Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a thylacoleo? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a thylacoleo.
You feed it cooked meat
Be careful they will try to jump on you
i would use the Snow Owl to find because of the thermal vision alot easier :)
It takes almost exactly one hour to tame a lvl 20 with cooked meat. It likes cooked better than raw
If you want one of these amazing mounts. There easy to find and get on scorched. There near green ob in the mountain areas. They are very aggressive which is good because they won't run wen u tranq them. Fairly easy and simple tame.
Can tame with raw or cooked prime. Cooked meat is preferred over raw.
Use the snow owls thermal ability to find these guys and pick them off trees with a wyvern
You cannot force feed it or taming will drop
If you’re playing lost island go tame these in the desert. It is stupidly more easy to find and down them. They’re just prowling around on the ground and not a hidden dismount danger in the trees. There’s lots of cutouts in the rock there too so if you find Carnos or other walking predators that will interfere in the taming process you can just lead them off a cliff into a ravine. The spawn map has pings all over the mountain area on the east tide of the desert in the south.
Trust me when i tell u if ur looking for a thyla u better get a fast creature like a propoctodon bary and even a spino and make sure when u see it shoot at it so u get its attencion its hard to find a high level but trust me when i say it really worth it use a 4 by 4 trap make sure its rock then make sure the creature u using has a lot of health i recommend 10 k or 8k health because it does bleeding that can kill u and ur creature then Just tranq it the thyla preffers cooked Meat so i used cooked prime to tame my level 120 it takes a while but i say its worth it
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.
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
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
In the lost island map, around the green ob of the desert you can find thylas on the ground.
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.
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.
It says like 800 narcotic I used 30 for a 140 don’t believe the nacotics needed 100%
Actually fairly easy. Use quetz scoop it out. Get close enough to shoot off the tree. Have guy on another bird argo it into rocks or a pre set trap. And you shoot it from quetzel in pve. Pvp soon as it hits ground grab with quetz n drop in trap 2 high stone doorways 2x2.
Uses about the same breeding time frame as wolves and sabers.
