Quetzals are majestic flying creatures that players can breed to achieve unique and vibrant color variations. We will provide step-by-step instructions and share our experience in obtaining these mutations. Get ready for an adventure filled with 400 Quetzal eggs and the quest to unlock stunning color mutations!
Gathering Stable Bedding
Before we dive into the breeding process, let’s address a common question: where to find stable bedding? You can obtain stable bedding from the Castle Keeps in Forts mod. Simply add this mod to your game and enjoy the improved performance and functionality of stable bedding. Say goodbye to the hassle of using AC units!
Let the Incubation Begin!
Now that we have our stable bedding and eggs ready, it’s time to start incubating. Make sure you have a sufficient number of eggs, as we’ve prepared a whopping 400 Quetzal eggs for this breeding session. The excitement is brewing as we anticipate the arrival of unique color mutations.
The First Hatch
As the eggs start hatching, we eagerly examine each newborn Quetzal. We inspect for color variations and potential mutations. Our first observations reveal that some colors may seem unusual but are actually normal. However, we stumble upon a red-face mutation, which marks the beginning of our successful journey.
The Quest for Mutations
As we continue hatching more eggs, we encounter different colors and variations. However, it becomes clear that not every color alteration is a mutation. We learn to distinguish normal colors from mutations, ensuring accurate assessments. Despite our excitement, we only manage to obtain a single mutation during this phase, a pink secondary face color.
Exploring More Color Variations
As the breeding process progresses, we discover even more color possibilities. From lavender mohawks to green wings, the range of color combinations is astounding. We occasionally mistake some colors for mutations, only to realize they are standard variations. However, we remain hopeful and continue hatching more eggs, determined to uncover additional mutations.
The Disappointing Reality
Despite our efforts, it seems luck is not on our side. With hundreds of eggs hatched, we only managed to obtain a few mutations. It becomes clear that breeding Quetzals for color mutations can be a challenging endeavor. The need to acquire more eggs and potentially restart the process becomes evident.
The Journey Continues
Undeterred by the lack of mutations, we persevere and hatch another batch of eggs. This time, our luck starts to turn as we uncover a black mohawk mutation and a beautiful teal Mohawk mutation. The excitement builds as we hunt for more mutations, hoping to complete our collection.
The Final Stretch
As we approach the end of our breeding journey, we have a moment of uncertainty. Will we find the elusive body-zone mutation we desire? Our last batch of eggs holds the answer. We meticulously examine each hatchling, praying to the RNG gods for a favorable outcome. And finally, our prayers are answered as we hatch a yellow wing mutation and a lime-green neck mutation. Though we didn’t achieve all the desired mutations, our collection is awe-inspiring.
Conclusion
Breeding Quetzals and unlocking color mutations in Ark Survival Evolved is an exhilarating yet challenging process. With dedication, patience, and a bit of luck, you can create a stunning variety of Quetzals with unique color combinations. Remember to be vigilant in differentiating between regular colors and mutations, as this will guide your breeding strategy. Despite setbacks, the journey of Quetzal breeding is rewarding and provides a sense of accomplishment when you witness the beauty of your mutation collection.
