What is a thylacoleo used for? thylacoleo battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Thylacoleo has a bleed effect that does % of hp damage over a small amount of time. i killed my first titanosaur with my thyla but attacking and running when it agro’d BUT you can’t let the bleeding deal the finishing blow. This just happened and my thyla and I didn’t get the xp.
Hit the sky button so people don’t make my mistake and miss out on heaps of xp 🤥
Thylacoleo are capable of pinning down flyers in mid-flight (anything but the Quetz and Wyvern, I believe), other Thylacoleo, and even Therizinos. You can also jump from object to object by holding down the jump button while pouncing from a tree or cliff (have to hit it at the right angle, however).
The thylacoleo is an extinct genus of carnivorous marsupials that lived in australia from pléistocène to the late pléistocène (2million to 46 thousand years ago). He were the largest mammalian predators in australia of that time. The estimated average weight for the species (thylacoleo carnifex) ranges from 101 to 130kg
Climb the large Redwood tree with your tamed Thylo. You can turn and face toward the ground (just like the wild ones!) You will get crosshairs. If a smaller wild creature is below, you can aim, pounce, and it will chew on the prey for a few seconds (just like the wild ones!) Enjoy.
I'm a perfectionist so I never end up taming one of these with cooked prime meat or lamb chops for like 70% taming effectiveness (they prefer cooked meat to raw meat) but also getting exceptional kibble is such a drag even though it's absolutely worth it.
In summary if you aren't too lazy get exceptional kibble and breed these, an imprinted one is the mount you'll use 90% of the time
