Encountering Tips

How do I kill a thylacoleo? thylacoleo battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
I was flying with my petradon (Petra near the ground, out of nowhere he jumped at me killed me killed Petra
Tip: don't fly near the ground
I was flying high and it mounted me
They will knock u off ur flyer I learnt this the hard way
If you have a large dinosaur your riding it can't knock you off
EZ way to find them on Lost Island. Fly to the green obelisk then sight a little round island on desert shore, fly straight for that island then sight large black jutting rock formations. They can be found near those formations and along the desert boundary on the right and behind the jutts. I took a wyvern and built a low level trap, picked up a 140 and a 130 yday. Bring cryopods for easy transport..
These things are scary as heck they made me terrified to even enter the redwoods when i started playing ark
Just kicked my whole life out of my body. Didn’t even know these existed. Do not fly in the redwoods apparently.
These bad boys can rip you off many mounts, but not wyverns (tested!), contrary to some peoples' unfounded beliefs :) so don't fret, wyvern lords!
My brother calls them thylacalicos. ALSO
In crystal isles they wander around the entrance to the Griffin canyon and the areas around there.
Be careful flying through redwood these things can jump and like hugs
Look out for them when traveling through the redwood forest, they sometimes spawn on trees and can jump, they dismount you from the dino and are dangerous to fight alone. Got dismounted by one from my argent, managed to survive but got separated from tje bird, took me 30 min to find it.
Pray that you won’t run into a thylacoleo with a taradatol
These are in the snowy biome on Ragnarok -Freaky Keeky
Lost my Wyvern to one of these was flying in the redwoods then BAM I’m knocked off my wyvern I got murdered then checked chat and my wyvern died too
-_-
I found out a while ago flying above them isn’t safe I don’t know if it’s a glitch but two pounced up at me and ripped my off my argent but when I went back with my wyvern another one pounced at me and just bounced off so if you have one use a wyvern if you don’t just accept the fact you will die over and over again but it’s worth it I have 8 thylas I got a new one just today they are in my opinion the best all round mount the only thing I think that comes close to being as good as a thylacoleo is a griffin
On ragnarrok get it in desert island redwoods is no fun. Carry it to safety with youre argentavis
Basically the thing that makes the redwoods dangerous
But i was nooo where near the dumb tree. Most dumbest vertical leap i ever saw.
Pikes will save your life. Best chance against a pouncer if they jump you.
You can’t even run from these things.
