Tips & Strategies
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!
Steal it’s egg, get yeeted out of orbit
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

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!!😁
If you knock it out do not let it fall on you
Don’t touch giant blue eggs in the forest if you value existence
How to tame a bronto!
This beast is imposing, and has a powerful attack. But tamed, it has many uses. First, we should tame them. Let’s prepare!
Brontos are giant, powerful herbivores, towering over the annoying diplos. They are mainly found on the many beaches, but there can be found surely on a few spawns in the southern islets and the middle of the southern jungle.
The materials:
A few hundred tranqs with a crossbow. Use Dododex, and better safe than sorry!
Some narcs, but their torpor drops slowly.
A cliff or tapejara.
Some crossbows and a mount, best be a flyer.
Method:
You need to stand on the tapejara whistled on follow. Face away from the bronto, change to the back seat, and shoot until it is sleeping.
Also, you can call the bronto’s attention from a cliff and shoot.
Remember, watch out for carnivores. These could kill you, your mount, and the bronto!
Utility:
It can gather tons of berries.
It carries a lot, and can have a platform with a small base.
It can yeet stuff into oblivion.
It has a lot of health, best for tanking.
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!!
I tamed my first one today and she has loads of weight! I'm gonna get her platform saddle then build stuff on it she will be my mobile base my dinos will be her defense force she's gonna be on wandering because I'm tired of staying at base so I'm gonna live on her my baryonyx for underwater defense paracer for bigger enemies and raptor packs dimorphs for nibbling on allos and and Rex's and yeah that's my whole defense force
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.
Warning! Legs can look like tree trunks when farming wood with a Castorides. Brontos don't like things chewing their legs.
To tame you want about 10-20 stacks of 100 berries and 200 narco to get those get a trike( triceratops) those are great for harvesting. Here are a few steps
1. Get trank arrows and a bow. Use a bow because you won’t need many arrows if it is less than lvl11 plus an crossbow takes to long to reload
2. Shoot is a ton it will pass out don’t worry
3. Fill it with berries
4. Get a saddle
Have a HUGE HERO THAN IS HUGE
if this was helpful please up, I used this method for 2 brontosaurus and I haven’t lost a single one.

It’s actually really easy to tame all you need to do is climb on a tall cliff then
Shoot it around 300 times with a slingshot or
30-50 times with a tranq arrow
Once it’s knocked out feed it a bunch of berries and within an hour or so it should be tamed
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
Idk how in the world I managed to tame one of these this way but here’s how I did it
- hit the bronto to get its attention
- go up on cliff where it can’t reach you
- shoot it with a sling shot till it runs away from you
- chase it down hitting its legs with a club (and dying a few times in the process)
- once knocked out give it soothing balm and some berries
- be amazed how fast it tames (around 1 minute, normally takes 20-30 minutes but depends on the level)
Now you have a big buddy :)
Bronto will knock down trees to get to where it needs to go.
Where bronto wants to walk, bronto will go.
Ok hello there ones who are looking to tame a Bronto or more.
Ok,so what I suggest is to make 2-3 stacks of arrows and like 100 of I'd say probably citronal(lemon),rockarrot(carrot),Savoroot(potato),or corn(srry I forgot the name of 🌽 in the game) for it to eat.
Note-You might need more arrows for higher level brontos tho because they regularly have 2300 health.Some may have 3200 or more.
After making the arrows and gathering the food you can make a bow or crossbow (order of the crafting is ur choice).
Then find a bronto,I suggest trying to find either just 1 or trying to find 2 of the same gender so only the 1 u attack cares😅.
After finding a bronto,if not already in a rocky area,then lead it to a rocky area where it will get stuck and u can then just constantly shoot arrows at it.It might start to kinda run sometimes and u can go near to see if it's running cuz it's at low enough health for that,if it turns to u,then RUN,because it is actually just running in the opposite direction because it's trying to reposition so it can go past the rock.
Then continue to do this until u find it actually trying to run away cuz of low health,shoot it with a few more arrows till its at like 163 health (when mine stopped attacking with its tail finally,cuz they will run but still attack with their tail I swear I HATE IT) or lower and then club it.
After it's FINALLY unconscious you can feed it the 100 or less of (whatever u brought,hopefully not berries cuz that will do literally only 1. smt.literally,cuz I already tried) and then just wait.
Also don't worry about the consciousness cuz it's LONG lasting.And then BOOM,you've gotcha self a bronto.
I'm sorry this tip is so long,this is just how I tamed my bronto a few mins ago and I wanted to really be helpful.I am sorry if u kinda die along the way (that just happened to me so I'm just saying sorry cuz it might happen to u if ur like my lvl which is 55 or 56).But yeah,good luck and I hope you like ur new bronto,next I might do diplo,I haven't tamed 1 yet but I think I know how,it's almost easy.Bye!🤩✨️
Simply find a sizable cliff and get it to chase you to it, then start pumping it full of Bill Cosby's special nectar
