Your Pocket Triceratops Taming Guide
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some info-
Ah, the trike. Your trusty early-game berry gatherer and a surprisingly strong (and surprisingly slow!) mount. You've probably tamed one before, but if you haven't, you've come to the right place.
Taming-
I would recommend using tranq arrows or darts, although you shouldn't really need to tame a trike by the time you unlock tranq darts. Get up somewhere high (But be careful as trikes can climb better than you'd think) or get it stuck between two trees. If you want you could use a trap, but it shouldn't be nessesary. As for taming food, my choice would be mejoberries. They're easier to obtain than crops and actually tame it quicker! You'll need 85 mejoberries for a level 150. As for narcotics, you'll need to bring some, no matter what level you're going after.
Saddling and Stats-
Good bulky tames with a high health stat. Stamina is average, and is the one I put the most points into. Saddle is simply made from hide, wood and fibre (I think).
Breeding-
I haven't written a section on breeding one of these guides before, and I don't know too much about trike breeding, so don't take my word as fact. One thing you'll need, berries. Trike eggs can be hatched under 3-4 standing torches and are herbivores (obviously). You should be able to give the hatchling a few stacks of berries and forget about it.
I hope this guide helped someone today. If you liked, please consider sharing it with friends!

A lvl 20 trike can kill anything when your on the saddle if your not riding it then a lvl 1 raptor will be able to kill it put a saddle go to an alpha or rex spino and the trike will be able to obliterate it lvl melee and health to get the most powerful trike my trike tri horn can kill megs underwater I don’t what’s going on but trikes are underrated
If you get in a fight with a couple of trikes, you'll see their head is adorned with 3 spikes, but there's no need to fear, just attack from the rear whilst using a really long pike.
I just killed a Rex with this guy he's a absolute war machine
So this is all that I know about uses of trikes
1: they are good for protection even if wild and could be in groups of 3
2: they have red heads if there's a spino/rex/giga so run
3: you can spam attack so it can take on rexes
4: very tanky if you pump health into it
5: easy tame so you can always get one even if you noob
6: can give horn thingy so you can make saddles
7: can swim fast in water (out run's megs)
8: has a stun attack so you can hit and run
Now for weakness:
1: raptors can dis mount you
2: can't kill spinos
3: slow
4: not that useful in late game
That's all I know :written by dragonii
👆 For noobs to see and learn the uses
Yall told me and I didnt listen. Note to self, leave the damn eggs alone!
A triceratops is a very special dinosaur in this game. It is easy enough to tame at a low level, yet powerful enough to take on raptors that could kill you easily. It can collect enough berries that you would never go hungry again, and still have some berries leftover to help tame more trikes. They are very slow but it can make up for it if you increase the weight, attack, and stamina stats. It is an extremely good pack animal because it can carry a lot, but still defend itself, especially if it is in a large group. Overall, the triceratops is one of my favorite and most versatile dinosaurs.
Make a trap get tranqs shoot it lol it’s simple or even use trees to trap
For those dealing with the same thing as me, finding 2 or several together. Trikes defend themselves in packs so don't try to tame one when it's nearby.
The ideal is to arrest the one you want to tame and kill the other so there are no more complications. They are slow and run out of stamina quickly, so just attack, run a little and finish him off.
DON'T STEAL A TRIKE EGG!!!!! I learnt it the hard way.
How to tame
1: bola your friend when he isn’t looking
2: hit the trike
3: stand behind the friend
3A: Watch him kill your friend
4: hit the trike with tranqs until it falls
Make sure you don't shoot it in the head, it has a reduced torpidity output so it costs a lot more arrows/stone to knock it out.
There’s this really high level Trike that spawned near my base. I have it trapped already but there’s one issue- there’s another trike that goes all Aggro on me whenever I use the slingshot on the targeted trike. They’re both the same gender.. any tips? What can I do to get rid of the other trike?
They are easy first get slow level if you are start game. Preferably a lvl1 to a lvl 10. Then knock it out with a slingshot or tranqs. I run in circles and knock it out. After that let starve for 3-5 minutes then feed green kibble ,crops , or mejos. After that give either narco berries or narcotics. Then you got a trike.
Trike is a good starter dino.You can kill enemies with him very fast and u can farm berries like nothing.
You can make one unconscious by standing on a big rock and hitting it with a slingshot
