Dododex
ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
One of the easiest dinos to tame. Just be sure you have a decent amount of tranq arrows and mejo berries. It holds its own fairly well in battle thanks to its high HP and strong knock back on its tail. Another plus is that it can turn dillos and troodons into pancakes!
More Brontosaurus Taming & KO Tips
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
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
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
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.

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 :)
