Encountering Tips

How do I kill a thylacoleo? thylacoleo battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
They have sneak level 100. DONT GO IN THE RED FORREST
They can and will knock you off your tame even if youre on a ground dino(or at the very least a Barry)
You can still melee when pinned so bring decent armor and a good melee weapon when in the redwoods
I was set off on a mission to find Bigfoot with my level 83 Argy I had, as I was soaring through the redwood forest BAM 2 of these beasts jumped at me both level 140 and ripped me off of Argy and I couldn’t tell you how much it scared me but luckily my double barrel and Argy could kill them both leaving me one shot. So yeah DONT FLY IN REDWOODS
If you want any chance of surviving, always bring a sword and some decent armour (maybe 2 pairs) when going through the redwoods.
Just don't give them a hug and you will be fine.
Be carful when exploring redwoods expecally when on a bird I've got jumped and we fell in the waterand I had a mini heart attack after encountering one of these so I'm basically scared to go in redwoods with one of these attacking me and falling in the middle of carnos or rexs and getting my face eating alive just saying keep your darn eyes out people they can come out of nowhere.
Do not go near the redwoods on a flier without good armour and a nice melee otherwise you will get destroyed by a thylacoleo
Tree yaay AH MY TAME giga died to thylacoleo REVENGE TRANQ TRANQ oh knocked out yay
FYI
Thyla's are fairly easy to find/hunt/track ...
They are usually found in redwood and/or desert regions. In the redwoods they are o ly on the largest trees up about 1/2-3/4 up between the ground and the first branches. There has to be dense underbrush and boulders in the immediate area, and lastly (but most importantly) if the area is plagued with Carno's and Terror Birds .... start looking UP
I managed to tame one stuck in a fallen tree on Scorched Earth..
Argys can pick them up now try it out
You CAN pick it up with Argentavis idk y it says you cant but you can
To survive the encounter, rub glue, vegimite and toothpaste into hair and glue forks to ears trust me it works ;)
Whenever I fly in the redwoods, I always have my flyer set to follow me and I have my strongest pile ready in my hotbar in case one of these guys rips me off my bird
Ran into one while walking the redwoods on my Rex. It just walked around my Rex's feet ignoring us completely. Until, that is, I unseated myself. As soon as I was standing on my Rex's back it took notice. I ended up standing out on my Rex's tail and tranqing it. So apparently like titanboa's they don't aggro on Rex's.
Need to add this on mobile the red woods arent the same without them i want the redwoods to have a callenge i went there and i barely got scratched
Who agrees that we need these on mobile
I haven’t seen one yet, but they should be in Gen 2 on the ground. I’ve seen a YouTuber or two encounter one. Apparently they will be found on the ground like in Rag. Though I am curious if they do their perching on the side of cliffs instead of the Redwoods.
Once I got jumped by one of these guys but I was riding my thylacolyo so it saved me
