What is a triceratops used for? triceratops utility tips and strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Useless, unless for leather (a little bit)
Doesn't have much meat as well, doesn't provide any special availability, and even if they does a great job to defend themselves, when not tamed, once they're, came defenseless...
Just help to carry things
Bronto is a bit more difficult to tame, but actually provide so much higher carrier ability...
This is Not a great travel mount. Instead, tame one and keep it near your base to collect berries from bushes and clear tree's if you need to or need thatch.
Once you have one, don't be afraid to tame another far away from your base wherever your exploring and simply leave it there. Travelong on a trike takes a whole day just to do the southern coastline.
They are vital for making narcotics and other potions/mixes and rubs
These guys are great for many reasons
1. Base protection (if you have enough of them)
2. Berry gathering
3.wood and thatch gathering
But don’t make a tame trap for these. You can usually outrun them while you are taking them. If for some reason you are not fast enough, you can just jump behind a tree. Another tip I have is putting most points into
1. Melee damage
2. Stamina
3. Weight
Those stats are preferable if you are planning on using your trike for gathering
Probably the single most useful tame in the early to mid game, and makes an excellent addition to any breeder’s egg layers late game. A 130+ wild tamed with berries and leveled with an even split into health, weight and damage can take on anything the island has to throw at you on land, barring Gigas, Titans and high level Alpha Rexes. This Dino alone will transition you from early game struggles to survive to absolute wrecking ball. The berry gathering capability and general tankiness make the Trike an essential early tame. Forget the dilos and raptors, take a high level Trike.
My trike was the second thing I tamed and I use it for everything. Since it tamed up at lvl99, I have killed 3 allos at the same time, a carnival or two, numerous troodons, raptors and dilos, a Rex, an alpha raptor and much much more. 10/10 for utility. Taming runs (mobility and defence), metal runs (anky defence), berry collecting, killing sprees, adventuring into new areas... anything is possible on a trike (ok except for defending from titans, gigas, possibly alpha rexes if they are high level and thyla attacks but you get the drift). I may not even replace it with my 115 spino that I have waiting for a saddle.
