What are tips for brontosaurus? Tips and strategies for brontosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
When taming Don’t Let it nock out in the water or it will drown.
Whatever you do, do not make sure it does not get aggro'd near your base. I play single player and it got into a fight nearby, destroyed my base and killed half my tames.
If you want to knock it out go on-top of a steep hill so it can’t get to you.
You can find brontos on herbIvor island so you can tame in peace
Steal a bro to egg and it shall steal your soul .
These keep killing my pteranodons, I lost two so far to them. The first was an accident but I guess the second was kind of my fault.
Me and my friend tamed one it was pretty easy but it eats fast and if you run out of food it goes backwards on the taming scale so annoying
These things are BEASTS at the Lunar biome on genesis. Not only can they harvest a BUNCH of thatch and wood in one swing, but they can harvest almost equally as much stone and crystal from certain “plants” there, as well.
Just be careful not to crash the server like I did...oops.
Don’t mess with the brontosaurus’s when there are a whole family around them
if your under level 40, don’t pick up one of these guys eggs. if you do, he will cha cha real smooth you out of existence
Get a fully imprinted bronto.
Mount a platform saddle on. (Recommend a ramshackle or higher)
Mount it with 6 cannons (3 on both sides left and right)
Place a catapult at the back
1 ballista on the front, complete a base with an angled roof
Then place 5 autoturrets on the roof (2 each side and one on the middle)
Welcome you have dreadnought
Dear New Players,
Do not hit this creature or take it's egg, you will be launched into orbit.
How I tame brontos (on mobile)
-get pt or argy
-if it’s not near a cliff then hit it and let it follow you until it falls off a cliff
-Use a bow/crossbow/longneckrifle and I usually only use abt 10-15 arrows or darts.
-Aim for the head
-If you don’t have kibble just use berries
-It doesn’t need narcotics usually so put lots of berries in its inv and I usually go do other tasks until it’s tamed!
-boom tamed bronto
The red berries continuously fills up the tame up bar
Sooo. This dude ran into my spiked walls and killed 3 outta my 7 tamed, It killed a dodo and 3 para. I thought the situation was hopeless so I put my stuff in a crate walked outta the base towards it and hit it to take it away from the base. The dude killed me but kept attacking the base and then I saw outta my 7 tames there were 2 survivors, 2 carboneyms and they had a FERTALISED EGG. That’s all it took me to get my fighting spirit back. The bronto had 8,200 health the spikes had brought it down to 5000 and the carbons had brought it down to 3000, the bronto still didn’t run then I joined my broncos and attacked with my bow the dude got to 2,100 and started running. I was outta arrows so I let it go as it swam into the ocean real fast (actually running) this happened a few hours ago (I am level 26)
Take at least 50 tranq arrows if its a lower lvl. I reccomend going on op of a cliff and shoot it with a bow or whatever ya use. If you shoot it in the head it should get in the unconscious state faster..
I use brontos to level up my lvl.34 rex it's very good XP and they are good tames you can build buildings on its back. And very good berry gatherer's
1. Get an equus
2. Get tranq arrows/darts and lots of crops/berries(depends on level but for a level 2 I used 11 tranq darts)
3. Find a low level bronto(be careful if there are other brontos nearby)
4. Aim and shoot at targeted dino, make sure to have mount run away when the bronto gets closer so you keep a safe distance
5. Feed and wait
