They prefer cooked meat over raw. Don't waste your precious raw mutton, better cook it, as it tames faster and with higher efficiency.

"The Day ARK Punished Me for Wanting a High level Thylacoleo"

I don’t even know where to start, but I’m writing this so no one else has to go through what I did.

I spent hours searching the Redwoods for a Thylacoleo.

Not exaggerating 3 hours straight, nothing.

So I did what any sane ARK player would do: I stopped hunting and prepared properly.

I built:

a trap

campfires

a preserving bin

a bed

I even cooked around 50 prime meat on campfires and stored it in the preserving bin, just so I wouldn’t lose effectiveness when the tame finally happened.

To make it even safer, I tamed a Parasaur and set it on turret mode and carried it with argy so that I could find a thyla.

Everything was ready so that when I found a Thyla, nothing could go wrong.

Then I searched again.

2 more hours. Nothing.

At this point I was frustrated, so I brought my already-tamed Thyla and started clearing the Redwoods, killing everything to force respawns. I did this for another 2 hours.

That’s when something started killing me on the ground.

I turned around…

A level 150 Thylacoleo

Perfect colors

3920 HP

Just randomly walking on the ground like it wanted to mock me.

I somehow survived, dragged it toward my trap, but realized I needed my Argentavis to pick it properly. So I parked my tamed Thyla far away and went back with my Argy.

Big mistake.

The wild Thyla almost killed my Argy level 250, around 10k HP, nearly died multiple times. I spent one full hour trying to:

pick it up

save my Argy

reposition the Thyla

not die

Finally, finally, it was almost inside the trap.

Then a few Raptors spawned.

They aggroed my tamed Thyla.

Before I could react, my own Thylacoleo attacked the wild one.

I tried everything:

whistling passive

picking up dinos

separating them

Nothing worked.

My tamed Thyla killed the perfect level 150 Thylacoleo.

After hours of searching, preparing, cooking prime meat, setting up alarms, and fighting the game itself it died by my own hand without me touching it.

I rage quit.

I uninstalled the game.

If you’re reading this:

Never bring a tamed Thylacoleo while hunting a wild one.

ARK will find a way to punish you.

Learn from my pain.

pro tip: if you can't find a thyla but are too afraid to risk your flier, just park the bird at a safe spot, give it all your stuff, plop down a sleeping bag and run naked through the woods until you get assaulted by the flying murder marsupial. ezpz

Yall this ain’t a kitten it’s a koala on steroids

I was upset the app doesn't have it listed in Fjördur, but Thylas are actually on the map. Let's try to get it updated!

Set a parasaur on turret mode and fly over redwoods carrying it with a flyer. Any of these things will get marked.

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.

Once you find the desired Thylacoleo, youre gonna build a 2×2×2 trap (a boy with 2 high walls) made from stone doorways. Then, let the thylacoleo pounce on you (wear armor, otherwise youre dead), punch it with fists, so you dont damage it. Once its not pounced on you, get on an argentavis, pick it up, carry it into the trap. From there, knock it out. You should use a crossbow and tranq arrow minimum. But a longneck and tranq darts are better. Beware! Once unconscious, the creature loses torpor fast, so if its a high level, make sure you feed it narcotics, so it stays asleep. Raw prime meat or extraordinary kibble is what you should use to tame it. You get the saddle at level 51, costs 18 engram points, and you need 290 hide, 155 fiber, and 20 metal ingot. These creatures are very good for caves. They deal bleed damage, meaning alongside with normal damage, the bitten creature loses 5% of its health in the matter of a few seconds. I hope this answers most of your questions about the Thylacoleo. Good luck taming, Survivors!

Rip cole the thylacoleo u live god life 🙏 💔
