ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
The tickle chicken, a fearsome terror of the beaches. This horrifying creature’s diet consists of berries and probably your nightmares. If you encounter this loathsome monster in the wild then you should run as fast as possible in the opposite direction. If it attempts to tickle you try to lose it in a dense forest. If you do not have access to any dense forests then try outrunning any friends you may have with you, as it stops to rip them apart you can easily get out of sight. If you do not have any friends or forests with you, try to convince it to jump off a cliff. This is possible do to the fact that the tickle chicken will always run in a straight line towards you, however this may not work in Ark 2 do to likely AI improvements.

To the person who said they are cute, they are cute. Until they maul you to death. But still…
If you see this thing it will kill you, your friends, your family, some guy down in Africa, and an alien on another planet.
so just now I encountered this lv 3 theri and I had my lv 26 raptor and I thought we were unstoppable……And the rest was history.(Although I killed it in the end) Tip:kill or tame it u can’t run from it
UP for RIP LV 26 raptor
first time writing tip be like :1
Please man, if you are new to the game, and see one of these, TURN 180 DEGREES AROUND, AND RUN FOR YOUR LIFE.
I know what you're thinking: I can take one of those! No problem!
Yeah, that's what I thought too. That's how I lost my lvl 28 Dilo Phospho, lvl 27 Dilo Sauro, two lvl 6 dilos (yes I am a Dilo addict- why do you ask?), AND lvl 6 Raptor Resilience- along with several dino eggs I was about to use to tame the darn thing. Those were all my first tames, by the way. (R.I.P to them- rest their souls, likely still haunting me to this day for my stupidity. I deserve it :D)
Trust me, YOU CAN NOT DEFEAT A THERIZINOSAURUS WITH ANY MELEE WEAPONS WITHOUT DECENT ARMOR!
Oh. And bolas don't work on them either. As if the LITERAL DAGGER HANDS WEREN'T ENOUGH.
If you see one of these early game, DO NOT ENGAGE. It's not worth it, and it will cause heartbreak seeing your tames die to these Edward Scissorhand spawns from the pits of Tartarus.
If you must tame one, please use a trap or load em up with tranq arrows from a VERY GENEROUS DISTANCE. They don't look it, but these things are SPEED. If it starts running at you, either pray to a god of your choice, or get on your mount and start running like your life depends on it- because it very well does.
Overall, if you don't have an Army of Trikes and Raptors to back you up or a getaway flier, I do not recommend confrontating one of these things. They are deadly- if the samurai sword fingers don't scream death and doom, I don't know what to tell you.
Personally, I put this thing between Rex and spino on the danger level for new survivors. Rexes have a big aggro range, but they’re slow, and you can get away if you book it. Spinos have a much smaller aggro range, but you can run from em, and they’ll rip your inexperienced butt apart. Theris are the worst because you can get pretty close… close enough to think they won’t attack you…
WRONG.
They will attack you viciously, and since they’re not carnivores, they won’t stop attacking you unless something attacks it and gets closer than you are.
Personally, I challenged one with my raptor, and it killed my raptor and almost me. But guess what? A frickin Rex was frickin attacking the whole frickin time. It only ignored me once it killed my raptor.😭
This was early game. Now I have theris, and they are BRILLIANT gatherers. If you can tame one, tame it. They’re as strong as a rex but they can gather wood, thatch, berries and fiber, along with meat and hide. Plus, you get the saddle five levels earlier.
I’m trying to figure out if they do torpor too, because the edge of the screen turns pinkish purple when they hit me… maybe I’m the only one.
Anyway, good luck everyone!
A fellow survivor.
