How do I kill a thylacoleo? thylacoleo encountering and battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Hey! Don’t wanna die?

Don’t fly below the big fat trees because they cling to a tree and will jump on you and push you of
One the best ground mounts in the game(in my opinion) especially with a fully imprinted one. There is little lake in the redwoods where two can spawn if they aren't any there just clear the area. Oh yeah, Purlovia can spawn there as well.
Thylacoleo can be found in the redwoods of the island. Be wary though they can lunge at you from the trees and dismount you from your tame so be alert.
They are not as scary as they seem. They will always stand out on the low-middle part of the tree without leaves. Just be careful if you're moving through any packed tree clusters because it could be waiting just out of view on the other side, circle the area at a distance if you want to be absolutely sure. I've played since 2017 and only ever been dismounted once. If anything, their aggro range when you're on foot is pretty far
They will Not only jump you Off Flyers , one ripped me of my own thyla!
Don't mistake these guys for beehives like i did. R.I.P Chris D'Elia, my favorite argent, and your mastercraft saddle.
Thylacoleos can be found in a redwoods area of the map that you are on. But if you are playing extinction they can be found in the wasteland or sometimes the desert.
i live in the redwoods just have a good ape around to pound the fucker
I was planning out my new base I was planning to build neiboring the swamp and redwoods. and well... curiosity killed the cat. if that thing kills my argy, I won't be the only thing curiosity kills.
Was coming back from volcano with 3 new argies and stopped for a minute to get stamina. We were right beside the redwoods and we’re about to leave when a thyla leaped off the tree far behind me and dismounted me. Luckily 3 argies and 2 pterodactyls were too much for it and it was killed easily. Also didn’t lose any dinos. That trip was hectic. We ended up on the opposite side of the map from our base and it too 45 minutes to get home from the volcano. Very dangerous, those redwoods.
NEVER EVER land a fliers on the ground
Murder Mittens. That is all. These things will knock you off anything. Just stay aware.
Fly OVER the big trees or else you get the punishment
They can jump way farther than you think from their perch in a tree. Thought I could land near one to try and net it and tame but nope lol. Luckily you can fight back after they have you in their tackle hold, IF you don’t panic and sit there for them to shred you XoX
Enjoy
The Thylacoleo is a relatively strong creature and with its new buff and does 5% damage with the bleed. Good all around creature for traveling and damage but not boss fights. From personal experience I have at thyla with an OP saddle and with utilizing the bleed have taken out several low level Giga’s on official. Depending on how you use it, it might become one of your favorite creatures.
Usually find some in the redwoods. I would always die because I would always forget to CHECK THE TREES.
If you’re near any thick trees, and can’t afford to lose your tame or inventory, just fly high above them. They’re really annoying when you’re not expecting them, but if you’re looking you can see them in the trees. You can always land your mount, shoot it with a crossbow, then kill with mount or narc it.
This is why you should wear good armor and bring a good sword.
These are very rare in the island and can only be found on redwood forest
