Tips & Strategies

Once this monstrosity came up to my door step killed my Parasaurolophus,23 diblos,and my day one dodo
shoutout to you if you tamed a level 150 of these with crops
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.
I know most of you are here because you can’t find a way to not get ripped to shreds by this thing. A few days ago, my brother and I were around level 25 on the south of the island and kept seeing these menacing tickle chickens. These guys were murdering our pets at night and stalking us from 200 meters during the day. One time, one came particularly close to our house, and we had to improvise. We went on our fortified raft (no we didn’t just run away) and my brother started shooting mr tickle. He didn’t like that so he followed us out to the sea. We saw a group of Megaladons nearby and had mr tickle follow us straight into the big chompers of 4 megaladons. He was never to be seen again. Megaladons don’t flat out attack you if you’re on a raft so we’ve found that to be the best way to take care of the tickle chicken at a low level and have done it every time we see one.
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
I'am the guy who made a tip that I hate them that because they killed my 140 pterandon they raided my base and almost killed me but my sarco and turtle and my pack of high level dilos and my para and pachy killed him don't get me wrong I like them and they're good gatherers but they're always aggressive and they spawn alot in mobile one up=one pray to my best pterandon
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 ;)
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
Since my first day on Ark, this thing has terrorized me. He just walks around my base, completely destroys it and kills every dinosaur I own. So I wanted to get revenge and tame him. Most awful experience I ever had in my life but hey, now I have this thing standing infront of my base doing absolutely nothing all day.
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.
Me: Tries to kill a lv 4 of these with a lv 74 Spino
Theri: Does at least 5,000 damage to me
Spino: Has only around 16,000 health “ouch”
Me: Thought that would be a easy opponent since I destroyed everything in my way barely taking damage from them
To the npc who posted a awful taming method but somehow got over 1100 likes, a theri requires 275 narcotics per hour and a high level will be a 8 hour tame using mejoberries, no one cares that you play with 20x taming and dino lvl cap 10, on official settings a lvl 150 must be tamed with the appropriate amount of exceptional kibble, with a heavy stockpile of narcotics, must be trapped while knocking out or it will rupture your guts. Pls do not read npc posted tips unless you play with their settings...
IMPORTANT FOR NOOBS
It is not passive, any attempt to interact with it will result in your death
This dinosaur can kill anything in it's path..... Those fingers are no joke folks...
I play on mobile, I relocated my base do to dodo breeding, yes I like breeding dodos I have abt 20. This tickle chicken is across the river, I'm scared to try taming it.
Make sure you have 200-300 narcotics for taming, I tried and almost got 97% but my all narcotics is gone I truly lost everything make sure my was lv 25
IM SO MAD RIGHT NOW!!! this thing killed my pteranodon and my dodos and my turtle thing I feel like crying.
