Fairly easy to knock out at low levels
And really only good for kibble to take argies
Unless you munch on berries
More Stegosaurus Utility Tips
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

Up so new players can see
Lol to whoever struggling to switch stances on mobile,you can't.On mobile the stego is still the old stego
I have a stegosaurus called Strega and sheβs 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
Very useful in PvP to soak turrets because if itβs abilty to protect the rider and high HP. Back into turrets as itβs tail takes reduced damage, beware of tek turrets as the splash dmg can still get you. Also itβs helpful to bring a few sweet veggie cakes so the stegosaurus can regain some health. (Up if you found this helpful)
New TLC update gave the Stego a 75% weight reduction on berries. Itβs gathering abilities is probably better than the Trike now.
These will be the new turtles. There spikes cover the rider
