Best pvp mount EVER. Better than gigas and rex's because they are easier to tame and have more stamina. It's only real threats while riding it in the wild are microraptors, gigas, and other players on gigas and thylas. It can kill almost anything it finds, and the things it can't kill, it can outrun EASILY.

Wonderful mount to grab, the best part is the climbing cliffs. Run right up to them and hit and hold the jump button, if you can do it you can climb the mountains. They also have a bleed effect that helps when dealing with large predators or high health dinos.

Yes, they are evil jump and pin guys sometimes they carry you off for a distance, best defence is to always be prepared with a strong spear on hand, when they stun wait till the timer is done and then jab away. I find an easy tame method, hit em from extreme range with a really strong long rifle and electrolized tranq darts or regulars. Keep mounted on a decent health tame and keep shooting till it goes down.

Oh and after taming, you can sit on them and fire your rifle while mounted, so they are great for taming more of their own kind.

If you can't find these guys easily, I recommend using a Snow Owl. Flying high in the redwood, and with the Owl vision you can spot every creature in there from far away. If you don't have the Extinction DLC to tame Owls, just buy one from a player of your server, or use a command to spawn them.

They’re incredibly useful for a lot of things. Their bleeding effect is very good to counter soakers because it deals percentage damage, so you can kill other tribe soakers with 20 bites regardless of their health if you bite them once every 5 seconds (You can use it to easily kill titanosaur too: bite it 19 times, then finish it with weapons for big exp). They can also climb walls, so they’re very strong for cave dungeons and are enough bulky to kill stuff. They can scare dinos with their roar and if you clim a tree u can perform their signature attack that blocks a small creature to the ground for 8 seconds, which is quite good for ambushes in the redwood to other players.

So. Taming a thylacoleo isnt really easy. Today was the first time i have tamed a thylacoleo and i must say, trying to find it is a pain. I used my quetzal and a parasaur called "bait" on turret mode to find him. If you cant use a parasaur try just going around the waters near redwoods and try to spot 1. Note: Better use a quetzal if you have one, dino's cant dmg you while holding them with quetzal. Find a thyla, shoot it with a single arrow and when ut falls go and grab it. Carry it into a cage or tranq it till it falls unconcious. You will need around 40-60 cooked meat depending on lvl (i am on 0.2 difficulty). Around 20-40 tranq arrows and at least 200 narcotics. When it falls asleep put in the food od choice and narcotics and wait for it to wake up. It takes about nearly an hour to tame. I hope this helps.It's torpor falls down really quickly so watch out for that. If you need help ask. My name is WakeyJakey
