I use tek quetzals in an interesting way.

I usually put a few foundations down and I put a Indy forge on the back and use it as a portable Indy forge with my ankys

Easy to get in a trap, first get a harpoon launcher and then get net projectiles guide it to a safe area then using a griffin shoot it wit the net it will fall to the floor then place 3 stone Dino gates over it and boom when the net stops holding it it won’t be able to move. Be warned if it wakes up after you leave render it might glitch through the trap make sure it doesn’t wake up. Hit the good button so people can learn - potato

For Mobile Players below level 85 wanting to tame this, first get a flying creature faster or as fast as A Quetz, Get a grapple hook and a crossbow, Plus Taming gear and while in midair near the Quetz, Jump off and shoot your creature with the grapple, Bring parachutes if You fall, and now you’re hanging on your creature with a grapple whistele attack target on the quetz and when it gets colse whistle passive, shoot the quetz with Tranq arrows/ Toxicant/ Darts And the whistle attack again and when close whistle passive, while doing this shoot it with knockout weapean and do it until it is knocked, but dont let it get out of range because you wont be able to whistle attack and you’ll be stuck.

Quetzals are one of the most useful dinos in ark. But when trying to tame one dont lead it through the redwood, me and my buddy were taming one and it flew through there. Long story short we got ambushed by a thyla and we lost all our taming gear and a high level argentavis

Often spawns at the world origin point (0,0) on the island, also around the green obelisk. CAN be chain bola'd although the options for doing this are somewhat sketchy. To solo tame you will either need to goad it into a trap as it flees, use a tapejara and dismount into the second saddle, or ride a paraceretherium or bronto w/ ballista turret attached up the mountain to try and trap it that way. You can also grappling hook onto a slow flyer like argentavis and shoot it with tranqdarts that way!

Ez to knock out, I recommend using a desmo or any flyer who can allow holding crossbows

Best Tame for weightlifting in the sky’s

Use a desmodus. You can shoot on its back and it can fly backwards.

Use a netgun when it flies above ground. Once netted, either have a trap ready for high levels or shoot tranq arrows into their eyes(more dmg). It you have a buddy, have them shoot with tranq darts while you shoot into the eyes with arrows. Be careful though as they’re kinda wimpy at times. Super hard to tame while solo without a net gun.

Once tamed a Quetzal’s stats go up a RIDICULOUS amount. It’s weight goes up by around 200 for a wild lvl 80, which means they are PERFECT for collecting MASSIVE amounts of heavy mats like Metal, Obsidian and Wood. Their health from a wild lvl80 also goes up by around 2000, which is pretty good, and when lvled their health goes up by 500, more or less, each time, which can make them AMAZING 🤩 tankers. Their melee tamed stat can also go up by 100%, And don’t get me started on the overpowered knockback. I just wish these guys fitted in caves.

If on extinction or transferred a SNOW OWL over to another map you can freeze them out the sky and they will land, which could make things easier for you

I've been looking for these things in the mobile revamp version. I found that if you don't find them near the obelisks, you should keep killing stuff there and leave the area, then return to keep killing until they spawn. There's also a good chance you'll find them in the redwood area; for instance, I found three of them flying above the redwood trees right in the center of the mountain. Another tip is to try eating rare flowers and then use a trap, or you can use the slow flyer grapple tactic to catch them.. Hope it helps people find them.

If you have a friend ask him to help

Get a flyer then grap your friend and fly up to the quetz and Shot it. Be careful where you want to tame it because it is More likly That they will drown in Rivers

Good luck survivor !!!

found 2 of these I think I am real lucky cause im typing this from mobile

The people fighting about taming it normally or using the grapple method:

Dodo arrow: Amateurs.

the only one I found was north of the blue obelisk

Many pepole are saying get a bird and grapple it and make it chase the argi while taming. If your in single player then you can get a tapojira get its saddle go to the back seet of the saddle and knock it out that way instead

Get a grappling hook and a flyer. Fly close enough to the quetzal, jump-off and shoot it with the hook then shoot it with any tranquilizing ammo you have (wait 5 seconds between each shot)

Also make sure your flyer is following you so when the quetzal gets knocked out you can hook onto him.

I’ve found quetzals around the river dividing the volcano from the redwoods and the island next to the red obliesk. But you have to go to a certain height to get them to spawn

Using a Griffin to tame is very easy I found because the Griffin's are like little helicopters you can fly around it while shooting the Quetzal with a bow and tranq arrows. And then if you're too high up when the Quetzal knocks out you can dive below and catch it a few times before it hits the ground
