Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a stegosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a stegosaurus.
Walk backwards and slingshot to tame. No trap required
Up so that the pros can see

Use some tranq arrows or darts then just move back slowly, when it gets close just un equip and run far then shoot repeat until knocked out, they are also passive so if you think about getting one grind some narco berries for arrows (that’s also pretty easy)they eat berries to.
If you want to tame a stego find a rock clump up and slingshot the stego until he is unconscious.
Up so the noobs can see
If you dont tame it with kibble you can catch up on some netflix shows of yours :).
Do NOT listen to the people saying to use a slingshot and tame from atop of stones Stegos can and will use their tail to take you out!
1 u climb high rock
2 make sure there’s no other stegosaurus
3 fire tranq darts until unconscious
4 make sure no dinos charging at u
5 feed it berries
So just find low level it took me like five tranq arrows and crossbow to K.O. then hundred rockaroot and a little bio toxin and now I have a stego! Plz up people must see
At times 5 taming speed it only took me 5 potatoes to tame a stego. Up. so more people will see this
It’s pretty easy. I tamed a lvl 10 male stego with this method;
MATERIALS:
10 tranq arrows
A bow or crossbow
100 berries (25 azulberries and so on)
METHOD:
1. Climb onto a rock the stego can’t when it charges at you
2. Shoot at least 7 tranq arrows at its side or stomach (I didn’t do the head)
3. If it doesn’t get knocked out shoot the rest of your tranq arrows
4. Once knocked out, feed it the berries
5. If it’s nearly conscious, feed it narcotics (1 spoiled meet and 5 narcoberries to make), narcoberries or bio toxin
6. If you run out of berries (which you shouldn’t) quickly collect some
7. You now have a stego!
(More tranq arrows/more
berries the higher the level)
You can just tame it at herbivore island no Dinos charging at u bro try it I'm taming one rn :) Hope this helps
I know this might sound fake but I tamed one when I was level 18 I used a sling shot I was so close to dying
You know, I was originally intimidated by this creature, but it was pretty easy to tame. I just flew my pteranodon, Bluey, up to a high rock and shot tranq arrows at her until she fell asleep. Then I gave her some mejo berries and guarded her through the night.
For primitive players fresh wheat is better and faster than kibble. About 10 min 99.9% tame.
I’d use tranq arrows to knock out I used the purple berries and it took a while but it’s worth it and it gives a lot of xp
They are quite easy to tame if you have a sling shot or a couple of tranq arrows. I got one off the back of my iguanidon.
I may to a tip on Sarco next PS I’ll sign it JB
Stegos have the new tlc which means in the wild they will have about a 50% damage resistance which will make it harder to knock out. With the info on knocking it out (how much it takes) multiply it by 2 to make it accurate to how much you need to knock it out! Hope this helped!
So I tried knocking it out with a slingshot and it didn’t really work and was taking a long time, My slingshot eventually broke so I used a cross bow and tranq arrows. I hit the stego 4 times and he fell unconscious! now I have a stego!!
(I’m level 30)
Bring more narcotics. Chart is wrong. Had to use 30 narcotics on a lvl 50 stego.
If you use crops use carrot. Started taming 2x lvl 10. 1st i used longgrass then the 2nd i used carrot. The longgrass was 15% and carrot was 35% even when started after. Hope this helps
Just grab some tranq arrows, a crossbow, stand on a rock and shoot. Then feed it berries and give it a saddle.
