What is a triceratops used for? triceratops battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Trikes have a boost near large creatures and they are very good for hunting as their attack reach is high so no predator can ussualy reach it. I’ve killed a couple of alpha raptors, t-Rex, carno, barynoxys and other animals without taking any significant damage. I suggest to upgrade its Melle and stamina.
Trike is the first good tame you gonna do.
Farmer: Its the best early tame for berries, thatch, wood.
Fighter: Can kill everything smaller than rex-allosaurus with the knockback, so when you get trike the only fear is bronto (dont try fight bronto with it) . And much important, it is one of the few tames that dmg almost in every side of it, front-left-right and UP, doing it a decent fighter against birds too, if i could bring it on caves that no jump needed i wouldn't ask for another tame ever (killing bats)
The downside: its difficult to tame. 1) on hit and run he's gonna outrun you (and other trikes help him too), 2) On 'find a spot and throw him rocks (slingshot) seems good but after he got much torpidity it will run away fast on forest or sea and never see him again 3) Trapping him between wood walls-doorframes would work only if you play on 0-30 levels of creatures, in other case it will fck the wooden building immediately. And stone buildings are very far away when you start game
To sum up, no matter the difficulty of taming, its the best early game you gonna get and i mean it.
Trikes are good tames in general. This thing has your back if you need thatch or berries. Personally, I use it when moving to a new area because it can deal with predators pretty easily and it can carry all my stuff. They’re great base defenders too. Wild Trikes also have a feature where when there is a large predator nearby (Rex,Spino) their head with glow red.
Hope this helped!
The Trike is highly underrated. Although slow, it will allow you to journey to relatively dangerous areas early on. With good knock-back on its primary attack, it can knock raptors and theris back without taking a single hit. Just watch that Stamina! You can also kill rexes and take only a few hits.
Level up Stamina and/or melee on the Trike and you will have a great start to your new ARK game!
Tamed my first one not to long ago after multiple attempts (it fell into a trap I placed before I could lead it there myself). It's even more op when it comes to farming wood then my tek parasuar (RIP teky). One attack in a grove of trees gave several hundred wood and over 2k thatcher.
The guy who said that they can’t face down a theri, i took the time and leveled up my trike (Ella) until level 26 or smth, and it did face down a theri, almost without any taken damage! So if you are looking for a defender, ypu are in the right place! Also i have to mention that mine did face down a theri, when i was riding it! But it is possible!!
Do NOT underestimate these guys as a combat mount. If you find one that a good level and put some points into melee and health, it can kill most things you come across, even alpha raptors and potentially alpha carnos. They’re also good berry gatherers and great at gathering thatch! All round a great mount that anyone should tame
Definitely a tame to get in early or Midgame Lvl 30-60. if you still haven't got any good stuff or strong companions to protect yourself then you should probably get a triceratops. This thing is a beast. A tanky killing machine. I was able to dominate the whole island than I can't before. When I got this beast, it carried my in-game progress, I leveled up faster because I can kill everything except those Spinos and other Stronger dinos. Your survival rate is higher with this beast on Medium difficulty island. The areas like Swamps and at the Large trees is a no problem for you. If you get a high level Of this guy like 70-100, dominate everything you want. Put alotta points in health and melee and Mount this bad boy and spam attacks on the dangerous monsters you encounter on some areas, you'll be safe. (Avoid Spino, Dire bear, Alpha Dinos, Etc.) Lastly, Don't be confident to who you charging at. (Up for newbies to see.)
I like the idea of the trike spear but I think it should be called the trike glaive because the spear and pike have a more straight metal/flint tip but the trikes horn is curved and the glaive tip is more curved like the trikes horn so credits to the person who made the trike spear
