Tips & Strategies

told my friend not to mess with it because we were early game but four deaths later we had a tamed one
I just used tranquilizers on him on a rock and fed him mejoberrys
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?
It's very tanky and easy to tame, a must tame in the begging or even late game as it provide a super easy way to collect a lot of berries wood thatch you name it while also being a tank and you can also equip crossbow or other weapons to tame / fight other creatures.
It can even stunlock people/dinos and deal big damage percentage health over time. Also it can massively slow them down.

The stego is relly easy to tame just gotta avoid the tail I found mine stuck so it was easy but I suggest using tranq arrows to tame and some mejoberrys it’s relly useful for harvesting from plants I got like 500 of each type of plant from whacking plants with its tail. That’s all I got for the Steg hope it’s useful for y’all!
It will attack you if you steal it’s eggs. If you get away from it, it will just go to your house and destroy it and all your stuff, so just kill it. A long range weapon is best.
You can find these on the herbivore island along with ankylos sometimes, from there you can climb onto one of the rock formations and knock them unconcious with tranq arrows(they are pretty bulky) If you have a good saddle blueprint for them(I have apprentice tier), then you have a very good berry and thatch gatherer on your hands.
Dont hit it and it wont hit you
Get lots of narcotic and be prepped for a looooong tame if high level
It amazing at killing high health dinos like Carno
When you have a fast mount, like raptor, it's extremly easy to knock them out. Just get your bow or crossbow and play cat and mouse.
I just use a decent sized tree to stand behind and when the stego starts to pass the tree, i do a half circle around the trunk and shoot at the stegos butt while it tries to turn around like a 90s buick. Knock it and Starve it for 25 minutes before you add the berries and bam.
1 crossbow with narco arrows 25-30
2 long neck rifle 65-70 narc darts
Chased on foot and ziggy ziggy pattern
Weaved threw tree if your lucky they'll get stuck
The one I tamed was 135
About 100-180 narcotics extra to keep down
Probably the best early game berry gatherer not because of how much it yields per plant, but because it’s attack covers a larger area. This means you can gather multiple plants at once instead of one at a time. If you are in an area with lots of bushes clumped together, you can gather berries faster than other early game dinos.
Get Trang arrows and find one and shoot it went you nock it out feed it like that I got my stego
