How I tamed a Quetzal is by using a Tapejara and while on the passenger seat set it to attack the Quetz and fire tranqs at it also, when its knocked out bring a parachute with you because you can't change to driver side while in passenger.
So... I figured out the exact spots for the spawns 👍 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 “back spike” 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.
In order to solo tame a quetz, you could use an argentavis and a pulmiscorpius. Just pick up the pulmiscorpius, and do whistle attack target while looking at the quetz, your pulmiscorpius should start attacking the quetz, raising it's torpidity until it is knocked out.
Rare flowers, egg aggros, etc. don’t work anymore, they never aggro while they are wild, they only flee and they are pretty damn quick, but once you tame them, they are literal flying snails
These boys can be netted making taming easier.
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.
Always keep a equus and lasso while taming a quetzal.
If your unlucky enough, the quetz will knock out over water which normally would ruin your day but if you lasso a knocked quetzal you can drag it out of the water to safety.
If you have a snow owl you can freeze it so it falls and then put gates around it
If you have Rhynio, you can shoot Quetzal and knocked out it while riding Rhynio.
Or drop some honey to lure Quetzal to the land and then set trap.
They have the 50 50 glitch were they fly to 50 50 on the map so the always fly there so that’s we’re you should make a trap or kill it and revive it at your base. Up so people can see
Low levels seem to spawn neared red obbi on the island. If you're looking for one, head over there
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
I played on a server and my tribe had a Quetz, so we decided to have some fun by opening a skydiving business. We slapped some chairs on the platform and a box full of parachutes, then one person would drive, the others would sit in chairs, and everybody would take a parachute. Then we’d fly up super high, have the quetz on follow, and all jump off. It’s a lot of fun, try it
Qetals are ALIENS! creatures. They are very rare, but the main thing is that they never go down, unless you made one unconces. They even spawn on the air, but how do they grow up and be not hungry, thirsty, but healthy. If they can survive up there they arn't normal creatures. They have to be a different complex organisms. UP for more documentaries.
How to tame a quetzal, solo, on mobile, with a pteranodon:
1. Ride your fastest mount, and kill a quetzal. Leave the body, and let it fall to the ground
2. Collect the creature implant from the dead body
3. Create a revival platform
4. Surround revival platform with metal foundations, and on those metal foundations, put a three-wall high metal fence (using the metal door frames). Cover the whole thing with metal roofing.
5. Revive the wild quetzal. It can’t escape, so just knock it out with darts or poisons arrows etc
You now have a quetzal
Use a tape jars and a tribe mate use a net after attacking it into a safe area go down and trank it in the head then feed exceptional kibble congratulations you have a flying fortress
Went on Ragnarok to find a griffin. Instead saw a 180 tek quetzal. Long story short I now have a max level quetzal named Doom.
Quetzals spawn at the obelisks often, same goes with the red woods
