What tapejara level do I need to tame a quetzal? Answer using numbers
DO NOT CRYOPOD IT WITH A PLATFORM SADDLE IT DESTROYS YOUR WHOLE BASE AND ALL YOU WORK
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

I found one. I wasnβt prepared.
Up for me to tame one soon!
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.
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.
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.
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.
