Quick answer:<\/strong> To tame a Therizinosaur in ARK Survival Ascended you knock it out with tranquilizers and feed it Exceptional Kibble or, without kibble, Vegetables or Mejoberries. A level 150 one needs 20 Exceptional Kibble, about 261 Narcotics and roughly 1 h 8 min at official 1x rates; on Tharyon, with 8x taming, 3 kibble and about 10 minutes are enough.<\/p>\n

The Therizinosaur is a huge herbivore with very long claws that fights like a predator. Besides being a tough combat mount, it gathers almost everything: wood, thatch, fiber, berries, silk and seeds. That makes it one of the most useful mid-game tames.<\/p>\n

How to tame a Therizinosaur step by step<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Prepare the food: Exceptional Kibble if you can; otherwise lots of Vegetables or Mejoberries, plus a big stack of Narcotics.<\/li>\n
  2. Build a 2x2x2 stone trap or use a Large Bear Trap or Chain Bola so it cannot reach you.<\/li>\n
  3. Get close until it turns hostile, lead it into the trap and shoot it in the head with darts or tranq arrows.<\/li>\n
  4. Once it is asleep, put only the food you want it to eat into its inventory.<\/li>\n
  5. Check its torpor often: it drops fast, so give it Narcotics or Narcoberries regularly.<\/li>\n
  6. Guard it from predators until the tame finishes so you do not lose effectiveness.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These numbers come from ARK’s taming formula for a level 150 Therizinosaur. The 1x column is the official rate and the 8x column is Tharyon’s rate. They are estimates: hitting the sleeping creature or a game patch can change them slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    A level 150 Therizinosaur has about 9195 torpor. With the amounts in the table you usually do not need narcotics on Tharyon, but bring a few in case it takes longer than expected.<\/p>\n

    Where to find the Therizinosaur in ARK Ascended<\/h2>\n
