How do I tame a triceratops? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a triceratops.
I tranq one and was taming it... they really really like rock carrots so when taming them don’t forget them!!!
find a level 20ish alone and shoot it with some tranq arrows, no trap needed if it's low level. only needs like 5 but pack extra in case you miss or hit its head. goes down in a few shots, don't shoot its head because the torpor your arrow does is reduced like crazy compared to the body. tames fairly quick, just shoot down dilos and the like before they aggro and kill it.
To tame:
Materials: 8 Wooden fence foundations, 8 wood door frames, slingshot, mejoberries, simple bed.
Next lay down the bed and go to sleep for 7 hours. (Only works in single player)
1. Lay the fence foundations down in a 2x2 grid and put dirt frames on every one but the two facing the trike. 2. Hit the trike and lead it through the trap. 3. Lay down the two final floor frames and start slingshotting it’s body. 4. Due to sleeping the food bar should be at zero put the berries in and it should tame almost immediately.
Well it took me 5 HOURS ,I managed to knock out a 180 trike without a TRAP ,I don’t know if you know how hard this is it is ridiculously hard
Just lead the into a 4x4 trap and knock the out using tranq arrows
You can tame them with mejoberries if you want, juwt check on them in a while not frequently as they have low torpor drain rate
It’s can be easy to tame trikes, but for me, the area where they all are they team up together, so you attack one, you attack up to 3 or more. One on its own can be quite easy to tame/kill, but whatch out for nearby backup from other trikes.
Today I will explain to you how to tame a trike! But first let’s get packed!
TRAP: You will need a trap! I suggest using wood door frames so you can shoot the trike! Make a ramp and like I said use door frames instead of walls so you can escape without being trapped and killed and so you can shoot the trike!
TAMING FOODS: Bring narcotics but you will most likely not need them! and lots of narco berries! You can use crops but I use berries!
TAMING: Stand at the top of the wood ramp and shoot the trike with your crossbow or just a plain bow and tranq arrows! The
trike will aggro on you and will follow you! When it gets close run into the trap and out of a wooden door frame! The trike will get into the trap and will get stuck! Then it’s the easy bit! Just shoot it with tranqs until it gets knocked out and put in your taming food options!
PATIENCE IS KEY: wait for the trike to take its merry time in inhaling down the food like a greedy baby with a lollipop- and then you have it! Give it an awesome name and there you have it a trike!
NAME SUGGESTIONS: name suggestion time because I am built different! Ahem.. Bull, Horn, Devil, Bulldozer, Destroyer of Worlds, Destruction, Stampede, Rodeo!! I CAME UP WITH THESE NAMES SO THEY ARE A LITTLE RANDOM-…
USES: They are amazing for large amounts of thatch! And smaller portions of wood! They also collect more berries then you can and are op! I have once seen 2-3 trikes take down a sarco! They are amazing for defending your bases and are proven to be useful when locating for a new base area!
EXTRA: You can not use a bola on them! They will aggro on you if you do and after that you know the rest!
There you have it! Happy Taming!

Make sure you find a chunky rock or the trike will, in fact, charge you, they also runaway right before knocking out so don't let yours run into water pass out and drown!! :( rip lvl 150 trike
This is Dinosaur Man’s Teriffic Triceratops Taming Guide for Teen-Level Tamers! (excuse that ridiculous name)
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!
You can knock these out with a slingshot, but it takes a while and is dangerous unless you climb up a large rock or cliff.
So what you do is get a lot of the purple berries and those black ish berries. Go on a higher rock that the trike cannot get to u. Use a slingshot and aim near the body. The head has too much armor on it and cannot knock it out. The body is the most Vulnerable. The black ish berries will make its Unconsciousness go up and it saves you a good amount of time to tame it. I hope this info was good enough!
For all the starters out there.Whenever you are trying to tame this kind of dinosaur all you have to do is get at least 30 to 40 rocks and 2 slingshots incase the other one break.From there you can get into a very steep hill it will not be able to get up and throw the rocks but if shoot it’s head,It will get reduced damage so I recommend you shoot the body, then you can feed it any type of berry you want. Hope this helped 😉
The torpor on a trike drops in a pattern of .3, .4, .1 and repeats over and over until it wakes up! Be safe hunters!
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…
A level 1 can be knocked out with 3 tranq darts
I nice first tame but can kill you fast in groups
Just get on a ledge. If you can’t climb it they can’t. Find a way to get up to the top of the ledge and tranq it with tranq arrows. Very simple tame.
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
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!
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.
