What are tips for brontosaurus? Tips and strategies for brontosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
You need all of the storage. I just got the saddle for my bronto (pretty cheap) and it is only level 33. This is my first world on ark. After 3 swings of collection, FULL. My bronto was full of 3000+ weight of berries. Only do one swing and that is all you need in early game. This is advice for other beginners like me. I don’t see myself going harvesting for the foreseeable future.
I used an iguanadon to help run from it whilst tranquing it is a really valuable tame.
We use this creature as a mobile hunting/taming base.
Just a platform saddle, then some other platforms for Argys and other birds to land on, some crates to carry berries, kibble or material for a quick taming pen.
If taming smaller Dinos, also build ramps for them to get up or set the bronto on follow and carry your tame home with a Quetz.
If taming taming bigger creatures, ride them home with the bronto on follow or set your tame on follow and ride the bronto home.
Easy tame. Just get a crossbow and a grappler ammo, at least 65 tranq arrows and grapple to the top of a tall tree (away from your base) whistle passive on all Dino’s and start trancing that thing. Also make sure there are no other ones around. After knocked out give it a bunch of berries no narcotics required.
Really easy tame don’t need stone cage as you only need about 50 shots or 125 to the body
One time I went to herbivore island with my pteranodon and I stole a bronto's egg, as soon as I stole it I got on my flyer and went straight to the ocean around the island, the bronto followed me and then drowned a couple meters later. So if you are gettin aggroed by this bug guy take your flyer and go over the sea, it will not survive. ;)
In the new mobile ark game it takes 3 trans darts to knock out very low level
!!!!!!
I tamed a Bronto lvl 12 with 50/60 tranq arrows and 80 rockcarrorts + 40/50 Berries and I used no narcotics at all! I recommend using a pteranodon to get to a high place near the bronto. or flying away when it gets closer if there are no hills as you shoot it, aim for the head preferably. This worked for me it may not work for everyone
If you just crafted a crossbow, test it out on a low level bronto because A: you’ll get tons of hide and B: you’ll get levels and also feel great. Make sure you have a support Dino like a trike or a pack of raptors.
When you have it knocked out and you don't feel like waiting just sleep through the tame but don't forget to check though like if this helped
Ride on a Mount that you can shoot from, and that is fast enough to escape it, simply shoot it once, hop on your Mount Ride away, shoot till it is knocked out, place spike walls around it, grab some mejos and you have a super slow, but super good Berry collector, go to ferns click a couple Times and you have tons of food, he is also great for narcoberries
I am taming a level 2, I knocked it out with tranq arrows, all you need is a relatively fast mount that you can shoot off of. I used a Bart, which I tamed when I was level 21 (as soon as I got tranq arrows) I looked at Dododex, and I did not believe you should tame a high level one with tranq arrows
If you are going too knock out I would highly recommend using a cross bow.
