Encountering Tips

How do I kill a chalicotherium? chalicotherium battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
One of these was near my house and would not leave me alone. When I was trying to tame an animal it always attacked me. A pheridactal can kill these
Don’t fight he threw poop at me and big stinky
These guys are nasty. They spawn almost anywhere, even on the starter beach. They are a lot like dilos, except Chalicos are drunk monkey cow things. Only approach if you are confident and strong enough. Stay safe.

Cahlicotherium are not necessarily aggressive, but we become EXTREMELY HOSTILE when approached by the player. I tamed two phiomias on Mobile and sat them outside my base on Passive. Then, I heard them getting attacked by one of these ugly behemoths. In the end, both my phiomias died to this thing, and it killed me and smashed one of the walls on my base. So, they may also become aggressive if they approach your tamed dinos too.
Rest in peace Pork Chop and Apple Sauce..you will never be forgotten..
Spawns in North zone getting folded on the daily not because it's trash but because it was born amongst yuty direwolves daedons and other hellspawn.
I see quite a few around my temporary peninsula and what used to be my old beach before I made a raft house. I’ve encountered one before I had to delete Ark because my old phone had crappy storage and it completely and totally chased me out of my home. I survived, somehow. I was debating whether my team should take it on since we just had a slight encounter with a carno and completely destroyed it. (Team is: Trike lvl 42, Carbonem 14, Pteranodons 27 and 25, my portable parasaur backpack 37, Dilos 20 and 25) I’m not very high of a level, but I DO have a pet dilo I keep in my raft for my little cousin that I don’t take into battle/keep safe.
Never go close to these things that's for starters tip. Well unless if you want to tame it but good luck and I hope you tame one of these but they're hard
and tricky
In ark mobile up north they throw snowballs
These things are scary as heck, around level 43, primitive metal chest and legs, leather boots, gloves and an ascendant leather hat from a time gift. Aggro’d from very far away, took me out 4-5 shots and I can’t get my stuff back. Ghillie suit and a pt are almost necessary if you want a good chali
Despite being classified as a teritorial creature, these jerks will sometimes walk up to still tames and attack them.
They spawn a lot up north
Do not try to tame they WILL KILL ON SIGHT.!!!!!!!!
To fight these your self use Dilos a metal shield and a metal sword whenever you see it lure the others away by using a bow then send the dilos to attack it and when it attacks at you use the shield to protect your self then keep attacking it until its dead
For those people saying they don't throw poop you are insulting these creatures. When they throw the poop at you it will show a little icon if you press h it will say poop throw or something like that.
these things are absolute BEASTS do not mess with them I’m warning you
In the mobile version of ark (which I only discovered recently), tamed Chalicotheriums are apparenty immune to the poop throw that the wild versions can do to you. The tamed versions tend to do their agro animation instead of getting the blind effect that would show with other creatures elswhere. I haven't checked this quirk in other platforms, but it seems to be noticeable in mobile....
I thought the bastards were passive but no they are strong as crap and they will destroy you if not read
Solo hagas lo que hagas no corras hacia el, ve agachado y lento
Just whatever you do don't run to him, go crouching and slow
Do not mess with these guys as a low level they randomly walk into my base all the time and sometimes kill my animals but there is nothing I can do as a low level.
Run in circles when it is chasing after you so it won’t throw dirt/boulders/poop whatever it is then run in one direction if you’re fast enough. I wasn’t fast enough 😐.
