Tips & Strategies

People keep saying to use tranqs but what if you’re just starting out on a new world and you are low leveled? Craft a bunch of slingshots and place them all in your hotbar. Make sure you have a bunch of stone to knock it out and aim for the head not spine or tail. I would say mejoberries are okay but carrots if you can find some and give it a soothing balm if you happen to have one to tell it that it’s safe and it’s everything’s gonna be okay to boost taming effectiveness. Stimberries are the worst to use and they make the torpor drop faster but try knock it out once and feed it stimberries until it wakes up and knock it out again and it will eat nonstop aka insta tame.

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

If you dont tame it with kibble you can catch up on some netflix shows of yours :).
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!
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
Found one of these bad boys and tamed it. Here's how:
You'll need 12 to 15 tranq arrows or darts with a bow, crossbow, or a rifle. Then just tranq it up. These are pretty slow so you CAN walk but I'd recommend running and stopping occasionally. Then you can feed it kibble or mejoberries. BOOM. Now you have tamed the infamous stego.
Utilities:
This dino can harvest wood, thatch, berries in targe amounts. It's slow but a major early game tame because its attacks are pretty overpowered. This dino also has a high defence and melee but its stamina and speed are TRASH.
Hope this helped...

At times 5 taming speed it only took me 5 potatoes to tame a stego. Up. so more people will see this
I know this might sound fake but I tamed one when I was level 18 I used a sling shot I was so close to dying
For primitive players fresh wheat is better and faster than kibble. About 10 min 99.9% tame.
