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).

If you want to tame a stego find a rock clump up and slingshot the stego until he is unconscious.

Up so the noobs can see

Use some tranq arrows or darts then just move back slowly, when it gets close just un equip and run far then shoot repeat until knocked out, they are also passive so if you think about getting one grind some narco berries for arrows (that’s also pretty easy)they eat berries to.

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

If you dont tame it with kibble you can catch up on some netflix shows of yours :).

I remember spawning in the swamps and having a wild one of these kill 2 titanaboas, a raptor and a kapro for me. Respected them ever since

Do NOT listen to the people saying to use a slingshot and tame from atop of stones Stegos can and will use their tail to take you out!

With the TLC, the stego is one of the most useful creatures in the game. Its high health and good damage makes it an extremely useful utility mount, only rivaled in diversity by a few other well-known creatures, like the argy and the moschops.

The stegosaurus is very easy to tame. You only need a bow, lots of tranq arrows, and a cliff. Shoot the stego from the cliff, and chase it one it is running away. Since this is a utility post, there won’t be much information on this area.

Once tamed, the stegosaurus has three back plate modes:

The hardened plate (orange): defends the stego making it tanky. It can harvest wood

Heavy plate (blue): instead of protection, it slows enemies using its primary attack. Harvests thatch

Sharp plate (yellow): gives the stego armor penetration. Harvests tons of berries

All modes prevent riders from being knocked off (microraptor proof!!)

The stego has a decent attack range and AoE. It also has a secondary (impale) attack which can hold down the enemy while draining its health. Use this against ASE forest titan on extinction.

Also, the stego is very tanky and carries a lot. The only downside being its extremely low speed. If you need anything that doesn’t have to be quick, the stego is extremely useful.

1 u climb high rock

2 make sure there’s no other stegosaurus

3 fire tranq darts until unconscious

4 make sure no dinos charging at u

5 feed it berries

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

Lol to whoever struggling to switch stances on mobile,you can't.On mobile the stego is still the old stego

There are many good places to find and kill stegos and those places are beaches with lots of trees and jungles because due to its large body it can easily get stuck.

P.S. Works for taming too

The stego Is by far One of the best wood, berry and thatch gatherers in the game, not to forget it's extremly tanky, making It useful for defense, and also great for sinking turrets.

Tame One as soon as you can!

(Plus the tek variant looks awesome!).

Single player uses:

1. Gatherer: Stegosaurus is among the best wood and thatch gatherers, and is also a good berry gatherer.

2. Early game power dino: Stegos are slower than a sloth on melatonin, but they are tanky for their size.

3. Redwood mount: You can't get dismounted while riding it, need I say more?

I have a stegosaurus called Strega and she’s a GOD, can kill five giant beavers in a few swings, has very high health, doses decent damage, and helped me and my only tribe mate, my dad to tame our first giant beaver.

Great dino to collect a crap ton of berries, especially narcos for narcotics

I cannot understate just how unstoppable just a pair of mateboosted and imprinted stegos can be.

Spinos and karkinos can barely inconvenience them much less meaningfuly damage them.

Sure they're slow, but they're easy tames and they'll get you where you need to go.
