Want to know how to tame a Triceratops in Ark: Survival Evolved? As you get stronger in Ark: Survival Evolved, you can tame more and more powerful and helpful creatures. In the late game, you must tame the Megatherium to farm Chitin effectively or tame the Anglerfish to get as many Silica Pearls as you want. But if you’re just getting started in Ark: Survival Evolved, Triceratops is a great ally. Thanks to the skills of Triceratops, you can attack strong enemies or clear the territory, and today we will tell you how to tame it in Ark: Survival Evolved.
Taming a Triceratops in Ark: Survival Evolved
First of all, it is worth noting that Triceratops is one of the first creatures that you can tame. We can’t deny that he is weak, and his skills are inferior to stronger dinosaurs. But still, he has a couple of advantages in the starting game. In addition, it is easy to tame, which makes it popular among beginners.
To tame a Triceratops in Ark: Survival Evolved, separate it from the herd or find a lone individual. After that, you should start attacking him using any weapon or tranquilizer if your level in the game allows you to do so. You can also create a primitive trap with a few stone pillars or lure Triceratops between trees. Triceratops are relatively weak and sluggish, so you can tame them without taking damage if they are in a trap.
Once you have dealt enough damage or put the Triceratops to sleep, he will fall unconscious, and you can try to tame him. To do this, you must create and place in his inventory Trike Saddle (Hide x 140, Fiber x80, Wood x25). But more importantly, you have to appease this big guy by placing some food in his inventory:
- Simple Kibble: 2 – 16.
- Fresh Barley: 20 – 160
- Fresh Wheat: 20 – 160
- Soybean: 20 – 160.
- Dried Wheat: 20 – 160
- Mejoberry: 27 – 213.
- Berries: 40 – 319.
Depending on the level of Triceratops and the type of food you’re using, you’ll need to place a different number of treats in the creature’s inventory. You can combine food by placing several food types in Triceratops inventory. However, we advise you to put in a little more than necessary to be sure of success. And as soon as Triceratops wakes up, it will become your friend.

How to Use a Triceratops in Ark: Survival Evolved
First of all, we advise you to tame several Triceratops at once. Thanks to their unique skill, they will increase each other’s strength and health until the end of the battle (if there is a strong enemy nearby). It will allow you to defeat stronger enemies and tame them.
In addition, Triceratops are the best creatures for clearing the area from thickets. They can pass through trees, breaking them and collecting materials that drop.
