Tips & Strategies

Maximum difficulty, found a lvl 95 and decided to tame it... I started with 48 tranq arrows and ended up with 1 left. It is extremely easy to tame for lower levels and is a great mobile narcotic factory.

THIS IS A JOKE DO NOT DO THIS! XD
If you wanted to tame a level 300 bronto with only your fist and mejoberries you would need to punch it 11785 times and feed it 1334 mejoberries over the course of 8 hours and 15 seconds. This could in theory work quite nicely if the bronto got stuck from some rocks, until you realize the amount of recoil damage from punching. But this isn’t over yet, if we were to create a small stone structure with a bed inside we could respawn infinitely allowing us to punch the bronto with our many lives. We would also put some spare beds in the structure just in case one breaks or stops working. Now I have wasted your time and mine by typing this. But at least you know.
who agrees that the bronto should also stomp instead of the tail whip only?
Tamed a bronto using 60 berries, no soothing balm. Took about 11 tranq darts to the head. Great at gathering berries.
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!!😁
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 knock it out do not let it fall on you
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!!
If there’s one near a cliff just get Tranq arrows and you can tame an easy bronto
(Tip: try to do it in a place that has a lot of bushes so you can pick berries well it’s knocked out and you can try to tame something else since the bronto will take a while to tame)
The bronto should have a stomp attack up so people see and it could get added😁
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 :)
