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...

A sarco was killing one of these guys and I ran in to help; I ended up accidentally hurting this monster and it killed my Parasaur.

Don't try to kill a mating STEGO!!!

Berry murderer.

When your breeding them pay close attention to the baby’s they eat a lot my two baby stegos I left them with a lot food when I went to hunt but when I came back they were dead they died of starvation and I was very sad because one was level 67 and the other one was 84 they both died sadly

Stego’s are very slow. So you don’t need any traps just run and shoot and again run. To tame high level ones get trans arrows. Slingshots are very slow and the stego can also die before it getting unconscious if its level 150 or plus.

Surely you can just walk backwards and slingshot it till it unconcious then give it some berry

Don't even need a trap to tame it

These are perfect for collecting thatch and rockarrot on mobile, and it can beat any ground dino in a fight that is at most the same size.

They just do their own thing unless you provoke it

Tame a tek one. When they change stances, the glow on their body changes. Sharp spikes is best, and the one that makes it look like an airplane is nice

With the new tlc this makes a really good mount for redwoods

Can everybody posting tips stop assuming that every body reading these have strong fliers like quetzal and tapajaras because some people don’t. I’m a low level beach bob who’s only flier is one lvl 50 ptera that I am still making a saddle for.

Once you manage to sit through the tame, these things can be absolutely amazing for gathering berries.

You'll need two people, a quetzal, and your shiny new stego.

Have one person on the quetz, one on the stego, and have the quetzal pick up the stego in its big chicken feet.

The quetz may now fly around, very close to the ground, and the stego can swing to get constant berries.

Don't spam the "swing" button, or you won't gather anything. Wait until the swing animation is over, and then tap it again.

When the quetzal is encumbered, they can drop the stego to regain stamina, the person on the stego can drop the undesired goodies, and you can go off again.

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

If you don’t want to run around gathering fiber and wood to quickly build a base last moment before the Allosaurus pack nearby spots you, if you want to tame Argies quickly and effectively, if you want to take out raptor packs quickly, you will need a stegosaurus.

It’s pretty easy. I tamed a lvl 10 male stego with this method;

MATERIALS:

10 tranq arrows

A bow or crossbow

100 berries (25 azulberries and so on)

METHOD:

1. Climb onto a rock the stego can’t when it charges at you

2. Shoot at least 7 tranq arrows at its side or stomach (I didn’t do the head)

3. If it doesn’t get knocked out shoot the rest of your tranq arrows

4. Once knocked out, feed it the berries

5. If it’s nearly conscious, feed it narcotics (1 spoiled meet and 5 narcoberries to make), narcoberries or bio toxin

6. If you run out of berries (which you shouldn’t) quickly collect some

7. You now have a stego!

(More tranq arrows/more

berries the higher the level)

I once saw a stego fend off an attack by a rex for, I kid you not, 30 minutes. So tanky...

Yo geezers, you can shoot arrows whilst riding it so if you upgrade it's health it can be a taming machine, ya get me?

Dont hit it and it wont hit you

Blue plate mode can stunlock pretty much anything in the game due to the slow + knockback. Maybe it can kill gigas too, but im not crazy enough to try.
