Dont hit it and it wont hit you

told my friend not to mess with it because we were early game but four deaths later we had a tamed one

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.

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.

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.

Pros: Can gather a TON of thatch, along with wood and berries.

Cons: SO FREAKING SLOW

The stego's speed decreases by 65% when tamed, but the game "compensates" you by buffing its movement speed to like 200% so that it is just... 30% slower than a wild stego if you have 0 weight. Not really practical traveling long distances with this thing, bro really fulfills its "tank" role

From experience: You can tame it without a trap if you're fast enough, just make sure it's alone first. I used tranq arrows in a crossbow and just ran from it, turning around every few seconds to shoot. Not too hard to hit the head, to be honest. Of course I can't guarantee this will work for everyone, but it worked for me :)

While it’s taming try put gates or spike walls around so no predators come and debuff or kill the stego

Get lots of narcotic and be prepped for a looooong tame if high level

When on abrration these guys are INSANE at getting all the kinds of mushrooms. If i can remember the sword buff is what gets alot of it.

BRO I KNOCKED OUT A 140 WITH COOL COLORS AND THEY TOOK 0.4 BERRIES PER BITE WTF-

This is the most versatile turret soaker in the game, all you need to do is tame one, get a good saddle bp, pump levels into health. ( you also can’t get picked off the stego when on it.)

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.

It has well balanced stats and is good to have around.

The stegos is getting a tlc in tlc pass 3 along with the mammoth

I just used tranquilizers on him on a rock and fed him mejoberrys

So I just casually decided to tame a stego no PvP cus we were low on narcos and with one tail whip on them bushes I got like a 100 and when I went back to base I went back with 10000 narcoberries yeah that's right wayyy better then trikes

A mid game berry gatherer but useful beyond that too. Pump health, stamina and weight. You have a hardy mount that can take a beating.

Stegosaurus are great thatch gatherers, you can get about 40 thatch per hit some times lower but the highest i have gotten was 63 thatch just by attacking 1 tree, but yeah there great for getting thatch
