What are tips for brontosaurus? Tips and strategies for brontosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I just tamed my first one earlier today that was right by my base and it took less then a minute (Thank the Dino gods) In summary for people who want a quick taming though:
1. Get it on low health so it’s food goes down, probably make some dangerous Dino chase you and accidentally hit it and fight it (Mine fought something before I hit it with a bunch of tranq arrows so it only took about a minute or two to tame)
2. Get as many arrows as you need plus some extra just in case and start shooting it! (I died doing this but as I said it was next to my base so no problem)
3. You’ll want to put as many berries in as possible, you should probably stock up before you tame it (Good thing about having Parasaurs and trikes before hand is they can get heap of berries quickly)
4. Just wait and bam you got your self a nice bro to ready to defend your base!
Get more than 100 tranq arrows if u want to tame a high leveled one don't worry it's slower than u so u don't need any traps crossbow is HIGHLY recommend.And for taming just give it their preferred kibble and you are good to go
One time I tamed one when I was at lvl 20 something or whatever lvl you get tranq arrows and no cheats but I shot one with a tranq arrow ran back pretty far shot it again and did that over and over until i got it knocked out and thats how I tamed a very low lvl bronto at a very low lvl and beat the crap out of the server’s beach noobs
Just tamed a level 145 of these beasts, once fully tamed and a few upgrades, it already has more health than a tamed giga. Add that to its crazy weight, good damage, and platforming abilities, and you’ve got yourself a giga killing machine. Only took 100 tranq arrows to knock out without a trap. Easy tame.
If you have a wooden base and lead the bronto to it you’re base is gonna be rekt
And recommend you are like lvl 60-70 use crossbow with tranq darts simple to make hope this helped!
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
First time breeding brontos led to twins on the first try, it scared the heck out of me because my phone died just then. Second time I had gotten triplets, so keep that in mind with the birth percentages! I have a bronto army at this point lol.
I mean don’t steel their eggs to feed a taming oviraptor or even to feed yourself. And yeah also be careful putting spikes where there are a lot of them wandering around Otherwise you might have to sit and cry a bit looking at you and your tames getting whipped to death
You can tame these guys with just a crossbow (preferably a journyman at least) and by back peddling on foot. That's how i knocked out mine, and it only hit me twice. When I eventually got it knocked out, all I had to do was wait.
Don’t know if it’s just me, but these guys always try to destroy my base. They can’t damage a stone house, but be aware! Their tail still goes through the walls and can damage your interior. The best way to protect you base from these giraffes is to build a stone wall a bit farther way from your base, so they can’t reach anything important with their tail.
Find a nearby cliff at start taking it out after you do that put in the berries and get some narco
a good trap to make is one stone foundation with three walls and a doorframe on the bottom and 4 door frames without doors in them on top of the first walls with a roof on top of the door frames. when the bronto comes after you, jump up and shoot it until it starts torpor running. then you leave the 1x1 and chase it down until you knock it out
I am the bronto taming guy and just so you know I post another on bronto and I just changed accounts.
When taming, don’t get close to its tail, it attacks with its tail
