What are tips for brontosaurus? Tips and strategies for brontosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I easily tamed one of these I’m level 37 and I used a bow and like idk how many tranq arrows but I guess at least 50 so what you do is put all your stuff away in a chest or Dino and just bring your bow and tranq arrows and berries and narcotics then just shoot and run away and shoot as much as you can try hit the head cause that does better dmg hope this helps
best way to kill a bronto: put a metal spike or wooden spike in front of it (I haven't tried the wooden spike yet) then it will slowly die because it can't damage metal
If you have a ptera go to the bottom right corner of the island and land on the big rocks than shoot it because they cant reach you and I didn't find any predators on the island that it is on
Place a stone foundation down near one you want to tame. Place a doorway(with a door), and three stone walls on the bottom. Then place 4 doorways(without doors) on top of the first layer. This way you can agro the bronto when you are trying to knock it out, have an eye on all directions, and won't get hit by his attacks. Best method I've found so far!
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 their egg and quit tried to a trike and worked
Punch them or steal their egg and you get a free trip to the moon.

Found one knocked it out with twenty tranq arrows tamed it
I’m level 15
Try to build you base on a stable forested hill. Brontos are always in the forests and wild ones will keep guard of your base. Despite their size, they do not harm structures. I lived on a hill with 4 brontos on it and they kept me safe from carnivores.

I tamed him today, just aim for the head with tranq darts or arrows, make sure no brontos are close, my bronto was lvl 1 when i found him and tamed him, while lvl 1 i killed a good level trike with 2 hits brontos are also very good berry gatherers. Also while talking abt bronto type dinos, i tamed a diplodocus in thoughts of it having an attack, i got dissapointed when i saw that he can only push away, like bro, my bronto and ankylo yeet you out of the atmosphere while dealing TONS OF DMG
To the guy who said to not use stim berries well they decrease its torpor I tamed one with like 20 Tranqs and 50 bio toxin and 1300 berries and a 10x boost took like ten minutes but I knocked it out on a dudes base on pve he was stuck in his house :p
Go for low level ones if possible you can change an raise the stats you want. An if there lower level they are easyer to tame. Granted they might be easy to kill for rexs when there lower level but they still can take nearly anything else on any map
Almost killed one with a wooden spike wall. The perfect trap would be a circle of traps then Aggro or be pasint the it will try to attack the traps and die
One of my favorite favorite tames by far! Tail whip super useful and cargo carrying can carry lots! Love the sounds they make too! Overall beautiful creature just have to make sure you don’t accidentally smack and herbivores when under battle with nasty raptor or carno
If someone said that a bronto pushed them off a cliff, you are the worst observer alive. It was a diplo. They have straight necks that point at you, sharp teeth, and their tail is straight like the neck. Brontos have curving necks (like a slide), bigger feet, and their tail is similar to their heads. And brontos do damage, diplos don’t (unless you are thrown off a cliff).
There. Your official statement of “it was a diplo, not a bronto”.
I didn’t shoot head, because it was too hard, so I used 24 tranq arrows and many, many stabs from my pulmo (scorpion, Scorpius, female).
1. Craft how many tranq arrows you want
2. Prepare food
3. Find bronto female (to lay eggs)
4. Shoot it (now, now. A big rock won’t help you now)
5. If you have a scorpion, stab it
6. Keep stabbing it as it runs away
7. Watch it fall
8. Put food in inventory
9. Wait
10. Give your bronto a name and you have a terrific killer
