Quetzal is one of the largest birds in Ark Survival Evolved. Thanks to its size, Quetzal has always been a highly sought-after tame, and it also holds in the newly released Ark Fjordur expansion.
Quetzals are great for mobile resource bases or carrying heavy weight from one place to another. With the platform saddle, you can set up a mobile refining station with forges and a smithy or turn it into a mobile hatchery with AC units and a generator.
If you are interested in taming a Quetzal of your own in Ark Fjordur and building a mobile base on its back, this guide will provide you with its location on the new Fjordur map and explain how to tame it.
How to Tame a Quetzal?
We recommend using a good flyer, net gun, grappling hooks, parachute, and a few dino gates to tame Quetzal. Once you spot the creature, position yourself slightly before it, hop off your mount while using a parachute, and grapple onto your flyer.
Now equip the net gun and trap the Quetzal. Once the creature is down, use dino gates to prevent it from running away. When the creature is trapped, knock it out using tranquilizer darts and try aiming for headshots to speed up the process.
When the creature is down, put narcotics into its inventory to keep it down and then tame it with Exceptional Kibble or Raw Mutton.
