Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a therizinosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a therizinosaurus.
Be careful he can walk through a doorframe if you try trapping him… I learned the hard way
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👍🏾👍🏾.
Therizinosaurs, or tickle chicken, is very territorial and does lots of damage.
A good strategy is to stand on top of a very steep rock or a small cliff and start shooting. Make sure that it's steep enough so that the therizino won't climb over it.
Another strategy is to lure him into a 2x2x2 trap. Make sure that it's made out of stone, or metal if you can afford it.
When it's down, feed him berries or crops. Make sure to bring hundreds of narcotics, because the therizino's torpor drops quickly.
Once tamed, you probably don't have to worry about him dying, as it's power rivals theropods like the rex or the spinosaur.
They take megalosaurus kib and are very long tames, it's the standard knock out and tame, be prepared for a fight
I have no idea how but I got one with 40 mejo berries and 10 tranc arrows but I gues I'm op now
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.
People heavily overestimate how difficult these are to tame. Just use 4 metal billboards and a large bear trap. This will only cost you 146 metal ingots, 40 cementing paste, 10 hide and 15 fiber. If you demolish it afterwards it will cost half that number. The taming effectiveness barely goes down when you use mejoberries, so use those. Do not feed it narcotics, feed it mejoberries instead. The reason for this is; the torpidity on narcoberries goes up slower than narcotics, this means they will keep the therizino asleep for a longer time period. The saddle for it is unlocked at level 69 (nice), and that's all you need to know.
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.
All I did was made a stone structure of 2x4 made stone walls 2 walls high agroed it got it in the trap left it there for 2 in game days came back knocked it all it's hunger was down so it tamed immediately with some rocky karrats
shoutout to you if you tamed a level 150 of these with crops
I had no problem when knoking out the same thera that attcked my base i just made 30 tranq arrows and knoked out with like 20+ arrows and i DIDINT EVEN MAKE NARCOTICS CAUSE i have biotoxin when i was taming i wasted 200+ BIOTOXIN ON THIS THING TO TAME IT
Up these for NOOBS!
Lemme tame him.
Wait should I.....
Good tame, recommend making a stone trap for it.
Just don't even go near it, it will hunt you down and fondle your family.
Tame a low level first so you can use the kibble for future therezino tames
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
Tip: Bring LOADS of narcotics, it's torpor drops quickly and it takes long to tame too
Ark mobile players
Soothing balm+no food exploit+crops=fast and easy tame
I was playing the game and, due to previous near-death encounters, I was absolutely terrified of the tickle chicken. I decided to take a risk and tame it, so I flew up on a cliff using my pterodon, shot it, missed a lot, and repeated. This took me multiple tries on several different cliffs. I finally tamed it after what felt like forever. Later I knocked another one out with the same strategy, and extanged my pterodon for my other therizino. When I got off my therizino, right next to the sleeping tickle chicken, this MONSTER decided to wake up. Luckily I got on my high level tickle chicken, I was able to kill it. I’m still terrified of these savages.
If you eat berries.. then why do u feel the need to SLAUGHTER everything for no reason
