If your tamed Quetzal ever happens to fly randomly tho u whistle “stop”

Just mount it and stop it manually

Or while it try to “escape” just whistle “stop one” once again

Works for me

Theres a really low chance to get a journeyman quetz platform saddle from the Artifact of the Strong red loot crate on the of the cliffs

Platform saddle put a chain bola launcher 2 beds and cryofridge full of pods have your mate hop on the bola launcher ride the quetz into grasslands and you have a moving efficient rex taming vehicle p.s. sub out chain bola launcher for generator and auto turrets to have a moving death machine

If anyone says that the eggs are too sensitive, lemme tellyou this: you can hatch the egg at the blue obelisk on mobile with a rather rinse-and-repeat method once you have fur armor:

-Use three campfires during the day. Make sure the egg is leaning against them to provide adequate shielding against the harsh winter environment.

-Put the egg away at nighttime, as during this time it will be too cold for the campfires to have any effect. (This might be skippable with the use of a Dimetrodon, provided you have leveled it sufficiently for Melee damage, planning to do research on this).

-While the night is upon you, you have 3 options: A. Gather wood and thatch in equal amounts, using your Quetzal to defend you if things go sour, as well as to transport the materials. B. Build a bed at the Blue Obelisk, suicide and then use it to skip the night. And C. Transport the egg somewhere warmer for the night to avoid having to wait. (Option B is probably the most viable)

-Repeat when its daytime again. Follow these steps until your egg hatches. (Keep the egg in a storage closet or inventory such as that of your Quetzal at night to prevent it from despawning while you gather for wood)

Hopefully your little Quetzal will hatch using this method. Might be different on other platforms, but its this way on mobile, plus having to wait only 3 hours and a half whereas Ive heard on other platforms hatching a Quetzal takes 18, so you’re really better off here on mobile.

Hope it helps.

Why does ARK treat this thing like it’s a Aztec god? Because it’s actually named after one! The name Quetzalquatlus comes from an Aztec god named Quetzalquatl. And it truly acts like a god in ARK as an areal base to play Darude Sandstorm(original idea from comment suggesting the use of a party Quetzal)!

If you are new to utilising quetzals, just know that some non official tricks won't work on official. I learnt that the hard way

I like it for metal farms if u dont have a base in the mountains, get as many ankis as you can in the quetzal and go to ani mountain, for beginers i'll recommend the red wood forest one

There big so they look slow but in all honesty they are faster than a average petradon

Meat farm: place down a bed and kill and harvest yourself.🧟‍♀️🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️

-Eighthop

fall dmg caps 500 dmg if u fall

btw u can bypass fall dmg by reloading the game when ur almost about to die like in minecraft

Quetzals CAN NOT pick up allosaurus in mobile

IF U NEED METAL HERE IS TIP:

Step 1 get a quetzal and plat saddle and anky

Step 2 put refining forges on quetzal

Step 3 find good metal rock spot

Step 4 pick up anky and fly there

Step 5 mine ALL THE METAL!

Step 6 put metal in refiners so u have some smelting on the way home

Step 7 pick anky back up and fly home

Literally has one of the biggest hit boxes ever

Basically any boss can get annihilated with this thing. Slap some turrets on a platform saddle, and ride into battle with a few bodyguards and distractions. Ur good.

Tamed one up popped a platform saddle on it added some foundations and put some walls and some other stuff then bam portable base also add some turrets

My friend is a savage who sucks turrets with high health quetzal with legendary saddle and meat in its inventory. He flies over the enemy base and quetzal takes all the damage to it's belly.

bring 2 people, chain bolas and a ballista turret to raids to stop the gigas, also be careful to not hit the quetz. rip ernie

Theyre great Metal companions esspicialy in Brutal mode cuz when you knok a High level quetz youll get lots metal in easy mode theyre kinda useless cuz of theyre low level and weight (also btw dont put storage boxes in its back and fill it with metal the quetzal will notice the metal in the storage boxes)

Anyone else having trouble trying to ride this guy on Fjordur Single Player? I have both platform and regular saddle, but they both aren't working. Someone help?

So this is funny and a tip but if you use a platform saddle build a flying base
