Tips & Strategies
Ok... Where do I start with Therizinosaurus... I'll start with location and taming. I play on ARK Mobile so this is a Therizinosaurus guide for ARK mobile.
Locate your Therizinosaurus
Therizinosaurus seems to wander in most places except the snow biome in the far north and the swamp. The Dossier is found in the swamp. I have found the creature roaming in many places, but you can usually find them the most near the green obelisk or on mountains. Once you have found a suitable Therizinosaurus, proceed.
Taming and KO
Therizinosaurus is a knockout tame. I would recommend crossbows or a dart gun. A tamed Tapejara could be super handy. Just make sure it is set to follow, or it will land. Once knocked out, if you have any soothing balm, use it. While you can buy soothing balm from the store, I think you should spend time to get the Artifact of the Hunter from the cave in the south, and tributing it to the green obelisk. This can give 10x soothing balm, bringing the taming rate from 0.875 to 8.75. If you do not have soothing balm, bring plenty of narcotics or biotoxin, and kibble. Therizinosaurus is a herbivore, and takes berries after taming.
Utility
Therizinosaurus is a good all around late game tame. It can drill through rexes with ease. It has a decent health pool, but it is not the fastest option and cannot carry too much. It has three attacks. Melee claw swipe, by pressing attack. This does knockback to enemies that are small enough. It also has a "Tickle" attack by swiping up, which does not do much damage, but can gather hundreds of fiber from bushes, thatch from trees, and get Plant Species X seeds and rare flowers in large quantities. Alt attack 2 is a bite, which does a good amount of damage, harvests hide from corpses, berries from bushes, and wood from trees.
Additionally, Therizinosaurus is a herbivore, and can heal very quickly from sweet vegetable cake. It has a 1 person saddle, and loves to ruin newbies. It is an aggressive creature with a high torpor drain. It is a bit larger than Baryonyx, and swims about as fast as it runs.
Overall rating
9/10, wish it was a bit faster but sacrifices must be made.
Hope this helped!
More Therizinosaurus Utility Tips
To get wood, use normal attack which is slashing with claws. To get berries, use bite attack. To use bite attack on mobile, change multi tap to alt attack 2 and tap with 2 fingers when riding the Therizinosaur. To get fiber, use the tickle with claws move. To use the tickle with claws move on mobile, jump when riding the Therizinosaur.
Description:
Many people often fault Therizinosaurus Multiensis as a predator, but these same people clearly weren’t smart enough to know not to dare approach a wild animal until you know it’s general temperament, and they would see that it is clearly the exact opposite of a predator if they researched it’s prehistoric self/ancestor.
Despite the high numbers of deaths by this particular animal, Therizinosaurus Multiensis prefers peace over war. However, it has a very short temper when it comes to it’s own personal space. If you overstep this line and have failed to outrun a raptor, you should just accept your death. Struggling often only makes the problem worse than it already is, as Therizinosaurus Multiensis rarely ever gives up on chasing a target that has angered it.
Domesticated
Because of it’s short temper for personal space, Therizinosaurus Multiensis is incapable of being passively tamed despite being a herbivore, as it prioritizes survival over alliance. However, various balms and concoctions manufactured for the sole purpose of soothing wild animals for domestication have proven effective on almost all species, with this one being no exception. On top of that, unsurprisingly for a herbivorous species, Therizinosaurus Multiensis’s favorite snack just so happens to be Rockarrots, and becomes fiercely loyal once tamed, especially if said Rockarrots are offered to it while it is unconscious. I have personally ridden them, and they have big hearts, especially when it comes to their owners. They just don’t like people getting too close for comfort. Mind your own personal space, and wild a Therizinosaurus Multiensis shall treat you with respect. Forget to mind your own personal space, and… …I think you can guess what happens next.
