What are tips for thylacoleo? Tips and strategies for thylacoleo in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
You CAN pick it up with Argentavis idk y it says you cant but you can
Just let your quetz tank them or pull them into a trap, easy tame.
To survive the encounter, rub glue, vegimite and toothpaste into hair and glue forks to ears trust me it works ;)
Whenever I fly in the redwoods, I always have my flyer set to follow me and I have my strongest pile ready in my hotbar in case one of these guys rips me off my bird
Ran into one while walking the redwoods on my Rex. It just walked around my Rex's feet ignoring us completely. Until, that is, I unseated myself. As soon as I was standing on my Rex's back it took notice. I ended up standing out on my Rex's tail and tranqing it. So apparently like titanboa's they don't aggro on Rex's.
I discovered these today. I was flying happy whit my 2 dear pteros back home, and out of nowhere one came and knocked me down and killed me. Only 1 ptero died, so i came back on a saving mission, and Lost my Tapejara AND 2 pteros. I Just wanna say, dont fly on the redwoods.
These guys are all over the southern coast on Ragnarok, where the desert meets the sea. This is great as they don't have the redwood trees to hide in and they just kind of stroll about.
There's a large flat topped mountain that looks a bit like Tabletop Mountain. I build a taming pen on top of this mountain, then pick up a thylacoleo with an Argy or Wyvern. and drop it in the trap. Their torpor drains quickly, so pack loads of narcotics! They're fussy eaters too and prefer cooked meat, preferably cooked prime meat. Also as the trap is high up it's out of range of other predators and you easily select which thylo to tame with a spyglass. Piece of cake!
NOW I REMEMBER WHEN I FIRST GOT A WYVERN AND I WAS CLUELESS I FLY INTO RED WOODS AND BAAM IT HIT ME LIKE A TRUCK GOT KNOCKED OFF MY FLYER AND CHEWED INTO OBLIVION AND THEN MY FLYER GOT KILLED
Ima tell you, these things arent great to tame, but amazing creatures when tamed. You should build a 2x2 doorway trap, with ramps on one side. Shoot the thyla from far away while off your mount, hop back on, and if you're using an argy, pick the thyla, the dop it on. If on something else, just bait it. Used cooked meat to tame, and dont go near the trap unless it's torpor running. Enjoy your new climbing marsupial. (Tip is for the island)
Find them in desert or genesis 2 easier to tame there than redwoods. You can net gun them. They prefer cooked over raw meat.
FYI
Thyla's are fairly easy to find/hunt/track ...
They are usually found in redwood and/or desert regions. In the redwoods they are o ly on the largest trees up about 1/2-3/4 up between the ground and the first branches. There has to be dense underbrush and boulders in the immediate area, and lastly (but most importantly) if the area is plagued with Carno's and Terror Birds .... start looking UP
I managed to tame one stuck in a fallen tree on Scorched Earth..
These things are a must have and relatively easy to tame. Basically all you have to do is get a tapejara and have someone sitting on the back seat with a bunch of tranqs. It’s easiest to have a nice open space. Then just shoot it and slowly fly away from it until it’s knocked out. Then just feed it a couple of narcotics and prime meat and bam! The best tame you could ever ask for!

Need to add this on mobile the red woods arent the same without them i want the redwoods to have a callenge i went there and i barely got scratched
They can no longer damage wood so wooden pens will hold them or protect you
Who agrees that we need these on mobile
They can jump on players flying with wayverns. So if you don’t want to die or lose you wayvern on the red woods, keep flying above the trees.
GEN 2 - bottom of the map there are loads! Just kill the bad ones to help spawn better ones
