Tips & Strategies
The easiest way I have found to tame a trike is finding a low level trike to start with say, level 20, making about 15 tranq arrows (maybe 20 to be safe if you have bad aim) and just shooting at it from atop a rock it cant get you from. Of course it's best to aim at its back, because headshots will take significantly longer.

This is what’s you’ll need to tame it:narco berries narcotics tranq arrows and some wood structures. Step one: make a taming trap. Make it big Enough so the trike can’t get out make a ramp into the trap and a small door for a survivor to fit in. Step two: Hit the trike run into the trap and go through the small door. Step three get on top of the ramp and start shooting it with Tranq arrows. Also DON’T SHOOT AT THE HEAD THEY HAVE EXTRA PROTECTION THERE.step four:once it’s knocked out put your narco berries and narcotics in the trike and wait for it to be tamed. If this helped please hit the arrow pointing towards the sky.
We all remember when we tried to bola this guy
First, for low levels, I suggest finding one that is stuck in between two trees which is surprisingly common. I used a crossbow, but you could just use a bow. Craft tranq arrows. Shoot at the belly, and try to do it quickly before it can get free. I suggest 4-6 tranq arrows, maybe more for a higher level. I brought a few narcotics just in case, but I didn’t use any so you don’t necessarily have to. Bring about 20-40 berries, probably more, and you’ll most likely have extra. Put it in the triceratops’s inventory and wait (in my experience it went up by 2%, so make sure you’re ready for a wait). If you leave it’s side the taming will still go up. After it is tamed, name it!
Extra: bolas will NOT work, if you use them they will start to attack.
Uses: they can be extremely strong (I have seen a group of 2-3 trikes kill a sarco, which is a much more high-level tame). Once a saddle is crafted, they are not very fast but they do collect thatch easily from trees as well as short amounts of wood. They get much more berries from a single bush than you can. They do not jump when you’re riding.
Thanks for reading! Sorry it was so long. Please up for the noobs to see! And of course, have a nice day.
In Soviet Russia trike tame u
It's not as hard as I thought to Knock it out I did it with a wooden club (definitely dint die like 4 times)it was only a level 4 but it's cool (boost this so low level beginners can see).
Never slingshot or shoot tranq arrows at the trike’s head. They have extra protection there. aim for the body instead.
I think trikes give you more berries.up if you think to
Your Pocket Triceratops Taming Guide
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some info-
Ah, the trike. Your trusty early-game berry gatherer and a surprisingly strong (and surprisingly slow!) mount. You've probably tamed one before, but if you haven't, you've come to the right place.
Taming-
I would recommend using tranq arrows or darts, although you shouldn't really need to tame a trike by the time you unlock tranq darts. Get up somewhere high (But be careful as trikes can climb better than you'd think) or get it stuck between two trees. If you want you could use a trap, but it shouldn't be nessesary. As for taming food, my choice would be mejoberries. They're easier to obtain than crops and actually tame it quicker! You'll need 85 mejoberries for a level 150. As for narcotics, you'll need to bring some, no matter what level you're going after.
Saddling and Stats-
Good bulky tames with a high health stat. Stamina is average, and is the one I put the most points into. Saddle is simply made from hide, wood and fibre (I think).
Breeding-
I haven't written a section on breeding one of these guides before, and I don't know too much about trike breeding, so don't take my word as fact. One thing you'll need, berries. Trike eggs can be hatched under 3-4 standing torches and are herbivores (obviously). You should be able to give the hatchling a few stacks of berries and forget about it.
I hope this guide helped someone today. If you liked, please consider sharing it with friends!

Here’s how to get your own one of these!( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) (MOBILE)
What will you need:
-If playing on easy (levels 1-20), you will need 20-30 tranq arrows, if on medium (levels 1-150), need 35-50 tranqs, if on hard or hardcore, use over 55 (not if low level).
- some narcotics (if on easy you probably won’t need it just get some narcoberries )
- if your too low level for tranqs, get a slingshot (probably only works on easy), add 100-120 rocks and yea. (OPTIONAL)
- high rock to get onto (they can get higher than you’d think!)
LETS GET ONTO THE TAMING!
Step 1- find your trike, make sure there isn’t over 1 unless you want 2 trikes (you need 2x the stuff).
Step 2- get onto your high rock.
Step 3: shoot at it and keep going
Step 4: when it starts running (far enough that it won’t come back) chase after it FAST and shoot it while running.
Step 5: now he is unconscious put the berries/kibble/crops/etc in the inventory and start waiting.
Step 6: if the torpor (purple bar) gets low then feed it some narcotics.
Step 7: wait and guard it from carnivores.
Step 8: YOU GOT A TRIKE!!
GOOD LUCK!!
Note from me : EVERYONE WHO ENJOYED ! READ NOW !
I will do these tutorials on many different creatures so watch out for the “GOOD LUCK” at the end or this exact message .
Here's how to tame a triceratops:
1. Definitely don't bola it.
2. I recommend building a trap using stone structures. Like a 4 by 6 foundation, and doorframes for the walls, make it 3 doorframes high. And build some ramps so you can lead the trike into the trap.
3. Shoot it with a tranquilizing ammo like tranq arrows or certain darts.
4. After it's knocked out, feed it berries, veggies, or preferred kibbles.
Hope this helped! Bye!
