There are two ways to tame one risky one safe

Risky option: make 3x3 square of stone foundation and place stone doorways all a round with ramp leading into it. Lead it into trap then tranq it out with tranq arrows and bow or crossbow. Make sure you have tons of narcoberrys and mejoberry and put both in inventory feed it narcoberries when below 50% torpor. Tamed level 75 with this strat

Safe option: do with metal buildings

If it helped like it

You can't bola them, learned that the hard way

Avoid them if you are not confident you can kill or subdue them. Despite being Herbivores they will not hesitate to use those large claws to slice you into ribbons before wandering off. These "Tickle Chickens" are certainly a threat to newcomers, and even more experienced survivors who find themselves unfortunate enough to have drawn the ire of a Therizinisaurus. I have no advice on how to fight one, only that you should avoid them.

Me when I encounter it for the first time: wat Dat?

Me now: OH SHI-

Never park your dinos on the beach for any amount of time. Everything I’ve ever cared about in this game has been killed by a Theri. I’m still early but verging on mid-game, and had tamed a small pack of dinos I was proud of: a Sarco, my Ptera, 2nd generation Parasaur (parents killed), 2 Carnos, 2 Raptors and their juvenile, a Dilo, my Diplodocus sweetheart, my newly tamed Anky and my monkey. All murdered in a matter of seconds. If I hadn’t put stone foundations on my raft, that would have been gone too. The only survivors (miraculously) were my Moschops that I pumped health into. I’m still in shock. Damn you, murderous tickle chickens!!! WE HATES IT!

The tickle chicken, a fearsome terror of the beaches. This horrifying creature’s diet consists of berries and probably your nightmares. If you encounter this loathsome monster in the wild then you should run as fast as possible in the opposite direction. If it attempts to tickle you try to lose it in a dense forest. If you do not have access to any dense forests then try outrunning any friends you may have with you, as it stops to rip them apart you can easily get out of sight. If you do not have any friends or forests with you, try to convince it to jump off a cliff. This is possible do to the fact that the tickle chicken will always run in a straight line towards you, however this may not work in Ark 2 do to likely AI improvements.

Oh yes tickle chicken make armour go away

Personally, I put this thing between Rex and spino on the danger level for new survivors. Rexes have a big aggro range, but they’re slow, and you can get away if you book it. Spinos have a much smaller aggro range, but you can run from em, and they’ll rip your inexperienced butt apart. Theris are the worst because you can get pretty close… close enough to think they won’t attack you…

WRONG.

They will attack you viciously, and since they’re not carnivores, they won’t stop attacking you unless something attacks it and gets closer than you are.

Personally, I challenged one with my raptor, and it killed my raptor and almost me. But guess what? A frickin Rex was frickin attacking the whole frickin time. It only ignored me once it killed my raptor.😭

This was early game. Now I have theris, and they are BRILLIANT gatherers. If you can tame one, tame it. They’re as strong as a rex but they can gather wood, thatch, berries and fiber, along with meat and hide. Plus, you get the saddle five levels earlier.

I’m trying to figure out if they do torpor too, because the edge of the screen turns pinkish purple when they hit me… maybe I’m the only one.

Anyway, good luck everyone!

Tip for beginners: a wolf in sheep's clothing

Looks cute but it will murder you, your friends, your dinosaurs and your whole server similar to Freddy from Nightmare on Elm street his victims in their dreams...

Stay safe, good luck survivor ;)

1.I would probably recommend tranquilizer darts and lots low or high

2. Either build a stone/metal trap or go stand on a high rock it cannot reach or climb

3. Make sure you have crops and bio toxin or narcotics (more than 100)

4. Shoot it with your tranquilizer darts

5. When it runs run after it shooting it

6. When unconscious feed it your crops

7. Stay near it because it torpor drops really fast

8.wait

9. Congratulations! You have a tickle chicken :)

10. Up if helpful to you if not just read it pls :)

This is from my experience in playing hardcore.

1. This fella can really navigate rough terrain. I was surprised that it even made it up a quite steep cliff. If u want to snipe it from atop, make sure ur standing spot's steepness is at least almost 90 degrees between the lower part of ur 'platform' and the ground. Any lesser will ensure this thing coming up for the kill. I survived but my level 51 Tapejara din't. He saved my life. 😭

2. Sometimes when u r tranquilizing it, all of a sudden it will appear like running away. But, don't be fooled. It does this to lure you down. Happened many times. If it really ran for more than 7 secs away from u, then it is really escaping due to the rising sleepiness. It has a high amount of torpor resist. So, don't expect an earlier catch. Usually takes me at least 10 arrows with a crossbow to attain a result.

3. I realized that Spinos are the best dinos to counter these tyrants due to their buff and knockbacks. If u manage to tame 1, should be no problem if u bump into these terror chicks. Their agro range is very short.

Hope this helps.

Need meat, hide, fiber, berries, thatch, wood, to clear out rexes, sarcos, spinos, etc, trophies, or to be a menace to society? The Tickle Chicken can help with that! Just not stone. The Tickle Chicken doesn’t like stone.

shoutout to you if you tamed a level 150 of these with crops

These guys are ruthless. They literally will not stop attacking yut and your Dino's. They are very powerful and annoying for most start- mid players.

For people wondering about the fact that the Therizinosaur eat vegetables, fruits, and etc. It used those girl-boss claws to grab bamboo, fruits, and etc from high areas.

Using mejos kept the Taming% fairly high. Make sure you stay on it with narcotics as its torpor goes down fairly quick. Not recommended to tame if you are not prepared with marcotics or to far from base if you are low. ~KT

Therizinosaurus Multiensis is way different than Therizinosaurus Cheloniformis.

Common Name: Therizinosaur

Species: Therizinosaurus Multiensis

Temperament: Aggressive

Time: Lived 70 mya

Therizinosaurus Multiensis is commonly mistaken for a predator because it isn’t docile. It’s long claws were ideal for killing and it’s health was above high. It’s sheer power alone helps it survive in the wild while it’s speed is pretty decent, making it one of the strongest dinosaurs that rivals Tyrannosaurus Rex. Therizinosaurus lives alongside other herbivores. Commonly, only one Therizinosaur lives in an area.

Domesticated

Therizinosaurus is not really challenging to tame, but is one of the most versatile mounts you can have. The long claws are great for gathering resources and it’s “tickle attack” sometimes describes it as a Tickle Chicken. Foraging is easy with the Therizinosaurus, but the Therizinosaurus was not interested in weight in the first place.

Traps: 2x2 roofless Stone Box with a wood ramp up one side and a door out the other. If you want it Therizinosaur-Proof, then you should make it out of metal. It is highly expensive, so I recommend you make it out of stone.

Taming: Search for a Therizinosaurus. Once you have spotted one, kill off any predator (even the Dilophosaur will attack the Therizinosaurus). Your tribe-mates could do this task while you start taming. Once you have attracted it’s attention, lead it to the stone box. Knocking it out with a fist or club is impossible. After, you can knock it out while it’s stuck in the box. Additional time (or misses) will let the Therizinosaur lose torpidity higher, so make sure you never let 5 seconds break in. When it’s knocked out, feed it with your food of choice. Remember that the Therizinosaurus’ torpor drains very quickly, so feed it a lot of narcotics. I have estimated that you need 65 narcotics for a lvl 5 Therizinosaur if you have a 3x taming boost. Once it is tamed, enjoy your tickle chicken. The saddle if you have not noticed is unlocked at lvl 69.

Note: For people who say this is nearly impossible to tame, it isn’t. Taming a Therizinosaurus is one of the best gifts you can have from the ARK. It will protect you from all dangers and ruthfully kill all enemies you have.

I was on my Sarco when I saw this thing, I had already lost a few dinos to one but I tried taking it anyway, sarco is okay tho

Tame a low level first so you can use the kibble for future therezino tames

So you decided to tame the Tickle Chicken huh, now here's what you need.

First build a trap, it's a must when you don't wanna risk dying. 4x4 trap with a ramp and STONE is a must. Sleep before taming or you will need a lot of Narcs because it's torpor drains fast. Bring Toxitant or Tranq arrow 40 to 50 depends on level, and use crossbow with good stats for faster knock. You won't need a lot of narcs to keep it down of you slept so feed it with Citronal for 90% up taming bonus. Kibble always makes things easier and faster if you have a female Sleepy Dino(Mobile). But citronal is a good taming food for this guys. Up so noob can see.
