More Thylacoleo Taming & KO Tips
Set a parasaur on turret mode and fly over redwoods carrying it with a flyer. Any of these things will get marked.
You cannot be dismounted from a stego using hardened plate mode, and hardened plate makes your stego take 50% already, so a stego is a great way to tame your first one, or for going into the redwoods in general. Be aware, the bleed damage is not reduced.
If you are playing on Ragnarok, they are easier to tame in the desert biome, very common around lat 86, lon 63.
A good way I found to find these is to go to the redwoods riding a parasaur and walk into the forest spamming the parasaurβs ability. It will alert you to a thylacoleo in a tree if there is one, just make sure to look up at the trees near you if it finds enemies. Also would recommend bring a dino or two to protect you and your parasaur. Just signal them to passive when you find your thylacoleo. Hope this helps.
Try getting the health on your character up pretty high then fly around the redwoods (make sure the flyer is on passive) when a thylacoleo jumps at you start shooting at it as it usually can't run away. It doesn't take away too much health but I'd recommend to have a high amount just in case. This has always worked for me I'm not sure if it always works.
They prefer cooked meat over raw. Don't waste your precious raw mutton, better cook it, as it tames faster and with higher efficiency.
If you see one on a tree, shoot it so it will come down and pick it up with an Argentavis to bring it into a taming pen
1. Use Hunter Instinct from Snow Owl
2. Build a 2x2Box with 2 Walls (Windows) High and a Ramp to the side of your Thyla
3. Shoot it with 1 Arrow
4. Clean the Area and pull the Thyla to your Ramp (let it bite you 1-2 times to keep aggro)
5. Once jn Box it is a free tame
6. Cooked Meat Version is way better than any Raw Variant. Kibble is the best.
7. My 150ish Thyla is "Mike Tyson" :)
Fly around on an argie while holding a parasaur on turret mode, the parasaur will sense it but make sure the thylacoleo can't reach you by flying high above so it hits the parasaur rather than you.
