So. Taming a thylacoleo isnt really easy. Today was the first time i have tamed a thylacoleo and i must say, trying to find it is a pain. I used my quetzal and a parasaur called "bait" on turret mode to find him. If you cant use a parasaur try just going around the waters near redwoods and try to spot 1. Note: Better use a quetzal if you have one, dino's cant dmg you while holding them with quetzal. Find a thyla, shoot it with a single arrow and when ut falls go and grab it. Carry it into a cage or tranq it till it falls unconcious. You will need around 40-60 cooked meat depending on lvl (i am on 0.2 difficulty). Around 20-40 tranq arrows and at least 200 narcotics. When it falls asleep put in the food od choice and narcotics and wait for it to wake up. It takes about nearly an hour to tame. I hope this helps.It's torpor falls down really quickly so watch out for that. If you need help ask. My name is WakeyJakey

Thylacoleos wake up kinda fast when cryo sicked

A good way I found to find these is to go to the redwoods riding a parasaur and walk into the forest spamming the parasaur’s ability. It will alert you to a thylacoleo in a tree if there is one, just make sure to look up at the trees near you if it finds enemies. Also would recommend bring a dino or two to protect you and your parasaur. Just signal them to passive when you find your thylacoleo. Hope this helps.

This big kitty somehow got out of my trap every time I tried to trap it. I was sad........ BUT! I got an idea! 💡💡💡 To use the Beelzebufo! Long story short, I tamed it, and now one of my favorite tames. 🤩 (I used cooked prime meat to tame my Thyla)

Don't do it

I tried to tame a level 40 with my 174 argy, I died so I came back on my 134 pt, it died, I died. I came back again on my 202 frog, my argy died and I finally knocked the thyla out. A raptor came and butchered me. I quit before I knew if my frog made it

These things will leap off trees, and scare the shit out of you.. I've lost an argent by one cause it glitched and bugged him out when pinning it down

cheapest trap i've found is to place a large bear trap and lure em in, then while they're trapped place as many wooden billboards as you can around them so they're stuck once the bear trap breaks

I was riding my snow owl to find the tree boy, and my sister used her argy to pluck tree boy out of the tree :) brought him to safety used my net to trap and bring him down, with hella narco and like 60 cooked meat I have myself a lvl 55 Tony the Tiger :)

A trap I have used to trap a thyla is a I like to call a box trap. All you need is four fence foundations, a large bear trap, and 16 door frames. First put the bear trap down, Then on all sides place a fence foundation then put the door frames on the fence foundations ( two doors high, and remember to leave one side open to lure in the thyla) then let your desire thyla into a trap, and when it gets stuck in the bear trap, close in the side that's open. And then of course knock it out and feed it with its desired food. This trap works well with other creatures as well. I hope this helped- ZXDragno

You wanna have 2 Dino's 1raptor 1parsaur put parsaur on turret mode it will mark the Thylecoleo and then shoot run away from the Thylecoleo on the raptor place a large beartrap and jump over then trap it with stone strucers then knock it out

They are fast

Have a good dps

THEY can climb walls and trees

One of the best land creatures of all time

They are the best to collect chitin

You should tame it

Tip:- the best way to tame it if you have a dragon just find it and pick it up to a clear area

Very useful I suggest taming these early game best way to tame them is with a boomerang and a cliff make sure you have narcotics but don't forget they need cooked food

Finding one at the edge of the forrest and letting it chase you to the beach makes taming way easier.

OK boys and girls, you see this creature right here^ yep that b*****d is the devils own spawn.. catching it on the island is pure hell. (Much easier to catch on genesis 2 with bear traps) but I digress.

I would suggest having a fast flying mount like a pteranadon for this.. fly above the redwood trees area towards the mountains to build your pit trap. (Make it bigger if you want to make it multipurpose.)

4× stone foundations, stone Dino gate, 12× stone walls (make one a stone door wall for quick in out escaping), and 4× stone ramps.

From just outside of the redwoods you can spot them in trees.. DO NOT FLY OR RIDE PAST THEM, UNLESS YOU WANT TO HAVE A BAD DAY. When you see one from OUTSIDE the redwoods that you want just shoot it once to aggro it over to you.. (when it's on the ground it shouldn't be able to rip you off your mount). Fly over to aggro it into your trap. Voila, tranq it in safety ;)

Here’s a tip how to tame it on early game: you need an argy, an small 2x2 trap, 2 walls high, shoot him with dart and it will go down, trap and knock him out, use cooked prime meat if cannot afford mutton. It has a huge levelling on hp and dmg, you can use it for few caves and create a best that can kill almost anyone, also it is really fast and mobile, with slow stamina drain and fall damage. Sadly it’s too big for most caves, but you can take it there with cryopod.

If you have a tribemate on a Parasaur you can easily locate thylas, when you find one shoot it once to knock it off the tree and lead it back to a trap. From there it’s just tranq and tame.

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

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

I died 12 in a row trying to tame one I hate this thing

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.
