Encountering Tips

How do I kill a thylacoleo? thylacoleo encountering and battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
One of the best dinos in the game! They are really hard to tame but once you get one of these that’s a high level you will be able to do anything!
Drag a dead Salmon or Coel under a big redwood tree, wait for Thylo to climb down, and them ambush it with clubs
I'm a cat person, i spend a morning by a having a walk on nearby forest, and my cats would happily jump down, hugging my face, after some rolling, i gave them some shotgun shots to their face while they broken my 400% flak armor, which cost lot of metal to fix.
Only a cat person would understand how it was a totally normal, typical morning of living with cats.
You don't find them......They find you...
They’ll hit you through your shield when you’re pinned so don’t even bother putting it up. Your best bet which has worked wonders for me is immediately switching to your machete and start swinging the moment you get knocked out of your flyer
If youre playing crystal isles, obviously the redwood desert is a spawn but so is the desert just southeast of the heir caverns, ive seen 3 145s there so cant be too rare
If you get jumped by one of these gamers, a pump action shotgun will save your ass.
They hid in the trees..... They were everywhere....
Do not stroke this kity or u deadsy
If you want to escape this you can. Cuz these things fly these things can knock you off your dinos and then they literally violate them
If you ever go to the redwood Forest, watch out for these things they fly
Tamed a high level while on a stego. Just keep your stego in hardened plate mode feel free to roam around the redwoods without worrying about microraptors and thylas knocking you off. Yeah stegos are so slow but keeps you safe.
DONT I REPEAT DONT FLY IN THE REDWOODS thylas give you a deadly hug when encountered i once got killed 2 times by these dudes there was 2 off them i was running around bored and i got jumped by 2 and when i tried to get my loot back i got jumped again.
They don't seem to be in the trees in fjordur so don't worry about them. They wander around the forest floor. Could be a bug who knows. Redwoods located NE corner of the map.
So I just took my pteranodon on a trip around the island and went to the redwoods for funzies and didn’t see a single one of these dudes (granted I flew high just in case and was being paranoid) but uh, props to me (please note that I did a ton of research before flying and that this was my first time lol)
This thing is the reason I lost all of my gear including my spino if you’re in the redwoods Always be aware he will dismount you and kill you in seconds so be ready to shoot as soon as he grabs you
I would like to see this in ark mobile
Ok so here’s how you tame them find one that’s on a tree but don’t get too close find a rock to sit on shoot him and he will jump off the tree but won’t be able to attack you then just tranq him out and put spikes around him once he’s out hope this helps
They were an australian marsupial, known as the marsupial lion. thylacoleo carbides is scientific name
Do not think that you're safe from them if you're not flying. They will still jump on you even if you're on land. So just don't walk too next to the big trees and you'll be fine
Also always bring some friends or dinos with u when going to redwood just in case lol
