Net it, tranq it, find and kill an ovis, then come back to find it was killed by a compy

Took me 4 days to find one and with these grappling hook, tapezara stunts i finally Knocked out a lvl 59 and almost done taming like 94% and these raptors came…..💀💀💀

i wanted to name it as coco, one up= one rip for coco.

me: how do you tame a quetz

pro: well you get a quetz to tame a quetz

me: ok but how do u get a quetz if you dont have a quetz

pro:you just get a quetz

a real convo me and my friends had with the alpha of server 580 when the game was in beta

we still mimic that convo to this day "to get a quetz you need a quetz"

When playing on my buddy's server:

Me: Im gonna borrow your quetz.

Him: k dont get it killed.

Me: No worries.

*quetz explodes via glitch seconds after takeoff*

Me:.....

Him: ...whats that message for bud?

I Was on a Tapejara and somehow knocked one when I was on lvl57 and that fool quetzal fell and landed in front of a group of allosaurs. That was the first and last quetzal I found in my game😭.... Now search continues but no luck..... #RIPMe

I had myself a quetzal lvl, 30? (Can't remember the lvl since I use the quetzal rarely) and I still don't have it's saddle (I'm lvl 71) and an hunt argy pursuit popped up on the top left corner of my screen, so I decided to check dododex what I would be rewarded if I completed the pursuit and I randomly pressed story and saw how unfortunate people's future quetzal flew into the redwoods and got killed while they're trying to tame it, I sighed in relief since I got lucky taming one (mine only flew into the beach near the swamp).

1 up = 1 prayers for the killed quetzals. (Quetzals are my fav dinos to tame)

I had an amazing quetz with A plat saddle, a generator, and two turrets with 250+ bullets in each. I was flying near herbivore island and accidentally flew to close to the water and dismounted. I fell off and it flew away towards the mainland. I still search for him to this day, hoping to find him.

There was a guy who ran a free quetzal airplane service and he was nice and would take you anywhere you wanted but a few months ago I joined and the server was in chaos and mourning because some moron brought A CRAP TON OF C4 ON THE DAMN QUETZAL blowing it all up before anyone could stop him killing himself everyone on board and the quetzal (the captain only leveled speed and weight I think so it had low hp despite being high level) That was a sad day so we caught the terrorist and the captain executed him. We are still looking for a new quetzal to replace his and whoever gives him the quetzal gets his level 172 rex. I miss the air service it was very convenient and fun.

So I was looking for people to trade. I found someone gave my a ferti quetz egg for a monkey I got it surprisingly. That’s when I realized I needed air conditioning to hatch it, I DIDN’T HAVE THAT- it’s ok I have the engram but I need the generator and the cords and stuff please wish me luck to hatch this thing if you do wish me luck you will get a gallon of luck

So I was going to red obelisk to find one and I did it I guided him straight to south zone 2 and I had a great time with him until he went to the redwoods I tried hitting him to guide him back but he just kept running away so it was fun while it lasted 1 like=1 prayer for random quetzal

I came here looking for nice stories and oh jesus, there was a gigantic fight over fanfics?? Weird

Anyways: i was flying with my beautiful tapeha (tapejara), when I got freaked out because a blob of darkness appeared out of nowhere, then realized it was a quetzal, when was it added? Apparently long time ago, but I never saw one, mind you, this is my second acc and the first one was in 2019, anyways, I went looking how to tame it, beautiful lvl 19 female that dropped an egg on my base once I arrived, because apparently she was around there, my luck, and all of the tutorials were from 2018 except for one, that was from 2021, all of them were too confusing, "why are you using an Argent if tapejaras have seats and are better suited for following? Y’all dumb" then I realized in 2018 there wasn’t the seat change button, anyways, I decided to go my own way, lvl 21 tapejara with 157% speed, i could do it, crossbow and 56 tranq and tranq arrows, two rex kibbles, i was ready.

I went looking for it, slightly further away from my base, set tapeha to follow me, assist and targeted the quetz, started shooting it, my tapeha was able to follow him from a comfortable distance, but slightly slower than I wanted, doesn’t matter because the quetzal wasn’t going down for nothing, we reached redwood forest, then, the mountain just before the 50/50, there was a Rex there.

The quetzal was fast enough to bump against him, and get stuck for a while before running away, and my dumb self was like "the rex is going to kill it, i gotta do something before", so I jumped from the tapejara, start hitting the Rex, the quetzal ran away and tapeha joined the fight,

The Rex fell but my tapejara followed, for my sadness he killed her, i got there and killed him, but he broke all my armor, and the bag with tapeha’s belongings was unreachable due to the slope and the map. I had to call my baryonyx to get there and to protect me, fortunately I got the things back and went home, defeated. And on that day I sweared vengeance.

Later on I found two more quetzals, the first a male, i got it down but he was killed, and the second one, a female, had to find another tapejara (i love them), grinded till level 62 for toxicant arrows, got 11, got 36 tranq arrows, two crossbows, a 143% speed tapejara, didn’t name this one, and went after it, with the same 2 rex kibbles plus one more. The new tapejara almost couldn’t handle the quetzal speed tho, but after 8 toxic arrows and 9 tranq arrows, i can now say I own a quetzal.

However, the story is yet to finished. This tapejara, that later on I named tapehina, made me find another quetzal, , since now I own a longneck rifle and tranq darts, I decided to tame it (I’m now level 64), but I lost both my Rexes to megapiranhas (they got stuck to each other while following my raptor, i needed hide so i set the raptor to aggressive and they to follow her for protection, they got stuck in the river stones and against each other, and then i got the notifications about one of them, rushed to save the other but she died too, the raptor survived tho, weirdly) so I lost my egg layers. So I needed new ones. Fast. I decided to fly around looking for them, but my dumb self had just came back from a prime meat killing spree and few were to be found, and the ones I did were males, i needed females with eggs, so I decided to go for one of the places I dislike the most, that mountain close to carno island, The one full of griffins, Since apparently they can spawn on both on those places. I had forgotten about the griffins , so I got interested, left my tapehina close to two stegos and on neutral for her protection and came close to the griffins, since I remember they having some sort of "brave metter" or something, idk. Well, I received the notification of the dangerous area, but it wasn’t from them, it was from an alpha raptor that was nearby, so it didn’t go well, i had three griffin’s and an alpha raptor, plus around three other raptors and some pulmunoscorpius agro on me, and I eventually died to the alpha. Respawned to a nearby sleeping bag and ran there, got my stuff back after avoiding the alpha and ran to tapehina.

Things didn’t go as planned, apparently something agroed the stegos and they attacked tapehina, I started to attack them back but forgot to put the armor back on so they killed me, and after that, tapehina. My fastes mount to take on the quetz, my favorite mount to ride on, tame beasts, survive with, my second tapejara, died, for some peanut brain stegos. I knew tapehina could go down so before that we tamed another tapejara just in case but, she is still extremely recent. Didn’t event get the 1st tamed level. How can I tame the quetzal without her? And didn’t even find a rex to get the egg for kibbles.

I now swear vengeance once again, all the griffins that attacked us shall die, All the quetzals shall be either tamed or killed until second order. I’ll tell news soon. - STTC555

It’s a bronto bird

What else can I say

One day I was playing Ark with my friend and a message popped up in the chat which said something like “who wants a free Dragon go to the volcano”. Since me and my friend were curious we went there and the person that was living up there gave us a free 444 Quetzil (it was my first time owning one)

Omg guys you should do this quest now! If you finish a argy hunt, you get a for free quetzal saddle

So today I decided to go out with my friends to tame a quetzal we koed it and we went down to where it landed then there was a Rex chewing a bronto like it was a snack it bit the quetzal but we hoped it didn't but it did now that quetzal has 50% taming effectiveness thanks rex.

Fun fact, these things wing span is as large as a bus

Today I tamed one of these oversized pteranodons, it almost woke up on multiple occasions, almost died on multiple occasions, and almost drowned on an occasion, but finally, I tamed it and gave it its mastercraft saddle that I got from the argy hunt, I have yet to name it, and am only level 71 at the moment so I don’t have access to the platform saddle, wish me luck with this fat bird

Rip high level quets my stupid argy killed🗿🗿

There is one quetz flying above my base, it keeps dropping eggs at me, so, what did I do?

Me with my big brain killed it without knowing it was super rare.

Still regret doing that until now, even tho it's been one year.

Found a 140 quetzal while flying around on a wyvren. Game crashed. Lost the wyvren, a 510% damage longneck blueprint, 250% shotgun. And much more. This was on single player.
