Tips & Strategies
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!
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
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!!
Simply find a sizable cliff and get it to chase you to it, then start pumping it full of Bill Cosby's special nectar

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
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 :)
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.
Best way I find to tame a bronto high or low lvl is to hit it one time and kite it to a cliff then pepper it with trank arrows
