What is a triceratops used for? triceratops battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Trikes are good tames in general. This thing has your back if you need thatch or berries. Personally, I use it when moving to a new area because it can deal with predators pretty easily and it can carry all my stuff. They’re great base defenders too. Wild Trikes also have a feature where when there is a large predator nearby (Rex,Spino) their head with glow red.
Hope this helped!

Must have early game creature. Great knock back means it can take on tough threats by knocking them back before getting hit. On mobile, do the hunt dilo pursuit and get yourself a nice bow. Once you get tranq arrows, nothing is stopping you from taming rexes and spinos. Use your trike to tank and shoot them from far away so you have more time before they reach you. I do this a lot on mobile. And you can use the trike to get narcoberries for making narcotics.
The ultimate herbivore island guide
First to get to herbivore island get a raft. There are megalodons around the island and maybe a basilo.
After you get to the island make spike walls around your base to keep phiomias and parasaurs away. Make your house in the walls. A nice house design for now is the “second little phiomia” house and upgrading it to stone later is good.
After you have a wood house start taming. A first tame can be phiomia, parasaur, or anky. To tame an anky walk backwards while shooting a slingshot. Then feed any of the pets mejoberries.
On herb island there is 7 creatures that live there. They are parasaur, phiomia, trike, ankylo, stego, bronto, and titanosaur very rarely. I have only seen a titanosaur once.
Once on the island keep leveling until you get pteranodon saddle. Once you have the engram build it and bola a pteranodon, slingshot or tranq arrow it then feed it dodo egg kibble.
A good idea for leveling is taking the pteranodon out and then getting explorer notes.
Another good idea is to make a mejoberry farm and then replace it or add a crop farm, I used carrots.
Keep progressing through the game and move to the mainland whenever you want. Remember, herbivore island is good for starting but in mid-late game it gets less useful. There are only 7 creatures on herbivore island so it gets boring after a while. Ps If you need keratin hunt ankylos.
This dino is a really helpful starter tame! Since they have the knockback effect, you can kill a therizino with them to protect your base :) I tamed one and it was really helpful! It helped me get rid of this pesky therizinosaur that was roaming really close to my very first/starting base!
Trikes have great good knock back, so long as you take pauses between hits, you can regenerate stamina. Also, if you need to, you can tank some hits if you need to. My trike was able to fend off some accidentally attacked pachytherium, and he still lives to this day. This can apply for creatures like titanoboa and raptors, so it’s a handy trait if you need to.
