If you are getting chased by some dangerous dino then bronto could be your defender..just run under his legs fast as possible and watch the free battle against bronto vs the one you were chased by!!😁

I’m a level 26 playing on mobile. To tame one o’ these brutes just get on a cliff and shot 11 tranq arrows out of crossbow then give it all the berries you have.
Use bio toxin to keep it unconscious.

The best place to find theese is herbivore island /small tip:NEVER LEAVE UR DINOS ON AGRO THERE/
I suggest a raft to get there, bring some Dino’s too
There’s at least a single bronto there, but usually there’s two.

Bring at least a 500 berries, at least, plz do more tho

I also say u get some major soothing balm, and at least 60 tranqs,

Plz like so people see

Also there’s metal rocks on herbivore island

The Brontosaurus is a behemoth of a dinosaur with a powerful tail 'tail sweep' attack that can smash all nearby enemies. This method is also one of the most efficient ways to gather berries and thatch, and the Brontosaurus' ability to carry large quantities of items make it even more useful for gathering. With its ability to carry a Platform Saddle, the Brontosaurus is often considered a must-have dinosaur for nomadic tribes looking for a mobile base.

What does a Brontosaurus eat? In ARK: Survival Evolved, the Brontosaurus eats Exceptional Kibble, Carbonemys Kibble, Crops, Fresh Barley, Fresh Wheat, or Soybean, Dried Wheat, Mejoberry, and Berries.
