Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a stegosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a stegosaurus.
Real me tame these with a bat and no trap!
Yeah there torpor drain is not low trust me
In mobile get traqs then start shooting but olny works on lvl 30 or 40
Then when u knock it out then feed it 400 or more berries no narco then
Wait a bit then its yours.
It has well balanced stats and is good to have around.
Guys this is how to tame: go on a rock higher so it won’t attack then shoot tranq arrows with crossbow then feed berrys
My gf and I have our own unofficial and are Duo running Lost Island PVE. We decided due to being so early game and the amount of carnivores being so high and resources being so low that a stego may be the way to go for a decently "tamed" encounter as for KOing and we brought roughly 50Tranq arrows and xbow each. We found a beauty of a level 130 and while we may have tamed her, we walked out with 1 broken crossbow, and about 20 arrows total.
Make a taming pen, aggro and run in, this will save you so much time and frustration if using Slingshot/Tranq Arrows. In the future we will build one for larger/beefier tames for sure. Bring minimum 75 tranq arrows for anything above level 100, if you don't use a pen keep at least 1 Stego length between you and your target tame and always for the head. When it runs, make sure to keep some distance so it doesn't loop around and begin smacking/man-handling you. Good luck, have fun and stay alive! UP SO ALL CAN SEE.
Tldr: Beware of high torpor. Bring extra ammo/supplies for knocking out/taming/surviving. Preferably build a medium sized ramp taming pen 3-high crows nest, 2 high walls and doorway for you to escape out of stone or better.
who tf kepps using traps just walk backwards damnit

Use rockarrot it goes so much faster
Lvl up their weight there very slow
I just got on top of my stone base and shot it till it was knocked out. On extinction
It did happen with a low level stego and a low level pachy but i knocked it out in one pachy ram. It was a very easy tame that way.
These guys are pretty stupid and slow their turn radius is kind of bad but that is nullified because of their attack which covers like 80% of their body so if ur gonna tame it do it from afar
Stegosaurs are amazing creatures. you should tame them get a lot of arrows and get on top of a high rock and shoot at it don’t kill though
Tip
Find a tall stone of cliff. That way it can’t hit you.
Then after you tranq it let it starve, I also used bio toxin.
And then give it rockarrot.
If you're not going to trap it, be prepared for a game of cat and mouse. Also make sure there is plenty of farming around. Snails move faster than a stego tames... =_=
I just made a 2 x 1 stone trap with wooden ramps on each side, shot the stego once, lead it into the trap, and shot it in the head with tranq darts amd rocks, and tamed with mejoberries (i couldnt make kibble because i was in a new map ☠️)
Theyre great starter tames on aberration. They help you farm berries and can deal with ravagers, they’re fairly tanky with a few levels into health and the saddle is accessible early game.
I am level 16 and I have a stego from slingshot and run slingshot and run.or if I didn’t… you died to stego level 7.
Don’t just walk back unless you are that fast go on top of a rock to make it easier and use sling shot
Remember to have plenty of berries
In Ragnarok, very common in the griffon area (ravine from about 40/30 to 40/50 and surrounding area) and the woods in top left (about 30/20 to 30/30 and up), tek ones too.
