What are tips for quetzal? Tips and strategies for quetzal in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Want to tame one of these? Well, you came to the right place! These guys are pretty hard to tame. (Took me a month to find one) Here is a guild on how to tame one:
What You need to pack:
50 tranq arrows or 30-40 tranq darts
1crossbow or 2 crossbows or 1-2 Longneck rifles
50 raw prime meat or more
200 raw meat
500 narcotics just in case
Grappling hooks
What tames you might need:
Tapejara with its saddle ( 3 seater)
Argy with its saddle
Way number 1 ( I did it this way)
Hop on your argy and look for a quetzal (They usually spawn around the red obelisk near some islands)
Since Quetzals never land, look in the air for one.
Once you found one, Jump from your argy and grapple it. You may want to practice before you try to tame the quetzal. Whistle attack on the quetzal and hit it with tranq ammo. Feed it meat and there you go!
Way 2
To make this way short, do the same this as with the argy but use a tapejara and sit on the extra seats. Tranq it and feed it meat!
Tame it using a tapi. Get on the front seat, then set your tapi to attack a creature on the ground. Before it attacks the creature, whistle go here toward the Quetzal. From there you can just continue to follow the Quetzal by typing go here while you're tranking it.
(MOBILE) My way how I tamed a quetzal is:
I found a quetzal arround the green obelisk
Then I killed it with my argy (don't harvest quetzal)
Then took his implant from him
Placed revival platform and built thatch things arround, so he cant escape
Then I knocked with tranq.
You can bring ur friend so he can help u tame it, with Tapejara, Argentavis, Pteranodon,
With Tapejara, ur friend controls Tapejara and you sit on the back and knock out the quetzal
With Argentavis, your friend picks you up with Argentavis and then he flies to Quetzal and you try to knock it
With Pteranodon, same like with Argentavis
-Hope this helped.
Use a tapejara to tame, Whistle it to follow and bang
To the mobile player who can’t request or unclaim their missing Quetz, sorry. You can’t do anything, you have to wait until they eventually starve to death, as you cannot request them so if they had plenty of food in their inventory, you’ll have to wait an extremely long time for that tame slot to be free. Sorry man, hope this isn’t too bad for you.
Have fun not sleeping because breeding takes so long
Get yourself a flyer a net gun, a parachute and yoir weapon to tranq it out(optionally a trap) First get on the flyer and find your quetz then jump off using the parachute and shoot it with the net gun. Then land and build a trap or tranq it out right there
I literally found it on my base lol
Is it a possibility to take an egg and have one Aggro on you, or is that too dangerous?
They are usually around red woods and swamp also I would recommend using tranq arrows or darts mostly arrows cause damage in the arrows upgrade the torpor
My way that i am willing to do to Tame these guys is to kill it, revive it with a revival platform and tranq it 😊
The best thing to do is 1. Get a arge, 2. Fill it up with stone or another heavy thing, until its ALMOST over-encumbered (aka so its slower when you grapple but not to slow. Now grapple onto that sucka and whistle attack target. Happy taming :)
The best way to knock it out is too ride a griffin and take out your Tranq gun and shoot it in the head.
A easy way to tame the Quetz is just by taming a Griffin first and having kibble. Once you tamed the Griffin you can shoot of it even in the air so I just chased it with my Griffin and it got knocked
If using Metal gates Cover the top with roofs as it can fly through the top of the gate somehow
Pls /\ if this helped
