ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
1) Get a decent gear & weapon(s) (Fab sniper/Longneck/AR/Pump Shotgun are best) with high damage output. Recommend Mastercraft or Ascendent for faster taming.
2) Get a high HP tame. (Must be able to shoot off the back)
3) Once located, use your mount to attack it once to gain aggro. You will occasionally need to let it hit your mount to continue the aggro.
4) Stay at a safe distance while waiting patiently for it to stand on its hind legs.
5) While mounted, use your weapons to shoot it in its hind legs. (NOTE: Hit below the knee for max torpor effect. The higher damage weapon = higher torpor output.)
6) Rinse & repeat each step until the Brachi is unconscious. Then proceed to feed it Excetional Kibble (yellow) or Longrass. (NOTE: Do NOT use berries or you will need absurd amount of Narcotics & taming efficiency will be at minimum)
Congratulations, you have earned yourself the best gathering mount in the game! Have fun & enjoy survivor!
More Brachiosaurus [MOD] Taming & KO Tips
About brachiosaurus:
- You can find these in places like jungles and grasslands
- Their taming method is pretty unique, so im gonna explain it in detail:
1. Aggro the brachio
2. Make it go into its bipedal stance
3. Then shoot it in the legs(recommend pumps or snipers)
4. Repeat untill the brachio falls unconscious
5. Feed it with berries/veggies/kibbles
Note- their torpor falls VERY QUICKLY, so feed them often with narcotics
- Once tamed, these behemoths can be used both as a war machines, and a resource harvesters!
- Sadly, even though they are gigantic, they dont have a platform saddle:(
Hope this helped in anything!
You guys can just use a velonasaur to shoot it legs when itโs in its bipedal stance. It does a butt ton of torpor. Creature is from ark additions by garuga
Brachiosaurus are an unconventional KO tame.
Knocking one out requires a bit of patience and lots of bullets of any kind. Itโs also recommended to clear out rocks and trees from the area for a clear shot to their hind legs.
To KO a Brachi
1. Shoot at the Brachiosaurus with arrows from a bow or crossbow, as this deals a tiny amount of damage, to draw their aggression
2. Keep running away, occasionally shooting more arrows to keep it aggroโd, until it rears up on its hind legs
3. When on its hind legs, you have to shoot its back legs below their knees with any bullet-based weapon (shotguns or fabricated sniper rifles recommended) While in this state, it is faster than a player, and will perform a devastating mega stomp attack if it catches up to you. Try to keep to its sides as it has a poor turning circle.
4. Repeat the process until it is knocked out. Shooting the brachiosaurus accidentally after it is knocked out shouldnโt decrease taming effectiveness, but care should still be taken to avoid overly damaging it. When the brachi is not in its standing state, and when you hit it with bullets outside of its hind leg area, it takes much more damage and could be killed.
ADDITIONAL TIPS
Use shotguns for the majority of the taming process but use a sniper rifle for the last bit of torpor. There is a window of time where you can run up to the brachi as it leaves its bipedal stance and use a magnifying glass to check its torpor levels. This will help avoid accidentally killing or overly damaging your brachio
If the brachiosaurus is looking injured, dragging corpses of creatures nearby and allowing it to perform its mega stomp attack is a quick way to heal it
Brachiosaurus prefer Exceptional (gold) Kibble and donโt like Mejoberries as much as other herbivores. Feed them only kibble or veggies when possible
Get it to sand on its back legs. Brake those ankles.
Destroy its knee caps and that will knock it out
If you are on the island get them stuck on green ob safest tame ever
How to tame:
1. Aggro the brachi
2. Get it into bipedal stance
3. Shoot it with preferably snipers in the legs until it falls over
4. Feed it exceptional kibble (yellow) and LOTS of narcotics
5. Go around and one tap your friends and their bases
Use yellow kibble to tame it. After knock down.
MAKE SURE to bring LOTS of Narcotics/berries. Id recommend taming with kibble and DONT use a shotgun at the end. It can ruin the taming effectiveness! Hope this helps!
Can someone help I keep killing it or getting it to low before I knock it out (yes Iโm only hitting the knees and not itโs body) should I use a gun that does less damage?
