Tips & Strategies
I would say to get tranq darts and stand on top of a rock and shoot down on it. If you are a early beginner this a good tactic. 🦖
GET ON HIGHER GROUND! A trike’s climbing ability is awful! Make sure you bring plenty of Narcoberries and Mejoberries. Great start-mid game tame. I tamed a level six female using this method, with tranq arrows & bow. Good luck :]
For a low level you gotta need a bow make sure it doesn't have a pack beat it with a bow no need for some Arows u don't need em but it's for beginners so make sure that it's like lvl 3 or something hope it helps! Btw bows damage is 55
Up this so beginners like me can see too!!
So I’m totally new on this game. No idea what to do and how to survive, also died a lot but taming a trike is one of my biggest goal since it’s my favorite dinosaur and of course it’s like a freaking tank. So I watched on YouTube and read some here too and most of the time it suggests to make alot of effort so I did my own way. This is how I did:
Needs:
Narcotics (MINIMUM OF 10)
Amarberry (ATLEAST A 100 TO BE SURE)
Bow and Arrow (Only shoot twice)
Slingshot
Club
How:
So first of I’ll find myself a Trike. Not sure if this is gonna work on much more higher and stronger level trikes but I tamed a level 10. After I have my eyes on my target I set myself on a much more higher ground like a rock so a trike can’t reach me. If all set shoot the trike twice until its life is depleted (dont use anymore since they might die) after that switch to your slingshot and just throw some rocks on it until it has little more life (keep this in mind that you need to beat it carefully). Trike’s are stubborn they will rather die than to be tamed so they might run even though they are close to death so let them run and regenerate some health then just hit them with a club until it will fall unconscious. Put all the amarberry on its inventory and watch out for the unconscious bar so use narcostics to fill it in. This way you can just watch it be tamed. In my experience it took overnight to be tamed since each amarberry gives 2-4% so be ready get your meat and campfire to set on besides your newly tank:)
The best way for me to do it right now is with bow and arrow or slingshot
Saw one trike trapped between two trees starts hitting with tranq then turned around and saw 3 trike coming up on me and then..... 💀
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.
Shoot at the belly not the head where there is extra protection and don’t make that mistake like I did and it took me 30 minutes to knock it out
Trikes are one of my favorite soakers. If you have sweetcakes they can even heal faster then that they get damaged.
The best way to knock trikes out is with tranq arrows and the best way to kill them is with wooden spikes.
My advice is to find a trike near a steep cliff and shoot it with rocks until if falls down. This tactic has worked over 5 times for me and I hope will help you
If you try to tame a trike make sure that there are no other trikes around because they will attack you if you attack one of them.
So to tame one of these big boy chonkers you will need slingshot 40 to 80 rocks if the trike is around lvl 5 to 30 also make sure you spare slingshots . Make sure no other trike is around.and then go on a high ledge and start pelting the trike until it gets knocked out. The access it's inventory using and put around 40 to 100 purple berries with some spare berries and narrow just in case and don't forget 5o protect it until it wakes up. Nice you just got your first trike now to these guys will defend you and protect your base. up to recommend to beginners. Have a nice day 😊
If you are going to tame or kill a trike make sure there is no other trikes around because usually they will all turn to you and start charging you before you start hitting them with tranq arrows/stones 👍🏼
I JUST KILLED 2 REXS WITH THIS WAR MACHINE
Do not pick the eggs unless you are prepared to face this beast itself I thought it would be a good way to lure one from the rest of the group but the female had helpers!
Very easy tame. Stand on a large stone and shoot stone or tranquilizer arrows.
I like trikes 🐊
