Encountering Tips

How do I kill a thylacoleo? thylacoleo battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
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
Never fly close on bread the trees bc these things cap here harder than bush campers in fortnite
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.
Thylo is in Fjordur! Be aware!
You can't even run from these. Just accept your quick and painful death.
Want to find one?? I'm affraid to tell you that he's gonna find you first, and when that happens say goodbye to yourself and your dinos
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
these are on fjord, please update
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.)
It's basically the Randy Orton of Ark.
It just RKOS's you outta nowhere...
DON’T FLY THROUGH THE REDWOODS is not a a joke. I was a fool and thought: ‘hey, if I look around for them I can fly through the forest on my argentavis without getting ambushed by a thyla, right?’. Wrong. You can’t see the kinkajou bears coming, my friend. You’re feeling like master of the forest until a furry torpedo yeets you off your mount at Mach Jesus. I speak from experience. I’ve been made into a piece of bacon by these guys on more than one occasion. Just use a rex.
These cats always perfectly land on your back.
Today I learned they can and will happily pop you off your Giga and snack on you face while the Giga watches.
To pay your respects to Daniel click up button😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥 and for the one who lost the most enjoy the mini thylacoleo 🐯
They do a bleed now, be careful!
Ah, yes, the flying sabretooths of Ark. Be prepared to be jumpscared by a godd**n kangasuchutoothleo while peacefully walking through the woods.
Hardened plate: Reduced damage, prevents dismount.
Sharpened plate: Armor pen, prevents dismount.
Heavy plate: Slows, prevents dismount.
Notice a theme here? Use a Stego and you are immune to being pounced. Can also shoot from stego's back. Enjoy your revenge.
Fun fact: Thylacoleos were marsupials, meaning they had a pouch, kind of like a kangaroo!
I just found that these were not in mobile and I am mad
If you wanna find them easily just tame a parasaur and use an arge to carry it into the red woods. Have the parasaur on turret mode so it can tell you where the thyla is. It may take a while but I see this as the safest way to find them. You just have to move slowly through.
