Tips & Strategies

This simply amazing creature in the ark world is the brontosaurus. This creature can mostly spawn anywhere and isn't extremely rare. To knock one out the best strategy I've found is to shoot it twice and get on a dino that is relatively quick and run away for a few seconds (very useful because it gives the narco time to take affect) next you get of the Dino again and shoot it two more times (or more depending on your distance from the brontosaurus). It does take quite a bit but afterward throw some carbonimius kibble or some mejoberries in it and wait for a bit. After you tame it the best thing it's for is the massive amount of berrys you can get by swinging your tail at a large group of bushes. It's also convenient because you can put a platform on its back to place strucures on. Finally it is very good at attacking thing because it knocks them back really far and does a lot of damage. That's pretty much all you need to know about taming and using the great brontosaurus!!!
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 don’t know how to tame a bronto steel its child (that’s how I got mine)
If you knock it out do not let it fall on you
When taming, remember to not place wood or thatch traps.
Use stone metal or TEK.
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!!
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.
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
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.

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