Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a therizinosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a therizinosaurus.
Once you get it knocked out make sure you have a few hundreds of narcs cause keeping him down is the real problem
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.
1.I would probably recommend tranquilizer darts and lots low or high
2. Either build a stone/metal trap or go stand on a high rock it cannot reach or climb
3. Make sure you have crops and bio toxin or narcotics (more than 100)
4. Shoot it with your tranquilizer darts
5. When it runs run after it shooting it
6. When unconscious feed it your crops
7. Stay near it because it torpor drops really fast
8.wait
9. Congratulations! You have a tickle chicken :)
10. Up if helpful to you if not just read it pls :)
shoutout to you if you tamed a level 150 of these with crops
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
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.
Tame a low level first so you can use the kibble for future therezino tames
One of the first dinos I always tame early on in the game even tho saddle is up there. It's always a good early game defense and offense just do this steps to get one early on.
-Kill a bunch of animals for meat and store em somewhere to spoil, the more the better.
-tame yourself a parasaur and ride it to collect unlimited narcoberries.
-craft a ton of Narcotics for tranq arrows and to keep theri sleep.
- make a trap with stone door frames and stairs
- aggro a theri and have it chase you to the trap.
-knock out your newly caught theri and give it tons of Berries(depends on level)
-once tamed name it and go on a Killing spree while you gather the resources you need for a base.
- there you got yourself a deadly pet chicken.
Hey guys, king raptor and to immobilize the theri use big bear traps
So you decided to tame the Tickle Chicken huh, now here's what you need.
First build a trap, it's a must when you don't wanna risk dying. 4x4 trap with a ramp and STONE is a must. Sleep before taming or you will need a lot of Narcs because it's torpor drains fast. Bring Toxitant or Tranq arrow 40 to 50 depends on level, and use crossbow with good stats for faster knock. You won't need a lot of narcs to keep it down of you slept so feed it with Citronal for 90% up taming bonus. Kibble always makes things easier and faster if you have a female Sleepy Dino(Mobile). But citronal is a good taming food for this guys. Up so noob can see.
If you meet this thing in the wild as a beginner survivor, don't hesitate, just run
Those animals are killers.
The first hit is to destroy your armor,
Second hit to kill you
Hey, I was chilling just making my base until this guy just spawned out of nowhere. I’m like oh hell no I’m gonna get my tranquilizer and I heard that he broke something but then I went back to my base. Nothing was broken so but you guys gotta watch out this guy a menace.
I tried to tame on foot it went crazy and killed me 4 times until I finally got a trap this guy is a beast but why kill me when he eats berries
Aka "Freddy Krueger Dodo"
I literally brought 1k narco. I'm taming it right now. Hope it's enough!
Its the most aggressive herbivore, so be careful ! It's a classic knock out and it eats berries or megalosaurus kibble which I really recommend because the tame takes a veeery long time. It also loses torpor quite fast so you're gonna need a lot of narcotics. But once it's tames, you got a real beast: it can mess up against the rex and is a farming machine. Leftclick for wood and thatch, rightcklick for fiber and "c" for berries. It's the first herbivore that harvests bodies: leftclick for meat and hide etc. And "c" for only hide. You can increase the amount of gathered ressources by leveling up, similar to the moschops.
I always carry a Large Pillar and some Ceilings on my Argy. If I see any big dinos worth taming I place the pillar and the ceilings on it, land on it and just tranq safely from there. Just make sure your flyer doesn't go flying in front of the dino. Also, as usual, get ready to run after the dino before the last shot. So probably better to clear out the area first if you can.
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!
The best way is to starve tame it and you better have alot of bio toxin that is how I did it and get high ground! in mobile version
