What is a thylacoleo used for? thylacoleo battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Cool pvp battle stance:
Setting: redwoods, large portion of enemy tribe coming through in a few seconds
Creature 1: deinonychus (ridden by human, clinging high up to redwood tree, preferably at least 10
Creature 2: thylacoleo (ridden by human, clinging high up to tree, ready for pounce, preferable at least 3)
Creature 3: griffin (ridden by human, flying high in the sky, human on back with RPG, at least two)
Procedure: when the enemy comes close, use the thylacoleos to pounce smaller creatures or humans, and use the deinonychuses to kill the larger ones. The griffins go into dive and, when close to ground, passenger fires rocket. Griffin does slam, then rises back into sky and repeats. You have the enemy down in a matter of minutes with few casualties, and you have struck a major blow against an enemy tribe.

Thylas are the best dinos to take for artifact hunting above ground & Basilos for underwater. B.C(Before cryopods) tribes would breed a pair of them outside the ice cave & then have the baby follow inside the cave & raise Thylas there. Compared to Sabers & Baryonyx, Thylas have more utility & have both overpowered stat wise.

These guys are probably the best mount in the game: fast, agile and deadly, if you get an amazing level and a breeding pair, get a baby, get it 100% imprint it’s perfect, mine can take out brontos, alpha raptors, rexes. He has me across the map and saved so many of my dinos by doing meat runs, although they get hide, pelt and keratin more than meat. I usually use mine for when I am doing metal runs to defend me from scorpions and sabertooth. If you’re up to that stage keep it in a cryopod at all times and throw it out when you are close to dying
Hands down the best mount in the game. They take practically no fall damage (might be because mine is high level but I fell off the top of a mountain and he lost maybe 10 hp,) they’re super fast, they can climb vertical surfaces, leap at prey from trees, etc. And as a bonus they’re super cute!
