Tamed one can defeat a rex.

Real, just try to not get rex near the trike, attack he and knockback, repeat

A plan:

[Rex] – "walks to trike'

[Trike] – "waits before rex CAN'T attack, but he can"

[Rex] – " Can't attack, but can be attacked"

[Trike] – "Attacks and knocking back rex"

Repeating process.

It’s actually a lot more simple to tame these guys then I thought. I just used tranq arrows and some narcoberries on hand. I then ran up close enough the Trike and hit him with a tranq arrow the ran away until he stopped chasing me, then I ran back and shot him again, I repeated this process until he started running from me, then I could keep hitting him til he went down without having to run away. I put the narcoberries in and just waited. Viola, now you have a trike. (Note it took me about 12 arrows)

To tame a trike, you should make sure they are far away from your weak dinos and base or it's will be a disaster. I recommend using tranq arrow,it's the safest way. But if you are desperate, you can use a slingshot which have worse accuracy. Stand on a high ground where the trike can't get you then lure it beneath you, make sure to shoot it's limbs and not the head. You can also make a trap but it's not necessary for low level trikes. Feed it mejoberry, use nacrotic or Bio Toxin when it's torpor is low. Wait a little bit and boom,you got you first trike

How to tame trike:

Materials:

100 tranq arrows

Safari experience in taming

A crossbow

A HIGH LEVEL trike low lv has low stam and low health

How to tame:

1. Find a steep rock. I mean really steep and really tall. Trikes defy gravity.

2. Shoot its body not head.

3. Stop it from going into water.

Use berries to tame. Mejos for taming and narcoberries for keeping down.

Uses:

Turret soaker. It has head on reduction.

Defense: huge AOE and great dmg

Travel: Charges fast. Carries lots of stuff too.

Harvest: Charge for wood and a lot of thatch. Primary attack for berries.

Boss dino ARK ASCENDED!: with asa melee headshots, they get minimal dmg while having good dps and knockback. Do not try in Evolved or mobile.

Enjoy your trike!

Best creature in ark

The trike is really easy to tame and find, in fact after 2 hours of reading wiki it was my first dino. Not dodo, not parasaur, not dilo, not moschops(I’m in mobile moschops are useless)

As a early tame it is awesome as it is quite fast and has amazing damage. It is quite tanky and harvests a lot of berries.

Now for uses:

Transportation: a strong & moderately fast mount that provides food and materials on the way

Berry: farms way way more than parasaur or iguano, and faster than anky stego.

Turret soaker: the dmg reduction on head is amazing.

In conclusion in the early game 2nd best tame after moschops

Alot of people are saying to trap them but its a bit more simpler than that. If you want to tame one then you should craft a slingshot and then find a lonely trike (If you try to tame one when there is two both will attack) then slingshot him in the body. To not get flung by them run round in circles, they are very slow but can launch you.
