Quick answer:<\/strong> To tame a Thylacoleo in ARK Survival Ascended you get it down from its tree, knock it out with tranquilizer arrows or darts and feed it Extraordinary Kibble or, if you have none, Cooked Lamb Chops or Cooked Prime Meat. A level 150 Thylacoleo needs 8 Extraordinary Kibble and about 26 minutes at official 1x rates; on Tharyon, with 8x taming, 1 kibble and roughly 3 minutes are enough.<\/p>\n

The Thylacoleo, or Thyla, is a marsupial lion that ambushes prey from the trees. Tamed, it is a fast and strong mount that can climb vertical surfaces, ideal for forests and cliffs. Its bite causes bleeding, so it also does well in a fight.<\/p>\n

How to tame a Thylacoleo step by step<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Prepare Extraordinary Kibble or cooked meat plus Narcotics: cooked food takes longer and it will need several.<\/li>\n
  2. Do not walk under its tree. Shoot it from range so it drops to the ground.<\/li>\n
  3. Lure it into a pen or a Bear Trap on a fast mount, then shoot it from a high spot it cannot reach.<\/li>\n
  4. Aim for the head with tranquilizer arrows or darts until it falls asleep.<\/li>\n
  5. Put the food in its inventory and give it Narcotics whenever torpor drops.<\/li>\n
  6. Watch the nearby trees: other Thylacoleos can attack you while you wait.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These numbers come from ARK’s taming formula for a level 150 Thylacoleo. The 1x column is the official rate and the 8x column is Tharyon’s rate. They are estimates: hitting the sleeping creature or a game patch can change them slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    A level 150 Thylacoleo has about 6958 torpor. With the amounts in the table you usually do not need narcotics on Tharyon, but bring a few in case it takes longer than expected.<\/p>\n

    Where to find the Thylacoleo in ARK Ascended<\/h2>\n

    On The Island it lives in the redwood forests. It spawns clinging to tree trunks and pounces on anything that walks underneath. Look up when crossing the redwoods: there is often more than one in nearby trees.<\/p>\n

    Official ARK Survival Ascended maps where it spawns: The Island, The Center, Scorched Earth, Ragnarok, Extinction, Valguero, Lost Island.<\/p>\n
