With the new TLC the stego can easily become a must-tame early game dino for many players. It has 3 stances when ridden you can change between pressing C (crouch):
Heavy plate, boosting thatch gather rates and applying a heavy slow on hit targets.
Sharp plate, boosting berry gathering and attacks penetrate armour (useful for PvP).
Hardened plate, boosting wood gather and halves damage taken.

For combat, heavy plate is great for effectively rooting enemy and wild dinos in place, whilst hardened plate is to tank everything that comes at you. Sharpened plate shines together with allies that can slow and/or tank whilst you focus on dealing good dmg.

The alternate attack of the stego can impale creatures up to the size of roughly a parasaur, dealing damage based on attack damage. In order to do so the target must have a certain amount of health left, which is highlighted with the crosshair turning red when looking at the target (unsure how it is shown without crosshairs).

Stegos have the new tlc which means in the wild they will have about a 50% damage resistance which will make it harder to knock out. With the info on knocking it out (how much it takes) multiply it by 2 to make it accurate to how much you need to knock it out! Hope this helped!

If your raiding someone and they have turrets you can use this guy to drain the turrets. Hit the arrow pointing to the sky if this helped

78.3/79.0 = stegosaurus dossier on The Island Maps!

So just find low level it took me like five tranq arrows and crossbow to K.O. then hundred rockaroot and a little bio toxin and now I have a stego! Plz up people must see

told my friend not to mess with it because we were early game but four deaths later we had a tamed one

New TLC update gave the Stego a 75% weight reduction on berries. It’s gathering abilities is probably better than the Trike now.

Easy to tame grab your tranqs shoot it’s head stay we’re the mouth is so it doesn’t attack you sadly it only has one attack on mobile and 2.0

The new TLC for the Stego gave it three different battle modes that you change between using C on PC. Hardened is Damage Reduction, Heavy applies a slow to your opponent and Sharp ignores a good amount of armor. Finally, it is able to do an impale attack on an enemy when they reach a certain threshold and depending on the creature is is certain death.

Can confirm that the impale works on Rexes, though they can still bite you back given the proper angle. Also the Impale works when being carried by a Karkinos. Stegos are the new staple for fighting with a Karkinos. Let everyone know!

They are mildly slow, but you might want to get on a rock and shoot it with tranq arrows, takes 2-5 arrows and make sure you have bio toxin on you. Takes a while for them to tame, the best thing to beat that time is to get a sleeping bag ( Not a simple bed!) And sleep in it. When you wake up shove a hundred bio toxins down it's throat, wait that three more minutes, and you got a stego.
