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

So how to find this animal It’s usually near the red beacon Like this

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

I Was on a Tapejara and somehow knocked one when I was on lvl57 and that fool quetzal fell and landed in front of a group of allosaurs. That was the first and last quetzal I found in my game😭.... Now search continues but no luck..... #RIPMe

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

If you frequent the redwoods on ragnarok you can sometimes find them upriver trapped around the edge of the southern lake cliffs. Just so people can find the easier knockout location for taming.

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

So let me tell you a little story so I had a quest telling me to tame a quetzal
And I was a good level for the saddle but boy was I not thinking I had argent with me and my grapple and was ready but the quetzal I was taming got away and then my argent was stuck in the air he could follow because I had him not to follow me and then I wanted to come back for him/or her I don’t remember but when I came back........it was gone

I find that the best way to encounter these beings is by not having the equipment or dinosaurs to knock it. The level is determined by distance from your base/supplies (easier to get supplies=lower level).

Don't bother finding it. It finds you lol. If you even try to find it then you just wasted time if you didn't find it cuz ARK is pretty much weird. If you found a quetz unprepared then request a flying dino(with decent damage or any flying dino if you really want the quetz) then chase the quetz and kill it then get its implant. After getting the implant then get yourself spawn pod(?) Or spawn it at an obelisk BUT REMEMBER! MAKE A TAMING PEN AROUND THE OBELISK OR WHERE YOU'RE MAKING THE SPAWN POD(?). also while you're doing this, get some amber(for mobile)! Trust me you have alot of time getting amber since the implant expires for about 2.5 days(?)

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.

Low levels seem to spawn neared red obbi on the island. If you're looking for one, head over there

There is usually at least one quetz roaming around the red obelisk and craggs Island. Go over there and kill any and all quetzals that aren't of your liking, and then fly to above the nearby swamp or The end of the red lake (or further). Then fly back and be sure to check above the beach area between craggs and the obelisk which is separated to craggs by a thin water path. If no quetzal has spawned there then look around and west of the obelisk. If no quetzal has been found in either area then try flying further away or waiting 10 sec before going back. This method works especially well on evolution event which is when I've mostly tried it. Good luck!

If you tame this cooked fish meat your a god and deserve a medal

This is not a tip it is a question. On the island other than the red obelisk where can I find them bc I can't find any at the red obelisk

On ragnarok they spawn in the lava and snow areas mainly around 41.0 51.0

Personally I find the highest levels to be spawning in between half burnt and north tropical (center) and near the snow mountains (island)

I was using a rocket launcher in the redwoods and I found one but I accidentally blew it up😔😔😔😔

I've found all mine at the volcano and redwoods on the island
