Tips & Strategies

What are tips for brontosaurus? Tips and strategies for brontosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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
These things can be aggroed on by:
Allosauruses,
Spinos,
Rexes,
Alpha Rexes,
Yutyrannuses,
Carcharos,
Gigas,
Rhynios,
And finally megatheriums that somehow got the insect buff
If it is able to aggro onto a bronto without it aggroing the animal first that means it is aggressive to and will attack any and all other tames.
This also applies to the paracer as in terms of prey the paracer can be aggroed on by the same creatures listed above.
If you are being chased by a huge carnivore like a rex, spino, giga, carcharo, or rhynio just run through a brontosaurus legs as fast as you can as the huge carnivore will stop attacking you and instead attack the bronto and most likely kill it. If instead you are being chased by a carno then too bad because they don't attack brontos.
Don’t touch giant blue eggs in the forest if you value existence
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.
Warning! Legs can look like tree trunks when farming wood with a Castorides. Brontos don't like things chewing their legs.
Simply find a sizable cliff and get it to chase you to it, then start pumping it full of Bill Cosby's special nectar

If you wanna tame one easy just get alot of tranq arrows and a bow or crossbow and alot of berries and a few nacro berries 50 or 100 and shoot it, it will chase you so you just have to run and turn around shoot again and run and because they are slow they won't catch you and if its running away chase it that means its sleepy and then when it sleeps put the food and nacro berries done
If you are being chased by a huge carnivore just run through a brontosaurus legs as fast as you can.
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
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 :)
