When I was a noob I approached one of these to read the name and look it up. I approached very, very slowly to judge whether it was hostile or not. When I reached it, I was surprised, but glad that it wasn’t going to attack me. Just as I got close enough to read the name, I’m suddenly thrown back. I close the app and use the app preview thing to read the name, then look it up. I haven’t stopped kicking myself for walking up to one of the strongest hostiles in the game

Step 1 get on a mountain

Step 2 get on top of a rock that dinos and players can’t climb

(use flying dinos like pteranodon saddle unlock at lvl 38)

Step 3 use Tranq arrows

Step 4 use smoothing balm or buy minor smoothing balm(only 10 amber)

Step 5 use the smoothing balm or minor sb ^

Step 6 put berries and bio toxin or narcotics |(put like many many)

Step 7 congratulations you have a tickle chicken

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.

There is a trick in the ultimate mobile edition that saves you all your narcotics and a ton of time that is spent usually waiting for your knocked out dinos to slowly eat and fill the taming bar.

(Works with any dinos)

Step one:

Trap your dino that you are planning to tame. For example (Therizino).

DO NOT KNOCK IT OUT YET.

Step two:

Craft a thatch foundation and a bed and place it near the trap (ofc far away enough so that you won't get hit)

Step three:

Wait for nightfall and go to sleep on the bed.

Step four:

When you wake up, start pumpkin tranqs into the dino and knock it out.

After knocking it out, you will notice the food meter of the dino is downright 0. (In mobile edition, sleeping the night on a bed while a dino is trapped in your render distance, drops their food to 0 regardless of how high it is)

Step five:

Chug some food down its throat and see that taming bar soar up.

Congrats, you saved yourself hours of waiting and tons on narcotics which is usually required for a tame like therizino with a high torpor drain.

Tip: try and aggro the dino and kite it to a safe place or your base for a much safer process.

This is march 31st 2025 and it's still working.
