What are tips for triceratops? Tips and strategies for triceratops in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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.
I was walking until I saw a trike until I hit it and I forgot there was a trike near him and I runned and died over and over so I decided to realese my tames and 2v5 it we lost. My parasaur only survive Rip 4 tames:(
For a low level you gotta need a bow make sure it doesn't have a pack beat it with a bow no need for some Arows u don't need em but it's for beginners so make sure that it's like lvl 3 or something hope it helps! Btw bows damage is 55
Do not shoot for their head their head has more armor then there body
If you are using ranged or melee, be sure to be on the sides cuz the trike’s head is basically a shield to both.
A.k.a minimal damage is done to the front
(Be sure to bring a Dilo or 2 when fighting these, their poison lets u easily spin around the trikes.)
If you want to quickly grind xp then just get a slingshot and have a bunch of stones and then jump on a big boulder and shoot its body till it dies and remember to not get close to the edge of the rock or you'll get hit and go flying and probably die from the fall damage or be stunned and get turned into a fleshy pancake by a angry Trike
I am so mad. Tried to knock out a level 30 and it’s currently in the water, probably about to drown.
To knock out, you don’t need anything. You can just get a slingshot and get somewhere it can’t reach and that’s it…
Just set a spike wall in front and there u go a dead trike
- Tame Moschops
- Let it get tons of berries
- Get stacked on trank darts
- Examine Trikes
- Return to Moschops and grab the tons of berries
- Inventory: Narcotics and narco berries, Berries, trank arrows, bow
- Knock trikes our and tame them all
- Destory every living thing
You ecsape it by swimming, get it stuck on trees or on rock same as you do to fight it
you only need tranq arrows and narcotics if you're playing on easy, just circle around it and shoot the body. If there's another trike nearby, nevermind. Either kill it or wait for it to go away.
The Trike
When tranking don't shoot its head it has more protection there u can't bola it soo maybe build a trap. If u shoot it the trikes near by will be chasing u too so craft extra tranks I shoot from on top of a rock, where a shield and dont stay in a cliff or in water cuz when they attack even when wearing a shield u will be pushed away he he he he
Good luck 🤞!
. Devious Trikster
You can use this as a raid tool in mobile because it can instantly break wood/thatch structures with a specific attack. You know the charge? The structure hitbox will always be there, so when the triceratops does the charge, it will deal (kind of) infinite damage because structures take no knockback. After the walls are broken, you can send out many raptors to take out the people, another trike to destroy the containers, and optionally a carno to also help with killing the players and cleaning up, because it is fast and does decent damage, and also eats meat, ensuring the enemies won’t find their bodies again.
Up if this helped with your early-game raids!
Ok so the simplest way I know of is first make 8 tranq arrows and 3 narcotics separately use arrows to put it to sleep and feed it what ever kibble is highly recommended after a while the tame bar will go down that's where the spare narcotics come in use force feed it the narcotics and eventually u should get to tame
In order to tame a trike use tranq arrows but for beginners use a slingshot so .step 1 shoot it .step 2 go on top of a rock or something then. Step 3 shoot it until it runs away then.step 4 club it down
