I tried trapping one of these guys and every time I got them in the trap, it somehow got out. Maybe I made the trap wrong. I really wanted one of these big cats, then I got an idea! I used the Beelzebufo to knock it out! I put cooked prime meat in its inventory, and a LOT of narcotics. And BOOM!

How I tamed two of these bad boys (actually one after another: one female and one male) is that I just encountered them running after some prey, got on high ground with an argentavis and shot one with tranq darts and tranq arrows; it went quickly unconscious but its torpor was draining pretty fast so I had to feed it narcotics (around 30 for an 8 lvl) or even bio toxin; the taming process was stupidly long for both of them, I used a lot of raw prime meat and regular raw meat but apparently they prefer cooked meat from what I've heard?

As I'm writing this, Thylacoleos are probably my favorite tames because of their versatility. I tried to somehow climb a huge redwood tree once I rode this beast and oh boy, it works so good.

They can jump way farther than you think from their perch in a tree. Thought I could land near one to try and net it and tame but nope lol. Luckily you can fight back after they have you in their tackle hold, IF you don’t panic and sit there for them to shred you XoX

Enjoy

If you’re wondering whether or not to tame them. Do it. Great for everything from pvp to caving tame a thyla.

If you’re near any thick trees, and can’t afford to lose your tame or inventory, just fly high above them. They’re really annoying when you’re not expecting them, but if you’re looking you can see them in the trees. You can always land your mount, shoot it with a crossbow, then kill with mount or narc it.

super easy to tame on scorched earth, im a dumbass and still managed to get two of them :) just make sure you have lots of narcotic, they wake up really fast

NEVER EVER land a fliers on the ground

Fly OVER the big trees or else you get the punishment

If you want to build a trap build it with doorframes. They can’t climb up them.

This is why you should wear good armor and bring a good sword.

If you're having trouble taming one of these beasts, go with a Rhyognatha; they can't dismount and you can shoot them from the Rhyognatha.

I got lucky flying through red woods and found a red one on the ground attacking an argy. While it was distracted, I shot it with tranc arrows and knocked it unconscious. I obviously named her Red. BEST TAME EVER!!!

These are very rare in the island and can only be found on redwood forest

They are not as scary as they seem. They will always stand out on the low-middle part of the tree without leaves. Just be careful if you're moving through any packed tree clusters because it could be waiting just out of view on the other side, circle the area at a distance if you want to be absolutely sure. I've played since 2017 and only ever been dismounted once. If anything, their aggro range when you're on foot is pretty far

The most safe way to tame thylas is go to crystals isles scorched earth and ragnarock where the spawn in the desert it makes it sooo much easier because they can’t rip you of your saddle I just moved to ragnarock from crystal isles today. So far on ragnarock I have tamed 5 in the space of about 4-5 hours yesterday I tamed two in the space of about 7 hours (on crystal isles) the day before I tamed 1 in the space of 9 hours so I got 8 in three days and the best plase to go for high level thylas in the savanna on ragnarock the ones I tamed today were all 130+ they are all great my best I got yesterday I named him Garfield he is 223 he has 10000 hp 664 melee 2000 stamina and is just a overall weapon I really need to get a better saddle because he is the best so he deserves the best I hope everyone finds there dream thyla like I did and I hope you enjoy the as much as I do:)

I thought it would be a good caver. Turns out it's bigger than the bear and can't fit even volcano cave

Usually spawn on the swamp side of the redwood is mainly where I see them

Look out for them when traveling through the redwood forest, they sometimes spawn on trees and can jump, they dismount you from the dino and are dangerous to fight alone. Got dismounted by one from my argent, managed to survive but got separated from tje bird, took me 30 min to find it.

Bait them out by floating across the redwoods on an archa, then get them stuck and start shooting.

Tame a creature that u can shoot of the back slowly walk through the redwoods shoot is of the tree with tranquiler dart don’t use tranquil arrow you can kill it easily and set up a trap!!!!
