I would love to know how you guys find all of these quetzals, I live right next to the red obelisk and havent found one near yet .-.

I have found quetzals all over the map besides red obilisk.

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

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”

I think I found the way to actually get them to spawn so people are saying they spawn near the red obb almost every time I have tried to kill multiple creatures there a bunch of times and still no quetzel but I think I found the solution because I heard somebody say that there is a bug where they will only fly towards the redwoods so I think that they fly to the redwoods and I remember seeing one in the redwoods and disappearing never seeing it again but it's probably somewhere in the dense part of the redwoods so you need to do a Dino wipe if you cannot find one And then check the red obelisk (btw I have not tried this yet But it might be the solution) (oh and note I think 1-2 can exist on the map at a time and that's why you see another one here and there) (Another note I play on ark survival evolved for the Nintendo switch And I am playing on The Island) good luck:)

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.

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

I’m a lvl 84 and I’ve only seen these guys about 7 times. I was on my Argy, higher than the tallest redwood tree and I seen them. Yes they like to fly high and they have been watching you tame that lvl 45 dilo.

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

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

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

To the guy who said quetzals were ailens and even spawned in the air, there is a like 0.1 second period where they spawn into the land and are on the ground before starting to fly.

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.

Decent chance for a Tek variant to spawn near the red obelisk, albeit a low level, still useful nonetheless

It's been 4 days since I wistle my argie (lvl 163) to attack that *#$;$\ cause I was thinking I shooted it whit my grappler to try and tame the quetzal but it juste flew away whitout me and since then i haven't seen him anywhere...

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

If your on ark mobile like me you really need to wait untill you complete hunt argentavis or argie pursuit. All you need to do is kill 8 argies...

I thought the reward would be something like a gun blueprint but it was a quetzal or quetz saddle (journeyman) so anyways you might want to have a tape to tame it idk, have a good day!

You can find these things near the red woods,mountains, and red obilisk in ark ascended

Make sure to bring a soothing balm helps a lot
