I’ve noticed that it can deal damage to stone structures, but only his C/peck attack deals damage and even then it’s a small amount of damage depending on level.
Therizinosaurus
The Therizinosaurus (or "Tickle Chicken") is a swift, clawed herbivore prized for its versatility. Its specialized strikes make it an exceptional resource gatherer, while its strength makes it a powerful combat mount.

How ARK players tame and knock out the Therizinosaurus: what to feed it, what to knock it out with, and how to keep it safe.
I reccomend getting one person with about 150 movement, and one person on a raptor to draw agro. The person on foot use a crossbow and narco arrows, if you dont have a trap of course.
The key to tame almost every creature is to have a good high ground, like rocks, from there you can just tranq it and feed it berry or crops. I recommend using soothing balm too.
here's how to tame a therizino using a very cheap method - slider, a guy that just did this. Read through the end.

here's how to tame a therizino using a very cheap method - slider, a guy that just did this. Read through the end.
Materials needed:
a mount that you can stand on (stego, trike... I used a stego for this)
crossbow/longneck
about 100 tranp arrows/darts (you'll see why in a moment)
~75 crops
~187 narcotics
~450 narcoberries(black ones)
or it's preferred kibble
or 40-50 biotoxin(i didn't use biotoxin so I'm not sure how much you would need to use so bring extra just in case)
spino dossier location/a rock that the tickle chicken can't reach you on(tamed mine at spino dossier; or you can just use the mount you bring but make sure it has high health)
Steps:
1. With your mount scout for a tickle chicken and clear the area if your a bad shot like me
2. Bring your mount to the spino dossier and have them on passive, that is important. Set them up opposite of the actual dossier and on the other side of the ruins with the staircase
3. Jump onto that ruin, and then jump and walk forward into the taller part of that ruin(follow this step as I have written it because it is very important)
4. Look for that chicken and shoot it with your crossbow/longneck
5. While it's running towards you shoot it one more time before it gets up against the pillar you are on
6. When it gets to you start shooting it again
7.(It might not happen every time) When it starts running away stay up there because it can't hit you
8. Keep shooting it if it will run into the other side of the dossier and get stuck where you can shoot it until its knocked out once it does go down and put in your narcotics/biotoxin(the berries will come in at a later time while your taming) as well as the food you're goin to use, I used about 75 corn
9. Once your narcotics run out you'll need to put in your blackberries. IMPORTANT NOTE: it's best to feed the sleep drug 2 at a time a regularly. what I mean by this is feed it when its torpor is about to go below a certain number, ex: feed it twice before it goes below 400 or 500, the number doesn't really matter as long as you can keep it from waking up before it is tamed
10. After you run out of sleep drugs put the blackberries in, do the same thing I mentioned in step 9 but lower that number to about 150-200 if you don't have that many blackberries, if you have a stego feed all of your blackberries to it and hit some bushes with it you'll get a ton of berries and seeds. If you do have enough berries follow those instructions except for gathering more berries.
Before I continue onto stepp 11 I want to let anyone who's reading this tip that play on console/PC I got no clue if this works for you since I only play on mobile, you could try this but I don't know if it'll work and I would hate for you to lose your mount and life if it doesn't. Sorry😔.
11. If you get bored of waiting like me you could do the sleep trick and skip the time but you might want to trap the theri so it doesn't get killed by anything after it tames
12. Name you tickle chicken
13. put saddle on tickle chicken if you have the materials for one or if you got one from daily gift
14. tickle some random creatures
Locations:
Spino dossier is across from herbivore island on the cliff part of it.
Extra notes:
If it turns the other way(away from the corner) chase it until you knock it out using whatever gets it stuck.
I am lvl 32/33 and I just did this if you're wondering if this is just a false tip or an actual helpful tip.
If you don't have a saddle already made or don't have blueprints don't worry just play the game how you normally would and you might get a blueprint from the daily gift or until you reach lvl 69.
This was how to tame a therizino with your guide, slider. Have a great time taming and good luck👍🏾👍🏾.
Really high rock, two crossbows, about 120 arrows. They have this juke where they pretend to run away and the moment you hop down to chase they will come running back to attack. Would recommend high movement.
Sit on the back of a high level thyla and lazer it with tanks or shocking tanks trust me this is the easiest way to knock these monsters out
I would recommend going to the green obolisk to know I one out! If you have an Argentavis, definitely bring that, also be sure it has high health/melee damage, because there are lots of theris at the obolisk, and if you really want that theri ya got, then ya might just wanna…
I would recommend going to the green obolisk to know I one out! If you have an Argentavis, definitely bring that, also be sure it has high health/melee damage, because there are lots of theris at the obolisk, and if you really want that theri ya got, then ya might just wanna kill off some of the others before they kill you.
Also, if you are on mobile, swipe down to collect berries/ wood and swipe up to do the theri’s 2nd attack!
Just climb a high rock and shoot prehistoric bird with teeth and claws with tranq arrows you will need 20-30 for low lvl
Tip: use a wood trap if you don't have a stone trap (surprising if you're trying to tame one at that level) also shoot fast so he knocks out before he breaks the trap
You don't even need a trap for it it is very very slow you go to the high ground and shoot it with tranq arrows or tranqulizer dart it will easily knock down but you have to give him like 200 bio toxin because it will wake up very very fast
Just tamed on today, got on top of my stone house and shot it, it eventually fell asleep then the hard part happened I took out a moschops and was gathering narcos and make norcotics I did that for like 2 hours and now I have one tomorrow it will probably be gone cause my tribe…
Just tamed on today, got on top of my stone house and shot it, it eventually fell asleep then the hard part happened I took out a moschops and was gathering narcos and make norcotics I did that for like 2 hours and now I have one tomorrow it will probably be gone cause my tribe mates are stupid. Up if you think I should get another.
If you see that killer turkey run away or get a tanky tame or that turkey will obliterate you just hide behind any carnivore
It will divert its attention
How to tame at level 31
get a large bear trap and 4 wood billboards
Place 3 wood billboards adjacent but turn them 90 degrees for each bill board like a unfinished box and place the bear trap at the far side of the trap from the opening and lead the theri into the bear trap…

Climb on a huge stone near it and use tranq arrows
Lol one therizinosaurus looks exactly like a peacock, LITERALLY just tamed it and it’s absolutely beautiful 🤩. Green back, blue main body color, and white underside. AAAAAHAHA. And the real tip, these guys are ultimate wood collectors and powerful powerhouses on high…
Lol one therizinosaurus looks exactly like a peacock, LITERALLY just tamed it and it’s absolutely beautiful 🤩. Green back, blue main body color, and white underside. AAAAAHAHA. And the real tip, these guys are ultimate wood collectors and powerful powerhouses on high level. They can defeat alpha raptors if strong enough with the level recommended 30-40, unless if you guys used it on melee damage and health then probably lower, recommended on the TRAPPING way with stone structures (2 by 2 foundation, 2 walls high that surrounds the foundation , 4 wood ramps on one side for it to get trapped, and make sure to add a single door doorway on the bottom of one side for you to escape. I guess you can have any tame with you on passive near you but not to close to you, and put EVERYTHING in the tame and put your tame tall rock or cliff (make sure it’s safe!!) so you don’t have to retrieve your stuff in case it kills you trying to lead it in the trap. After trapping in any strategy to get it in, whistle your tame to you get your tranqs and start taking it out! I think you know what to do after it’s knocked out. Good luck on taming this dangerous chicken!

I use 16 stone pillars in a box formation and stack it 2 high with a large bear trap works decently well and is pretty cheap. You could only it use only 8 pillars and a large bear trap to make it cheaper. All you have to do is setup the box and leave it open put bear trap in…
I use 16 stone pillars in a box formation and stack it 2 high with a large bear trap works decently well and is pretty cheap. You could only it use only 8 pillars and a large bear trap to make it cheaper. All you have to do is setup the box and leave it open put bear trap in the middle and have it chase you into the trap and simply slip through the gap in between the pillars and when it’s stuck in the trap go behind it and use the last 2-1 pillars I have and seal it in. Works great I’ve used this trap for other tames such as wooly rhinos and a yutyranus probably works for rex’s too.
Stand on a tall rock and shoot his face.
More words...
These thing are annoying to tame they eat so slow there torpor drains so fast they knock you out on your mount and kill it I just recommend kibble because it takes so long and you cant leave it for one second because it’s torpor.
Use a large bear trap to get it stuck and just start spamming those arrows, these guys are great at damaging threats and can get you wood and thatch for building
Make a 3x3 stone floor surrounded with 2*height double door frame. This will make a cage that you can enter and get out simply but not the therizino. Then add some rams/stairs leading into the cage. Lure the therizino into the cage and knock it out easily with tranquil arrow.…
