What are tips for triceratops? Tips and strategies for triceratops in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Guys it’s easy no trap needed if you are taming a low level and are too lazy to build a trap just tame a level 3 or 5 it will be down with tranq arrows in like 10 secs or 20 if you don’t have strategy and it eats berry’s
So I was reading these comments and I thought I could tame a trike, things ended horribly. I knew I needed tranq arrows, so I got them, I knew I needed narco berries, so I got them. I wrote down a whole ass paper and pencil plan. My brother doubted me, but I didn’t care, I should’ve. I thought to myself, “I am ready.” Oh but you weren’t my friend. I went out found a trike and shot it thinking it would be easy. I went to get berries and I was yeeted into outer space. I was not backing down, I tried again, died. And I kept trying until I lost my home, my dilox2, dodox2, and my parasaur. I now am terrified.
If they walk by your bed you can attack die respawn and keep doing that till it starts running then knock it out
If you want to knock the trike out with tranq arrows while it is chasing you, then aim at his legs not his head. His head is hard af. Also the same thing if u wanna kill it with arrows.
im new at this game but idk how but i tamed a baryonx i dont even have that saddle and i was going home happy and i saw a trike egg i want to get it cuz i have baryonx i thought he can kill it but no jellyfish and trike attacked my baryonx and died
To knock out, you don’t need anything. You can just get a slingshot and get somewhere it can’t reach and that’s it…
This beast of a Dino is a great starter Dino and will help you gather tons of berries and narco berries for narcotics! Not to mention this thing is a Beast!! This Dino is a good tank for early game foraging and killing medium Dino’s!
In order to trap the triceratops, yo
u will want to gather these supplies.
1 Crossbow
20 Tranq Arrows
4 Wooden Foundations
8 Wooden Doorframes
2 Wooden Ramps
50 Mejo Berrys
These supplies will help you take triceratops that are level 1-100
If you want to tame triceratops that are higher than level 100, I would recommend using stone buildings!
To tame the triceratops, first find the trike of your desire, make sure there are not other triceratops around! Then around the trike, set up a simple trap, Starting with the 4 wooden foundations, make a square shape will all four of them. Next, with the 8 wooden doorframes, put them all around the square closing of the inside area. Finally, on the side closest to the trike, set up the two wooden ramps on the side of the square. Just like that you have made a simple trap!
After you have made the simple trap, stand on the ramps and shoot the trike with your crossbow and tranq arrow, make sure you try to aim for its body and not for its protected head. The trike will then agro on you, try to have it chase you up the ramp then go into the enclosed space. The trike should then fall into the trap where it will be trapped!
After this just keep hitting the triceratops body with tranq arrows until it goes unconscious. After this you have successfully knocked it out!
Next up is taming the knocked out trike. After you have knocked it out, carefully put the 50 Mejo Berrys in the trikes inventory. After this, you can leave and do a couple errands before returning. If for some reason the trikes torpor is getting low, you can feed is some narcotics. Narcotics are crafted from 5 Narco Berrys and 1 spoiled meat in the mortar and pestle.
After all of that, you are rewarded with a new, cute pet!
Remember not to attack the Triceratops when there are more of them around. Only attack lonely triceratops because you don't want to be attacked by the herd. Triceratops are an ideal shield to protect against large predators. If you want to tame one, attack the triceratops on level 1 using the tranq arrow, you will need 5 or 10.
It actually pretty easy to tame, you just need tranq arrows, berries, and narcotics. When tamed, gathers wood decently well with charge ability, and should be your general berry collector. You can also use it’s insane knockback and charge to easily juggle enemies. (Watch them try to fight you, lol!) 8 out of 10. Very good.
How to tame:
Note: everyone thinks you need a trap, you do not. I did it, no trap needed.
1. Craft tranq arrows, a bow, and collect berries or take crops, narcoberries included
2. Find a trike and find a rock where it can’t get up
3. Shoot it with arrows until unconscious, about three
4. Put crops and/or berries and the narcoberries
5. Enjoy this addition to your pack of tames or as your first and/or only pet
Up if this was helpful, down if you want to try and find out my suggestion was helpful the hard way. I hope you guys hang in there. I have two houses, one is one a peninsula in which I was being stupid and idiotic and I led a therzino to this safe place so I’m in danger everytime I’m there.
Trike is the first good tame you gonna do.
Farmer: Its the best early tame for berries, thatch, wood.
Fighter: Can kill everything smaller than rex-allosaurus with the knockback, so when you get trike the only fear is bronto (dont try fight bronto with it) . And much important, it is one of the few tames that dmg almost in every side of it, front-left-right and UP, doing it a decent fighter against birds too, if i could bring it on caves that no jump needed i wouldn't ask for another tame ever (killing bats)
The downside: its difficult to tame. 1) on hit and run he's gonna outrun you (and other trikes help him too), 2) On 'find a spot and throw him rocks (slingshot) seems good but after he got much torpidity it will run away fast on forest or sea and never see him again 3) Trapping him between wood walls-doorframes would work only if you play on 0-30 levels of creatures, in other case it will fck the wooden building immediately. And stone buildings are very far away when you start game
To sum up, no matter the difficulty of taming, its the best early game you gonna get and i mean it.
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:(
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

First up, you’ll want to find your triceratops.
After that, you’ll either want to find a cliff to shoot it from, or make a 2x2 trap for it. You could build the trap around it if you’re really fast, or make a ramp and make it follow you inside.
Trapped/targeted your trike? I’d recommend getting to level 21 to make tranq arrows, but if not, a crossbow or bow could work. You’d just need to shoot it a lot.
Knocked out? Give it a lot of Mejoberries, about 40-60 of them. If the pink bar gets low, give it a handful of Narcoberries.
Then just wait, and you’ll have your new Triceratops! Have fun with it!
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
The way i did it was by making a small pen, i put ramps on the outside of the pen and had the trike chase me over the pen and get stuck. Make sure you made a doorway before you chase it in so you can get out. Then climb on the ramp and keep shooting it with tranq arrows.
If you find a small cliff, you can tame a really high level with a slingshot... I tamed a level 80 with a slingshot
This thing is a fossil and a dangerous 1 for everybody
