Thylacoleo Hook-Claw farming

[lord_lazaruss]

I want to get a bunch of Thylacoleos imported from Ragnarok to the island, and then get them breading and kill their offspring for their hook claws. (i need the claws for the second guardian) Is this possible ?

You can't get trophy items from breeded/tamed dinos, so the answer is no.

on the island you can find Thylaco inside red forest (the center part of the map with enourmous trees). they can be found hanging up in trees waiting to jump on you if high enough but usually they already got a target and jumped down. so looking nearby the ground for them hunting other targets is usually faster since they are kinda the master predator of this biome.

I play singleplayer and a lot of dinos do not spawn for me (Gigas, Charchars, beevers, queen bees).

I will try to fly close to the ground in redwood, but i haven't seen Thylacos in years.

you can force a total respawn if your spawns locations are being overwhelmed by one type of dino (it can happen with long timers on the same map).

command is: destroywilddinos

as for queen beens they are only inside nest so that command don't work for them. but usually bee nest are bugged and stacked on each other in red forest. when you find one, you found in fact several overlapping over each others. some are empty but with the numbers usually at least one will have a queen bee inside. but taming is tedious you need to be prepared and not f*** it up.

gigas/carchas share the same spawn point and weight so if one spawn the other will not on same location until the first one is hunted/tamed. they are only a few locations on the island for those and without cleaning the spawn point (either manually by killing mobs or by command) they won't appear. beevers are also kinda a rare spawn but they most easily appear within hidden lake (the alcove with a lake in north-east, almost accross carno island) or in the pools in the south west river (nearby red obelisk).

You'll probably have to do a dino wipe.

Use an admin command to wipe out all wild dinos, and then the game will respawn them automatically. If you're playing on the Island, it only spawns a few of those at a time in the redwood, and they will usually be stuck to the sides of the redwood trees, head down, in launch position.

In singleplayer, it's really easy for them to launch off of trees for various reasons, and then they attack every moving creature until they take enough damage and die. They never stop attacking. After a bit, you will never see them again unless you do a wipe.

After the wipe, run around and see if you can spot them, then shoot them off the tree.

An alternative method is just fly around with a super high level dimorphodon on your shoulder set to aggressive. You will get knocked off your flyer by the thyla pounce, but then the thyla will just be gone. The dimorph will _eat_ the thyla. The hook will be in the dimorph's inventory. I personally find this to be the most amusing way to farm the hooks. "you wanna piece of me? do you tough guy?" BAM nom nom nom, no more thyla.
