So I was reading these comments and I thought I could tame a trike, things ended horribly. I knew I needed tranq arrows, so I got them, I knew I needed narco berries, so I got them. I wrote down a whole ass paper and pencil plan. My brother doubted me, but I didn’t care, I should’ve. I thought to myself, “I am ready.” Oh but you weren’t my friend. I went out found a trike and shot it thinking it would be easy. I went to get berries and I was yeeted into outer space. I was not backing down, I tried again, died. And I kept trying until I lost my home, my dilox2, dodox2, and my parasaur. I now am terrified.

Remember not to attack the Triceratops when there are more of them around. Only attack lonely triceratops because you don't want to be attacked by the herd. Triceratops are an ideal shield to protect against large predators. If you want to tame one, attack the triceratops on level 1 using the tranq arrow, you will need 5 or 10.

This beast of a Dino is a great starter Dino and will help you gather tons of berries and narco berries for narcotics! Not to mention this thing is a Beast!! This Dino is a good tank for early game foraging and killing medium Dino’s!

In order to trap the triceratops, yo

u will want to gather these supplies.

1 Crossbow

20 Tranq Arrows

4 Wooden Foundations

8 Wooden Doorframes

2 Wooden Ramps

50 Mejo Berrys

These supplies will help you take triceratops that are level 1-100

If you want to tame triceratops that are higher than level 100, I would recommend using stone buildings!

To tame the triceratops, first find the trike of your desire, make sure there are not other triceratops around! Then around the trike, set up a simple trap, Starting with the 4 wooden foundations, make a square shape will all four of them. Next, with the 8 wooden doorframes, put them all around the square closing of the inside area. Finally, on the side closest to the trike, set up the two wooden ramps on the side of the square. Just like that you have made a simple trap!

After you have made the simple trap, stand on the ramps and shoot the trike with your crossbow and tranq arrow, make sure you try to aim for its body and not for its protected head. The trike will then agro on you, try to have it chase you up the ramp then go into the enclosed space. The trike should then fall into the trap where it will be trapped!

After this just keep hitting the triceratops body with tranq arrows until it goes unconscious. After this you have successfully knocked it out!

Next up is taming the knocked out trike. After you have knocked it out, carefully put the 50 Mejo Berrys in the trikes inventory. After this, you can leave and do a couple errands before returning. If for some reason the trikes torpor is getting low, you can feed is some narcotics. Narcotics are crafted from 5 Narco Berrys and 1 spoiled meat in the mortar and pestle.

After all of that, you are rewarded with a new, cute pet!

How to tame:

Note: everyone thinks you need a trap, you do not. I did it, no trap needed.

1. Craft tranq arrows, a bow, and collect berries or take crops, narcoberries included

2. Find a trike and find a rock where it can’t get up

3. Shoot it with arrows until unconscious, about three

4. Put crops and/or berries and the narcoberries

5. Enjoy this addition to your pack of tames or as your first and/or only pet

Up if this was helpful, down if you want to try and find out my suggestion was helpful the hard way. I hope you guys hang in there. I have two houses, one is one a peninsula in which I was being stupid and idiotic and I led a therzino to this safe place so I’m in danger everytime I’m there.

It actually pretty easy to tame, you just need tranq arrows, berries, and narcotics. When tamed, gathers wood decently well with charge ability, and should be your general berry collector. You can also use it’s insane knockback and charge to easily juggle enemies. (Watch them try to fight you, lol!) 8 out of 10. Very good.

Trike is the first good tame you gonna do.

Farmer: Its the best early tame for berries, thatch, wood.

Fighter: Can kill everything smaller than rex-allosaurus with the knockback, so when you get trike the only fear is bronto (dont try fight bronto with it) . And much important, it is one of the few tames that dmg almost in every side of it, front-left-right and UP, doing it a decent fighter against birds too, if i could bring it on caves that no jump needed i wouldn't ask for another tame ever (killing bats)

The downside: its difficult to tame. 1) on hit and run he's gonna outrun you (and other trikes help him too), 2) On 'find a spot and throw him rocks (slingshot) seems good but after he got much torpidity it will run away fast on forest or sea and never see him again 3) Trapping him between wood walls-doorframes would work only if you play on 0-30 levels of creatures, in other case it will fck the wooden building immediately. And stone buildings are very far away when you start game

To sum up, no matter the difficulty of taming, its the best early game you gonna get and i mean it.
