1. Red/Buffed/Shield Icon: Half dmg taken from everything, good for gathering wood

3.White/Sharpen/Sword Icon: Deal armor piercing attack, stance for berry gathering

Up for people to see (6/Feb/2025)

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

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 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

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?

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.
