How do I kill a therizinosaurus? therizinosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
RUN LIKE HELL unless you enjoy getting your master craft flak armour getting torn to shreds
If you see it and it starts chasing you go in the opposite way of your base if your near because then it won't kill any of your dinos
These guys are a big threat to early players, especially when on the island. I made my base on Craggs island and had to constantly keep watch on a Therizino that kept getting close to me and my dilophosaurs. What I noticed is that they have a pretty far wander range at times. I bumped into it once in the trees and it was able to keep up with me anywhere on Craggs island and I had more than enough movement speed to get away from raptors. My point being that you gotta watch out on the beaches because they seem to spawn almost anywhere really
Don’t go close to this thing or you will die and make sure it can’t reach you when your tameing it
The first thing you will see is a discount Rex running after you the next thing you see is a white light😂
They can topor me bruh after hit
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
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
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.
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
I've seen an alpha and battled it. I died
I’ve noticed that they always comes at the wrong time and kills you in 2 shots
Now these big chickens just waltz around and just booed to smell you once and instantly hate you. Today marks the sad death of my beloved Nacho the otter because of a level 125 Therizino. Poor little Nacho
This is one of the reasons why I wear a ghillie suit everywhere I go. The ghillie suit ensures you can live even when your tames are dead
Got murdered by this thing thinking “it doesn’t look aggressive since I’m this close already “ 😅. Finally caught a raptor after this and decided I want no parts of mr/mrs tickle chicken. On the way back to my base after a failed attempt at a pursuit ran into a carno in a place a thought was safe, raptor and 3 dilos made short work of it. Thought to myself “ phew close call let me log off for a bit “ literally 5 seconds later I’m almost to my base ( which is located on the beach beside a tall cliff and some boulders) guess who decides to fall off the cliff right behind my base and next to my trike?!? Slaughtered my trike , then my raptor that ran to defend it 😭😢😢. If you see this thing run it’s what nightmares are made of.
Do not encounter unless you are armored or you have an army of levael 15 raptor whith one at 20 to get a pack boost
