How do I kill a triceratops? triceratops battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
It's a chill dino and doesn't get mad if you get too close but whatever you do, DO NOT pick up a trice's egg, or he will cha cha real smooth you out of existence 😌✨
Very very easy tame. Go on top of a rock, shoot it with slingshot or tranq arrow.
If u just started, do NOT pick its egg up. If u do, try not to run to ur base. Trust me i learned it the hard way.
If you get in a fight with a couple of trikes, you'll see their head is adorned with 3 spikes, but there's no need to fear, just attack from the rear whilst using a really long pike.
Yall told me and I didnt listen. Note to self, leave the damn eggs alone!
DON'T STEAL A TRIKE EGG!!!!! I learnt it the hard way.
Hear me Out
That thing is a beast at early game with enough level (50-80) it can easily take out raptors,carnos,alpha raptors and even rexes (lvl30-45), because of the high health and the OP knockback, if you’re hitting at the exact right time raptors won’t even hit you they just can’t . Be careful when facing theris tho that could end pretty bad for you and your trike
If you wana live, try not to pick up a egg from one of these guys. Its a reck dude. By the way, do NOT go to ur base/house while one of them is chasing u. It WILL destroy it…. You’ll thank me later ;)
Do not hit its crest as it will not do damage use a rifle or bow to shoot it from above or from behind do not let it hit you with its charge attack
I was walking until I saw a trike until I hit it and I forgot there was a trike near him and I runned and died over and over so I decided to realese my tames and 2v5 it we lost. My parasaur only survive Rip 4 tames:(
If you are a new player, try not to provoke them. I have ended up hitting trikes when using a hatchet or pickaxe on resources and ended up dead because of it. If you attack it, it will constantly try to make sure its head is facing you, preventing you from doing significant damage. It's best to use a bulky mount or tranq arrows to kill it, but if you are looking for keratin, try carbonemys instead. They are far easier to kill.
Do not shoot in the head it takes only 15% of damage to the head
What ever you do don't hurt it with any weapon's except for a trankulisor. I learned that the hardest way.
This thing killed my dodo’s it’s a killer
Adventure log-triceratops aka trike is a intresting dinosaur. It's ARK version is different from its real counterpart, marking me belive that it is a sub-species of triceratops, since it has visual and skeletal features that are genetically more related to styrakosaurus, a different dinosaur in the ceratopsidae group. The ARK triceratop's hat two top horns that stick out a lot, which makes me make this theory. I will make more observations later.
If you want to quickly grind xp then just get a slingshot and have a bunch of stones and then jump on a big boulder and shoot its body till it dies and remember to not get close to the edge of the rock or you'll get hit and go flying and probably die from the fall damage or be stunned and get turned into a fleshy pancake by a angry Trike
Don’t even think about the egg... they will frickin Yeet and delete you. I learned it the hard way.
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.
Don’t run either get on to high ground and kill it or kys
Hey you! Yes, you!
Wanna level up your trike and fast? I gots two words for you: Dilo Pack. The dilos will poison your enemies and the trike will finish them off. Never underestimate the power of teamwork.
Saw one trike trapped between two trees starts hitting with tranq then turned around and saw 3 trike coming up on me and then..... 💀
