Encountering Tips

How do I kill a triceratops? triceratops battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
(mobile) Kinda weird position in game. It's supposed to be an "early game" tame as well as a "quick and easy" one. But realistically it's...just not. It doesn't get caught by bola, it has damage resistance on the head, and it can charge up to a survivor very easily. (compared to the likes of turtles and dilos.) I would recommend just leaving them alone until you unlock tranq arrows, as clubs and slingshots take just too much time for it to be rewarding.
I JUST KILLED 2 REXS WITH THIS WAR MACHINE
I SUGGEST TO NOT HIT IT! These things are DANGEROUS. But you can use a tranq arrows and run while shooting
Never knockout a trike while by a river cause a allosaurus came by and ate it 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣
My trike died to a whole battalion of megaladons
Do not steal their eggs and just don’t attack them.
Their cool with you around their eggs.
I live in a trike nest and they don’t care that I have a dilo.
The Triceratops won't attack you unless you attack it first. Once angered, it will charge at you, however, it isn't the fastest creature, making it relatively easy to outrun.
A tip that helped me survive I ran into a body of water and waited until they calmed down
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
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.
I made the mistake of shooting a level 60 trike with a Stone arrow. And well you no what happened next
If you take a Trike egg, Get out of ark and X out of the tab and they won’t be angry anymore, ALSO IF YOU ENCOUNTER ONES EGG AND PICK IT UP DO NOT RUN TO YOUR BASE
If you tamed one of this congrats this one is the most Op dinosaur in early game this one saved my life while walking in the forest and alpha raptor rush in and try to kill me lucky this guy save my ass and I level up quickly because we killed the alpha raptor I named this pet Cera I could not forget how he save my ass
I’m not sure if this is helpful but every time I’ve gone near a dilophasauraus while mounted on my trike it hasn’t attacked me.
It's slow. if your new, do not engage.most people can get away from them, though. They can knock you off cliffs too.
Trikes are one of the best starter animals as they are strong and pretty quick. A low level trike can be knocked out with just your fists or a club but you have to be careful of their charge attack. Trikes are one of the best berry gatherers and gather hundreds a minute. In conclusion, the trike is the best starter Dino to have.
Just don't try if you don't have good stuff
When gathering berries around the beach, keep an eye to your surrounding so that you don’t accidentally hit a trike. I got ragdolled across the river when 2 of them did a synchronized thrust
This thing has some crazy knock back it can kill alpha raptors easily and mid level alpha carnos
I saw a trike lay an egg so I picked up the egg and ran to my base (made of wood) where it destroyed my walls, so I just died to it and thought it would stop... IT KEPT ON GOING! And destroyed everything😭 TIP: Do NOT pick up the damn eggs!
