Tips & Strategies

Do not, I repeat DO NOT try to take this on without the proper tools. I couldn’t defeat on for a long time, and it rips things apart. My thatch base was gone in second. The two good things to know are the range of awareness(how close you have to be before it sees you) is very low. I had to get right up in its face before it attacked. This allows you to go around them easily. Secondly, do not attack without a longneck rifle or better. The only reason I took it out was because I had a longneck rifle with a scope to get two good headshots, and a mastercraft sword to finish the job. It hurt me a lot, and I barely made it out alive. This was on casual mind you. So again, do not engage without much preparation or you will regret it. If your lucky you can outrun it and retreat to your metal base. If your base isn’t metal though it will tear through it. Thatch stands 1 hit, 2 if your lucky. Wood will last maybe 4 at the most, and Stone can last 10 if your lucky. But it will not last forever.

Kill all of them. I left my Argy (Balerion) alone for one second to collect berries. When I returned Balerion was killed by one of these shit.
One kill= one pray for Balerion. He was the best

First time I met the tickle chicken.. it was terrifying.
So, I didn’t know they were hostile, and was like “ what the hell is that??” And went up to it, it hissed and me and started using its large tickle claws and chased me. I survived.. I swam through water, and climbed a rock.
