Tips & Strategies
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.
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 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.
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 knocked him out with a Scorpion just stab him and if he gets to bloody let him be once he heals up repeat
Dont hit it and it wont hit you
Stegos are basically oversized carbos
Just chuck stones with a slingshot and walk backwards
And if he comes close, run and continue pelting

They are mildly slow, but you might want to get on a rock and shoot it with tranq arrows, takes 2-5 arrows and make sure you have bio toxin on you. Takes a while for them to tame, the best thing to beat that time is to get a sleeping bag ( Not a simple bed!) And sleep in it. When you wake up shove a hundred bio toxins down it's throat, wait that three more minutes, and you got a stego.
Real me tame these with a bat and no trap!
Yeah there torpor drain is not low trust me
Stegos, while they may be a little more wimpy than they seem during an encounter, they can hold their own against predators(there’s a reason they can deal damage to the T-Rex in a scrimmage), and they cover a very broad area around the back and side, where most dinos fail to protect themselves, making them a good adventuring help despite their speed and stamina drain.
It has well balanced stats and is good to have around.
