What are tips for therizinosaurus? Tips and strategies for therizinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Definitely a ideal creature if you want to make your enemies defecate themselves at the sight of it. This thing can pack a hit so if your enemy has a weaker mount this glorified chicken can easily make quick work of them. I’ve tamed about 2 of them and it’s not as easy as it may seem.
Definitely build a trap for the theri it is way way to hard to do it any other way
All I did was made a stone structure of 2x4 made stone walls 2 walls high agroed it got it in the trap left it there for 2 in game days came back knocked it all it's hunger was down so it tamed immediately with some rocky karrats
I love tickle chickens, I would recommend taming a low lvl one and raising it up lvl it's weight capacity to 1000 then health to 2000 (don't bother lvling it's speed just up it's stamina), I use it when scouting for new areas for a sub-camp then cut down a ton of trees w it and start building when I find a good spot (also great for gathering fiber). Pretty much a portable lumber mill tank.
I decided to try and tame one for my tribe. I set a one door frame high trap. Anyone who's tamed one of these already knows my first mistake. Second mistake: I used a bow with tranq arrows, not even a crossbow. I somehow managed to knock it out after 15 minutes of tranqing. Please learn from my mistakes and never even attempt to try this method
The worst way to do this is to shoot it run and turn around don't do this under any circumstances just run run ruuuuuuuuunnn
If you find a decent lvl theri, you should consider taking it. I found a lvl 13 ish a little while ago, and it’s now a lvl 66. These things can bear the living crap out of alphas, and can harvest tons of wood, berries and fiber. I tamed mine with a fast high lvl raptor, and some tranq arrows. Pretty easy tame if u know what your doing.
Ah the therizino. My favorite, great at everything, I use mine (plural) extensively, i suggest to tame or hatch to get several of these. They are great "clutch" wood/hide/meat and berry gathers = fast spike walls and food for tames far from home base! Once walls are down easy to set on neutral to protect, they are bossy bastards! Got two with 400% melee and 8k health..."bossy bastards" pump melee-weight(to 500-600)-hp-speed to 105-110...if possible.
I don’t take any chances with a Theri…trap it in a stone box…
2x2 stone foundation.
16 stone doorways…..and a ramp for it to rampage up and fall in. Build your trap somewhere safe…..or as safe as possible because you’re going to be here a while.
Use a flyer that can take a few hits and lure the beast up the ramp. Once trapped get to knocking it out.
That was the easy bit…
Keeping a Theri asleep is a marathon.
You can pre-prepare a bunch of narcotics but I find it best to simply bring along a gatherer in a cryopod ready to go berry picking. A Moschops is good as it can usually fight off pests…they are also very quick at helping you construct a temporary shelter to bolt on to your trap as taming a Theri will often take you well into the night and hypothermia is a thing.
Use batches of 100 Narcoberries to keep the Theri asleep.
Once tamed you’ll have an epic mount. Their harvesting skills are already well documented on here so I’ll provide another interesting detail…
…almost all other creatures are scared of them and will not openly attack you, this includes two of the most annoying creatures in the game…..Kapros and Microraptors! This makes swamps significantly safer as Sarco/Baryonyx and Boa will ignore you as well.
Make sure you take narcotic and narco berries also do not underestimate It it can wake up fast
Two by two stone box works well for trapping it.

PLEASE PRAY FOR ME, ONE OF THESE GIRLBOSS BADDIES IS CHILLING RIGHT ON MY HOUSES AREA AND ALL MY STUFF IS IN THERE, WHAT DO I DO 😭💅
These creatures are beasts they can kill spinosaurus, Rexes, and allos. They are strong and can kill almost anything. They are great tames and great at gathering. I think they should shed their claws when tamed
2x2 Stone trap, tranq until it is scared and tried to run from you, sleep, now knock it, give lots of berries: Congratulations, you tamed it in a seconds
This is a must know tips for faster taming on these clawed beast (Or help my comment crawl to the top)
