ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
You can find them very easily, in Scorched Earth. Just go near mountains, and look for the Thylacoleos with a Spyglass. Then, get up on a nearby rock. Try to shoot them, because unlike when you’re riding them, they don’t climb up to attack you. They will just stand at the bottom of the rock, so then you will be able to get many Tranq Arrows into him. (Crossbow is better than Bow.) After you tranq the Thylacoleo, you should place a Campfire and cook some meat, because Cooked Meat is actually better to use than Raw Meat. To craft a Thylacoleo Saddle, you need 20 Metal Bars, and around 250 Hide, and 200 Fiber, so you should keep an Argentavis with you, because they might Server very useful. Then, you just Tamed a Thylacoleo!
More Thylacoleo Encountering Tips
Don’t fly below the big fat trees because they cling to a tree and will jump on you and push you of
This cat jumps on you before killing you by surprise
Me flying casually through the redwoods : Can’t go 10 steps before getting torn to shreds by an overgrown kitty cat
Me actually trying to find a thyla to tame it : Can’t go go 3 times around every single tree but still can’t find any…
And that’s why I’m always looking for a thyla… it’s safer… I even made my base in the redwoods to better look for them, and almost never got jumped on…
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!
It's basically the Randy Orton of Ark.
It just RKOS's you outta nowhere...
I hate this thing. The fact is, I was around 50 meters away from it and they still managed to knock me off my ptero
These cats always perfectly land on your back.
