How do I kill a quetzal? quetzal battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
The devs need to fix the glitch of it going towards the redwood for those who don’t know there is this glitch were normally if you try and tame or kill the quetzal it will obviously fly away as they are more flight than fight and they would just fly in any direction right? Well no with this glitch they go towards the redwoods and STAY in the redwoods plus by the time you reach the redwoods it would go unconscious which is obviously very bad because I had tried to tame 2 but they both kept go towards the redwoods one fell in water but got killed before I had even registered and the other on went on land but also got killed and now I’m trying to find another one wish me luck!
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
When I first saw this thing my mind said “that’s a big *ss bird”
Quetzals spawn at red obelisk but you have to go about the same hight as the bottom of the obelisk
Heres how to get one to spawn.
1. Go to red obelisk.
2. Fly high on Tape.
3. Press Tidy Save, (Do not worry, your mounts are okay)
4.Wait for a few seconds, then go down and search the air high.
5. Next, you have a chance to see a Quetzal, randomly.
6. You might have to do this a few times.
7. Enjoy your Quetzal Experience.
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.
Personally I find the highest levels to be spawning in between half burnt and north tropical (center) and near the snow mountains (island)
On ragnarok they spawn in the lava and snow areas mainly around 41.0 51.0
So how to find this animal It’s usually near the red beacon Like this
To the guy who said quetzals were ailens and even spawned in the air, there is a like 0.1 second period where they spawn into the land and are on the ground before starting to fly.
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.
Decent chance for a Tek variant to spawn near the red obelisk, albeit a low level, still useful nonetheless
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...
I've found all mine at the volcano and redwoods on the island
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!
You can find these things near the red woods,mountains, and red obilisk in ark ascended
What tapejara level do I need to tame a quetzal? Answer using numbers
Make sure to bring a soothing balm helps a lot
Quetz like to spawn near the red obelisk, but I have found by following them that they take the same route to the red woods back to the red obelisk, I have followed 7.
