Tips & Strategies
This is what’s you’ll need to tame it:narco berries narcotics tranq arrows and some wood structures. Step one: make a taming trap. Make it big Enough so the trike can’t get out make a ramp into the trap and a small door for a survivor to fit in. Step two: Hit the trike run into the trap and go through the small door. Step three get on top of the ramp and start shooting it with Tranq arrows. Also DON’T SHOOT AT THE HEAD THEY HAVE EXTRA PROTECTION THERE.step four:once it’s knocked out put your narco berries and narcotics in the trike and wait for it to be tamed. If this helped please hit the arrow pointing towards the sky.

Utility Roles for Trike:
1. Tank. When faced with head on damage, they have a damage reduction. Be sure to pair with mate for extra damage resistance (level Health).
2. Short Range Scout. The Trike is not very fast, but again, due to the damage resistance it has (and it's just general beefiness), it can serve as a good scout for early game. Much better than the Para in that regard (level Health, Stam, and Movement Speed).
3. Harvester. This boi can collect quite a decent amount of wood and fiber, much more than you can by hand. Use with Charge attack for extra resources! (level Weight and Stamina).
4. Defender. Use him to defend your base and smaller tames. Really the only early game threat a Trike can't handle are alphas and the occasional Theri. But trust me, I've seen one of these things face down a Sarco and live (level Health and Melee Damage)
My name is ShinyChimchar01 and if you like these tips, please up (next tip will be on Raptor)
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 😌✨
First, for low levels, I suggest finding one that is stuck in between two trees which is surprisingly common. I used a crossbow, but you could just use a bow. Craft tranq arrows. Shoot at the belly, and try to do it quickly before it can get free. I suggest 4-6 tranq arrows, maybe more for a higher level. I brought a few narcotics just in case, but I didn’t use any so you don’t necessarily have to. Bring about 20-40 berries, probably more, and you’ll most likely have extra. Put it in the triceratops’s inventory and wait (in my experience it went up by 2%, so make sure you’re ready for a wait). If you leave it’s side the taming will still go up. After it is tamed, name it!
Extra: bolas will NOT work, if you use them they will start to attack.
Uses: they can be extremely strong (I have seen a group of 2-3 trikes kill a sarco, which is a much more high-level tame). Once a saddle is crafted, they are not very fast but they do collect thatch easily from trees as well as short amounts of wood. They get much more berries from a single bush than you can. They do not jump when you’re riding.
Thanks for reading! Sorry it was so long. Please up for the noobs to see! And of course, have a nice day.
In Soviet Russia trike tame u
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.
It's not as hard as I thought to Knock it out I did it with a wooden club (definitely dint die like 4 times)it was only a level 4 but it's cool (boost this so low level beginners can see).
Never slingshot or shoot tranq arrows at the trike’s head. They have extra protection there. aim for the body instead.
I can not stress enough to my friends how useful the trike is. Early game it makes a great pack animal. Late game in groups of three or four it can be used as a decent battle mount. Taming a trike early on can be a great way to start a large base and keep you well fed with berries.
I think trikes give you more berries.up if you think to
A lvl 20 trike can kill anything when your on the saddle if your not riding it then a lvl 1 raptor will be able to kill it put a saddle go to an alpha or rex spino and the trike will be able to obliterate it lvl melee and health to get the most powerful trike my trike tri horn can kill megs underwater I don’t what’s going on but trikes are underrated
So this is all that I know about uses of trikes
1: they are good for protection even if wild and could be in groups of 3
2: they have red heads if there's a spino/rex/giga so run
3: you can spam attack so it can take on rexes
4: very tanky if you pump health into it
5: easy tame so you can always get one even if you noob
6: can give horn thingy so you can make saddles
7: can swim fast in water (out run's megs)
8: has a stun attack so you can hit and run
Now for weakness:
1: raptors can dis mount you
2: can't kill spinos
3: slow
4: not that useful in late game
That's all I know :written by dragonii
👆 For noobs to see and learn the uses
For those dealing with the same thing as me, finding 2 or several together. Trikes defend themselves in packs so don't try to tame one when it's nearby.
The ideal is to arrest the one you want to tame and kill the other so there are no more complications. They are slow and run out of stamina quickly, so just attack, run a little and finish him off.
Your Pocket Triceratops Taming Guide
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some info-
Ah, the trike. Your trusty early-game berry gatherer and a surprisingly strong (and surprisingly slow!) mount. You've probably tamed one before, but if you haven't, you've come to the right place.
Taming-
I would recommend using tranq arrows or darts, although you shouldn't really need to tame a trike by the time you unlock tranq darts. Get up somewhere high (But be careful as trikes can climb better than you'd think) or get it stuck between two trees. If you want you could use a trap, but it shouldn't be nessesary. As for taming food, my choice would be mejoberries. They're easier to obtain than crops and actually tame it quicker! You'll need 85 mejoberries for a level 150. As for narcotics, you'll need to bring some, no matter what level you're going after.
Saddling and Stats-
Good bulky tames with a high health stat. Stamina is average, and is the one I put the most points into. Saddle is simply made from hide, wood and fibre (I think).
Breeding-
I haven't written a section on breeding one of these guides before, and I don't know too much about trike breeding, so don't take my word as fact. One thing you'll need, berries. Trike eggs can be hatched under 3-4 standing torches and are herbivores (obviously). You should be able to give the hatchling a few stacks of berries and forget about it.
I hope this guide helped someone today. If you liked, please consider sharing it with friends!

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.
