What is a therizinosaurus used for? therizinosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
This furry, vegan Rex is one of the few practically essential tames in ark - the reason being it’s ability to harvest thatch, fibre and wood. To tame it is somewhat of a chore, but with patience it’s a tame worth the time.
You’ll need it’s kibble, vegetables or mejoberries - for some reason mejos are better than other berries. If you trap it, you’ll have to know that you can use stone despite its ability to damage such buildings however can’t harvest it - stupid. You’ll need some torpor-inducing items like narcotics or narcoberries at the least - use bio toxin if you need to.
Trap it or knock it out wildly which way you prefer, then wait - starve taming is a good tactic to avoid spending recourses only for the taming effectiveness to be ruined by some random titanomyra drone that spawned in. This is avoided with starve taming so that the creature can keep its effectiveness until you need to tame it. Feed it what you have and this tickle chicken can terrorize more parts of the map it’s on.
I know they’re good for the dragon on PC and console - I’m a mobile player but I do know they are used in the battle in preference to carnivores, and their saddle is unlocked at level 69 - *insert joke relating to haha funny number.*
That’s about it, but one more thing - they have a special drop, therazino claws which I am unsure of the use of - maybe they’re used for boss tributes in PC and console, but I find no use for them in mobile as I doubt they can be placed on pedestals and honestly.
Why would would you put them on a pedestal.
Why would you do that.
Nice waste of obsidian and space.
Fool.
You think a megatherium is good? Well, say bye-bye! Because the theri is your next best dinosaur! (Apart from rex, bronto, etc.) theirs can harvest wood, thatch, all 5 types of meat, chitin, berries, charcoal, and lots more! (I think charcoal idk.) they are awesome for base defense and raiding other enemy players! So throw out your megatherium, and say hello to your new theri friend!
Great Battle Mount, especially for the dragon as the dragon’s fire breath attack melts away 25% of all carnivores’ health meaning rexes and spinos are no-go’s however 18 of these health and melee mutated battle chickens will wreak havoc! (Make sure they each have a stack of veggie cakes to consume during the battle as veggie cakes work like raw meat for carnivores so they heal as they’re consumed). A Yutyrannus and Daedon (With Passive Healing Of Course) will help buff your army to dwindle away the Dragon’s HP Bar. Hope you found this helpful.
One of the best resource gathering Dinos in the game.to be honest I accidentally shot my first one out trying to knockout raptors( yes it aggro on me but I knock it out before it gets close.)and figured oh might as well tame it. Though you should tame it on a pteranodon using a rifle, not on a high rock where it cannot get you with a crossbow with tranq arrows like me ( its risky i had 240 tranq arrows but u may not have that many.) It rivals tyrannosaurus in sheer power and while my first one was tamed at player lvl 35,other players will end up taming it when you learn its saddle at lvl 69. Hope that helped those who are having problems with these fluffy dinos tearing your wooden stuff up and slaying all ur dinos early on
Wild ones are still the best for raiding and Greifing that one guy who killed you dodo 🦤. Just lead a therizino to their base and get them to aggro on the structures. (Note, this will only work with thatch, wood 🪵, Adobe, and stone structures). Good luck and avenging your lost dodo 🦤.
