Encountering Tips

How do I kill a quetzal? quetzal battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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 🏆
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.
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 love seeing these giants birds flying past us
On Ragnarok, I've found some close to the blue obelisk, near the border (where the map ends until they release the rest of the map).
I've been looking for these things in the mobile revamp version. I found that if you don't find them near the obelisks, you should keep killing stuff there and leave the area, then return to keep killing until they spawn. There's also a good chance you'll find them in the redwood area; for instance, I found three of them flying above the redwood trees right in the center of the mountain. Another tip is to try eating rare flowers and then use a trap, or you can use the slow flyer grapple tactic to catch them.. Hope it helps people find them.
Don't bother finding it. It finds you lol. If you even try to find it then you just wasted time if you didn't find it cuz ARK is pretty much weird. If you found a quetz unprepared then request a flying dino(with decent damage or any flying dino if you really want the quetz) then chase the quetz and kill it then get its implant. After getting the implant then get yourself spawn pod(?) Or spawn it at an obelisk BUT REMEMBER! MAKE A TAMING PEN AROUND THE OBELISK OR WHERE YOU'RE MAKING THE SPAWN POD(?). also while you're doing this, get some amber(for mobile)! Trust me you have alot of time getting amber since the implant expires for about 2.5 days(?)
Have encountered south of green obelisk, north east by swamp of red obelisk, above the mountain in center of red wood forest, and flying around argy mountain.
If you can't find quetzals on a map use this> admincheat distroywilddinos. Then they should start spawning in(warning this kills all wild dinos).
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
the only one I found was north of the blue obelisk
found 2 of these I think I am real lucky cause im typing this from mobile
It’s pretty hard to find and you have to a lot of arrows so make sure your prepared
I’ve found quetzals around the river dividing the volcano from the redwoods and the island next to the red obliesk. But you have to go to a certain height to get them to spawn
Since I tried to catch second quetzal with quetzal trap (mobile), it no longer to get stuck in the trap, it will fly through the trap.
They spawn all over but always make a B line for the red obelisk
These bad boys spawn around many different areas such as they are sometimes close to blue oby rarely but the are mostly around red oby(there sometimes near volcano)
I only saw this once when I was riding a pteranodon, I was unprepared and inexperienced at the time. Now I have a tapejara and a good longneck rifle but I've been flying around the red obelisk for a while now and still no quetz
Not a lot if people know this but one of the best places to fu d quetzals are around the mountains and top and bottom right sides of the map.
Are these supposed to be super rare cuz on my single player save there's to in the sky kinda low like every time I look up into the sky ps I my base is on cragg's lsland
