I remember the day when I tamed my first trike on hardcore mode. I tamed a 145 using a few tranq arrows. I rode it around the beaches of the southern islets collecting berries.

It was on the trike that I spent my first weeks on the island. Back in the day, the ark felt so huge, so vast, it was impossible to fully explore.

It was also on my trike that I encountered the first dangers of the island. When i was building my hut, a carno charged out of the woods, coming towards us. I was sure I was dead, and then, my trike came into view. One strike, two strikes, and the carno fell off the cliff. Gravely wounded, the carno lost interest.

In the first month or so on the island, the trike was the most useful tame I had. Countless times it saved me from hungry raptors, rexes, and more. It helped me through the toughest early days, collecting thatch, wood, and berries.

When I was about to enter the tek cave, I said goodbye to most of my tames. I remembered the early days with me and my trike, exploring the wild jungles and unforgiving northern peaks, and how I built all from scratch, to the army of theris and Rexes I had now.

My trike would stay on the island, but as the overseer sent me towards the sands of scorched earth, I was one step closer to bringing the arks home.
