Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a triceratops? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a triceratops.
Useful for the beginning, but now mine is just sitting at my base. Prob covered in dust.
Trikes are easy to tame and trap. Just punch one in the butt and run into a room with a gate. From there you just shoot it with tranqs knock it out and feed it berries.
If you want to do more torpor, shoot it in the cloaca (the most vulnerable spot according to Sl1pg8r)
I had a level 45 trike it got stuck in a tree and I was able to hit it a few times with a slingshot and it was mine! But when I cut down the tree it got killed! Be careful when cutting down trees for tamed dinos!!
Level up till u can upgrade to wood u r gonna need 2 roofs 3 walls 1 floor 1 door and frame and a ramp
Build a 1x1 and put 2nd roof on the side place your ramp going to the 2nd roof and shoot your trike with a slingshot run onto your roof and shoot it till it's out
On an official server I was trying to tame a lvl 20 and hit it 5 times, no more like 12, and it didn't knock out!!!!!
Don't try to tame them when in a pack. They will gang up on you. When your a low level get on a rock out of their range with a slingshot.
Use your trike to gather near the swamp for the most resources. Use the rare flowers and mushrooms to eat, same as cooked meat but doesn't spoil. Also, by the swamp you will collect X-Plant seeds.
Trikes are the most useful creatures at lower levels/starting out. Easy and simple tames. The saddle isn't to hard to create. The many resources you can get ESPECIALLY berries can help you out in the long run.
To tame get them stuck on a tree then trank.
A bola will not work on these guys. First shoot a tranq arrow into its butt and keep trying to shoot its butt. When it turns it will try to hit you. Do not try and fire tranqs into the head because it has armor on the head. When it is running toward you fire the tranqs into its feet. If it charges at you run for your life in all directions. Once it had high torpor it will try to flee. Fire a bunch of tranqs into its butt before it gets knocked out in water where piranhas will eat it or in the woods where raptors will eat it. Once it’s knocked out throw a bunch of mejoberries into it until it’s tamed. Keep an eye on it so a dilo or raptor doesn’t try to eat it.
Get 100 rocks and stand on top of a rock and shoot it with your slingshot
The only way that I have knocked dem out so far is by using tranq arrows
I tamed a lvl 16 trike when I was lvl 6. Honestly so easy just craft a slingshot, make sure you have enough ammo, I’d say around 40-60 rocks, get high up and shoot away!
Welp. I’m lvl 100 and I tamed a 290 it came out as a 434 I’m not sure why I tamed it I just did I’m gonna pump speed health and melee and name it frank the tank
I got mine early game because it was stuck between some trees and I kept on hitting it with a club
I bet many people did not know this but if you hit a trike on the head there is almost no torpor goes into it. So shoot it anywhere else but the head.
I challenge you to test this out!
To knock one out stay far and use tranq darts or arrow or slingshot do not hide in your house or else say bye to all of your belongings
Use a slingshot, bait one to a open area, then keep on constantly running in circles around it while shooting it. Worked for me when I was level 5, and my trike is now level 56 aand can easily defeat a alpha raptor. Try to get one early game, so it can level easily as you level.
NEVER TAME TRIS IN GROUPS!!!!! I’ve done it before
Tried to tame it. Killed my All my animals.
