Quetzal — Detailed Guide
The Quetzal is the largest flyer in ARK. It carries more weight than any other bird, lifts large creatures, and can wear a platform saddle that turns it into a flying base.
Where to find it
It glides high above The Island, The Center, Ragnarok, Valguero and Extinction in both games, Astraeos in ASA, and Crystal Isles, Fjordur, Lost Island and Genesis Part 2 in ASE.
Taming
A knockout tame, done in the air. Fly alongside it and shoot it down with tranquilizers, but make sure it lands somewhere you can reach. Its platform saddle unlocks at level 97. See the taming calculator.
Breeding
- Egg: hatches in about 16 hours 40 minutes.
- Temperature: very cold, 5 to 6 °C, so it needs a cooled room.
- Growth: a baby matures in about 5.5 days at 1x.
Uses
- Transport: heavy loads and large creatures.
- Platform: a flying base for turrets and storage.
Tips
It is slow and an easy target. Escort it when it carries anything valuable.
