Tips & Strategies

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 π³. You might need it someday too. (Skip to fourth paragraph if you're a scaredy cat) π
Basically, I just respawned back from the dead and I was heading uphill to collect my items π when suddenly that intense music when a dino agro's on you started playing π΅π±π΅. I turned to see a tickle chicken behind me π΅ and gave one big, painful blow to my behind π. Half-naked π, 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 π so I survived it somehow. It was really tense, especially with the music π΅, 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? π€...Well...I ran around a rock π.
Yeah, that's right π§. 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 π 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 π₯±. Thus, I survived π, 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:
πHeight of the rock that hid me from the chicken.
πI got irresistibly good looks from all the exercise running gave, making the chicken blind from too much beauty and "lose sight" of me.

A level 10 did 4000 damage to our level 137 Giga, and almost killed a level 200+ Argie. Be very very careful with these guys.
Anyone who is saying to run from these clearly doesnβt understand how fast they are.

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
These guys appear at the wrong place at the wrong time ALWAYS and I hate it

First time I met the tickle chicken.. it was terrifying.
So, I didnβt know they were hostile, and was like β what the hell is that??β 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.
