What are tips for quetzal? Tips and strategies for quetzal in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Another way to solo tame a quetz is with a fast argy and scorpion, upgrade the Scorpions damage, and set it to aggressive, then get on the argy pick up the scorpion fly up to the quetz and after 1-30 hits (depinding on level multipliers, etc) the quetz is knocked out,
To Knock it out u can use a Flyer and grappling hooks
Best way is to tame a tapejara and fly on the top of it and shoot the quetzal untill it falls
If you have a Gryffon or any other flying mount that you can shoot from while riding, just stay close to it and pelt it with tranq darts/shocking tranq darts. They’re not very fast so they can’t escape a decently fast tame with good stamina.
One word for KOing this thing: Griffin. Super useful creature, the only flier you can use weapons whilst riding. Grab a crossbow and loads of tranqs, find a suitable quetzal, and go crazy! Just watch your stamina though!
If on ragnarock use a Griffin for a easy tame. Driver of the Griffin can shoot a crossbow so it is a possible solo tame
If you have buddies, a good Tapejara can keep up with the Quetzal and angle some really good shots for your friends with it's maneuverability. If not, you can ride a griffin while using a crossbow, hope this helps!
Platform saddle on a plesiosaur, add ballista turret and put chain bolas into it. A whole bunch of them.
Try and hit over land, then tranq him senseless with possible re-bola if he wakens.
Here's how to really knockout these guys in 4 words.
Harpoon
Gun
With
Netting
How to get your own jet turret flyer like tropegnathus jump off your argie and grappe to it argies are slow so they wont catch up tranq till it goes down feed it its preferred rex kibble and boom you got yourself a quetzal then unlock its platform saddle and put minigun turret on his back
hey. does anyone just plain out grapple this and shoot it ko. you might need parachute for when it falls bc its ko
All you need is a tek suit, a harpoon launcher, and some net projectiles to get one of these bad boys out the sky
Guys use pulmono max damage and an argy with good stamina, then you won’t have to spend all ur time trying to find Tapejaras and crafting tranq darts
For the person who gave their Quetz potent dust.
Potent dust does had low chance to cause someone or a Dino to get knocked out, which the thing happened to me when I'm painting my beaver white then it just fainted and fell down the cliff.
So whoever consumes potent dust for levels or painting their Dino's, look out.
Bring stimulants before you eat sand, just in case. It's not coarse, it's not rough, and it's not irritating - but it does clog up your nose, 'addictive', get you high enough to the point of fainting, because Rockwell said to consume the dust is to inhale it.
This isn't my tip, I havent even tamed one of these things yet. But my friend told me, use a dodo arrow, while someone with a griff or quetz with platform saddle brings you up to a wild quetz, hit it with the arrow, land, and proceed to knock it out. Dodo arrows aggro passive creatures.
Just get a revive platform make a trap around it muder the querzal take its implant go to the platform with your trap then find out you don't have enough amber
