The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the R-Thylacoleo at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.

The table below shows how many hits from each torpor weapon are needed to knock out the R-Thylacoleo at different levels. Always pace your shots. Torpor takes time to apply, and over-shooting can be lethal.

To simplify the knockout, immobilize the R-Thylacoleo first with Chain Bola or Bear Trap. Alternatively, use a Argentavis to airlift it into a pre-built trap.

Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the R-Thylacoleo sedated throughout taming. Bio Toxin is twice as potent as Narcotics (80 vs 40 Torpor per use), while Narcoberries work in a pinch at just 7.5 Torpor each. With Torpor draining at 1.85/s, don't wait until the bar is nearly empty to apply narcotics.

Track the taming process with the timers below - they monitor both Torpor and starvation progress. Torpor monitoring prevents premature wakeups. The starve timer is for the starve-tame method - let Food drop, then load all kibble at once to avoid waste.

The R-Thylacoleo, a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a common sight across multiple maps. It belongs to the Variant category.

At 679 base HP, the R-Thylacoleo is solidly tanky. With 105% base Melee Damage, the R-Thylacoleo has respectable melee power. Stamina sits at 400 base, providing solid stamina reserves. It carries 400 base Weight - good carrying capacity.

Taming the R-Thylacoleo requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor. Feed it Extraordinary Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.

Once tamed, the R-Thylacoleo is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. Breeding is via live birth rather than eggs, simplifying the process. Defeating one in the wild grants 5 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.5 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
