How do I kill a triceratops? triceratops battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
To the guy who says don't pick up a trike egg HE IS 1000% CORRECT don't even try teasing that thing one time I pick up a trike egg to see whose it was and the trike closest to me darted right for me so I put it down but he was still running right at me lucky for me it saved right before I grabbed the egg and then my device glitched and got me out of the game (sigh) I would have been killed if that didn't happed
Never steal an egg from a triceratops. When I did it killed me and murdered my dodo then destroyed my entire house.
Don’t take eggs without proper weaponry. Bows are the best ranged weapon for combat early on.
If you want to kill one of these things, say for hide, keratin, or meat, unlike Thanos, DON’T AIM FOR THE HEAD, it takes much less damage. If at all possible, try to strafe while shooting at it to get at its sides or get above it to hit its back
Fun tip: A sarco, lvl 10, 70, 4, doesnt matter- is the same strength as a same lvl one. Both with full health, they will hit each other, and they both deal the final blow, killing them both. Saw this on a server, 1 trike vs 1 sarco, both died without any outside intervention.
When being targeted by a trike, try to find a small gap in a mountain, or of you are in the plains, run around in circles. 😂 attacker will soon get bored and stop attacking
It's slow. if your new, do not engage.most people can get away from them, though. They can knock you off cliffs too.
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
I almost got killed by a Dilophosaurus and the triceratops Saved me
In case you have difficulty with killing trikes, and you have leveled up to the point of firearms such as the shotgun, here is my advice.:
First of all, Triceratops have resistance to damage for their head, but nowhere else on the body, so if one is charging you, you can shoot it in the leg for massive damage.
Second of all, before engaging, move the the side of the trike, load your shotgun fully, and then shoot it twice in quick succession in the chest with the shotgun, followed up by a longneck rifle shot as well. Try to keep to its side profile so that it cannot attack you, but you can attack its unarmored spots.
Third of all, keep a large distance between you and it so that it cannot easily charge you and stun you, and so you can avoid the strike if it attempts to do so.
one of the thing no one talked about is the knock back if u kept pressing LMP ur enemy will not reach u but u can because of the knock back one time i killed 3 allos amd 2 rexs with that move
If you are using ranged or melee, be sure to be on the sides cuz the trike’s head is basically a shield to both.
A.k.a minimal damage is done to the front
(Be sure to bring a Dilo or 2 when fighting these, their poison lets u easily spin around the trikes.)
Why do they glow orange?? I’m so concerned
Just set a spike wall in front and there u go a dead trike
IF YOUR NEW AND YOU WANT EGGS, DONT STEAL TRIKE EGG THE MOM WILL DESTROY YOU! TRUST ME I LEARNED IT THE HARD WAY CUZ I LIKE BABYS
I have killed 2 rex and 20 to 25 carnos and raptors with it so it is worth taming
You ecsape it by swimming, get it stuck on trees or on rock same as you do to fight it
Everything you need to know about the triceratops if you want to raid any base you can have a trike that can help you with the raid also if you have a Rex put it in front the trike to get extra protections and if your trike have a lot of health she can help you to raid bases and do not raid if you going to raid Infront of the trike your trike gonna and if you want to raid raid with trike head because the trike head has insanely PROTECTION and if this information helped you please click that button towards the sky and thank you all guys I hope this information helped you because I wasted a lot of stamina
If your new if you accidently hit it dont be scared if you have a spear you ca kill it(unless its a very high leveled one)
So what’s the best way to kill an alpha of these. I’m not very advanced and it just bugs me because it keeps blocking the entrance to my house, even if I move the entrance, like it knows. I’d like the most basic way of dealing with Alpha Trikes, please.
