Weaknesses & counter tips

Worked out from its stats

  • Low torpor — easy to knock out; a few tranq hits will subdue it.

Stegosaurus — Detailed Guide

The Stegosaurus is a slow, armored herbivore with a spiked tail. Its back plates switch between modes: one hardens it against damage, one makes its tail hit harder, and one sharpens its strikes. It is a strong berry gatherer and a tough defender.

Where to find it

It lives on The Island, The Center, Ragnarok, Valguero, Extinction and Genesis Part 1 in both games, on Astraeos and Lost Colony in ASA, and on Crystal Isles, Fjordur, Lost Island and Genesis Part 2 in ASE. Genesis Part 2 has a large share of them.

Taming

A knockout tame. Its tail hits hard, so keep your distance while you knock it out, then feed it crops, berries or herbivore kibble. Its saddle unlocks at level 26. Amounts are in the taming calculator.

Breeding

  • Egg: hatches in about 2 hours 47 minutes.
  • Temperature: 22 to 28 °C.
  • Growth: a baby matures in about 2.1 days at 1x.

Uses

Berry gathering, base defense, and a slow but durable mount.

Tips

Switch the plates to the hardened mode before a fight. It is slow, so do not count on it to escape.
