What are tips for triceratops? Tips and strategies for triceratops in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
All you gotta do is hop on a rock and then shoot it with either tranqs or a slingshot. Don’t shoot it in the head or your gonna grow a beard by the time it falls asleep.
You can trap them between 2 trees they Will get stuck and you can Just shoot it with trank arrows.
Pretty easy. Just run around and tranq arrow if you haven’t got a trap. Knock out then berries. Now a good early-game berry harvester and tank. Well done! Go for lower levels if early game - still really useful! We’ve got an amazing level 40.
Step 1 get tranqs step 2 shoot it with tranqs step 3 knock it out step 4 put berrys in inventory step 5 wait step six YOU HAVE IT
How my experience was with a 140 triceratops first I checked or one with my spyglass then I shot it with my apprentice crossbow it on took around 27 tranq Arrow and fed it 80 mejoberrys
If they have about 375 health you could kill them with a pike with little injuries.
WHERE I LIVE TRIKE TAME U yep like that yep
Be carefup, if you attack one then all of the other ones nearby will attack you, I accidentally got chased by there's at a time and then wasted all my tranq arrows on the low level ones🤣🤣🤣
I have a better idea of a trap. Stone foundation and wall (you can do metal and TEK if you want) — (_____) ⬅️trike —
Hear me Out
That thing is a beast at early game with enough level (50-80) it can easily take out raptors,carnos,alpha raptors and even rexes (lvl30-45), because of the high health and the OP knockback, if you’re hitting at the exact right time raptors won’t even hit you they just can’t . Be careful when facing theris tho that could end pretty bad for you and your trike
I was happy player with some dinosaur. But then this thing had come. U know i was using dilophosaur as hide, meat and keratin farm. But then 2 of them attacked trike they were fighting bit nothing worked. I took my spears and 2 parasaur’s to try kill that trike and save my boys. I got killed. Dinos got killed. THIS THING IS PURE EVIL! DONT ATTACK THEM IF YOU DONT HAVE WHOLE ARMY! thank u for reading. Up to pay respect to: Hunter, Venom, Storm and Bolt. I will never forget their fierce fight.
The ston piller and ladder trick will works for most dinos. Just put 10 stone piller in height and climb with ladder in range of dino where you can shoot him. If you are short of stones to build pillers you can also make less but make sure dino is not able to reach you at that height. You know what to do if this is helpful. ∆∆∆
And to nock it out use a long neck riffle put 15 darts it should fall asleep quicker
So far I've only seen people suggesting knock out methods that either don't often work or just take more resources and time than is necessary....
I tamed a lv 270 Trike with my method and it was super easy and afterwards it was lv 400+ and is the main Dino I take with me when I wander and I put ALL stats into HP, and Attack. Putting some into stamina til you have around 1k stamina isn't a bad idea as that allows you to last through long fights that require you to rapid attack the entire time.
Easy and high lv Trike method that works on ALL lv Trikes.
Step 1. Craft around 200 tranq arrows to allow for mistakes.
Step 2. Bring 1 crossbow and 2 bows just in case something unexpected happens.
Step 3. Stand as far away as possible while still being able to land a shot so you can get a head start.
Step 4, shoot and run while not looking back for like 7 seconds, then turn around and fire your bow while walking backwards, the bow allows for faster firing but provides less Torpor than the Crossbow unless it's an ascendant bow. When it gets within say 10 feet of you turn around and run. Rinse and repeat til knocked out. Takes like 2 minutes.
The slow, hard, time consuming method..... Only effectively works for low lv Trikes between lv 1and lv 30 due to the large amount of stones needed. For Reference you will want around 250-300 stone and 3-5 slingshots for a lv 40.
Step 1. Make your house out of wood or stone, wood is easier to do early on.
Step 2. Leave 1 wall off so that you can fire your slingshot from inside the safety of your home.
Step 3. Find a low lv Trike no higher than lv 40 if you want an effective tame that doesn't take all day in game to knock out.
Step 4. Stand at max range from Trike since you are likely a super low lv and very slow with limited stamina.
Step 5. Land 1 shot with the slingshot, turn and run full speed towards your house. Only look back at your own risk if you think he or she is no longer chasing you or is somehow stuck. Don't attempt to climb rocks as any rock you can jump onto from the ground lv they are able run straight up and over.
Step 6. Remember that wall I told you to leave off your house?? Run straight towards it and jump to enter your house through that.
Step 7. Stand close enough that it stays aggro to you but far enough back where it can't attack you.
Step 8. Dinos are sneaky in ARK. It will act like it's getting close to unconscious several times, do not think it's running away and leave the safety of your house unless it just keeps going the other way without turning around at you. To prevent it from aggroing onto something else or not coming back just step into the door like area without dropping to the ground while firing off shots at its "retreating form" unless close to unconscious it will turn back and charge at you.
Basically the only good garunteed way to tame a Trike before you get Tranq arrows and a bow.
This dino is a really helpful starter tame! Since they have the knockback effect, you can kill a therizino with them to protect your base :) I tamed one and it was really helpful! It helped me get rid of this pesky therizinosaur that was roaming really close to my very first/starting base!
