Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Stegosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

Used four of these with ten Rex’s, a yutyrannus, and three megatheriums for the beta broodmother fight. Went very well as the steggos can knock back waves of araneos at a time, though I do suggest leveling up hit points and melee high before you do.

Stegosauruses are very good at collecting berries, many people think they are better at collecting berries than Triceratops. Even though they are slow, they can defend you with their powerful knockback. These are a good source of prime meat, because they are one of the easiest…

I spun a wheel of doom and landed on tame stego, and I was thinking omg this is gonna be pain! But it only needs like 15 tranqs with a crossbow and it tames super fast! It does need a crap ton of berries

Best way to kill at early level is to make a line of spiked walls, wooden or metal, it doesn’t matter, shoot a stego with a bow or crossbow and run behind the fence. Watch it do all the work for you as it impales it self!

Too underated, my stego can and has been literally tearing everything on my map apart, from the smallest dino to the Alpha predators. This bad boy has a tail attack and an added bonus for knock back attacks plus they don't have a blind spot, basically they can swat 360…

One of the best dinos to use for the new shadow mane prowl and ferox cull because of the ability to not be dismounted when hit. One of these guys with a good saddle plus a group of reapers you can easily solo alpha!

Great for soaking any turrets, spikes in back prevent being shot from sides and front,not too bulky like rock golems or paras, they fit in caves much easier!

Literal tank

Slow and cumbersome but can carry a metric ton and can take down a cement house. I highly recommend for starting players.

They absolutelly killing everything you need at start It can take out even a alpha raptor just because it is knockbacking so it dont even got a chance to damage it!!!

The way I first tamed my stego was that I found one caught between two trees. I shot it with 4-5 tranq arrows and fed it berries. The stego by far is one of the most useful dinos I have tamed so far.

Easy to tame grab your tranqs shoot it’s head stay we’re the mouth is so it doesn’t attack you sadly it only has one attack on mobile and 2.0

Only focus on Tek Stegs, best place to find them is Lunar biome on Genesis although they are littered about on all maps.

Focus taming for high hp. A max lvl 180 with 35+ points in hp will be a great tame if it comes out with high 40s or low 50s in hp.

These are great for…

They can be used to gather lots of wood apparently in one of their modes so maybe a good early wood collector

There not in scorched Earth : (

These guys are pretty stupid and slow their turn radius is kind of bad but that is nullified because of their attack which covers like 80% of their body so if ur gonna tame it do it from afar
