How do I kill a thylacoleo? thylacoleo battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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.
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.
NEVER EVER land a fliers on the ground
These don’t spawn in mobile. :)
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.
Fly OVER the big trees or else you get the punishment
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.
i live in the redwoods just have a good ape around to pound the fucker
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
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.
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.
Murder Mittens. That is all. These things will knock you off anything. Just stay aware.
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.
Usually find some in the redwoods. I would always die because I would always forget to CHECK THE TREES.
Fyi climb above the redwoods you will get tackled by this guy
This is why you should wear good armor and bring a good sword.
yo to the guys who say they hate the thyla
I'm sure he was as annoyed as you when he sees a tasty meal and gets you insted
These are very rare in the island and can only be found on redwood forest
My first encounter of this
I was going to my friends base through the redwoods with my wyvern he had gifted me. I flew a little too low and then a thylacoleo jumped on me and ripped me off my wyvern Venom. The thylacoleo murdered me. I asked my friend about Venom, she was okay. I took my ptera and flew to the spot. Not going to redwoods for a while. Scared the heck out of me.
