How do I kill a quetzal? quetzal battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
I would love to know how you guys find all of these quetzals, I live right next to the red obelisk and havent found one near yet .-.
I have found quetzals all over the map besides red obilisk.
They do spawn at red obelisk but takes a lot of time and you need to be flying to see them at all
It's a great dino for traveling but the problem is whenever something hits this thing that hasn't touched grass it dismounts and runs away it's annoying af
I’m a lvl 84 and I’ve only seen these guys about 7 times. I was on my Argy, higher than the tallest redwood tree and I seen them. Yes they like to fly high and they have been watching you tame that lvl 45 dilo.
Quetzals spawn at red obelisk but you have to go about the same hight as the bottom of the obelisk
So how to find this animal It’s usually near the red beacon Like this
Make sure to bring a soothing balm helps a lot
Personally I find the highest levels to be spawning in between half burnt and north tropical (center) and near the snow mountains (island)
They spawn all over but always make a B line for the red obelisk
On ragnarok they spawn in the lava and snow areas mainly around 41.0 51.0
If you frequent the redwoods on ragnarok you can sometimes find them upriver trapped around the edge of the southern lake cliffs. Just so people can find the easier knockout location for taming.
It’s pretty hard to find and you have to a lot of arrows so make sure your prepared
The ULTIMATE Dino team: island, mobile compatible too
Tanks: 3-5 sarcos, a therizno, and 2 brontos
Scouts: high level raptors, and mabey some sabbers
Attackers: 1giga, 2 spinos, and a Rex (if no giga spino is great sub)
Pursuits: (not on mobile) a small team of pegos with some itchy seagulls both are to drain supplies
Ariel team: idrk about aerials so I’m thinking a quiztle and some pteranodons and tappys canons attached and riders with bows
When attacking a op tribe with these dinos here is a good strategy:
Send the scouts to survey the camp, and report back. Send the aerials first, they will be kinda of wave 1/2 and will distract the op players and keep eyes mostly off the ground. Then send in the pursuits. They will rob most of the players out of their stuff and distract them. Now, start moving in the tanks and the attackers. Have the brontos break through any wall that keeps the others from getting in and then start demolishing the base. Have the raptors and sabers stay at the edge of the base to catch escapers. With this strat you will totally ruin someone’s day but become sooo op if u
win 🏆
It's been 4 days since I wistle my argie (lvl 163) to attack that *#$;$\ cause I was thinking I shooted it whit my grappler to try and tame the quetzal but it juste flew away whitout me and since then i haven't seen him anywhere...
1. Go to the red obelisk and if you are on mobile, go out of render distance and keep tidy saving till one spawns.
2. If it’s low level, kill it and repeat step one.
I used this tip and now I have 5 quetzals :D
If your on ark mobile like me you really need to wait untill you complete hunt argentavis or argie pursuit. All you need to do is kill 8 argies...
I thought the reward would be something like a gun blueprint but it was a quetzal or quetz saddle (journeyman) so anyways you might want to have a tape to tame it idk, have a good day!
I've found all mine at the volcano and redwoods on the island
If you somehow encounter a Quetzal on the ground and you can't fly up there to shoot at it, forget it. It's impossible to shoot at it from the ground it doesn't hit the Quetzal. Just get a flyer like the PTERANODON, GRIFFIN, or TAPIJARA, and you should be fine.
On Mobile, randomly encountered a lvl 280 by Red Obelisk. Chased down on my Argy with my Pteranodon set to attack. Between the two of them, was able to bring it down, get implant, and revive WAY easier than trying KO from a Tapejara.
