What are tips for thylacoleo? Tips and strategies for thylacoleo in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
A trap I have used to trap a thyla is a I like to call a box trap. All you need is four fence foundations, a large bear trap, and 16 door frames. First put the bear trap down, Then on all sides place a fence foundation then put the door frames on the fence foundations ( two doors high, and remember to leave one side open to lure in the thyla) then let your desire thyla into a trap, and when it gets stuck in the bear trap, close in the side that's open. And then of course knock it out and feed it with its desired food. This trap works well with other creatures as well. I hope this helped- ZXDragno
I was riding my snow owl to find the tree boy, and my sister used her argy to pluck tree boy out of the tree :) brought him to safety used my net to trap and bring him down, with hella narco and like 60 cooked meat I have myself a lvl 55 Tony the Tiger :)
If you need to find one, I know they can be found in the desert biomes sometimes. It’s a lot less deadly. Torpor drops like nothing ur gonna need ALOT of narcotics. I play console.
You wanna have 2 Dino's 1raptor 1parsaur put parsaur on turret mode it will mark the Thylecoleo and then shoot run away from the Thylecoleo on the raptor place a large beartrap and jump over then trap it with stone strucers then knock it out
They are fast
Have a good dps
THEY can climb walls and trees
One of the best land creatures of all time
They are the best to collect chitin
You should tame it
Tip:- the best way to tame it if you have a dragon just find it and pick it up to a clear area
Very useful I suggest taming these early game best way to tame them is with a boomerang and a cliff make sure you have narcotics but don't forget they need cooked food
I was going over the mountains and through the woods to my grammas house and litererally got shredded to pieces. Got killed again trying to get my stuff so than I couldn't find that location again...bout a week later I stumbled upon my argent that fortunately was in passive mode and fled from my killer.
Finding one at the edge of the forrest and letting it chase you to the beach makes taming way easier.
OK boys and girls, you see this creature right here^ yep that b*****d is the devils own spawn.. catching it on the island is pure hell. (Much easier to catch on genesis 2 with bear traps) but I digress.
I would suggest having a fast flying mount like a pteranadon for this.. fly above the redwood trees area towards the mountains to build your pit trap. (Make it bigger if you want to make it multipurpose.)
4× stone foundations, stone Dino gate, 12× stone walls (make one a stone door wall for quick in out escaping), and 4× stone ramps.
From just outside of the redwoods you can spot them in trees.. DO NOT FLY OR RIDE PAST THEM, UNLESS YOU WANT TO HAVE A BAD DAY. When you see one from OUTSIDE the redwoods that you want just shoot it once to aggro it over to you.. (when it's on the ground it shouldn't be able to rip you off your mount). Fly over to aggro it into your trap. Voila, tranq it in safety ;)
Rest in peace Cole The thyla 🪦💀💔❤️🩹😭 😔
Here’s a tip how to tame it on early game: you need an argy, an small 2x2 trap, 2 walls high, shoot him with dart and it will go down, trap and knock him out, use cooked prime meat if cannot afford mutton. It has a huge levelling on hp and dmg, you can use it for few caves and create a best that can kill almost anyone, also it is really fast and mobile, with slow stamina drain and fall damage. Sadly it’s too big for most caves, but you can take it there with cryopod.
Thylas are found in only in redwoods. Scorched they are wandering like many other creatures. Aberration they do not spawn. Extinction is the same. And so is genesis part 1. Part 2 they are the same as scorched but wandering around the plains, highlands, and lowlands.
People kept telling me not to fly in the redwoods. I didn't listen. A flying tiger didn't like my ptera or me. Bastard nearly got me, but flak armor, a metal shield, sword and a little courage saw me through the fight.
If you have a tribemate on a Parasaur you can easily locate thylas, when you find one shoot it once to knock it off the tree and lead it back to a trap. From there it’s just tranq and tame.
Be careful when flying through the redwood, however if your flying mount has enough stamina, thylas don’t seem to be near the tops of the trees. Just be cautious when you take a stamina break.
