ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
One of the best cave mounts out there, if you have the patience to breed it and bring the baby inside, shines out in the Swamp Cave.
Small enough to fit into most tunnels, large enough to avoid most Arthropleura spits hitting its rider, boulder trown deals damage to Arthropleuras (and Kentrossaurus alike) without receiving anything back, has a much larger AoE to its melee attacks than its own size, deals tons of knockback with its melee and none with the boulder throw, and having both a third attack (default "C" on PC) and the ability to let its rider use weapons it allows the use of both firearms and its melee attack at once.
More Chalicotherium Utility Tips
Been taming these beasts since 2016! The secret is the ground level, be higher than your opponent and even an alpha Rex will have difficulty touching you! The knock-back power is REAL!! / Low health? No prob, the chali can sit to fast regenerate its health but only up to 50% but it’s more than enough to continue the battle! & cave creatures? Forget about it, you’ll be slapping them silly while they hopelessly try to touch you! Or crush them all with the Boulder launch! This will always be my main tame!! Stay thirsty my friends. 🍺
Description:
Wild
Chalicotherium Obsidioequus is a strange, yet peaceful herbivore, preferring to spend it’s days in tropical climates.
Chalicotherium Obsidioequus is sloth-like, except with a head resembling a horse, wields wicked claws that it uses to grab food from its surrounding environment, yet can prove deadly in combat. It also has a zebra-pattern and appears pot-bellied, allowing it to consume loads of berries at once.
Much like the Gigantopithecus, Chalicotherium Obsidioequus is perfectly fine if wild animals approach, just not if they attack. However, the same cannot be said of survivors, who are attacked if too close. It will however, happily lap up food or beer from said survivors, so long as they keep a reasonable distance.
Domesticated
Chalicotherium Obsidioequus is a social animal, making it a great companion. It can be taught to use what Helena mentions as it’s “playtime habit” combatively, which can be helpful to master in dangerous situations.
