Brontosaurus

The Brontosaurus is a behemoth of a dinosaur with a powerful tail 'tail sweep' attack that can smash all nearby enemies. This method is also one of the most efficient ways to gather berries and thatch, and the Brontosaurus' ability to carry large quantities of items make it even more useful for gathering. With its ability to carry a Platform Saddle, the Brontosaurus is often considered a must-have dinosaur for nomadic tribes looking for a mobile base.

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Brontosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

When I first thought of getting one of these guys, I thought it would be a pain but it wasn’t. The biggest problem I ran into was I didn’t bring enough tranqs so I had to improvise and use a club and somehow got him knocked out (always bring more tranqs that you think you…

When taming on herbivore island you can make it go into the crack and then tranquillize it to sleep and then wait at least ten to thirty minutes then feed it then you have a brontosaurus it always works

To tame him just get like 50 tranq arrows and a cross bow (bring a few extra tranqs just in case) then just shoot him and walk backwards and he won't be able to hit you for a while by the time you knock him out you will have lost a little bit of health but you knocked out…

Thwy prefer Citronal when taming them. I'm taming a 145 right now and it won't eat any of the other veggies or berries on it while it has the Citronal. You could say it's easy peasy lemon squeezy.

I would only get this for the platform saddle if you play with others and need a mobile base for multiple people. If you have access to a Mosasaurus or Quetzal, avoid the Brontosaurus. If you play single player, you should probably go for a Paracer.
