Utility Tips
What is a triceratops used for? triceratops battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
I like the idea of the trike spear but I think it should be called the trike glaive because the spear and pike have a more straight metal/flint tip but the trikes horn is curved and the glaive tip is more curved like the trikes horn so credits to the person who made the trike spear

The trike is a very good tame early game since it is better at gathering berries and thatch than a parasaur. From my experience, the stego isn't buffed on mobile (no plate modes), wich makes a trike more useful in my opinion. You also unlock its saddle at a really low level (16) so it's not difficult to get. They are quite tanky and powerful so it's a good bodyguard against raptors. Dilos don't aggro on it so you don't need to worry about those. I hope this tip was helpful and have a good day!
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.
You can use this as a raid tool in mobile because it can instantly break wood/thatch structures with a specific attack. You know the charge? The structure hitbox will always be there, so when the triceratops does the charge, it will deal (kind of) infinite damage because structures take no knockback. After the walls are broken, you can send out many raptors to take out the people, another trike to destroy the containers, and optionally a carno to also help with killing the players and cleaning up, because it is fast and does decent damage, and also eats meat, ensuring the enemies won’t find their bodies again.
Up if this helped with your early-game raids!
When tamed these a guys are great early game as they have high carry weight and good speed and if you get a high level one it gets high stamina, speed, hp, melee damage, and weight and the charge can stun enemies which is helpful for fighting big things that can get in the way.
I strongly recommend everyone to tame this creature and pump stamina weight and a little bit of health and speed as this will turn it into the perfect all around useful mount it's knock back effect , his ability to farm berries and if his weight is high allows him to carry ultimate amounts of resources and survive most predators
