Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a thylacoleo? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a thylacoleo.
My friend and I tamed two 145 thylas within a couple hours of eachother. We’d find them with our argys, then have one guy narrowly escape death while the other rigged bear traps. Then it was a matter of getting aggro and luring it into the minefield. After that, a spike wall around the tame and a preserving bin for meat were what we used for two successful tames. Oh, and don’t forget narcotics. We used roughly 200 each cuz we were using raw prime meat.
Of you are trying to get one off a tree fly over it with a wyvern so when it jumps at you it hits the Wyverns stomach and misses you
They spawn in redwoods on the island and spawn around the green obeisk on scorched earth
It says that you can tame it with titaniboa kibble in mobile does that mean that wildcard is bringing them in on mobile?
Can be fed raw and cooked meat, a level 85 took about 18 tranq darts
Approach from a distance and use darts,also it prefers cooked meat over raw meat so build a fire and start taming.
Taming these on the standard official you can use 14 kibble and 1-2 lamb chop to max starve tame and acquire the max level from taming @150. Tested numerous times without additional multipliers.
For people withot quetzals to trap them in behemoth walls: If you know where it's hanging from a tree, it won't move from that tree until something comes close enough for it to pounce on. Get prepared with >2 bear traps where you want it to run into. Use only (cross)bow and arrows because torpor goes down fast and tranq darts reload too slowly. Make sure you had a bear trap set up behind it because it will run the other direction if you got the torpor high enough. If torpor isn't high enough it will chase you once the trap breaks. Have a trap set in front of you just in case. Guaranteed it'll have lost a lot of health once it's downed so try to build around it to keep it safe.
Tamed my first one of these by grabbing it in valguro with a level 20 argy picked it up put it in a five wooden billboard trap tamed it . The argy died but it’s ok Cus I love these.
I must have sunk 300+ narcotics into a level 21.
Setup a foundation door frames around it and a bear trap on the middle once it is in the bear trap build a forth wall and put a ceiling
I would highly recommend using these to defend your base on pvp servers just put them on a big wall and set them to aggressive and it will jump of the wall and kill the intruder.
Easy spawn is at rags desert just use metal billboard to trap good luck survivors
These are not that bad to tame... i just fly at the edge of redwoods see if i can spot one. If not, clear out the area for new spawns. It might take some time but it is save(r). Look in the big trees they are not in the thinner trees.
Ones you spot one pick it up of the ground or bait it in a taming pen. Or shoot it down the tree and do the same.
Have some points in movement speed helps..
I use some higher quality leather gear and a pump shotgun when one got me, can easy kill it.
Use cooked mutton to tame.
Yes, i got killed many times by these but with a good shotgun that changes quickly.
I just love these.. there are so strong when high level breeding and imprint. It just takes time or be lucky.
They need to add these to mobile! There so cool!
Every time I want to tame one of these guys they always die from a dire bear, is anyone else experiencing the same thing
If you are trying to take in ragnarok the easiest way with less risk then go to the bottom left of the map and they are found there
The kibble does not work! You still need to use lamb chops
On Ragnarok it's way easier to spot them in the Desert area instead of the Redwoods. Just pick one up with your Wyvern/Argy/Quetz and bring him to your stone/wood taming pen. He won't climb out of it and he can't fit through doorways.
I was searching for hours in Redwoods but found 5 in 30 mins in the Desert. (It's the middle south part of the Desert)
If you want tane them builed a medium wood structure and ram make shure you have a BUNCH of narcotics or elsa you die and lose it hooe helps :)
