Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a triceratops? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a triceratops.
WHERE I LIVE TRIKE TAME U yep like that yep
I got two of em and I thought they were so hard to tame lol
The ston piller and ladder trick will works for most dinos. Just put 10 stone piller in height and climb with ladder in range of dino where you can shoot him. If you are short of stones to build pillers you can also make less but make sure dino is not able to reach you at that height. You know what to do if this is helpful. ∆∆∆
And to nock it out use a long neck riffle put 15 darts it should fall asleep quicker
So far I've only seen people suggesting knock out methods that either don't often work or just take more resources and time than is necessary....
I tamed a lv 270 Trike with my method and it was super easy and afterwards it was lv 400+ and is the main Dino I take with me when I wander and I put ALL stats into HP, and Attack. Putting some into stamina til you have around 1k stamina isn't a bad idea as that allows you to last through long fights that require you to rapid attack the entire time.
Easy and high lv Trike method that works on ALL lv Trikes.
Step 1. Craft around 200 tranq arrows to allow for mistakes.
Step 2. Bring 1 crossbow and 2 bows just in case something unexpected happens.
Step 3. Stand as far away as possible while still being able to land a shot so you can get a head start.
Step 4, shoot and run while not looking back for like 7 seconds, then turn around and fire your bow while walking backwards, the bow allows for faster firing but provides less Torpor than the Crossbow unless it's an ascendant bow. When it gets within say 10 feet of you turn around and run. Rinse and repeat til knocked out. Takes like 2 minutes.
The slow, hard, time consuming method..... Only effectively works for low lv Trikes between lv 1and lv 30 due to the large amount of stones needed. For Reference you will want around 250-300 stone and 3-5 slingshots for a lv 40.
Step 1. Make your house out of wood or stone, wood is easier to do early on.
Step 2. Leave 1 wall off so that you can fire your slingshot from inside the safety of your home.
Step 3. Find a low lv Trike no higher than lv 40 if you want an effective tame that doesn't take all day in game to knock out.
Step 4. Stand at max range from Trike since you are likely a super low lv and very slow with limited stamina.
Step 5. Land 1 shot with the slingshot, turn and run full speed towards your house. Only look back at your own risk if you think he or she is no longer chasing you or is somehow stuck. Don't attempt to climb rocks as any rock you can jump onto from the ground lv they are able run straight up and over.
Step 6. Remember that wall I told you to leave off your house?? Run straight towards it and jump to enter your house through that.
Step 7. Stand close enough that it stays aggro to you but far enough back where it can't attack you.
Step 8. Dinos are sneaky in ARK. It will act like it's getting close to unconscious several times, do not think it's running away and leave the safety of your house unless it just keeps going the other way without turning around at you. To prevent it from aggroing onto something else or not coming back just step into the door like area without dropping to the ground while firing off shots at its "retreating form" unless close to unconscious it will turn back and charge at you.
Basically the only good garunteed way to tame a Trike before you get Tranq arrows and a bow.
Be carefup, if you attack one then all of the other ones nearby will attack you, I accidentally got chased by there's at a time and then wasted all my tranq arrows on the low level ones🤣🤣🤣
I found my trike stuck between trees so tamed him easily but if ur trike isnt stuck u will need a:atleast 15 tranq arrows, a trap that works, and not as much berries as u think cause I tamed mine with like 50 berries and thats all u need to know
I found by climbing on a rock or being above on a mountain side I could shoot the animals, using near arrows and knock them out. Because I’m on higher ground they can not get to me. Once they are knifed out I runs down and place the berries in their bellies and wait for them to be tamed. Then I name them.
I jave a tric lvl 337 and really nothing (i mean it nothing) will can stand in your way spino hehe dead rex haha already dead and he is good swimmer too.
Make an army of trikes rule the world
When I fist began they scared me but after I got one myself I realized they are very slow . So I lured another one in between two trees and shot it down with some trank arrows.Very effective would recommend tho make sure to hit them while standing in front or they will turn around and get out of the trees. And aime for the feet , they take less damage from the head .
How to tame a trike:
Step 1: find your perfect leveled trike
Step 2:climb on the biggest rock you find(make sure the trike cant climb on it)
Step 3: start hitting him with tranq arrows (or stone)
Step 4: hit till hes down
Step 5: put in narcoberrys and food for taming (i use mejoberrys)
Step 6: feed him untill hes tamed
There you have it.
To tame simply trap it with like 4 campfires or stand on a tall rock good for obsidian and metal runs if you don’t have a anky or rg.
just pump weight have raptors or dilos for protection
Great berry gatherer and thatch
Goodish for fighting
Sincerely lonely dodo 🦤
Nah nah nah guys listen to me, if you see a high lvl trike in a pack the easiest way to separate it is by getting on your pteranodon and walking into it, because the trike is passive it won’t attack and you will actually push it away far enough to tame it!!! give it an up so people can know this for low players
Just build a foundation 3 walls upland a ceiling and 2 ladders and there ya go a cheap shooting place btw it cant hit ya up there hope this helped have a nice time taming:)
Shoot them and then run in between 2 rocks so it can’t get you
If you don’t have arrows use rocks and throw them if you do this you will need to be on a giant rock the tri can’t climb on when knocked out then feed it and then it should be tamed after a while
So afraid to tame these thing, or was…. Found one stuck, 4 shots out… ok….. I feel dum for overestimating these things so much lol 😟😅😂🤣😂🤣
How come when I try taking it it always dies no matter what I do?
Hit them once from a distance they’ll charge at you and it does serious damage, try and get high ground and try to tame once your faster than it (180% movement speed).
