ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Never aim for their head, they have better protection there you,ll be wasting your tranq arrows.
Best creature in ark
The trike is really easy to tame and find, in fact after 2 hours of reading wiki it was my first dino. Not dodo, not parasaur, not dilo, not moschops(I’m in mobile moschops are useless)
As a early tame it is awesome as it is quite fast and has amazing damage. It is quite tanky and harvests a lot of berries.
Now for uses:
Transportation: a strong & moderately fast mount that provides food and materials on the way
Berry: farms way way more than parasaur or iguano, and faster than anky stego.
Turret soaker: the dmg reduction on head is amazing.
In conclusion in the early game 2nd best tame after moschops
Trikes Usually found on beaches
The best way to tame trikes are crossbow and tranq arrows go on a rock start shooting until knocked out then feed berrys wait then all yours NAME HIM TRIKEY OK
Do not shoot in the head it takes only 15% of damage to the head
Tamed this idiot and use it against his kind.
This thing has some crazy knock back it can kill alpha raptors easily and mid level alpha carnos
The best way to utilize the trike when tamed or untamed when tamed it can gather loads of berries for you or when it's untamed you can use it as a shield for instance like a carno is running after you and there's a trike try to run for the trike to get the carno to fight the trike so you can escape unharmed
**Killing it without using a weapon**
1️⃣ Build a “wooden spikewall”.
2️⃣ Find and hit to lure your dino in to the trap.
3️⃣ It will unalive it self by trying to catch you through the spikewall
On mobile, there is a glitch where when you put carrots and mejoberries in its inventory it will take one second between taming intervals.
If you use the charge attack in a forest, they will get a lot of thatch but will get encumbered so beware of predators. Also, the turning radius is increased when charging and you can’t get berries when charging. Maybe this is helpful for lower level players. Thanks for reading and make sure to try it out
Don’t even think about the egg... they will frickin Yeet and delete you. I learned it the hard way.
Things to remember about the Trike:
-Do not pick up it's egg (or any other dino's egg if the parent is near)
-Do not aim for the head, aim for the body
-Tranq Arrows seem to work better than slingshots (but if you want to use slingshots, be sure to bring tons of stone)
If you are new you must tame. But there is a fool proof way. Just make a wood taming pen and you should be good. But make a ramp over it to shoot at it from above. ( I know from experience) early game tame but I was scared to tame it at first then when I got the courage I got him. So don’t be scared
Like most big creatures, it can get stuck on trees. Weave between trees and shoot at them with notrouble. They might sometimes try to turn around to get unstuck though.
Alot of people are saying to trap them but its a bit more simpler than that. If you want to tame one then you should craft a slingshot and then find a lonely trike (If you try to tame one when there is two both will attack) then slingshot him in the body. To not get flung by them run round in circles, they are very slow but can launch you.
Easy to tame and good starter pet to farm Berry's
