Tips & Strategies
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!
On the island, I found four spread apart in the plains south of the Green Obelisk. This was the only place I have seen them spawn after three wild dino wipes.

You guys can just use a velonasaur to shoot it legs when it’s 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. It’s 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 aggro’d, 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 shouldn’t 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 don’t 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
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
If it stands up on it’s hind legs, be sure to get the hell out of dodge. On 1x servers it can do up to 1,600 damage when it slams itself down.
If you are on the island get them stuck on green ob safest tame ever
we might be getting these in ark2!
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 I’m only hitting the knees and not it’s body) should I use a gun that does less damage?
Everyone seems to have forgotten this beasts combat abilities. Its main attack is equivalent to that of a Titano’s attack, like the Titano the Brachi can use its back legs to attack flanking dinos. Its power lies in its special attacks, it’s Hind-Leg Smash has the potential to decimate hordes of Carnos and turn stone walls into pebbles! Coupled with its Fear Roar and its health this mount makes for an excellent vanguard in an open battle or a terrifying tank and battering ram in a siege. Despite not having a platform saddle it can still ‘carry’ players who stand on its rather flat back, just hold on!
