ARK Survival Evolved Quetzal Characteristics
Welcome to our ARK Survival Evolved Quetzal Characteristics and Domestication guide. How to tame it, stun methods and tables for calculating prey for taming (standard server settings)? This guide will show you!
1. GENERAL INFORMATION:
᠌1.1 Who is Quetzalcoatl (Quetzal)?
᠌Quetzal is one of the biggest birds on the ARK: Survival Evolved game. Although this bird is very large, it is friendly enough up to the attack. Otherwise, she’ll just fly away.
(in the second picture, a bird with a gigantosaurus standing on it)
᠌1.2 Description
᠌ ᠌ ᠌ ᠌Quetzalcoatl is a giant crested “pteranodon” with a long neck. And why “pteranodon”? So: he looks like him in his silhouette, roughly speaking, differs only in size. But the differences between these birds are immediately visible. Quetzals always fly alone, it is very difficult to meet these two wild birds side by side, and they travel far, flying around the entire map. They are predators. But at the same time they are friendly and timid when they attack them.
᠌1.3 Drop loot
᠌ ᠌ ᠌ ᠌Naturally, as with almost all animals, meat, skin, and in rare cases first-class meat falls from quetzals. There is nothing particularly surprising in this subparagraph… :/
᠌1.4 Interesting
᠌ ᠌
The quetzals have an analogue in the form of a Tek creature. It’s pretty pretty, but I couldn’t find it in the game and tame it, but they are there (it’s not a saddle or a suit). Oil, electronics, elementary dust and pearls fall from any Tek dinosaurs.
2. DOMESTICATION:
᠌2.1 Behavior
᠌ ᠌ ᠌ ᠌Quetzal never stops, he just flies, and he also avoids those who will attack him. The wild animal itself flies slowly in a calm state, but it is worth attacking it and it will start flying at about the speed of a pteranodon tamed in a sprint. After the attack, Quetzal will continue to fly calmly on the map.
᠌2.2 Methods of stunning
᠌ ᠌ ᠌ ᠌Let’s start with the easiest way to tame (if you have a friend who won’t throw you off so that you crash =))
One player sits on a flying dinosaur and grabs the paws of the second player, the second player will have to shoot from a rifle / crossbow with appropriate tranquilizer cartridges. Try not to hit your bird! (You can put your bird to sleep, as I did once, and crash). After the dinosaur falls, tame it with the appropriate food (this will be discussed in the section below.
᠌What if I want to tame him alone? And if there is no friend? (it’s a shame) Yes, in this case, of course, it will be difficult, but let’s try:
᠌1. You can do as I do (I did it only once when I was inexperienced). You should find Quetzal, who has been sleeping near the rocks – places where you can land. You should just sit down in any place near the quetzal and quickly start shooting at it (don’t forget to get off your bird). The method is banal and long, and costly, because while you shoot, it will fly away, and while you bring it back, the stun will fall. Wait, but how do I get it back? I’ll tell you right now. If quetzal, and another flying dinosaur, in principle, which you wanted to tame, flew away from places where you can sit, you need to fly behind him and be in front of him. Since timid mobs tend to move away from the target, he will see you and turn around, so you have to lead him where you need to go.
(Yeah, it’s difficult, long, expensive, BANAL, but it works :/ )
᠌2. You also need any flying dinosaur, only it will be easier here. You need to have with you, in addition to weapons and tranquilizing cartridges, a crossbow loaded with a cat-hook. When you find Quetzal, you will have to get off the flyer (in the air, of course) and quickly shoot him with a cat-hook. WEAR A PARACHUTE JUST IN CASE!!! Then, as soon as you succeed, you must whistle to the pet so that it “attacks the target”, and while it is flying after the quetzal, shoot at the quetzal itself. And as soon as your plane is about to take off, whistle (I don’t remember the name) so that he stops attacking it or stops while continuing to shoot at quetzal. And so on until Quetzal falls asleep.
᠌3. It is possible with tapejara, but I haven’t tried it. (I don’t remember for certain) you need to get into the passenger seat and whistle tapejara so that he attacks quetzal, and do everything exactly the same as in option 2
᠌4. Well, obviously not a difficult option. If you already have a quetzal with a platform, then you just fly up to the bird and get off the saddle. Being on the platform, you stand and shoot at the quetzal, and then in a new way: fly up, climb down, shoot.
(I don’t know any other options for sure, but I would be grateful if someone knows and takes the time to write a way in the comments =))
᠌2.3 Approximate amount of prey to tame the animal
᠌Naturally, the higher the level, the better the dinosaur statistics, So we will consider 90, 120, 150 levels. (I will use basic resources, information on the standard settings of the game server, also APPROXIMATE information).
Note: I learned from some sources that you can multiply 62 tranquilizer arrows by the dinosaur level and so see the number of arrows.–
LEVEL 90:
- Raw first-class meat: 57 pcs.; 361 pcs. narcotic drug.
- Fried first-class meat: 113pcs.; 818pcs. narcotic drug.
- Raw meat: 170pcs.; 1284pcs. narcotic drug.
- Fried meat: 339 pcs.; 1284pcs. narcotic drug.
- Raw fish: I do not advise using it, it is worse, and it is clearly easier to get ordinary meat.
- Fried fish: I do not advise using it, it is worse, and it is clearly easier to get ordinary meat.
Stun before falling:
- Tranquilizing arrow: 75pcs.
- Tranquilizing Dart: 54pcs.
LEVEL 120:
- Raw first-class meat: 72pcs.; 497pcs. narcotic drug.
- Fried first-class meat: 143 pcs.; 1107 pcs. narcotic drug.
- Raw meat: 215pcs; 1728pcs narcotic drug.
- Fried meat: 429pcs.; 1728pcs. narcotic drug.
- Raw fish: I do not advise using it, it is worse, and it is clearly easier to get ordinary meat.
- Fried fish: I do not advise using it, it is worse, and it is clearly easier to get ordinary meat.
Stun before falling:
- Tranquilizing arrow: 96pcs.
- Tranquilizing Dart: 69pcs.
LEVEL 150:
- Raw first-class meat: 87 pcs.; 641pcs. narcotic drug.
- Fried first-class meat: 173 pcs.; 1409 pcs. narcotic drug.
- Raw meat: 260pcs.; 2184pcs. narcotic drug.
- Fried meat: 519 pcs.; 2184 pcs. narcotic drug.
- Raw fish: I do not advise using it, it is worse, and it is clearly easier to get ordinary meat.
- Fried fish: I do not advise using it, it is worse, and it is clearly easier to get ordinary meat.
Stun before falling:
- Tranquilizing arrow: 117pcs.
- Tranquilizing Dart: 85pcs.
᠌Quetzal is a good bird for transporting animals on itself or for building buildings on a platform, in general, any, from a simple warehouse / craft room to houses with turrets / cannons / ballistas. Good endurance and decent speed allow you to cover a sufficient distance. And also a good load capacity, especially if you pump it.
