ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
I never fly or walk into the redwoods because i lost a lot of loot and good tames to those beasts! I have found ways to avoid getting killed by these if you ever had to go to the redwoods :
-- wear a strong armor (flak works just great)
-- get a couple of strong tames or one strong tame (Giga, rex, therizino, etc) with you so that if you get ambushed by a thyla they'll kill it!
-- i would strongly recommend having a shotgun with high damage or any ascendant weapon that could kill the thyla in seconds
-- use stegos (they have the dismount prevention buff)
-- shooting the thylas with a net projectile could work (with a harpoon launcher)
-- increase your health so that you'll last longer when facing a thyla
i hope this helps you out, this also works with any other dismounting creatures (purlovias, kapros, microraptors, ect...)
More Thylacoleo Encountering Tips
The redwoods are now basically a no fly zone, I lost a quetz, and a pter to these b******s. They jump out of the tree, rip you off your mount, and then pin you and your mastercraft armor to the ground and murder you.
My hate for these guys is immeasurable
It all started when I played ark for the first time, I had managed to tame a high level tapejara and absolutely love him. I named him Barry and we set off on many adventure exploring the island. On day I was just flying through the redwoods and usual taunting the carnivores below me for not being able to touch me. BAM the thylacolia jumped out the trees and ripped me off Barry. Barry was whistled on nuetral and as he came down to aid me a desperately tried to get him on passive, but I was panicking, my screen shook as I was terrified as this was my first encounter of one. I tried to punch it but I inevitably died. I respawned and immediately got on my pteradon but just as I got on the saw the message in big red letters that Barry had fallen to the thylacoleo.
My Barry rest in peace
You can't even run from these. Just accept your quick and painful death.
(We love you Cole! :D)
You can use a snow owl's heat vision ablitiy to see thylas in trees!
I have a love-hate relationship with these dudes. One of the best tames there is but HORRID when wild. Do. Not. Fly. In. The. Redwoods. Period. Tame yourself a High level pair, male female, of thylas, breed them, and you’ll have yourself a taming buddy, fun when you get bored, can-tank-anything-all day (except wild gigas) pal for life. Watch the trees y'all. They’ve got eyes.
Keep in mind that ark will be ark, and tree kitties are fully capable of physics-defying homing levitation jumps onto flyers. Don’t fly low in the redwoods.
It's basically the Randy Orton of Ark.
It just RKOS's you outta nowhere...
These cats always perfectly land on your back.
They will jump on you and murder you even if you're on a fricking wyvern. You are not safe from them no matter what animal you have. Just accept your slow and tender death. I learned it the hard way lmao. Scared the fckng hell out of me
Just cut through red woods on RG for 20 feet, Level 120 made us pay for it.moral don’t fly in redwoods
