How to tame a Chalicotherium in ARK Survival Ascended

The Chalicotherium belongs to a genus of odd-toed ungulates that existed in the Middle to Late Miocene eras. Similar to Gigantopithecus, it's a herbivore creature that is territorial in temperament, so it will become hostile when approached.

There are two taming methods in ARK Survival Ascended: non-violent and knock-out. As the Chalicotherium requires the non-violent taming method, you will need one of the following food items:

• Beer Jar
• Stimberries

Beer Jar is the recommended food item for taming a Chalicotherium, as it requires the least amount of time for the taming process while using this item. You also need a Ghillie Armor to sneak up to a Chalicotherium without turning it hostile.

To tame a Chalicotherium, place the Beer Jar on the last slot of your hotbar and approach it slowly. You can feed this creature once the prompt appears. It will take some time before it's hungry again. Refeed it until the taming meter is full to complete the taming process.
