People say escaping a tickle chicken means nothing but death. Well, let me share my survival story with one of these big chickens...weapon-less 😳. You might need it someday too. (Skip to fourth paragraph if you're a scaredy cat) 😗
Basically, I just respawned back from the dead and I was heading uphill to collect my items 😊 when suddenly that intense music when a dino agro's on you started playing 😵😱😵. I turned to see a tickle chicken behind me 😵 and gave one big, painful blow to my behind 😭. Half-naked 😋, no mounts, and with nothing on hand that I could possibly use to stop the big chicken on its tracks (not that any would be useful considering the small distance we had between each other), I knew running was my only option, and death was imminent.
My health was really low and one more blow would have knocked my lights out again, but, I just refused to give up. It was literally an uphill battle; stamina was running low, making my movements slower. It struck me again, but maybe it only hit my underwear 😁 so I survived it somehow. It was really tense, especially with the music 😵, running downhill would have been a good choice you might say but it was really close behind me and going sideways may have been faster death. How did I survive then? 🤔...Well...I ran around a rock 👀.
Yeah, that's right 🧐. While being chased by a tickle chicken, with stamina at its lowest, and the slope of the hill making it even harder to move, running around a nearby rock saved my life. The chicken 🐔 ran around with me for about once or twice then it eventually lost interest and stopped chasing me. Quite shocking it gave up that quick, actually 🥱. Thus, I survived 😋, though the story may have ended different if there were more than one chicken, or other deadly pursuiters.
FACTORS TO MY ESCAPE may have included:
🐔Height of the rock that hid me from the chicken.
🐔I got irresistibly good looks from all the exercise running gave, making the chicken blind from too much beauty and "lose sight" of me.
If you ever want to attempt to attack a therizeno know that IT WILL BREAK YOUR ARMOR, so I suggest bringing an extra set just in case it makes scrap metal with your flak armor. Another thing you need to know is that it is FAST, you may be able to barely outrun it but 9 times out of 10 it’ll chase you until you got no stamina left and eventually kill you.
Be aware the dodo was 5 years in the gym if you want to tame it be sure to have tranq arrows and a stone house it's headbut does 3% damage to stone structures
you don't need a trap to tame one--IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING! use a flying mount to get up on a rock or cliff. shoot tranqs at it until it runs, then chase it and keep shooting til it drops. bring twice as many narcotics as you think you need, trust me.
I just started a world and this thing just killed me

Level 5 takes longer to tame then a level 20 rex on official 😡
I was on a Dire Bear tryna find a good level Theri. Came across a level 140. So I got all my taming gear ready. I approached it and started shooting it my Tranq darts while the Dire Bear was tanking all the hits. And all i gotta day this thing is a beast. Almost killed my dire bear that had 4.5k health. I recommend taming a good level because these beasts have so much health its outrages.
I shot 80 tranc arrows at it and it stil dindn't knok out

Taming(cheap):get on a rock. If there is no rock and it is a low level, go far from it and shoot it at the head with a crossbow and tranq darts. In this strategy tranq darts aren't recommended because the long neck rifle has a slow reload time. Recommended to sleep before taming for fast taming.
LARGE BEAR TRAP IS ALSO USEFUL
Once it is down, feed it megalosaurus kibble(mobile) or exceptional kibble or idk since i play mobile.
Keep narcotics or bio toxin in its inventory. I use bio toxin since it is twice as effective. On mobile soothing balm is recommended. Keep an eye on its torpor. (unconscious meter) If torpor gets low, feed it the narcotics or bio toxin. It won't be long before you get your own tickle chicken!

Make a cage and lure it into it
Don’t mess with these guys, they will be sure to one hit you and your dinos. You cannot win without your bow,arrows and the high ground!
These guys torpor drop FAST. I literally just used 250 biotoxin to tame a level 18 one. When taming theris, always bring atleast quadruple what dododex says.
A level 25 has 2k torpor and loses about 8torpor per second
High ground. Cliffs. No more no less. Same strategy with sarcos and spinos. High ground is your best friend.
İf you see this thing coming at you run hide pray so it doesnt find you dont go in your base mf can hit metal
This guy in my opinion is better than Rex. He is faster, more maneuverable, attack is nice and quick...plus outside of battle he can harvest wood, thatch, berries, and fiber almost as well as anything else in the game.
Downside, not the best weight for gathering. And no weight reduction, slightly less base dmg than Rex, and not as much health, with no way to heal naturally.
Can get over 2 high walls, does fit through a Dino gate
Took awhile to tame, but now I have my Tickles with me. I wuv him 🤗
It’s almost impossible to find a high level one in ASA and even if you do they are an absolute menace as far as guzzling narcotics and eating everything in your pantry and fridge. Bring tons of narcotics and prepare to find nothing or die to a theri that will casually tickle its way through metal traps like a ghost just to cleanse you of your soul, your Dino’s, and everything you have and ever will hold dear.
