Tek Quetzal Egg & Breeding Calculator

Breeding the Tek Quetzal produces fertilized eggs that require careful temperature control. Incubation temperature must stay between 5°C and 6°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 16 hours and 39 minutes.

After hatching or birth, the baby Tek Quetzal matures over an extremely long period, one of the longest in the game, reaching adulthood in about 5 days and 12 hours at 1x maturation. The most labor-intensive part is the baby phase (0–10% maturation) when it can't use a Feeding Trough yet.

Offspring inherit parental stats and have a small chance to mutate, gaining +2 levels in a random stat. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.

The dino is inside an egg, needing specific conditions to incubate and hatch. The ideal temperature range is 5 - 6 °C.

The hatched dinosaur, now a baby, needs constant attention and food placed directly in its inventory to survive, or a nearby Maewing to take care of its needs.

Juvenile

10% - 50%

26:27:18

The dinosaur reaches the juvenile stage, where it can now eat from a feeding trough, reducing the need for direct feeding.

Adolescent

50% - 100%

33:04:07

The dinosaur reaches the adolescent stage, becoming more independent and able to follow you while continuing to grow toward full maturity.

Raising a baby Tek Quetzal involves three maturation phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~794 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~53h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~66h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Imprinting during maturation provides permanent stat bonuses. At 100% imprint, the Tek Quetzal gains 30% bonus damage and resistance when ridden by the imprinter. You'll be asked to cuddle, walk, or feed specific kibble at regular intervals during maturation.

Use the raising calculator to plan food requirements for raising Tek Quetzal babies through all three growth stages. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~794 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.

The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Tek Quetzal raises by totaling food across all babies. Consider food spoilage when choosing what to feed: Kibble lasts days, while Raw Meat spoils in minutes.

During the Baby phase (0-10%), you must hand-feed or use a Maewing to nurse. From Juvenile (10%+), dinos can eat from a Feeding Trough on their own. Use Preserving Salt in troughs to double spoil times.

ARK: Survival Ascended features the Tek Quetzal as a tamable, flying, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. Classified under the Variant group.

Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it decent hitting power. Health-wise, the Tek Quetzal sits at 1,200 base, making it extremely durable. Its base Stamina of 800 gives it outstanding staying power. It carries 800 base Weight - massive inventory space.

To tame the Tek Quetzal, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Exceptional Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.

After taming, the Tek Quetzal is prized as a flying transport, capable of hauling large inventories over long distances. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 5°C–6°C temperature window. Defeating one in the wild grants 18 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.98 Element plus 0.1 Element per level.
