Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Thylacoleo in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

They're useful for escaping places and getting food but when you get a Megalania then these guys just get left behind

Also to all the mobile users, STOP ASKING, THEY'RE NOT ADDING THEM BECAUSE OF HOW COMPLEX THE CONTROLS FOR THE THYLA ARE

Best tame ever.stamina 500-can climb up trees and get a good laugh out of it and then you can get a good bite out of it for a while and then you have to go back to the gym and get a good workout in the morning so much fun

Build a stone trap that has 6 foundations or more with doorframes. They can’t climb doorframes so don’t use walls (I’m not sure if they can climb walls in the wild but just in case). Use an argent or something that can pick it up, drop it in the trap, knock it out with…

Shoot it out of its tree, then pick with argie and drop it into a trap/hole. Cook up some mutton beforehand.

Bred a slick navy blue and silver mutation.

Many surfaces are considered 'vertical' for it to climb, including the southern side of Volcano on The Island…

These Things are Awesome!! Be sure to Level their Damage , Stamina , Health. I got one with 1440 Stamina and it can run almost forever , it regenerates stamina Pretty fast , great fighter and when Heavily injured can escape easily

Thylas make amazing combat/travel mounts.

They have the stats of a spino which is ridiculous for a creature of this size, and then on top of that, they have many amazing traits which I keep discovering.

To name a few:

-They can run pretty fast.

-They can jump really high…

Although I have never done this, I think these big cats could be great for stealing dino eggs. Just stole a Rex egg? And the mama Rex is chasing you? Climb a redwood tree or a cliff!

Can be picked up by wyverns easily on SE near the mountains by Green obi. Be careful because they tend to climb the sheer cliff walls and pounce on unsuspecting metal farmers.

These guys are really good cave runners because of health stamina and damage, it can also climbe and if look down when your on a tree you can pounce on something like moose (quick tip for mobile players like me you need to press and hold the jump button to climb) also forgot to…

Just fly over the trees and only land in openings when going over redwoods. Learned this lesson the hard way but I only let it happen once!

You want to explore the red woods?

Tough

These guys obviously don’t want you to. Fortunately there is a way to avoid being ripped of your mount and ripped to shreds. Thylacoleos never attack Megatheriums. I was riding through the redwoods on my megatherium and I ran into…

If you're ever strolling through redwoods, make sure you're dinosaur is on aggressive so they can attack the Thyla. And if your emotionally attached to your shoulder mount like I was, make sure it's on passive flee to it can run away.
