ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Super deadly mounts I have two of them. They’re pretty easy to tame compared to how many times you die to them. You just have to build a trap and you can leave gaps between each wall of the trap because they can’t fit through it, which makes it easier for you to shoot them down with train Trank arrows also it only takes 4 to 5 arrows and if you feed them cooked prime meat, you only need five the best way to do. It is to lower them in the trap and they’ll try to break it but they’ll stick their heads through an accident because they can get that through and then they don’t actually damage the trap and you can reuse it over and over. Make sure to have a bell moth Dino gate or a normal one either one works because they’re not that big but once you tame them, they will be the best one in the game. They can kill an Alpha raptor, no problem. Also, if you want to escape them in amount just fly above the trees and if you’re in the trees, minimum height would be 2/3 of the way up because they can’t climb the rest of the way but when you tame them, they can.

"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.
They prefer cooked meat over raw. Don't waste your precious raw mutton, better cook it, as it tames faster and with higher efficiency.
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
Trust me..ALWAYS AMKE A TRAP AND BRING NARCOS)only if it’s decently high level BUT BRING A TRAP)
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.
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!
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.
Rip cole the thylacoleo u live god life 🙏 💔
