Many pepole are saying get a bird and grapple it and make it chase the argi while taming. If your in single player then you can get a tapojira get its saddle go to the back seet of the saddle and knock it out that way instead

Get a grappling hook and a flyer. Fly close enough to the quetzal, jump-off and shoot it with the hook then shoot it with any tranquilizing ammo you have (wait 5 seconds between each shot)

Also make sure your flyer is following you so when the quetzal gets knocked out you can hook onto him.

if you get the quartz a platform saddle and then whistle it to follow something on that saddle, it will not land automatically when you stop piloting it, as it normally would try to land otherwise.

combine this with an assistive Argy and you can gather resources/tame/explore without you quartz and base being threatened

Tame 3 quetz, 1 base 1 defense 1 to Cary creatures

The quetzal cannot carry allosaurus in ark mobile (old version). I tested it and the largest thing it can carry was a therizinosaurus (tickle chicken)

Fly with griffon and easy job and enjoy

A cool battle :

First tame : quetzal with platform saddle that has c4 dodos on it and turrets mounted by 2 people. One for riding, over for throwing dodo bombs and making sure to restalk the turret ammo

Second tame(s) 2 high lvl yutys with good Stam and hp.

1 yuty is for the buffing the dinos while the other yuty is for scaring the enemy dinos away. (Make sure mate boosted)

Third tame : (s) 6 allos 3 raptors and 6 carnos for charging the main attack. Make sure to get them buffed by yutys and always have them mate boosted.

4th tame : (s) 10 dimorphs for support with quetzal and charging attack. (Mate boosted)

5th tame : (s)2 rythniognathas for taking the vaults and support with resin attacks.

Final tame : 1 high lvl diplo with all stats to hp tanking all of the turrets.

Setting : a hill with a base on top of it.

Description : diplo charges in first tanking the turrets while allos carnos and raptors come with the 2 yutys. Enemy sends in the dimorpths to deal with the charge attack but the 2nd yuty scares them away. Quetzal comes in hovering over the base while the remaining enemy dimorths come in to attack quetzal but are dimorphs easily take them down while the quetzal drop the c4 dodos doing massive damage to the roof which makes the rhynios come. Allos carnos and raptors have done most damage to the defenses of the base and diplo is picked up by the 1st ryhnio and put it away while the 2nd rthynio takes down the last 2 turrets with the 1 t Rex charging in from the enemy base so rthynio picks t rex up and flys him to base. Both rthynios come back and start raiding the loot by picking up the vaults to send back the loot to base. Mean while the enemy base sends back ups ( 2 trex and some dimporths) to try to recover there base but are charging attackers easily kill them. The entire base is looted and destroyed by your charging attack. So yea (epic)

If u reach around lvl 71 on mobile and do the hunt argentavis quest, u can get a free quetz saddle.

Wild quetzals need to have a look at trees and land dinos, not just clouds and other birds

Upgrade health maybe 2 or 3 times, then soam levels in weight and stam because you can just go into air, stop sprinting, stop moving and sit up there for days on pvp servers and if ur high enough your safe

Or mosa and go deep underwater

Position them so that their wings go through each other and they wont move away from one another during breeding. Learned this a few months ago.

You can carry megalosaurus using quetzal in mobile!

Guys it can pick up mammoth in ark mobile but it's stamina and movement speed is kinda bad.

Today I learned that In ASA. You CANNOT place cryoFridge on the platform saddle. It will say “requires placement on floor”

You can still put Normal fridges and and power generators on it. But you can’t place cryofridge. Even if you place a foundation on the saddle. Man they REALLY nerfed Cryopods in this game, huh?

Do the pursuit Thin Air, it gives an Ascendant Tapejara saddle with can be used to easily tame a quetzal. Hope this Helps 😊👍🏻

Great carriers. Use for turret soak in Pvp

Whenever you need biotoxin to keep a creature with a particularly speedy torpor drain unconscious, these guys can make farming cnidaria much easier, as due to their long neck, they can reach their beak into the water without having to get too close to it, or running the risk of getting attacked and electrocuted/stunned by a successful attack, all while remaining in the air.

Of course Spinos are another way to do this, but taming a Spino is it’s own whole ‘nother ball game, which can even be more dangerous than taming a Quetzal under the right circumstances.

And thats not even mentioning you need to hoard a lot of fish meat which can be dangerous (megalodon are the best and most common fish meat source but also the toughest in terms of the common ones), and a whole bunch of other stuff, meanwhile Quetzals are a much more simple taming process once you have the right mount, equipment (ascendant bow rivals longneck with tranq darts as torpor scales with damage) and are good at it.

So if you need to hord biotoxin for some reason, tame a Quetzal if it is within your capability to do so (which it should be if you are a particularly high level player)

Don’t put rocket turrets on them rip Cannoli IV :(

I tamed my first one today but its low level...

Named mine giant bird cuz, Why Not?

It's big and it sounds like a crow or
