These guys are the gateway to late game

And argents are the gateway to mid game

Note: This pterosaur is related to the Quetzalcoatlus in many ways.

This is not a real pterosaur in ARK: Survival Evolved.

Dossier:

COMMON NAME:

Hatzegopteryx

Species: Hatzegopteryx Ottosoleryx

Time: Late Cretaceous

Diet: Carnivore

Temperament: Aggresive

What you would expect as a giant pterosaur is a gigantic, skittish, flying reptile, but a pterosaur that rivals the Quetzalcoatlus and hunts for prey on the land is pretty scary. Large carnivores like the Tyrannosaurus can easily scare it away, causing it to soar in the air most of the time, but the Hatzegopteryx always has a backup by eating mostly scavenging. Hatzegopteryx hunts small prey like compsognathus, and dodos, while also being a scavenger at the same time. This has enabled it to pick up small creatures in it’s beak.

Domesticated

If taming a flying monster was such a good idea, it would be fairly slow but has better health, damage, and stamina than the Quetzalcoatlus. It was too obvious to be a warbird, since has rarely been seen, but makes up for it’s stats and abilities. Also having a “platform saddle” like the Quetzalcoatlus, makes it very important for transporting cargo.

Disclaimer: Pretty impossible to tame in single player.

Cooked Fish Meat (Takes 1 and a half hours to tame a lvl 1. Recommend you don’t use that.)

Taming: The Hatzegopteryx is not a coward and is found mostly in the Green Obelisk. You can aggro one by coming very close (in the ground,) or attacking it. If you are taming it in solo player, use strategies similar to the one you use to tame the Quetzalcoatlus. If you are taming it in multiplayer, you need a Tapejara, and a teammate to knock out the Hatzegopteryx. Go in the pilot’s seat, and have your tribemate to go on the passenger’s seat. Then, start following the Hatzegopteryx and have your teammate to knock it out. But don’t go too close! It will attack your Tapejara or worse, grab you off! Once it is starting to fly away, keep shooting it with your knockout ammo of choice. When it’s knocked out, feed it your food of choice and narcotics, and protect it with a spiked wall. After it’s tamed, name your Hatzegopteryx and congratulate yourself. The saddle is unlocked at level 88 and the platform saddle is unlocked at level 119.

Info: You can’t tame one in mobile single player. Killing Strategy: If you have a Tapejara and another tribemate to kill it. Let your tribemate shooting it with a Longneck Rifle, while you drive around the Hatzegopteryx. Killing a lvl 1 will give you 250 XP. The Hatzegopteryx has many roles, including a destroyer. The Hatzegopteryx can pick up as many creatures as the Quetzalcoatlus can, but has a better weight stat.

Up if you think this is a good pterosaur idea. Happy voting!

The Hatzegopteryx is a real pterosaur in real life. I like it more than the Quetzalcoatlus, because the Quetzal is too overated.

These creatures Do more damage than a Griffin.

If you're a bored and already at late game, consider slapping some 2-4 auto turrets with generator in the platform saddle making it the deadliest dino to exist, and roam around the map killing gigas, it's so much fun trust me

On ragnarok, just follow with decent level argy and a good rifle. Land, shoot tranqs, repeat. Just tamed one near viking bay with ease. A 440% rifle takes only a couple good shots with a lvl 16 quetz. Use low lvl quetz to then get higher lvl ones.

Make a local airlines service. Tame one, get a platform saddle, and Say in the chat “calling all newbs. Tell me your coords and where you want to go. “ set up chairs, say that the price is ten metal ingots only after you deliver them. Lol

Low levels are horrible in stamina and attack. I tamed my Quetz at level 10, terrible stamina and attack. You'll wanna pump your levels into stamina and attack, and maybe even health. ~Meteor, Jan. 9, 2021

I'm just wondering how to load land animals on a quetzel platform saddle? Can't seem to build ramps on the platform saddle and I can't build an elevator. Any suggestions?

Quetzals spawn most commonly at the red obelisk, I’ve only seen two, one at the obelisk and the other over the snow. The thing is most of them spawn at the red obelisk and then fly to a different part of the map, but they do spawn in other areas also.

Ideal for PvP, give it a platform saddle, give it a vault full of parashutes, a vault full of gear, a cannon, a vault of cannon balls, and give it as manny bunk beds as possible. It can be used as a mobile F.O.B., a paratrooper transport, a bomber bird!

If your thinking “what! Just a 2 by 1platform saddle!”just ride it and use admin command change size too make it larger.

Most important about quetzals is that once u tame them, u can lift ur game up to New levels. But to get this quetzal u need atleast a friend to help you, since it will NEVER land.

Just got my second one, definitely a must for beginners, one of my perfered mounts for taming

This is an absolutely amazing bird.What i use this Quetzal for is metal runs.My tribe in pvp servers will always want to get one of these guys early on.If u have an ankylosaurs,you pick it up and have one person get on the anky.Then you get the anky to hit metal nodes.

The best why to build a base on a quetzal is to use roofs when your can't put any mor foundations on it.

Legit the only good way to tame titanosaur. By that I mean you probably need 1. Because it can fly. Bronto is just too small for titano and paracer is way too small. The problem: the platform saddle fits 2 cannons...

PEOPLE have problems from taking their tames back home. Either they die,get stuck or you kill them. But it usually happens cause you are on land. SO? GET a Quetzal and a platform and load up your tame on the platform and BOOM!You,your quetzal and your new tame can get a safe flight back to your base. JUST pump some health and weight.

Ever tired of getting raided make sure ur quest has 50k health put tek/metal base on it fly to sky never get raided so easy

ON MOBILE U CAN UPGRADE FLYER SPEED, IT CAPS AT 203%, BUT MY QUETZ HAS 180 SPEED AND IT IS REALLY FAST!!!

Best giga pickers in the game good saddle and a 1x1 you can pvp gigas but be careful Meks knock them out of the sky for some reason
