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!!!

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!!😁
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
-Squirrely
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!!
The bronto should have a stomp attack up so people see and it could get added😁
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 :)

I recommend Taming a low level Bronto earlie game even if you don't have the saddle. Just get up on a hill where they can't get you and shout it with tranqu arrows until it's knocked out. Then feed it berries and... You have a gigantic beast of destruction! HAVE FUN WITH YOUR NEW BRONTO!
Simply find a sizable cliff and get it to chase you to it, then start pumping it full of Bill Cosby's special nectar
A useful guide to tame bronto :
You can use tranq arrows and perch up on a cliff and fire at it from there. It will be stuck on the rocks and will not be able to attack you. Do not hit it on a lowered platform. Go higher enough so that it can't hit you. Then shoot it until it goes a bit far so you can confirm it's fleeing. Then go nearby and keep shooting until it falls unconcious. Hope this tip helps.
