What are tips for brontosaurus? Tips and strategies for brontosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I was playing in the island at south zone 2, tons of brontos live near spawn, got a pteranodon and flew on top of one of the large rock masses, shoot it a bit and it’s out easily
A brontosaurus Is a hard to tame to how much torpor and how long it takes to tame. Ones you knockout a brontosaurus. Best food would be exceptional kibble!
Love these guys, if you can get them you should. I’m a beginner player so I mainly stay on herbivore island, where a ton of these guys spawn. I was getting fed up with having to watch my every move around these guys so I built a giant 15 level stone tower. Not only did it keep me entertained and interested in the game, once finished I could easily knock out brontosauruses. Now I have an army of about a dozen. These guys are great when ever I want to explore something or gather resources. I would recommend getting your own mini army of these guys if you’re a nervous player like me.
Do not mess with this thing it will really curb stomp yo ass
How to get high quality Bronto platform saddles on mobile:
Head into the yeti cave (tame one of the wolves in the cave to do this). In one of the big rooms there are multiple snow covered platforms. On one of the platforms is a red cave drop, and the loot of this drop includes Bronto platform saddles. I ran the cave ~100 times and got 2 Bronto platform saddles (1 mastercraft 1 apprentice). I wished I knew about this before wasting engrams on learning the Bronto platform saddle :(
Find a bronto have at least 30 tranq arrows or slingshot the sling shot took so long find a mountain bronto cant climb then shoot remember don’t fall or your screwed
Maximum difficulty, found a lvl 95 and decided to tame it... I started with 48 tranq arrows and ended up with 1 left. It is extremely easy to tame for lower levels and is a great mobile narcotic factory.
Use a crossbow and lead it to a ledge so you are above him unload in to his head
Fly on a Quatal with a platformsaddle en stand on it, than make it nockout.
Nog YOU can tame a lot of them!
Try to get the high ground and shoot it with trikes and go for low level 5or lower
Best dino to tame if you wish to have a noble food truck
The best way to knock out one of these is to stand on a clif just above its head
Once knocked out put stone walls around it for protection
Tame a spino a Rex a basilosaurus a sarco a baryonyx a argentavis a theri probably others but I can’t think of them rn upgrade health for awhile then upgrade damage and your king of the world a better idea would to tame multiple of those have a saddle for each too.
If you need help taming this I think this will help if you find a high rock where they cans get you can shoot them in the head it I sent hard till the run. And you can turn this guys into house with no find kind of cool
Reletively easy tame if you know what you're doing. First, separate the one you want from it's buddies, so that you don't get whacked by them. Next, you need to put dino gates (stone) in a V formation and stand a little ways away from the tip of the V. After that, just thshoot with tranq arrows from crossbow or tranq darts if you have them, I didn't and it worked out fine for a lvl 5. Then just make sure it's torpor is high and boom you have the world's best berry and thatch gatherer on herby island.
I just tame rith sling shots i spend 1 day of game to tame
Lure one to a nearby beach. Avoid them if two are together. After luring one to the beach, just run around and shoot at it with tranq darts or toxicant arrows. Has a huge torpidity bar so knocking it out takes a while, but eats fast so just use crops or Carbonemys kibble and you should be fine. It doesn’t serve any purpose other than a mobile base with the platform saddle or helping in raids.
