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.
Get you a high lvl bronto and take it to the lunar area on genesis and swipe by the crystal rocks and you'll easily get 1k crystal 3k rocks and if close enough to the wood you'll get a full weight bronto.. put a platform saddle on and make a smithy and you'll make behemoth gates for days..
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.
I tamed one in about 10 mins on herbi island. 5 mins of spamming tranq arrows and 5 of feeding it carrots with a minor soothing balm. Pretty easy tame for mobile. (Easy mode single player bc I'm too lazy to grind xp or sit round for 20 hrs watching a bronto tame 0.001% at a time)
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.
do not bring your dino’s into this fight they are probably going to die in one hit i recommend stay away from him and shoot him arrows if he comes close run away and continue shooting TO THE HEAD
If yyou want to tame a bronto really fast first knock with tranw toxicant or whatever then dont feed it anyting (works for mobile idk bout other)then sleep next to it the hunger goes down quite alot also remember to sleep next to it for the hunger to go down then give it a balm 10x then put mejo berry(the purple berry ) itcwill be tamed in an instant
I’m at lvl 24. Always wanted a bronto. BEAUTIFUL female outside my base just far enough it won’t kill me pets. Should I? Btw she is dark stone gray with a evergreen underbelly and hunches
If you are going too knock out I would highly recommend using a cross bow.
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
