What are tips for thylacoleo? Tips and strategies for thylacoleo in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
As an Xbox player it took me 50 cooked meat and 30 narc to tame . I hate that everyone on here says it takes thousands . I WAS ON ARKPOC . - Holland
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.
If you’re skilled enough, and have a decent amount of health or skill… you can lure a thylacoleo into a gate trap. Place down 3 dino gates with 2 doors and only enough room for you to get through, then locate the tree kittens and draw their attention, get it in the gate and close the gate, then you can more easily knock it out without risk of it escaping before you do.
Works best where they spawn on the ground like in the snowy mountains on The Island.
This might not be efficient or easy but it’s fun XD
The easiest way to tame them is make a 2x2 box with 2x ramps, 12x wooden doorways, 4x wooden foundations and lure it in using a tranq I recommend using Tranq darts but a crossbow would work too. I dont know if this is on all devices but on ark mobile food drains instantly to 0.
I died 12 in a row trying to tame one I hate this thing
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
I read that you can not get knocked off a quetz by these jerks but it is wrong!!!! I have been knocked off a pteradon, 2 argents, and 1 quetz! Be Warned!
I tame them by riding a rex (on passive) through the redwoods with an argy following.
The thylas chase the argy. I shoot thyla. Follow on Rex if Thyla runs.
For taming I just build a taming pen along the redwoods, then fly on my argy till I find one, stay kinda far away and shoot it off the tree, grab it and fly to the taming pen at a 45 degree angle and go up and down once in a while, and drop it in the pen and knock it out with tranqs and done!🫶🫶
I was running along with my 3000+health raptor when a dam big kitty jumps out and tears my raptor to shreads I nearly got out alive.
Very useful I suggest everyone early game with a boomerang and your on top of the cliff yeah
If you manage to tame one of these they are an awesome ground mount. They can climb sheer cliffs in a heart beat and have a 3 story vertical leap. They are fast, and durable. Mine is lvl 82 at the moment. I killed a lvl 14 alpha carno and only lost a third of my health. I feel safe on this guy and he can take me anywhere. Just look out for them in the redwoods. They are very tough to tame without a trap. One you have one they will become one of your favorites. They are great in the water too. Dump levels in health and damage.
Just one other demon in the redwoods
Prefer cooked meat,don’t use raw meat,better cook it
This thing took forever to tame make sure you are ready to take your time with this one
I saw one and used my tank argy as bait and then went in from behind with my pulmonoscourpius, knocked it out fast.
