For all the people who have just started and they are looking around clueless, then here’s how to knockout tame triceratops easily.
Items needed:
-Compound Bow/Crossbow
-Tranq arrows
-A supply of berries (3+)
-Lvl 5+ (surprisingly easy beginner tame, unlike a carnivore)
-About 45-60s total of stamina
-Narcotics/narcoberries (if needed)
-Trike Saddle
How to:
1. First, you position yourself at a safe but sufficient point away from the triceratops.
2. Equip your compound bow or crossbow and load it with tranq arrows.
3. Fire the first arrow.
4. When the triceratops starts chasing you, run away until it stops and walks calmly.
5. Repeat the process until the triceratops is unconscious.
6. While the triceratops is unconscious, walk up to it and access its inventory.
7. Transfer your berries into the triceratops’s inventory.
8. A pink icon of a dinosaur footprint will appear above the unconscious triceratops, surrounded by two bars. One of the bars is pink, and it should match the amount of torpidity (time unconscious) the triceratops has left before it wakes up. The other should be yellow, and it should increase over time. That is the taming bar. The triceratops should eat the berries when its hunger has depleted (see it in triceratops inventory), and each time it eats, the taming bar increases by a little bit.
9. If the triceratops wakes up before the taming bar is complete, then the taming process will reset and you will have to knock it out again.
10. If the triceratops is low on torpidity and is going to wake up before the taming process is complete, then transfer narcotics or narcoberries to the triceratops’s inventory, then force-feed it the narcotics of narcoberries. That should buy you some more time before the triceratops wakes up.
11. If the taming bar is full, then the triceratops will wake up tamed immediately. A box will pop up saying “Name Your Triceratops”. Enter the name of your triceratops and press “Accept” to name. If you are not nearby when the triceratops tames, go to the triceratops’s options, then go to settings, then go to name. That should give you the same pop-up box.
12. Finally, access your triceratops’s inventory, then equip the Trike Saddle to ride it.
You now have a tamed Triceratops!
PS. There are other ways to knock out triceratops, such as a club, fists, or other methods.
