How do I kill a stegosaurus? stegosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
I have a tek by my base
But not strong enough killed me😥
Super slow, you could even club him. Just watch the tail.
Its not the best idea to attack them with swarms of little guys like the dilos or dimorphs. They have wide attacks, deal alot of damage, and take a beating. I lost my whole squad to one. But I found out that they can easily be killed by a baryonyx if you lure it to the water where the Bary can use its stun attack. After its stunned just stab it with a pike and use the stun attack whenever it snaps out of it.
Genesis is a good place to get stegos (in the bog.) In my experience, high levels are easy to find on Genesis. Stegos are also super common there. Plus, creatures on Genesis can have some pretty cool colors.
Guy on mobile we don't have this stego yet like they do on console
This applies to all creatures that have a tek variation. But, at least for stegos and trikes, if you Engage the tek variant next to an living version they will not defend it. And vice versa. So, if you want a tame and it’s alone, next to a tek variant you are safe to engage without fear of getting overrun by others.
How do i tame this guy without getting obliterated?
Climb a high rock and use slingshot or tranqs to get him unconscious than just feed it some kibble
Breed and mutate some abberant stegos fro rockwell, you can thank me later!
Heavy Plate is great at bullying alpha creatures, the range, knockback and slow debuff makes it an ideal tame for killing alpha creatures the easy way.
My Sarco eats them for breakfast.
