Tips & Strategies
If you are looking to get one off of your tail, and you have tranq darts, all you need to do is fire at least 13 darts into its body and mostly its head and then it will begin running due to torpor. If you’re looking to tame it, grab a bunch of vegetables, more specifically, savroots, as they prefer them over the other crops, but you only need at least a hundred and eight or so. Otherwise, ironically, their main weakness is verticality. If you are looking to not have to slowly back up as you fill it with darts, you can stand on a cliff, such as at herbivore island, and it will run into the cliff side without being able to reach you, after which you can just unload on it.

1. Get at least 50 tranq arrows with a bow/crossbow
2. Find a cliff and find a bronto near you (MAKE SURE THERES NONE NEXT TO HIM)
3. Prepare for battle, also make sure he won’t run into the water cause he will drown if he gets knocked out there.
4. ATTACK! Try for the head, it’s most useful.
5. Soon enough the giant beast will fall to the ground! Hop down off the cliff and admire the lump on the sand
6. Now fill him up with berries by the hundreds (I used 1500) But I didn’t need that much.
7. Now wait, get rid of all threats to your friend and protect him!
8. After maybe 20-30 minutes you’ll have a big ol’ protecter.
9. Bring him home and introduce him to your friends!
10. You can do it! Level 20 can do it. Flyers are useful if he gets to close. PLEASE READ

If you are getting chased by some dangerous dino then bronto could be your defender..just run under his legs fast as possible and watch the free battle against bronto vs the one you were chased by!!😁
If you knock it out do not let it fall on you
Narcotic Making Machine...build a Chemistry bench on your bronto and carry spoiled meat on it. Go berry gathering and get all narco berries. Start crafting for thousands of narcotics!!
How to tame a bronto!
This beast is imposing, and has a powerful attack. But tamed, it has many uses. First, we should tame them. Let’s prepare!
Brontos are giant, powerful herbivores, towering over the annoying diplos. They are mainly found on the many beaches, but there can be found surely on a few spawns in the southern islets and the middle of the southern jungle.
The materials:
A few hundred tranqs with a crossbow. Use Dododex, and better safe than sorry!
Some narcs, but their torpor drops slowly.
A cliff or tapejara.
Some crossbows and a mount, best be a flyer.
Method:
You need to stand on the tapejara whistled on follow. Face away from the bronto, change to the back seat, and shoot until it is sleeping.
Also, you can call the bronto’s attention from a cliff and shoot.
Remember, watch out for carnivores. These could kill you, your mount, and the bronto!
Utility:
It can gather tons of berries.
It carries a lot, and can have a platform with a small base.
It can yeet stuff into oblivion.
It has a lot of health, best for tanking.
It’s actually really easy to tame all you need to do is climb on a tall cliff then
Shoot it around 300 times with a slingshot or
30-50 times with a tranq arrow
Once it’s knocked out feed it a bunch of berries and within an hour or so it should be tamed
if you do not have the kibble, and only have mejoberries, ypu will need to patiently wait for an entire hour and some minutes to get this thing tamed, although no narcotis is needed since this giant loves to sleep...

Simply find a sizable cliff and get it to chase you to it, then start pumping it full of Bill Cosby's special nectar
Idk how in the world I managed to tame one of these this way but here’s how I did it
- hit the bronto to get its attention
- go up on cliff where it can’t reach you
- shoot it with a sling shot till it runs away from you
- chase it down hitting its legs with a club (and dying a few times in the process)
- once knocked out give it soothing balm and some berries
- be amazed how fast it tames (around 1 minute, normally takes 20-30 minutes but depends on the level)
Now you have a big buddy :)
