Tips & Strategies
ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW: Therizino
It's VERY AGGRESSIVE, has High Health, High Speed & High Damage output.
Avoid at any cause til you can tame them cos these guys are endgame boss killers and are not worth the trouble unless it means you can bring one back home.
Trap them easily by placing 4 stone foundations and 1 wall high all around except on one of the sides, which will leave 2 walls off, bait it in there while using a flyer, high hp pteranodon or an average hp argentavis, while it's in there with you, quickly place those 2 last walls on that one side and it's trapped, fly out. Kill any carnivore around the place to make sure it doesn't come and ruin your taming.
Knock these guys out using tranq arrows or darts, tame them with mejoberries, also have a steady supply of narcoberries cos you gotta need to forcefeed them around 1500-2000 just to have them stay down, don't forget to put down spike traps around it when it's knocked out cos some aggressive dinos will attack it, better be safe than sorry regarding these guys.
Tame level 125 or above therizinos til you get one theri with 8874 HP or above, and one theri with 330 Melee or above, breed them wil you get 1 female and 1 male with the high hp stat and high melee stat.
Breed those 2 til you have 16 in total not counting the ones you are breeding.
Level those 16 guys up in hp and melee and put about 20 veggie cakes in each of them, and ofc use the best therizino saddle blueprint you got.
Use these 16 theriz with 1 mammoth, 1 yuty, 1 deadon and 1 rex against all bosses.
The rex is meant to take aggro from the theriz and yourself since theriz counts as a medium sized dino and bosses will aggro on the largest tames first aka your yuty or in this case the rex instead.
This gives you some space and time for you to switch between using the mammoth debuff on the boss and the yutys buff on your own dinos, also giving you some space to use deadon to heal you theriz even more which will save some of the veggie cakes. since they can be hard to come by in such a big numbers.
Theriz harvest hide, fiber and wood extremely well making crafting saddles and building huge wooden bases lot easier, combined with a doed which harvest stone, one of the best stone structure gathering duo in Ark Island
There you have it.

If you see this thing it will kill you, your friends, your family, some guy down in Africa, and an alien on another planet.
Hug the chicken
Trust me just hug it
You do not find tickle chicken. Tickle chicken finds you.
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
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.
Do not come close, because we're not passive.
When you get too close, we become aggressive.
We can kill hundreds of things that's in our way, all just in one day.

These guys appear at the wrong place at the wrong time ALWAYS and I hate it
Please man, if you are new to the game, and see one of these, TURN 180 DEGREES AROUND, AND RUN FOR YOUR LIFE.
I know what you're thinking: I can take one of those! No problem!
Yeah, that's what I thought too. That's how I lost my lvl 28 Dilo Phospho, lvl 27 Dilo Sauro, two lvl 6 dilos (yes I am a Dilo addict- why do you ask?), AND lvl 6 Raptor Resilience- along with several dino eggs I was about to use to tame the darn thing. Those were all my first tames, by the way. (R.I.P to them- rest their souls, likely still haunting me to this day for my stupidity. I deserve it :D)
Trust me, YOU CAN NOT DEFEAT A THERIZINOSAURUS WITH ANY MELEE WEAPONS WITHOUT DECENT ARMOR!
Oh. And bolas don't work on them either. As if the LITERAL DAGGER HANDS WEREN'T ENOUGH.
If you see one of these early game, DO NOT ENGAGE. It's not worth it, and it will cause heartbreak seeing your tames die to these Edward Scissorhand spawns from the pits of Tartarus.
If you must tame one, please use a trap or load em up with tranq arrows from a VERY GENEROUS DISTANCE. They don't look it, but these things are SPEED. If it starts running at you, either pray to a god of your choice, or get on your mount and start running like your life depends on it- because it very well does.
Overall, if you don't have an Army of Trikes and Raptors to back you up or a getaway flier, I do not recommend confrontating one of these things. They are deadly- if the samurai sword fingers don't scream death and doom, I don't know what to tell you.
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.
