How to find and tame a Quetzal in Ark Survival Ascended

• Flyer: In order to locate and track the Quetzal, you will need a flyer of your own. Argentavis and Tapejara are popular choices due to their speed and maneuverability.
• Net gun: The net gun is a crucial tool for capturing the Quetzal mid-air. Make sure to have plenty of nets on hand.
• Grappling hooks and parachutes: These items will help you get close to the flying creature and increase your chances of successful capture.
• Tranquilizer Darts: You will need a good supply of tranquilizer darts to knock out the Quetzal once you have it grounded.
• Dino Gateways: Dino gateways are used to create a temporary enclosure around the unconscious Quetzal, preventing it from escaping.
• Raw Mutton or Exceptional Kibble: These are the preferred food options for taming a Quetzal. Make sure to have enough on hand.

• Keep an eye on the sky: Quetzals are known to fly high above the ground, so constantly scan the skies for any signs of their presence.
• Use your Flyer: Take to the skies on your chosen flyer and start searching for the Quetzal's location. Fly high above the ground and keep a wide field of view to increase your chances of spotting one.

• a) Exit your Flyer: Once you spot a Quetzal, carefully exit your flyer and make sure it is on passive mode.
• b) Attack whistle command: Use the attack whistle command to get your flyer to track and follow the Quetzal. This will ensure that your flyer stays close and doesn't wander off.

• a) Grappling hooks and parachutes: Now that you have your flyer following the Quetzal, equip your grappling hooks and parachutes. Shoot the grappling hooks at the Quetzal and use the parachutes to glide closer to it.
• b) Net gun: Once you are within range, aim your net gun at the Quetzal and shoot. The net will ensnare the Quetzal, temporarily grounding it.

• a) Grounding it: With the Quetzal temporarily grounded, wait for it to descend towards the ground. Be patient and avoid rushing the process.
• b) Tranquilizer Darts: Once the Quetzal is close to the ground, start shooting it with tranquilizer darts. Be careful not to shoot too many at once, as this may cause the Quetzal to wake up before it is fully knocked out.

• a) Dino Gateways: As soon as the Quetzal is unconscious, quickly place dino gateways around it to create a temporary enclosure. This will prevent it from waking up and escaping.

• a) Food options: To begin taming the Quetzal, feed it either Raw Mutton or Exceptional Kibble. Make sure to have a good supply of these food options on hand.
• b) Vigilance is key: Throughout the taming process, keep a close eye on the Quetzal. Check its torpor level regularly and administer narcotics or additional tranquilizer darts as needed. Be prepared for a long taming process, as Quetzals have a high torpor drain rate.

• - Always have Tranquilizers on hand during the taming process. Quetzals have a large torpor pool, so it is essential to keep them knocked out until they are tamed.
• - Prepare a mixture of Narcotics and food like Kibble in case you run out during the taming process. It is better to be over-prepared than risk losing your progress.
