They do spawn at red obelisk but takes a lot of time and you need to be flying to see them at all

Beware if you lead one far from its spawn point and knock it out, don’t fly too far away. I knocked out a level 140 on one of the glaciers after luring it down from the snow mountain with honey. After trapping, knocking it out, and taming it to 75%, I decided to make a quick run back to base. It was safe way out on the floating ice as nothing spawns out there but as soon as it left render, it despawned. I am sad, have been waiting forever to find a high level one. Now back to waiting because of my mistake.

I think massive metal farming on the island is way more efficient with a quetz rather than an argie. THIS IS ONLY FOR HIGH LEVELS. You can get a platform saddle for your quetz and load up a gang of ankys, fly over to a mountain, go through the ankys one by one, and when your done you can load the ankys up again and fly back to base.

The devs need to fix the glitch of it going towards the redwood for those who don’t know there is this glitch were normally if you try and tame or kill the quetzal it will obviously fly away as they are more flight than fight and they would just fly in any direction right? Well no with this glitch they go towards the redwoods and STAY in the redwoods plus by the time you reach the redwoods it would go unconscious which is obviously very bad because I had tried to tame 2 but they both kept go towards the redwoods one fell in water but got killed before I had even registered and the other on went on land but also got killed and now I’m trying to find another one wish me luck!

When I first saw this thing my mind said “that’s a big *ss bird”

Go parasailing to tame this.

1. Find target and jump of Argy.

2. Launch parachute.

3. Grapple hook to Argy.

4. Whistle "fly to” commands and start parasailing.

5. Tranq the target in the air.

I used the attach yourself to the argue method. It was my first time trying and wasn't hard at all. I like this method it's fun as heck to. But my quartz got eaten as soon as it landed 😆 ark............

If your on crystal isle and your soloing it here's a good trick I used, first tame yourself a moth get a couple of parachutes and grappling hooks and your preferred amo with weapon, once you found one you like fly next to the quetzel and hop off the moth and grabbling hook it (dont forget parachute incase) and whistle it to attack quetzel the moth doesnt do damage but instead will slow it down for it bit while you shoot at it from below. This helped me tame it without having to whistle passive, attack target repeatedly.

Hope this helps

They do spawn on extinction. But they also spawn at the same spot as corrupted wyverns so it’s not recommended to tame

If you knock out in water use a horse and a lasso and lasso the quetz and if this helps like so more people can see it

If you are looking to tame a Quetzal, you need a good lvl TapeJara and a buddy to shoot at the Quetz. I recommend using tranq darts because otherwise you will need a lot of arrows.

Be careful taming these, they have a glitch that makes them go to coordinates 50 50 when high torpor,

50 50 on the island is the redwoods,

50 50 on Ragnarok is murdersnow,

50 50 on the center I'm not totally sure,

50 50 on velguero is in the lake I think,

And 50 50 on extinction is the safest, in sanctuary city.

Quetzals spawn at red obelisk but you have to go about the same hight as the bottom of the obelisk

Heres how to get one to spawn.

1. Go to red obelisk.

2. Fly high on Tape.

3. Press Tidy Save, (Do not worry, your mounts are okay)

4.Wait for a few seconds, then go down and search the air high.

5. Next, you have a chance to see a Quetzal, randomly.

6. You might have to do this a few times.

7. Enjoy your Quetzal Experience.

Honey attracts all nearby creatures when dropped by selecting it in the hotbar, and since you can drop them while riding a creature you can use this to lure quetzals to the ground and trap them with dino gates.

On mobile If you do the Mission hunt Argentavis

You will get a quetzal saddle

Eu domai botando autdoors dentro do queria-lhe desativando a colisão de estruturas o impedindo de fugir

Well this is how I do it you can shoot on tapejaras so get one make a saddle crossbow with tranqs and shoot it up to 19-70 times

To the guy who was wondering if you could land on the back of a quetzal and take it, the answer is no you cannot, you'll just slip off, trust me, I tried

Quetz life is the best life. Living luxuriously now that I bagged my Q Wagon
