How To Tame A Quetzal In Ark

Want to rule the skies in Ark: Survival Evolved? Then you're gonna need a Quetzal. These giant feathered friends are like mobile bases. Imagine soaring above the island on your very own flying fortress!

Why Tame a Quetzal?

Okay, let's be real. Who *doesn't* want a Quetzal? They're awesome. Think of them as the semi-trucks of the sky. You can carry crazy amounts of resources with them.

Need to move your entire base to a new location? Quetzal to the rescue! They're also fantastic for scouting. You can get a bird's-eye view of the entire map.

The Taming Game

Taming a Quetzal isn't exactly a walk in the park. It's more like a high-stakes aerial ballet. You'll need to be prepared, patient, and maybe a little bit crazy.

First, you'll need to find one. Quetzals are rare. They usually fly high above the island. Keep your eyes peeled and listen for their distinctive cry.

Next, you'll need to knock it out. This is where things get tricky. A well-aimed shot from a tranq dart or arrow is essential. Try to avoid killing it, which can easily happen!

One popular method is to use a quetzal taming platform. Build a small structure on the back of another flying mount. You can then fire at the Quetzal while your other mount follows it.

Another method is to use a griffin. The griffin's dive bombing ability allows you to easily catch up to the quetzal. It also provides the ability to shoot while riding.

Once the Quetzal is unconscious, the real fun begins. Keep it fed with its favorite food. Kibble made from exceptional eggs is usually the best bet. Veggies like crops can also be used.

Keep an eye on its torpor. You don't want it to wake up! Use narcoberries or narcotics to keep it sleeping soundly. Taming can take a while, so be prepared for a long wait.

Making It Your Own

Once your Quetzal is tamed, it's time to customize it! Give it a cool name. Outfit it with a platform saddle. Build a mobile base on its back.

Imagine having a crafting station, bed, and storage containers all on your flying friend. It’s a game changer.

Experiment with different builds. Some players create full-fledged aerial warships. Others create comfortable mobile homes. The possibilities are endless!

You can even breed your Quetzal to create even stronger and more colorful offspring. Imagine an army of rainbow-colored Quetzals! Now that's a sight to behold.

The Joy of Flying High

The best part about taming a Quetzal? The feeling of freedom. Soaring above the island. Exploring hidden locations. Transporting anything you desire.

It's an experience that every Ark player should have. It changes the way you play the game. You will find yourself using it for everything.

So, are you ready to take to the skies? Tame your own Quetzal and become the ultimate ruler of the Ark! Good luck, and happy flying!
