So I’m being attacked by a therazinosaur and I’m only level 13 WHAT DO I DO?!?

They are fast so if you run turn a lot it helps trust me it saved my life

It will not take an eternity to tame this without a kibble I tamed one in 20 minutes with the 3x balm and corn AND ITS WORTH IT.

I ran in to it and it destroyed me and part of my base

When I Encountered It i Hit It With My Bow And Ran Then Cowered Behind A "giant turtle" (forgot srry) and waited and once it hit the turtle it was being hit by 3 yes 3 things cause another "giant turtle" came around so yea that helps

So this thing is strong and frightening but if you set some greater bear traps and run and shoot you can knock it out. Just don't let it come to close or it will take you down.

If you see this and are good with an gun kill it in 10 shots or die if you do not kill

Giv big chikn hug, it love hug :)

These things seem to not notice you if you are sprawling, that is the easiest way to escape a therizino.

I'll tell you kibble is a pain in the ass to make especially for therzino but it's so god I'm glad I took the time to make it

DON'T SPAWN A NEW SURVIVOR/BUILD YOUR FIRST BASE ON SOUTH BEACH 3. If you see one of these, RUN. Serpentine between and behind rocks and structures to get out of its line of sight, these things run FAST. They spawn directly north of South Beach 3 in the forest, up the hill. I made this mistake repeatedly on my first save in hard mode and had to start over, kited it to my base from lack of hiding places to weave through... couldn't stay alive long enough to build a second thatch hut or put an extra sleeping bag down. Got spawn camped and never attacked it but people aren't joking when they say these stupid things are territorial as hell. And they easily wander onto the beach. Had tames in the base and Theri was aggroed after I died so it killed all my tames and destroyed my storage area in the process. Don't be stubborn like I was. Move and start over.

Additionally for South Beach 3 raptors become a huge issue since you're directly next to a forest biome spawn area. Spawn or stay at South Beach 2 near the sand bank and worst you'll deal with is Dilophosaurs on the coast stalking Dodos which can be taken down with bolas, clubbed and fed as quick guard pets; plenty of rocks to climb to have high ground as well and flat area for easy base expansion. Don't wander too far into the surrounding forest without building alternate camps *WITH BEDS AND EXTRA WALL LAYERS during the "South of the Island" Pursuit or you could meet Kruger Chicken (Theri) again, or rarely but potentially, you could meet face to face with a hungry Spino near the river by the cave. Build a lot of hiding places to weave through to get out of its line of sight if you get chased.

Wait until you're much stronger, better equipped and well off enough to even attempt to tame one - and no, you can not club them, you need basic technology, don't be a caveman. They eat berries despite stabbing you to death (I thought it was a carnivore at first), you'll need stacks of them. Use tranq arrows, stone tier walls or higher for trapping, a good high ground to shoot tranqs, and a tonne of narcotics/bio toxins or you will be impaled by a very unhappy Edward Scissorhand. They're very useful as tames once you get enough resources to kidnap one from the wild.

- Died on the beach

They are great at harvesting and taming them is easy you just need a rifle and traq darts or shocking ones the shocking ones work the most and also get some savorroot and do not forget narcotics I learned that the hard way

Once knocked out, a Theri's torpor level drops significantly fast. A great counter measure for this is to use bio toxin, which is acquired from killing jellyfish

This Tickle chicken is deadly you can use a quetz to pick it up and be careful because its torpor drops quickly and its food drains slowly.

A stone pillar trap 3 wide 5 long bear trap in the middle make it two high if on uneven ground

I've seen an alpha and battled it. I died

If you dont have a Theri saddle, you can also farm wood or fiber, making him attack trees and shrubs presing L1 / LB and up (in D-pad) aiming a tree.

These guy are probably your best bet for wood gathering

A mammoth used to be my go to for wood gathering but the theri is much better. Plus boss fighting capability

Great berry and fiber harvesters!(if you manage to tame one)

I’ve noticed that they always comes at the wrong time and kills you in 2 shots
