Encountering Tips

How do I kill a chalicotherium? chalicotherium battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
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
Ive seen a few that have said this guy only throws rocks when tamed. That's not true at all. It can throw both when wild and likes to start attacking you if you are a certain distance away by flinging poop at you that if hits of course poisons and slows you.
As you get further away they will throw big rocks at you. The rocks apply a knockback.
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??!!!
How it survive in wild tho, is there beer trees no one has told me about
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.
I was mistaken,,, these guys WILL attack even on your dino, one almost killed my lvl 50 trike. If your low level, please stay away. They’ll kill you in an instant. If you DO have dinos (preferably larger mounts) then:
You can walk past them, but KEEP WALKING. If you stop to stare at the alcoholic/you get to close it will attack.
If it does decide to attack (which there is a good chance it will) do anything, you just want to be a good level around these guys. Right now I’m at lvl 55 and raised my hp stats too
All I’m saying is: stay on the mount, and keep walking. Don’t talk to strangers:))
*Me wandering around as a noob*
*sees this thing and thinks “oh look! A monkey cow thing! Imma go say hi”*
*walks over and gets punched*
*I run home getting poop flung at me*
*hides in corner of house with feelings hurt that the cow thing didn’t wanna say hi and scared out of my mind*
NOOBS BEWARE!!!
THE MONKEY COW THING IS NOT NICE!!!
so i just got my level 82 trike killed by one of these things trying to tame a monkey looking thing it sucked. so my advice don’t run into these. up if this helps
I was lvl 20 and I was walking to green obelisk wh deer n I ran into a pare of these mfers they killed all my Dino’s except for one phiomia and a dilo. I had like 2 trikes 8 dilos 3 phiomias and 2 paras rip my faithful Dino’s
Don’t care if your nice,
You’ll pay the price,
Even if you did nothing wrong,
I’ll give all your Dino’s a BONG..
R.I.P Coffie the dodo, killed by attempted tame.
She did nothing wrong.
Attention all new players new to ark!
DONT GO NEAR THE CHALICOTHERIUM THEY WILL START CHUCKING POOP AT YU.
THE FIRST RULE IS DONT GET CLOSE IT WILL BECOME VERY HOSTILE
Fun fact: Chalicotheriums are an extinct species of sloth.
While most commonly found in the snow biome they spawn randomly in almost all areas of the map.
What ever you do, DON'T MAKE IT MAD. It will literally destroy everything you know and love
If you use stimberrys it will take 2 hours
If you're trying to kill (or tame) this creature, make sure it's the only one around. If there's more, they'll all attack you.
Are these dangerous I see them all the time
These cows have a ranged attack, which throws stunning mud at you. This is used in alternation with its main attack, a swipe.
