What are tips for brontosaurus? Tips and strategies for brontosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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).
There not that good for traveling, but can hold a lot of resources.
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.
I knocked one out with a slingshot. Took me FOREVER but hey, it worked. -NPC
It takes about 30 tranq arrows to knock out but its a good pet. Upgrade damage health and speed mostly.
After taming, here’s all i concluded from the Bronto!
*Even at a low level, these beasts have 1k+ weight, making them quite useful for clearing trees and bushes
Not to mention they collect berries, thatch, and wood efficiently.
Early-game, they can serve as protection,
but later in the game, they’re mostly berries.
These are my tips! There’s more out there so don’t just listen to me
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)
Get on a Quetz and shoot from it
use tranq dart and turtle kibble and that it easy tame
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.
When taming Brontosaurus they love citrus.
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.
Not hard to nock out but long to tame if it’s a high level
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.
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…
If you’re taming a max level one, you have so much time. Like SEVEN HOURS
