Tips & Strategies

The Trike is really good at collecting berries and if you want wood but if you kill something then you have to dismount to get the meat.
More Triceratops Utility Tips
Utility Roles for Trike:
1. Tank. When faced with head on damage, they have a damage reduction. Be sure to pair with mate for extra damage resistance (level Health).
2. Short Range Scout. The Trike is not very fast, but again, due to the damage resistance it has (and it's just general beefiness), it can serve as a good scout for early game. Much better than the Para in that regard (level Health, Stam, and Movement Speed).
3. Harvester. This boi can collect quite a decent amount of wood and fiber, much more than you can by hand. Use with Charge attack for extra resources! (level Weight and Stamina).
4. Defender. Use him to defend your base and smaller tames. Really the only early game threat a Trike can't handle are alphas and the occasional Theri. But trust me, I've seen one of these things face down a Sarco and live (level Health and Melee Damage)

With the new TLC, it has OUTSTANDING thatch collecting ( 1000 in 4 trees with a max charge. )
If the triceratops head is glowing that means there is a large predator nearby
If you ever catch these guys in the wild and wonder why their heads are glowing red, you should probably run because thereβs a Rex/Spino in the area.
I can not stress enough to my friends how useful the trike is. Early game it makes a great pack animal. Late game in groups of three or four it can be used as a decent battle mount. Taming a trike early on can be a great way to start a large base and keep you well fed with berries.
The guy who said that they canβt face down a theri, i took the time and leveled up my trike (Ella) until level 26 or smth, and it did face down a theri, almost without any taken damage! So if you are looking for a defender, ypu are in the right place! Also i have to mention that mine did face down a theri, when i was riding it! But it is possible!!
If ur low level, but still have the saddle. Then you should totally tame these, because the trikes are the best at navigating the swamps. Also, Iβm using the voice thing on my phone so itβs adding all the common sense. And stuff say stupidness. I added the common sense instead of the stupidness.
If one of these guys has a glowing head, run away because there is a large predator like a Spino or Rex nearby
Cool tip!
Just realized, if you put rockarrots in their inventory they wonβt spoil!
βοΈ So nubs can see!!
A triceratops is a very special dinosaur in this game. It is easy enough to tame at a low level, yet powerful enough to take on raptors that could kill you easily. It can collect enough berries that you would never go hungry again, and still have some berries leftover to help tame more trikes. They are very slow but it can make up for it if you increase the weight, attack, and stamina stats. It is an extremely good pack animal because it can carry a lot, but still defend itself, especially if it is in a large group. Overall, the triceratops is one of my favorite and most versatile dinosaurs.
