What is a trilobite used for? trilobite battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Best way to farm chitin from these guys: use a moschops. The moschops can collect around 200 chitin for one trilobite where as using an axe will give you around 80. Only downside, moschops can't get pearls or black pearls from them, so you'll have to collect those another way.
These little guys are just there, chilling. Unless you need chitin or silica pearls. For me, on the Steam version, I have a base on a peninsula near Weathertop. There is a shallow river by my base. Sometimes I will see these things in that river. Sometimes I will see them at Herbivore Island. If you have SCUBA gear or some kind of fast and reliable aquatic mount, you can find them in the deep ocean.
Trilobite everything you need to know
These guys are either herbivores or scavengers they don’t any beef with the living. They have tough outer shell witch is resistant to projectiles like arrows but is less resistant to melee weapons like axes, picks and of course swords. They cannot be tamed on mobile or switch they can only be tamed on pc or consule. They are a handy source of chitin, oil, pearls, and a small amount of meat.
