How do I kill a thylacoleo? thylacoleo battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
But i was nooo where near the dumb tree. Most dumbest vertical leap i ever saw.
Hes often at Redwoods climbing on a tree.
He jumps you down your dino and kills you thats why you usually fly over the Trees in Redwoods.
These can't dismount you if they're on the ground like Kapros, they can only grab you if they jump from a tree.
Be careful flying through redwood these things can jump and like hugs
Redwoods are such a pretty place, too bad this stupid thing ruins them
If you don't want you and your best flyer to die then find it first
Up so noobs don't think it's just a big kittie
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
Imagine your so good at ark your flying a pt and as soon as it pounces u barrel roll it lol
Basically the thing that makes the redwoods dangerous
ALWAYS carry a shotgun. If you get grabbed the two shots from a shotgun can quickly weaken the thyla or even kill it. At the least it'll give you a fighting chance of surviving. either pike it to death or let your mounts to finish it off
This is why I want ark on console and like the fact that there are more maps and better Graphics
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!
These things exist on Genesis. And are not in the grouping for Genesis in Dododex
You can find them very easily, in Scorched Earth. Just go near mountains, and look for the Thylacoleos with a Spyglass. Then, get up on a nearby rock. Try to shoot them, because unlike when you’re riding them, they don’t climb up to attack you. They will just stand at the bottom of the rock, so then you will be able to get many Tranq Arrows into him. (Crossbow is better than Bow.) After you tranq the Thylacoleo, you should place a Campfire and cook some meat, because Cooked Meat is actually better to use than Raw Meat. To craft a Thylacoleo Saddle, you need 20 Metal Bars, and around 250 Hide, and 200 Fiber, so you should keep an Argentavis with you, because they might Server very useful. Then, you just Tamed a Thylacoleo!
If you are going to fly into the redwood forest, go in pairs. That way if one person gets tackled the other can pepper it with bullets.
Flying around with a Parasaur on its turret detection mode really helps you spot where they are on trees
These guys don't agro on Wyverns
My pteranodon killed one before...
As of right now if you get pounced on by one your dino will get really bug and useless. Stay out of redwoods as of now till they fix the thylos.
PC tip: DO NOT use your Argy to knock them off trees from above. I repeat DO NOT do this. THEY CAN JUMP UPWARDS :,(
