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 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

These big guys are not to be underestimated. They have a slow speed, but don't let this fool you. Once tamed, they can gather insane amounts of wood, berries, and thatch. I suggest taming these as soon as possible. Use upgrade points on health, melee dmg, movement speed, and stamina. Hope this helped.

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

Most underrated Dino, need wood use a stego, need thatch use a stego, need berries use a stego. Need a tank with added bonus of no rider damage…use a stego.

Hardened will reduce incoming damage and prevent the player from getting dismounted. It does not gather berries, but it gathers impressive amounts of wood.

Heavy inflicts slow on targets and prevents the rider from getting dismounted. It gathers moderate berries and wood, along with large amounts of thatch.

Sharpened does armor penetration and prevents the rider from getting dismounted. It gathers large amounts of berries, decent thatch, and little wood.

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

Jurassic Bio: Stegosaurus

Name means: Roof Lizard

Period: Late Jurassic

Diet: Herbivore

Height: 14ft

Length: 30ft

Description: The Stegosaurus is *one of* the most famous species of dinosaurs. It gets its name from its house shaped plates. Its 4 spikes on its tail (Wild Card gave it 6?🙄), would serve as a lethal weapon against predators.

Note to self, stegos’ heavy mode does not affect alpha rexs. Learned that the hard way. (It does affect normal ones though!)
