ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Beware! Like the therizinosaurus, chalicotherium while it is herbivorous and therefore shouldn’t attack you unprovoked, it does. Approach with caution, up close it will slash you with it’s big claws and from a distance it will throw poop at you, causing you to temporarily loose the ability to sprint and it blocks your vision. Attack with a range weapon and find high ground. This includes bow, crossbow, any gun, slingshot, cannon, turret and other weapons that can fire from a distance.

To those saying Chalico’s produce beer in its inventory, it doesn’t. It’s tamed with beer, and doesn’t produce it. Don’t let these people fool you.
These guys are NOT passive if you are a low level stay away from these guys they will kill you easily
How it survive in wild tho, is there beer trees no one has told me about

Can I get a RIP for Goldie?
I just went up to one of these things to admire it, then it punched me. I ran away, then looked back for a sec. Do you know what it did? It scooped a massive lump of crap from the ground and chucked it at me, and then the game said I was poisoned. WHAAAAAAAAT??!!!
Dude... I thought these were passive. Avoid until you know what you’re doing. I got killed easily and I’m scared to get my stuff back.
Quick explanation for the chalico's attacks:
Melee attack #1: The chalico swipes at you with its claws for 36 damage
Melee attack #2: The chalico headbutts/bites you for 32 damage
The chalico will also repeatedly use these 2 melee attacks in alternating order
Mud throw: The chalico scoops mud or snow if you are in a snowy area from the ground then throws it at you and if it hits you it does 10 damage then gives you an effect that decreases your health and increases your torpidity and prevents any heals from working until the effect wears off
Rock throw: The chalico picks up a boulder that it spawned from thin air then throws it (tamed chalicos only can use this) and if it hits a living creature it will deal 100 damage, this attack can also damage stone at a 1x multiplier so it will do 100 damage.
I saw one of these when I was first playing ark and then I went up to it and it starting throwing dirt at me and blinding me so if your a newby and are a low level stay away from it!
THESE GUYS ARE NOT PASSIVE DO NOT GO TOO CLOSE IF LOW LEVEL
