What are tips for brontosaurus? Tips and strategies for brontosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Get on a Quetz and shoot from it
Herbivore island is the best place to tame it, start by locating a high level, then, punch it, go to the "crater", get onto your pt(or tapejara) and fly onto the mountaintop and tranq it.
How to tame: (Pls don’t judge me this is how I tamed my lv 1 bronto)
1st. Get Atleast 50 or 40 tranq arrows
2nd. Get a fast raptor with 200 speed or more,
3rd get on your raptor
4th. Shoot the bronto from afar
5th if the bronto gets too close run away with your raptor and return when it’s far away again but you can still shoot it,
6th when you knock it out feed it 400 berries or crops you can easily get 100 crops or berries by growing them and getting berries from moschops
6th once it’s tamed use it for narcotics or use it for fights I reccomend taming this huge guy on herbivore island since mostly everything there is herbivores except for the ocean around it
It takes about 30 tranq arrows to knock out but its a good pet. Upgrade damage health and speed mostly.
I always tried to find out the personalities of the different dinos, and that caused me to flourish for a long time without trouble. Though the brontosaurus aggravates me greatly. While the Compy is the playful, curious dino who just wants to see if you have treats, and the Velociraptor is viciously loyal, going to great lengths to protect you once tamed, this bronto is the complete opposite. I always found them the arrogant ones. When i leave my home to gather resources, one will stop what its doing and cut in front of me, just daring me to do something about it. If you try to make them your friend, they snack you with their tail (which im not that bothered about, i was asking for that one.) they are the ones who seem to expect all of us to bow to them. One day i will tame a nice huge pack of like 70 dinos and murder a few of these jerks. Then maybe i will tame one or two.
I knocked one out with a slingshot. Took me FOREVER but hey, it worked. -NPC
To knock out a bronto you need a crossbow and some tranq arrows, you dont really need longneck rifle but if you wanna tame it faster use it, it is very slow but has a very strong attack, use a fast dino like iguanodon, raptor, or ANY other small fast dino.
Find the bronto you want to tame and start shooting it from far away, its really big so you can't miss a shot, if it gets too close to you it might kill you, so get on your dino and get a bit far from it, when you knock it out you will need 60-120 berries, (I suggest you to feed it the purple berries, but you can give it excepcional kibble, then wait for it to be tamed and take it to your base (I recommend using cryopod so you can move it faster)
Single player uses:
1. Mobile base: Brontosaurus has a pretty big platform saddle, you can literally just live on their back aside from getting vegetable crops. They're good on big maps like ragnarok if you can't decide where to live.
2. Berry gatherer: It has the most efficient gathering rate, just keep in mind it's slower than molasses.
3. Dino protector: Brontos have a rather low damage output for their size, but male up for it with high knockback and a massive AOE.
When taming Brontosaurus they love citrus.
How to Tame 4 Brontos in less than 30 mins with 140 tranq arrows (you will probably miss some shots so be smart about having extras like I was:)) 400 mejoberries 5 bows and no dinos on herbivore island
First aggro them and lead them to the bottom of a high cliff (the big crescent shape is what I’d recommend) with you on the edge at the top then if they can’t reach you fire away at their heads as the target and soon they will all tumble down and then you wait till 1/4-1/5 of their unconscious level is down then feed them each 100 mejoberries (100 to make sure you have enough) then in seconds you will have 4 Brontos
Hope this was helpful:)
Sarcos beat this thing up like they’re a dilo, so if you’ve got an issue with one, sarcos are easy to tame, deal great damage, have high health, and not the worst speed(though some may disagree).
Be careful fighting one, because I punched one and I got murdered lol. When your taming make sure u have the high ground so they can’t kill you when your trying to knock it out.
These guys are easy if you have a crossbow, just run, turn back, and shoot over and over. Once it's out, fill it with berries, it DOES NOT need narcotics.
use tranq dart and turtle kibble and that it easy tame
Not hard to nock out but long to tame if it’s a high level
If you take an egg or accidentally hit it but your too weak to fight it just go on a raft and in to the ocean and it will get taken town by megs.
Make sure to NOT try to take these out in the beginning… I learned that the hard way…
