Is it just me who is really unlucky finding any quetzals
Searched the entire map 4 times over and still no quetzal
More Quetzal Encountering Tips
Quetz usually spawn at red obelisk, if you don't see one wait a few minutes for t to spawn. If you are looking for a high level kill the lower level one so it another can respawn
DO NOT CRYOPOD IT WITH A PLATFORM SADDLE IT DESTROYS YOUR WHOLE BASE AND ALL YOU WORK
I have been looking one for days and when I go to the red obby I find 2 in less then 10 mins so go there and up this
I found one. I wasnβt prepared.
Up for me to tame one soon!
Where these bois spawn
1) The Red Obelisk and to the left near that Island π₯
2) The Green Obelisk and near the herbivore Island areaπ©
3) Sometimes the snow mountains π
NOTE: The red Obelisk is where you will most π

I dared follow it and waited for it to come down and rest. Unfortunately, quetzals seem to fly forever. So guys, whoever is thinking of doing the same thing, don't. You'll just waste your time.
So... I figured out the exact spots for the spawns π The primary spot is just behind the red obelisk on the thin little strip of land near the southern island. (I almost always see one spawn there) I also find them frequently spawning around the βback spikeβ of the red obelisk. You will almost always find a quetz around these two places. (At least on mobile) If you want a high level, just kill the one that spawns at these two places and a new one will always respawn back at those two places. This technique worked for me.
So i saw this guy again and managed to knock it down but it landed on the ocean so i hurriedly tried to spawn my equus, buuut i noticed it a tad bit too late that there were 3 rex eating 3 brontos right next to it, and the rex turned its attention to the quetzal and ate it....
i canceled my equus and called my theriz and massacred the rex and brontos.
god i hate ark.
Quetzals spawn at the obelisks often, same goes with the red woods
For 'The Center' map the common spawn locations tend to be near any obelisk, as well as around 55,45 or cruising around the entirety of Jungle South. It's worth checking around lava island too.
