What are tips for thylacoleo? Tips and strategies for thylacoleo in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Flying around with a Parasaur on its turret detection mode really helps you spot where they are on trees
USE A TRAP! these things are brutal and i cought one and named it waffel and he beat a alpha rex also make sure to level it up before fighting bosses or alphas.
You can tame easily using a tapejara. Find a thyla that's still on its tree. Use the tapsjara to latch facing the ground on a tree facing the thyla. Then use the ranged taming weapon of your preference.
My pteranodon killed one before...
Just have it pounce on a friends house has armour on and tranq it while it's busy with them. Ez tranq, now just feed cooked prime meat and ur good to go. FYI, u need to hold the jump button to cling on mesh, you can't just press it. That might be why they aren't in ark mobile.
Cool pvp battle stance:
Setting: redwoods, large portion of enemy tribe coming through in a few seconds
Creature 1: deinonychus (ridden by human, clinging high up to redwood tree, preferably at least 10
Creature 2: thylacoleo (ridden by human, clinging high up to tree, ready for pounce, preferable at least 3)
Creature 3: griffin (ridden by human, flying high in the sky, human on back with RPG, at least two)
Procedure: when the enemy comes close, use the thylacoleos to pounce smaller creatures or humans, and use the deinonychuses to kill the larger ones. The griffins go into dive and, when close to ground, passenger fires rocket. Griffin does slam, then rises back into sky and repeats. You have the enemy down in a matter of minutes with few casualties, and you have struck a major blow against an enemy tribe.
Up if you want more!
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.
You can pick them up with an argentavis when even while its clinging to a tree, just make shure to approach from above, ✌️
A bit of a pain to tame but I love them.
So overpowered
Hands down the best mount in the game. They take practically no fall damage (might be because mine is high level but I fell off the top of a mountain and he lost maybe 10 hp,) they’re super fast, they can climb vertical surfaces, leap at prey from trees, etc. And as a bonus they’re super cute!
PC tip: DO NOT use your Argy to knock them off trees from above. I repeat DO NOT do this. THEY CAN JUMP UPWARDS :,(
It's a marcupial... Tame with cooked mutton not raw!
You wanna tame thyla on crystal Isles?
You can find them near wyvern trench and also in desert.
Just be careful bcz there are many crystal wyvern hiers there 😬
How have I never seen one of these? I fly around in the red woods constantly and all I see are those perlovia badger things but I don’t think they climb trees. Anyway, I was gonna put a tree base in the red woods then I remembered that these guys can climb trees so I had to check if they spawn in the red woods so i guess no red wood tree fort for me lol
If you have the Extinction-DLC you should tame yourself a Snow Owl. They have nightvision and you can easily see every single one of those Thylacoleos. Fly safe get yourself a Snow Owl.
Bring a longneck to tame them. At least have 14 points into your speed.you will want a turtle to take damage
They don’t collect thatch 😀
Best tame ever! Very worth the risk. His climbing and jumping abilities make him able to fly across the redwoods. Also he has great stamina pretty good weight and damage too. He's a great mount to go from place to place.
Use a wooden taming pen to tame him a lead him there with a fast mount ( prob something like an eqqius ) and tranq him. Have campfires nearby as he loves cooked meat rather than raw.
