What are tips for therizinosaurus? Tips and strategies for therizinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Ok... Where do I start with Therizinosaurus... I'll start with location and taming. I play on ARK Mobile so this is a Therizinosaurus guide for ARK mobile.
Locate your Therizinosaurus
Therizinosaurus seems to wander in most places except the snow biome in the far north and the swamp. The Dossier is found in the swamp. I have found the creature roaming in many places, but you can usually find them the most near the green obelisk or on mountains. Once you have found a suitable Therizinosaurus, proceed.
Taming and KO
Therizinosaurus is a knockout tame. I would recommend crossbows or a dart gun. A tamed Tapejara could be super handy. Just make sure it is set to follow, or it will land. Once knocked out, if you have any soothing balm, use it. While you can buy soothing balm from the store, I think you should spend time to get the Artifact of the Hunter from the cave in the south, and tributing it to the green obelisk. This can give 10x soothing balm, bringing the taming rate from 0.875 to 8.75. If you do not have soothing balm, bring plenty of narcotics or biotoxin, and kibble. Therizinosaurus is a herbivore, and takes berries after taming.
Utility
Therizinosaurus is a good all around late game tame. It can drill through rexes with ease. It has a decent health pool, but it is not the fastest option and cannot carry too much. It has three attacks. Melee claw swipe, by pressing attack. This does knockback to enemies that are small enough. It also has a "Tickle" attack by swiping up, which does not do much damage, but can gather hundreds of fiber from bushes, thatch from trees, and get Plant Species X seeds and rare flowers in large quantities. Alt attack 2 is a bite, which does a good amount of damage, harvests hide from corpses, berries from bushes, and wood from trees.
Additionally, Therizinosaurus is a herbivore, and can heal very quickly from sweet vegetable cake. It has a 1 person saddle, and loves to ruin newbies. It is an aggressive creature with a high torpor drain. It is a bit larger than Baryonyx, and swims about as fast as it runs.
Overall rating
9/10, wish it was a bit faster but sacrifices must be made.
Hope this helped!
Trap tameing is best darts are helpful
I freaking hate this guys they always ruin everything
Is it just me or does this destroy your armour as well? 😰 when i try to tame it, when it attacks me, my armour gets destroyed in the process.. time to take a more careful approach!
So me and my friend got on a cliff and got it torpor running after about 20 tranq arrows for the level 30 and when we finished knocking it out it took around 3 hours to tame up but definitely worth the time this thing is a BEAST but it would be a good idea to trap it to get it knocked out cuz that was rough almost killed us both.
It is not hard to tame a LOW LEVEL therizonossaur. Mounting one of your fast dinos (Galimimo, Raptor, Iguanodon is preferred) and search for therizono, remember to equip a lot of narcoberries if you pretend to tame using mejoberries. when you found the wild therizono just dismount and shoot narcotic arrow against it, mount again and run to gain distance and shoot again. Do this till you take this Dino down. NEVER STAY CLOSE TO IT, cause it will kill you easily, so distance is you friend.
They can not eat potatoes vote up so people know
The dodo's bigger brother.
If your just starting on a new server with no solid items to defend yourself, just stay out of the way if you see one of these. They are faster than you and can kill you pretty quick
We basically use these for literally everything. My tribe has 4 of these lvl 50 and up. When we go hunting we haven't met our match so far.
Wood, fiber, berries... we do spend the points in power and delicate harvesting as follows. 2 of these super turkeys go solely for power harvesting and the other 2 go for delicate. This way we have 2 massive berry collectors and 2 major wood collectors.
Tip: use a wood trap if you don't have a stone trap (surprising if you're trying to tame one at that level) also shoot fast so he knocks out before he breaks the trap
The thing is a beast! You use it for one of the boss fights ! Tame it in the start and level it up
Why dose this thing exists there is one outside my base and i just got a slingshot could I use big stone to knock in out?
I shot it with 6 tranq darts and 10 tranq arrows and it did not get nocked our but I had to take brakes
If you are willing to have your own tickle chicken, make sure to do these steps:
1 make at least 5 stone gates
2 get the chicken inside
3 use narcotic arrows and shoot da chicken
4 Use exceptional or megalosaurus kibble to tame
5 wait about 10 mins for it to tame
6 WHAT EVER U DO DONT SLEEP (u will loose your chickens tame progress and chicken will try and kill you)
IF you find this helpful then leave a like :) ty for reading!
You'll find these killer / fluffy chickens in the forests, redwoods, and mountains also because of grass lands that are near a mountain.
