Tips & Strategies
In case you have difficulty with killing trikes, and you have leveled up to the point of firearms such as the shotgun, here is my advice.:
First of all, Triceratops have resistance to damage for their head, but nowhere else on the body, so if one is charging you, you can shoot it in the leg for massive damage.
Second of all, before engaging, move the the side of the trike, load your shotgun fully, and then shoot it twice in quick succession in the chest with the shotgun, followed up by a longneck rifle shot as well. Try to keep to its side profile so that it cannot attack you, but you can attack its unarmored spots.
Third of all, keep a large distance between you and it so that it cannot easily charge you and stun you, and so you can avoid the strike if it attempts to do so.

It's a chill dino and doesn't get mad if you get too close but whatever you do, DO NOT pick up a trice's egg, or he will cha cha real smooth you out of existence πβ¨
Very very easy tame. Go on top of a rock, shoot it with slingshot or tranq arrow.
If u just started, do NOT pick its egg up. If u do, try not to run to ur base. Trust me i learned it the hard way.
If you get in a fight with a couple of trikes, you'll see their head is adorned with 3 spikes, but there's no need to fear, just attack from the rear whilst using a really long pike.

Do not shoot in the head it takes only 15% of damage to the head
