Tips & Strategies
If you are currently in midair with a thyla (it dismounted you from your mount) and you are trying to kill the thyla before you land on the ground and the thyla starts attacking you, equip a melee weapon, look up and start swinging as your melee attacks will start hitting the thylas head dealing 1.5x damage
If you don't look up or move your camera in any other direction, your melee attacks will hit nothing as the only direction you can move your camera while midair with a thyla is up or down and ironically the only hitbox you can reach while in that state is the thylas head
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.
Found out the hard way that these ARE in Ultimate Mobile Edition... flying will not save you, they cling high up on trees. Keep turrets on your platform base and avoid redwoods at night, don't make the mistake I did
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.
It's basically the Randy Orton of Ark.
It just RKOS's you outta nowhere...
These cats always perfectly land on your back.
(We love you Cole! :D)
You can use a snow owl's heat vision ablitiy to see thylas in trees!
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
Wanna find one? Simply mind your own business flying through the redwoods and they'll find you! Just make sure you can take some fall damage and that your tame is set to passive so it doesnt kill the thyla. (I know this seems like a joke but this is legit the only way I know how to find them.)
Just tame a rhyniognatha way better then argentavis and flys super fast so thylacoleos canβt rip you off
