What are tips for thylacoleo? Tips and strategies for thylacoleo in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I’ll say one thing. They’re f**king tree camper and will pin you off your mount like there’s no tomorrow. They’ve jumped me off my rg so many times I lost count. Be careful with these. These creatures are not ones to play with when taming.
An owl makes finding these much easier. Turn on thermal vision and you'll find them everywhere in the red woods. Make sure you have alot of biotoxin or narcotic as they don't like sleeping for long
These things make getting dinopithicus impossible. They just jump on top of u when u are killing the troop and then u have to go get ur stuff and/or bird after the incident. By the time you get there and ur stuff and bird back the dinopithicus has evaporated.
Thanks for reading.
It’s not so hard if you know what to do. Using a pteradon or an argentavis may seem like a bad idea, but just look at every tree as you pass through the redwoods, and to avoid getting dismounted fly high above the forest. For taming, fly slowly on a dino and look at every tree. Then, shoot a tranq at it from a distance. They’ll fall right off and attack something, and it only takes a few to couple tranqs to knock it out, but be careful because they’re fast and strong. ( submitted by: Banzooi )
Yuo can Pick them with an argy and Put them into a taming pen If your Brave enough but make the pen's walls high enough because they can JUMP as hell
These guys are some of the best tames in ark because you can tame things from its back by running away and tranqing your target from its back.
To tame them fly around in the red woods with a flyer that is on passive flee until a thyla tackles you out of the air. You need around 300-500 health and flak armour to survive the attack. Once it tackles you shoot it with a net gun if it's high level or just start tranqing it mid air and chase it (you need about 160% movement speed to catch it again)
Disclaimer: Make sure your flyer will not kill your thyla, I have lost 3 thylas that way.
Easy trap with four Dino gates (doors on the first & last gates) place a large bear trap right in the middle. Bear trap captures Thylacoleo for a few secs, giving you enough time to close the doors on each end trapping it inside. Cooked mutton for faster tame but still great efficiency.
They're in the tree's!!
If you plan to enter the red woods be sure to carry a good melee. Most likely they'll see you before you see them. Once they catch you it's up to you to kill it quicker than it kills you
In my opinion it’s the best all around tame, good health, it can climb mountains, lots of stamina, good weight, fast swimmers and good damage, the only thing I do suggest upgrading is it’s movement speed. When taming them their tapor drops extremely fast so have a lot of narcotics like I would say at least 50. hope this helped.
I can not find one not even one of them
Making a simple 2x2 trap is all you need. Make sure you put a bed though because it may glitch out when you kite it in. Once you get it in back away and knock it out.
Fly around until one pounces on you then when you get free pick it up with your flyer and fly it to a trap
In the lost island map, around the green ob of the desert you can find thylas on the ground.
They are a real pain in the butt to tame though once you get them they are incredible- you can find them in the redwoods of the island, the savannah islands of ragnarok.
if you find a sheep while taming one
BE SURE TO COOK THE MUTTON
this is one of the only creatures on all of ark who actually LIKE cooked meat
These things take you off a giga also so watch out for these things please up so everyone knows
Fly with an argi along the edge of the redwoods and look at the trees below the treetop. You can actually see them well and check the level with the telescope.
If you have one you like, land near the side of the tree and shoot down with the shotgun.
Then collect it with the argi and throw it into a trap.
Since he prefers to eat cooked meat, he can be tamed very well with fillet. Just take enough narcotics with you.
The trap should not be too far away from where you collect it, just quickly build one out of supports nearby. Otherwise he will tear the argi apart in the air.
