Tips & Strategies from the iOS & Android apps
Just found out something really useful about Brontos! You can use them to transport goods a long way, but sometimes you have more than the bronto can carry, so, if you pack your resources on something like a high level parasaur or iguanodon, and put it on the platform saddle, it only takes the Dinos drag weight, not resource weight, allowing you to carry tons of materials at half the weight! Arrow so people can see this!
Once you have cryo pods and a flyer go to herbie island to tame one of these i’m pretty sure they’re a guaranteed spawn and if you can get them into the horseshoe its an easy tame
Tamed a bronto using 60 berries, no soothing balm. Took about 11 tranq darts to the head. Great at gathering berries.
Steal it’s egg, get yeeted out of orbit
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!!😁
1. Get at least 50 tranq arrows with a bow/crossbow
2. Find a cliff and find a bronto near you (MAKE SURE THERES NONE NEXT TO HIM)
3. Prepare for battle, also make sure he won’t run into the water cause he will drown if he gets knocked out there.
4. ATTACK! Try for the head, it’s most useful.
5. Soon enough the giant beast will fall to the ground! Hop down off the cliff and admire the lump on the sand
6. Now fill him up with berries by the hundreds (I used 1500) But I didn’t need that much.
7. Now wait, get rid of all threats to your friend and protect him!
8. After maybe 20-30 minutes you’ll have a big ol’ protecter.
9. Bring him home and introduce him to your friends!
10. You can do it! Level 20 can do it. Flyers are useful if he gets to close. PLEASE READ
-Squirrely
If you knock it out do not let it fall on you
Narcotic Making Machine...build a Chemistry bench on your bronto and carry spoiled meat on it. Go berry gathering and get all narco berries. Start crafting for thousands of narcotics!!
Tip : Don't put wooden / metal spike walls near your base if you live in an area with a lot of sauropods.
this is why : since they like to wander around, There's a chance that they will get stabbed by the spikes when they wander near your base. And they will get mad at you, kill your tames, and wreck your base.
so please be careful and think twice before setting up spikes near your base.
thank you for reading.

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, Mejoberry, Berries, Fresh Barley, Fresh Wheat, or Soybean, and Dried Wheat.
