Slide to the item. To get to the item faster
For the one who tamed one w/ sling at lvl 18, i tamed one the same way lvl 10. So, I believe you.
Level into stam or meele because it gives more barriers if you up it's meele and if you up stam it can collect them faster with out having to stop
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.
I was lv 21 and saw a stegosaurus I went to it and it was lv 9i attacked it and long story short I died so get at least lv 35 be fore attacking it
Basically what i did is lure it to dino gates lock yourself in have its head stick through and ko it with your slingshot or real men use there fists
Best used if you have a tapa and use tranq arrows
The stego heavy plate is very useful for taming as well as tribe warfare, the slowing effect seems to scale with its attack damage (my stego seems to slow down creatures more now that I’ve upgraded it’s melee damage a lot) . It’s most useful in what I call “miniboss scenarios”, wherein you and maybe some tribe mates and tames are all grouped around one enemy. For taming, I recommend setting your stego to passive, then hitting once with the heavy plate to slow the Dino, which for faster knockout tames like raptors, carnos, gallimimus, and others it will not only negate their advantage but also give you time to place bear traps or bola a particularly evasive creature. In tribe warfare, you can single hit with heavy plate then have an alternate stego(s) with sharpened plate or hardened plate move in for the kill once the enemy is slowed. Hope this helped!
In mobile get traqs then start shooting but olny works on lvl 30 or 40
Then when u knock it out then feed it 400 or more berries no narco then
Wait a bit then its yours.
When you want to tame one make sure to have plenty of tranqs on you
I tamed one at level 5! They are really easy. I used 5 tranc arrows but I could of used less and then left it just run around till it got K.O. I stood on a high rock. Please up this so nubes can see lol
Genesis is a good place to get stegos (in the bog.) In my experience, high levels are easy to find on Genesis. Stegos are also super common there. Plus, creatures on Genesis can have some pretty cool colors.
I dont wait till they get stuck they usually swipey first couple of times then they run so no Biggie you don't have to wait until they get stuck
In my case it got stuck in a rock so I just used slingshot and it got knocked out...... btw I was lvl 6 so you can do that or climb on top of a rock and then shoot it.... just make sure the rock is big enough and it cannot climb it
