggressive and pick it up with the argy. Find a low level quetz and let the scorpion stab it. After you knock out and tame that quetz make it into a quetzal catcher to get a higher level one.
Just her a friend on a taperjara and fire everithing in. it
If you are thinking of doing the traditional 2 player argy pickup method then this will help you. Instead of a argy use a high level ptera with at least 2k stamina and make sure it's weight is below half while holding the other person. Pteras are way faster and much better. Me and my friend knocked a lvl 25 quetz out within about 60 seconds using this method and tranq darts.
If taming with a two man tapajera team, make sure your tapajera has LOTS of stamina. You will have to speed to follow the quetz around. Make sure to have a good point man too, they will fly through forests and be next to impossible to see without a good eye. And always make sure to bring extra supplies!
If you've never tamed a quetzal and you want one here is a tip. Try to tame a tapajara the have one person fly and another shoot off the back
Best way to ko a quetz when u do not have one already tame a tapajara and have ur buddy ride in front and tranked for the head it's easy for a small tribes to get it
Make a taming pen on the quetz tips: have a platform saddle because if u only have a quetz but no tames just get your mate to tame a terradon pick it up and tame it in the taming pen just have 4 stone pliars thats all u need
Build trap platform on other tame quitz
Best way to tame is to fly with a friend on another quetz use grappling hook, dart it, when it falls have it land on other quetz platform build thatch house around it and safely tame in air.
Red tower is best spot but can spawn around green tower and above oasis
If you have a Quetz, a 4x4 base/ceiling square with 4 stone dino gates & 1 pillar with ceilings to make a roof over the gates is an excellent trap. Fly so the wild Quetz is between the four doors then jump off and tranq. Just dont move again or it'll fall to the ground.
When tranqing, they will head to the center of the map unless you get in front of them.
