What are tips for therizinosaurus? Tips and strategies for therizinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Easy tame (need Quetzal):
Step 1. Build a bunch of crop plots (recommended large) and plant rockarrot(carrots), savoroot(potatoes) and longrass(corn). Therizinosaurus, as well as most other herbivores, prefer these over the berries. The savoroot and longrass will still be preferred once you run out of Rockarrots. Also farm biotoxin, as this will be an essential part of the process if your desired Therizinosaurus isnt starving upon knockout.
Step 2. Get on your Quetzal and find a wild Therizinosaurus. Then pick it up and carry it to either the Dead Volcano, one of the three Obelisks, or to your base.
(WARNING: Due to their territorial nature, you may need to make room for the Therizinosaurus prior to arrival, including moving your tamed creatures somewhere else).
Step 3. While your tames are away, you may want to invest in some soothing balm. You can either buy it with Amber, or get one of the artifacts from one of the caves and tribute it, as the Obelisks have a chance to reward this with soothing balm.
Step 4. Now you need a sheltered enclosure. This will be where your bed will be so you can suicide to skip the day/night if you arent tired enough to sleep, and will double as a “security checkpoint” if the Therizinosaurus kills you during the knockout procedure.
Step 5. Now you have 2 options. If you aren’t the best at surviving under constant fire, your best bet is to climb ontop of a rock before starting.
However, if you can take a beating, fire away. Do note however that as torpor scales with damage dealt, you might be better off with using an Ascendant bow as those deal somewhat more damage when compared to regular bows. Just be sure to have somewhere above 46 tranq arrows, as you really never know.
Step 6. Starving vs Not Starving procedure:
Starving: The food is all that is needed. You can apply soothing balm if you wish.
Not starving: You need to add bio-toxin into the mix so that you can resupply torpor as-needed. You may also want to apply the soothing balm to let the creature know that you are friend and not foe, which will then in turn make it warm up to you more easily, and thus be tamed faster.
Step 7. You have tamed a Therizinosaurus. Your new friend will now protect you exceptionally well as needed, especially if high level, and with a saddle and enough health, weight and melee/attack, will double as an armored transport for heavy resources.
0.Me and my friend saw one and we were like ,
2.YO DUDE THAT GUY LOOKS COOL!
1.no they scary
2.lets get it
1. Sure
I fell of my cliff dropped my health half it knocked me out the shanked me when i woke up
Stay away from this sewing machine on legs… I warned you.
Theriz ARE MORE SCARY THEN UR MOM WITH A WHIP
These are definitely one of the best ways to start off a play through, i’d tame a parasaur and farm up a lot of narcotics. you can make a lot of traps for pretty cheap. you will need to be able to craft a large bear trap and some stone pillars you can lookup a full tutorial on youtube. then you basically will be able to harvest all the wood, fiber, and berrys you need to get you deep into mid game. the tame takes a long time but overall i would definitely recommend taming this beast.
Just run. Don't bother with it. Take a dino and run.
I was terrified of even going near one for months after it 3 shot me once but once wen i was going out to tame some raptors i ran into one and it started attacking my diplodocus and was non stop beating him up for about 2mins and afterwards i checked my diplos health and it had only lost about 800 health and he had 6000 so i went home gathered some biotoxin and tranq arrows i then went out and found one and all i did was get a buddy to ride the diplo and constantly knock him back and i just shot im with tranqs so the theri barely got any hits on the diplo but wen wen he did the diplo was to tanky so i found that to be the best way to tame one
So I saw this chicken collecting metal once, I was like oh boi, huge rock plus a few tranq arrows it's down. Sadly learned the hard way that torpor goes down in 4 mins flat. I cought a lvl 19 only, had to knock it out again bcz I did it know it doesnt eat meat and didnt know it trains bio toxins like a druggy. Still ome of the hest creatures to tame in the game.
Dear bobs, before even thingking of taming one of these, pls prepare a few hundred spare narcotics, you'll need it
If you want to tame or knock out this thing use a crossbow or a bow but I highly suggest you use crossbow and stay in a higher place you can also you stone walls or pillars to trap it do not use anything that’s less as strong as the stone walls
Well I was trying to tame it and it's super quickly so it killed me over 5 times so I killed it with my sarco always have the high ground to tame
So apparently a lvl 78 stego can 1v1 a lvl 24 thesaurus. Always keep a stego.
For lower level player who need to kill this thing, or just want it away from their base. Craft a raft and a Primitive shotgun (Can use arrows but a gun works best) shoot it then hop on your raft and lure it into deep water. Stop the raft periodically and shoot it from a distance. It cannot go as fast as your raft in deep water. It takes awhile but eventually it dies. A spyglass also helps in the process to see its health. It’s time consuming but, you can kill it as a lower level, and it stops the risk of this terrorizing bird killing you and your pets. Hope this helps.
First, me, my tribe and our base was being attacked by a female brontosaurus. None of us knew why. I thought that one of us must have eaten it’s egg or something. Then… it just gave up. Our base was missing some of the roof and our dinosaur’s were all dead. Then a big thing with enormous claws started inching it’s way to our damaged base. Then we all started to freak out. It took out one of our walls me and the only tribe mate who hadn’t been killed or ran away, we tried to fight it off. We failed a minute in. R.I.P dead dinosaurs.
Build a three story base out of wood and shoot them into oblivion, they might take out some of your walls but you should be able to kill them before they kill you
These guys are truly bastards they ruin and try to kill everything you own bc u get within 5 fkn feet of them. They will come after you at all cost, I just have lost so many tames to them
I see everyone says to run from this furry beast but you can tame it,all it eats is berrys and these things when they are baby's they are pretty cute and they are useful takes because of they're eggs I wouldn't recommend stealing a wild therizino egg
Use hide armor, tranq arrows 20, 200 health, berries to tame and kill jellyfish to have bio , and crossbow make sure theres no 2 only 1 if its 2 your dead and i tame the beast only myself
RUN Away I got KILLED a lot of times by these guys so yay
