Something you can do if you dont wanna go through the pain of knocking it out of the sky is to kill it then respawn it at an obelisk or respawning platform and have a taming cage built around it(that's how I tamed most of my dinos😂)

I decided to do the strat where i grapel to my argentavis and make him aggro to the quetzal. I damn near hit the quetzal 100 times with darts and it wont get knocked out (lvl 95 qtz). SOMEONE PLZ HELPP

Use a tapejara to tame, Whistle it to follow and bang

I literally found it on my base lol

The best way to knock it out is too ride a griffin and take out your Tranq gun and shoot it in the head.

If you want to tame it or encounter it just remember not to build structure near red oblisk and it will spawan at red oblisk if you build structure or keep your dinos in range of 2km its ok it will spawn but be building and kepping all out of 2 km of red oblisk

*CREEPY* i finally knocked out a quetzal just now and i heard something creepy… i was on single player and i heard someone die…

The narcotics needed isn’t true bring extra just in case

My base is literally built on red obelisik but I haven't even encountered one :(

On Mobile, randomly encountered a lvl 280 by Red Obelisk. Chased down on my Argy with my Pteranodon set to attack. Between the two of them, was able to bring it down, get implant, and revive WAY easier than trying KO from a Tapejara.

They spawn near green ob on island. On ragnarok they spawn on the outskirts of Viking bay, as well as over the plains outside of the dragon trench. On valguero they spawn pretty much everywhere you can find 2 or more recessed in one spot, or wherever Gigas spawn.

I never saw one, but I want it so bad

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

If you cant find any at the red obelisk check the snowy mountainous areas

Quetzals will most likely spawn inbetween Craggs Island and the Red Obelisk, around 85,20, its spawn is just above the river that flows through the side of the island

These are rare. I haven't seen one since I saw one on my old multiplayer server - Roccky the one that has 0 luck

Quetzal is one of the most rare dinosaur in ark if see one. force to tame with rex kibble.

I fund it in a red woods... If you have a friend grapl on em on like a argentaves and blast that qwets

Well I saw the first ever quetzal that i have ever seen i just watch from afar with my tape with astonishment after irl days later I saw a second one I tried to tame one but I'm an idiot for not noticing that my crossbows was about to break

I’m waiting for one of these to spawn and I see something flying I’m so happy then I read: level 4 tapeajara male
