What are tips for thylacoleo? Tips and strategies for thylacoleo in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Be careful when flying through the redwood, however if your flying mount has enough stamina, thylas don’t seem to be near the tops of the trees. Just be cautious when you take a stamina break.
If you have a tribemate on a Parasaur you can easily locate thylas, when you find one shoot it once to knock it off the tree and lead it back to a trap. From there it’s just tranq and tame.
As an Xbox player it took me 50 cooked meat and 30 narc to tame . I hate that everyone on here says it takes thousands . I WAS ON ARKPOC . - Holland
Here’s a tip how to tame it on early game: you need an argy, an small 2x2 trap, 2 walls high, shoot him with dart and it will go down, trap and knock him out, use cooked prime meat if cannot afford mutton. It has a huge levelling on hp and dmg, you can use it for few caves and create a best that can kill almost anyone, also it is really fast and mobile, with slow stamina drain and fall damage. Sadly it’s too big for most caves, but you can take it there with cryopod.
I died 12 in a row trying to tame one I hate this thing
I read that you can not get knocked off a quetz by these jerks but it is wrong!!!! I have been knocked off a pteradon, 2 argents, and 1 quetz! Be Warned!
Just one other demon in the redwoods
If you’re skilled enough, and have a decent amount of health or skill… you can lure a thylacoleo into a gate trap. Place down 3 dino gates with 2 doors and only enough room for you to get through, then locate the tree kittens and draw their attention, get it in the gate and close the gate, then you can more easily knock it out without risk of it escaping before you do.
Works best where they spawn on the ground like in the snowy mountains on The Island.
This might not be efficient or easy but it’s fun XD
If you manage to tame one of these they are an awesome ground mount. They can climb sheer cliffs in a heart beat and have a 3 story vertical leap. They are fast, and durable. Mine is lvl 82 at the moment. I killed a lvl 14 alpha carno and only lost a third of my health. I feel safe on this guy and he can take me anywhere. Just look out for them in the redwoods. They are very tough to tame without a trap. One you have one they will become one of your favorites. They are great in the water too. Dump levels in health and damage.
This thing took forever to tame make sure you are ready to take your time with this one
Very cool that they can climb almost anything in ark, can run away and escape sudden death.
I tame them by riding a rex (on passive) through the redwoods with an argy following.
The thylas chase the argy. I shoot thyla. Follow on Rex if Thyla runs.
Prefer cooked meat,don’t use raw meat,better cook it
Ok ok this is nothing important but why do
Mobile players want thylas to be added like do they not know wut these do? Sorry again
Was flying over the redwoods with my argie flew down and got massacred by one of these guys. I turned off my console without saving. The next time I booted up the game I was like 1000 metres above the redwoods my argie the same height but way too far from me, so I fell to my death. Took me like an hour to get my argie back.
They have to drop 200 food before eating. But they don't require much to eat before tamed.
