What is a quetzal used for? quetzal battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
The quetzal. The sign you have truly mastered travel. Long gone are the primitive days of rafts wading through shark infested seas, and of flying for ages to simply have to turn back to your base. The Quetzal IS your base. It’s quite sturdy, able to escape battle in a pinch, and can have armies of men and turrets atop it. You do not even need to fly this thing; put a chair on it, have it in its own whistling group, and simply order it where to go, meaning zero stamina drain. You can even have other flyers parked and ready for dispatchement, wether it be an army of fierce pteranodons or ferrying tapejaras or cargo-lifting argies, this bird is a fortress, airport, plane, and war machine.
You can use a Quetz as a mobile platform WITHOUT the platform saddle. Simply set it to passive, get into position, and hope off. You should just hop up and stand on its back. It’s probably a good idea to have some parachutes hotkeyed as well as have it set to follow you in case stuff goes wrong :-)
Happy hunting

This is probably the best Dino for taking things. The easiest way to tame in my opinion is to find one and Murder it to get its implant. Then just revive it but make sure you do it in a large box with a closed gate on one side, then when it’s knocked out give it bio toxin or other narcotics until it’s hunter is about half, then give it a lot of raw meat. Then build another large box on the back with a gate on one side and a large trapdoor on top. Then use the box to trap another inside to tame. Boost the health and you can trap most anything
how to quetzal
1. Get tapejara with saddle
2.put sum rocks on the tape's inventory to have same speed as a scared quetzal
3.find quetzal
4.once found move in the front passenger seat of the saddle and whistle the tape to follow the quetzal with the attack target whistle and just shoot broski with tranqs
5. And there ez quetzal
Or u can eat the weird blue flower and make a medium dino cage with stone dino gates and lead the quetzal there.
Either way both work

The Quetzal’s platform is actually one of the most useful things in the game in ASA, as cryopods can only be deployed around a powered cryofridge. Putting a cryofride and generator on the platform basically makes this thing the only way out of having to walk your boss Dino’s across the island for a fight.
If you are playing on a smaller server (pve Altho you can do pvp it’s just risky) make a platform saddle, get lots of weight upgrades and chests, and announce in chat a location to meet you at and it will take tames, players, loot or even help with taming in exchange for resources or loot, and if they attack or don’t comply with ur prices, use an argy, trop or griffin to make the em pay
