What are tips for therizinosaurus? Tips and strategies for therizinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
YO my first time seeing this thing I was like WOAH I never knew Wolverine was a dinosaur, then I saw me and I was like PLS SPARE ME and it was like ahha not today buddy I ran al FAST as I could but it still killed me so I was like IM GONNA TAME YOUR KIND ONE DAY and the a few weeks later it finally happens.
I just tamed a lvl 20 theri and it took 1hr and 200 narcotics. This thing was a pain in the bootycheeks to tame but well worth it. It gathers a crap tone of berries, rare flowers, rare mushrooms, and also a good amount of thatch/wood. I recommend having around 50-70 tranq darts if you want to knock out a high lvl theri.
If you have spike walls all over your base sometime when it kills this beast it will go flying
So I was flying to my neighbours island with her, and we had to stay on a mountain to regain our Argys stamina, as we waited, I looked around and saw THREE of these guys, I’ve heard a lot about how these kill, so I was freaking out, one was attacking a rex?one was coming fowards and backwards to us, and another just staring into the forest (we lived tho, yay! :3).
Watch your back these guys will chase you forever unless you jump on a bird and fly away these guys want to make sure you get the best tickles before you leave!
I saw a lv20 Therizino and im with 4 lv30 Raptor and im looking for hide so i thought why not kill this guy and goddamn it only took 4 hits from this guy to kill 4 of my Raptor (I died too after btw)
One word RUN and or HIDE or tame but that is next to impossible for obvious reasons
They are insane for pvp and should be used more often
I highly recommend taming a pair of high level therizinos and breeding them they're savages! they're one of the best midgame creatures with decent movement speed and maneuverability, it can deal high damage and it has decent health if its a high level. It can gather wood, fiber, berries (although it'll become encumbered so i suggest to level up its weight ).
i also suggest you have a couple of these come with you on your journeys or have them protect your base as they can defeat rexs and really any type of threat.
So you wanna tame this big chicken eh well young one you are gonna need 9 large bear traps,50 tranq arrows (just to be on the safe side take 80),a whole lotta berries and bio toxin cause this bois torpor rate drops fast
So first things first grab a pterandon and your large bear trap your bow with the tranq arrows and a sniper rifle with 10 bullets
Then find a theri once you find one find a open space where you can see it clearly so i doesnt sneak up on you and make your efforts useless
After those place your large bear traps on rows of 3 then go back to your desired theri with your pt and shoot it once with your sniper and bait it to your bear traps and just spam its head with the tranq arrows wait for it to fall and voila you just knocked out one of the most dangerous chickens you ever saw in your life
Then of course the usual taming with the berries and bio toxin
NOTE: DONT LEAVE IT FOR LONG CAUSE ITS TORPOR DROPS FAST AND IT MIGHT ESCAPE OR KILL YOU AND YOUR PTERANDON
This guy literally took hours to tame. I recommend getting TONS of bio toxin, normal narcotics aren’t effective enough, and TONS of berries and or vegetables and most importantly you’ll need TONS of patience
I would recommend to tame this guy with kibble because it takes 4 hours to tame a level 100 if you use berries
VERY DANGEROUS CREATURE Be carful use tranq DARTS
Large Bear Traps are inefficient, you gotta get on a high and steep rock and tranq it; chase it when it flees and continue to tranq. I’ve gotten them unconscious but their torpor drops very quick and it can be dangerous
So I tamed it really easy find one shoot it with traunqs on a cliff don't worry because most are next to a cliff then once it's knocked out use smoothing balm then tons of berries and just wait and boom it tamed and now I have ten high levels.
I saw this thing roaming around my camp in singleplayer once (in a area near where the southern coast and the southern jungle meet) and decided to approach it, BIG MISTAKE! It attacks you, and I suggest if you ever do what I did , you have a medium amount of stamina to run, because I was running away from the Therizinosaurus and it hit me while I was running. Best thing to do is build a spiked wooden wall and wait for it to die.
