What are tips for chalicotherium? Tips and strategies for chalicotherium in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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.
If you don't have beer you can try to tame it with stims if you want to wait 19 years.
I saw someone’s comment say “Beer tree,” like so they know that you get beer from barrels
It can be carried by a quetz
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.
For beginners these things will spot you in a split of a second so don’t even think of going up to it with a stimberry in your hot bar. Instead, get a ghille suit and sneak behind it and feed it a beer! Don’t use stimberries it is pain And time consuming unless you have a bush of stimberries. They eat berries after they are tamed though. Not beer.
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
After the first feed go away but make sure not to loose it, if you keep following it, it will get mad af and the taming bar will reset..... after the first feed wait by far away from it and when it wants its next beer sneak up to it (ghillie suit reccomended for first try) and give it a second beer and repeat what i said earlier, if you follow my tip, everything will be fine
These tanks are found on beaches and cold biomes up this if you found it usefull
Up this if they also throw rocks on Ark Mobile Thank you.
Yes... this thing drinks beer in the wild and won't be youre friend if you don't give the alcoholic what he wants!
I have seen so many peeps say “it throws poop at you not dirt” WRONG why you ask because if you find one of these in the snow they throw snow at you they pick up dirt in every other biome besides the artic area because they will throw snow there. I have solved this debate that seemed to ruin many people it’s dirt they throw not poop test it yourself find one of these dudes in the artic and make it angry it will throw snow not poop
While most commonly found in the snow biome they spawn randomly in almost all areas of the map.
Passive tame but it is angry. DO NOT knock him out.
