Get Trang arrows and find one and shoot it went you nock it out feed it like that I got my stego
Stegos are basically oversized carbos
Just chuck stones with a slingshot and walk backwards
And if he comes close, run and continue pelting

My gf and I have our own unofficial and are Duo running Lost Island PVE. We decided due to being so early game and the amount of carnivores being so high and resources being so low that a stego may be the way to go for a decently "tamed" encounter as for KOing and we brought roughly 50Tranq arrows and xbow each. We found a beauty of a level 130 and while we may have tamed her, we walked out with 1 broken crossbow, and about 20 arrows total.
Make a taming pen, aggro and run in, this will save you so much time and frustration if using Slingshot/Tranq Arrows. In the future we will build one for larger/beefier tames for sure. Bring minimum 75 tranq arrows for anything above level 100, if you don't use a pen keep at least 1 Stego length between you and your target tame and always for the head. When it runs, make sure to keep some distance so it doesn't loop around and begin smacking/man-handling you. Good luck, have fun and stay alive! UP SO ALL CAN SEE.
Tldr: Beware of high torpor. Bring extra ammo/supplies for knocking out/taming/surviving. Preferably build a medium sized ramp taming pen 3-high crows nest, 2 high walls and doorway for you to escape out of stone or better.
Tip
Find a tall stone of cliff. That way it can’t hit you.
Then after you tranq it let it starve, I also used bio toxin.
And then give it rockarrot.
When I was a total noob, I went into a dungeon for the first time. Went down a hallway. ‘Threat incoming’ it said. Suddenly three neon rainbow stegos spawned. It killed me in one hit.
If you're not going to trap it, be prepared for a game of cat and mouse. Also make sure there is plenty of farming around. Snails move faster than a stego tames... =_=
The new TLC update made these guys OP! Now they harvest tons of thatch, wood, and berries with their new plate forms! These guys are like tanks now! I tamed a lv 411 today, and it literally shreds though other dinos! By far I would tame a stego instead of a bronto, or a trike!
Yeah there torpor drain is not low trust me
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 on top of a tall rock and shoot it with a bow/gun. They can’t get you up there.
Here’s an easy trap for stegos place one stone foundation and four door frames and a wooden ramp
If the stegosaurus got damaged a lot wait for it to heal
You maybe need 20-50 narcotics and like 50 tranq arrows
Can stegosaurus grapple of thylacoleo plz help
Stegosaurs are amazing creatures. you should tame them get a lot of arrows and get on top of a high rock and shoot at it don’t kill though
