What are tips for triceratops? Tips and strategies for triceratops in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
All you have to do is go on a rock where it can’t reach you (don’t stand too close or it’ll knock you off), shoot it with tranq arrows/darts (slingshot could work too) and shoot it. I tamed a lvl 22 from shooting only 4 or 5 tranq arrows at it.
These are beasts I have a base in a dangerous area and I bred all my trikes now I have 7 and they can kill ANYTHING. One time I was exploring on a trike called tiny and all of a sudden we were being attacked by the ALPHA RAPTOR She killed him along with 5 dilos. TINY FOREVER
Bio toxins work way better to keep them unconscious than the the narcotics
Wild Trikes are a good natural protection from Raptors early game. See a Trike and Raptor fight = free hide!!
Shove trank arrows into it the tame
Charge to put stun effect on small to medium dinos. Has a small def and dmg buff when fighting rex, spino, giga. Major dmg reduction to face good for light soaking. Takes normal dmg to everything thats not the face. Sluggish. Can get picked by quetz. Deinosuchus can latch on. Raptors can pin you off. Good at getting thatch, berries. Important dino to have when starting.
Never forget about the request function when you click/tap your tames in your inventory, cant find your tame? Request it, although it does drop all the current items that tame has,(excluding the saddle it has equipped) it’s good for retrieving tames that you cant seem to find, also keep in mind that the request function has a little timer bar to when the tame gets teleported to you.
WARNING: do not battle this on a cliff if u are a new player. Even if ur far away from a cliff a trikes knockback and shear power will knock u to ur death. Also if u are on a rock trying to tranq it or slingshot it, beware!!! These bullies hav a lot of health AND can knock u off the rock even if ur a distance above these chunky fellows!!!!! I hope this helped any new players with an accidental encounter with a unhappy momma trike!
when u attack trike her/he will attack u but u can shoot the legs of the trike
Never feed trikes narcotics on mobile. I have tried to tame many trikes and all just glitch and slide across the ground into water and get killed. So basically they are a pain to tame on mobile.
only thing you need to do is starve tame for 6-7 mins and feed it crops or kibble
U can use a rock for high ground so it cannot hit u. U can use any way of knocking out the trike exept close range wepons.
Never hit one in the head with tranqs, it will take reduced damage and take approximately 5 years to knock down.
Be careful if they’re near water, for when you try to tranq a lv100-220 with arrows and he’s inbetween you and the water he’ll tend to run into the water when nowhere else to go, just to either get killed by random fish/stingray or maybye even drown? (Once it simply disappeared as I was getting my berries; also was KO in water)
Be conscious about the fact they try to run once close to being KO if they can’t reach u..
Try to make a bat but trust me you do not want more than one coming at you
