What is a thylacoleo used for? thylacoleo battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
If you live in redwoods and you are having war with other people tame these climb a tree and wait tell your freinds to do same and once your enemies come jump off grab them knock them out and put them in a metal cage in a room with pegos outside in case they have stuff and boom you have prisoners
Now, this was a given tame to me, so I know literally nothing about wild ones. I've never encountered one. Also take this with a grain of salt as the given one was a raised thylacoleo, so I could over exaggerate normal thylacoleo.
If you need some hide or meat, this guy is great. One of the best hunters in my opinion, as it's very fast, and it can climb up walls. Not even kidding.
It's jumps are huge (nothing compared to deinonychus a.k.a Raptor chicken)
Abilities that I know: Climbing (hold jump maybe? It's A for Xbox.) Growl (not sure if it does anything, press down right joystick for Xbox.)
And the normal attack. That's all I know for abilities.
Hope all of this is helpful, and remember to take it with a grain of salt, I'm decently newish (few weeks - a month new) and also this tame was a raised thylacoleo (100% Imprinted) that was as GIVEN to me, so I know nothing about wild ones or how hard it is to tame.
Easily the most useful creature I've ever tamed.
They are absolute beasts at everything. Jacks of all trades. And more.
They run faster than wolves and sabertooths, they have a weight stat that rivals rexes and mammoths, their health can be pushed higher than any wolf or saber as well, and can gather chitin/keratin at ridiculous amounts per kill, their damage rivals wolves and sabers, can knock down trees in 1-2 hits, they have what seems to be a nearly infinite stamina pool once levelled a few times, can climb any vertical surface in the wild and almost all built structures, can pounce from vertical surfaces to disable/damage mid to small-sized creatures, and can jump vertically, nearly 4 walls high making escapes easy; the list goes on.
70+ pelt per rhino. 70+ chitin per scorpion.
Just .. be careful. Be wary when you walk/fly into the redwoods.
When on scorched earth always bring a thyla for raiding as they can pin down Phoenix although Phoenix are rare they are able t9 be tamed and they are strong with a thyla it should be a piece of cake to kill a Phoenix but I have not actually tested this it’s just a thought as I don’t normally play on public servers especially on scorched
