ARK: Survival Evolved took the world of video games by storm with its hyper-realism, as it is a game in which the player needs to learn how to survive in this new virtual environment from scratch, as if all human civilization had died out and only a handful of humans roaming the earth. However, you do have menus and tools to help you locate and discover aspects of the game.
When you start, your character appears on a virgin island, which is only inhabited by you and a few settlements. One of the most important parts is knowing how to start playing, as these will be skills that you will always have to use during your experience.
There are different types of creatures in the fauna of ARK: Survival Evolved, such as dinosaurs and extinct mammals. Also, its creators made sure to include a large number of fantasy animals, in order to achieve an experience never seen before.
There are from normal dinosaurs like the classic Tyrannosaurus Rex to beasts like golems and even Griffins, which are very difficult to get. However, with proper instruction, they can be easily found.
In the game, you will be able to observe different silhouettes in the sky. Of all these, you will see one that surpasses the others due to its large size, and how slow it goes. This is because the Quetzal is a heavy animal. On the ground, these animals do not survive as they have no defenses against predators, so they never stop flying.
How to tame a Quetzal with an Argentavis
First of all, we must remember that there are several dinosaurs in the game that react to the presence of Wildflowers, however, the Quetzal is not one of them. Also, he is a creature whose behavior is to shelter before fighting, so he will try to escape on the first attempt to tame. In the present the way of tameo with an Argentavis is explained.
The Quetzal eats Kibbles, which are the name that the game gives to the Croquettes. The player needs to learn how to prepare Kibbles in advance in order to tame the beast.
It is important to carry a parachute to avoid dying when falling. Once the Quetzal is located, the player must jump off the reins of their Argentavis, and quickly turn around and fire a crossbow hook as it falls. This makes the player suspended in the air and hanging from his animal.
In-game, there are several commands that can be used to tell Argentavis to follow the Quetzal, on PC, you need to press Period (.). When your dinosaur starts following the Quetzal, you must shoot it repeatedly with a long-barreled rifle, which must be loaded with tranquilizer darts.
When the darts start to take effect, you have to make sure that he doesn’t land in a dangerous place. As soon as it falls on the ground, start giving it Kibbles so you can tame it. Sometimes you have to repeat this process several times, it all depends on the level of the animal.
How to tame a Quetzal with a Tapejara
For this method, a long-barreled rifle, tranquilizer darts and the food with which the animal will be tamed are required. Unlike the previous method, you will not need to use the crossbow or hook, and the use of parachutes is not necessary either. What you have to do is locate the animal to tame.
Then, land in a stable place where you have a clear view of the Quetzal, since, once on the ground, you must leave the rider’s seat and enter the passenger seat. This gives an important advantage as it leaves the hands free to be able to use the rifle and the darts to calm the animal.
Having a clear view of the Quetzal to be tamed, and being already seated as a passenger in the dinosaur, the latter is instructed to follow the other. With the ability to shoot from the back of the Tapejara, getting a shot is pretty easy. As in the other method, the beast must be prevented from falling into dangerous places.
