What is a thylacoleo used for? thylacoleo battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
This thing is very good for taking down strong dinos if you combine its force with a pack of direwolves. I rode on a level 40 thyla with 3 level 150 direwolves and we absolutely destroyed stuff on scorched earth. We could take down a rock golem easily because of the insane dps this group has. I would 100% recommend this for mid-late game.
This Mammals could be so useful and fierce; especially when you are flying around redwood forest. You should be so aware flying between big trees (those ones that you cannot chop down) they are mostly climbed at the trees.
For taming, I strongly recommend to make a trap, otherwise he can bleed out you or/and your tame.
In addition, Thylas are so powerful against dinos which have a lot amount of Hp. Thanks to their bite and that ability (bleed) that deals damage percentage can easily kill a soaker.
In conclusion, I strongly recommend to tame a couple Thylas and imprint them.
Name idea: Shere Khan. (From Jungle Book)
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.
