What are tips for brontosaurus? Tips and strategies for brontosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If u play on mobile get a load of mejos then go on a big roco and use tranqs on crossbow to knock out and tame
Best tame method for poor peeps or Bob's just walk backwards and shoot it and when it gets too close Sprint away from it for a while as long as you aren't weighed downed or injured I used this method worked like a dream
Use a bow or slingshot I think the tranq arrows at level 21 are good for making it unconscious
Here is a fair warning noobs
DO NOT HIT
Instant death
DONT HIT OR SHOOT if you do better hope that your tames run or didn't follow
Level high best 200 point bronts
If your at ragnoRock vicking Bay 3 just tame a pteradon and then make its saddle then get a bow find a level 4 bronto the fly up to that tunnel on top the flat place land there on your pteradon then just spam him with arrows then lead him to your pteradon then spam him with narcotics arrows OK thats enough
An arge above level 30 can kill a bronto level 15 easily while flying but it takes way too long
Make a stone building 2 floors high with no roof and doorframes as the walls on the second wall up. Shoot fast until it falls and then load it up with food. Be careful of its tail and feet and carnivores out to get you. Good luck taming your bronto
Easy way to tame just bout anything 4 windowframes stone hatchframe for ceiling shoot them through the holes they can't destroy
Get turtle kibble, of prepare for a looooooong night.
Trap em in a horse u pit like herbivore islands or cliff then get a pal and pepper with tranq bullets or arrows
Literally the best and less effort way to tame is to kite it to a cliff (doesn't matter the level) shoot it down, and stuff it full of mejos. The only thing after that is to either sit back and watch YouTube, tame another Dino close, or put a tamed Dino or two near it to gaurd and do other things while coming back to check every 15-20 min
If you are getting chased by some dangerous dino like a rex, spino (twice as fast as a human), giga (same thing), carcharo (2.5x faster than a human), rhynio (2.25x faster) or somehow by an aggressive megatherium that has bug buff (1.5x faster) then bronto could be your defender..just run under his legs fast as possible and as long as it's those 6 dinos listed above and not some raptor or carno watch the free battle against bronto vs the one you were chased by which will almost always result in a dead bronto!!
If instead you are being chased by a carno, then do the same thing go under the brontos legs, then stand still and try to make the carno bite the bronto while tanking damage from the carno, then run away as you definitely will have enough time before the bronto attacks and you WON'T be caught in its attack aoe (trust). Upon being damaged by the bronto, the carno that is definitely not closer to you than you both are to the bronto will definitely also stop chasing you and instead totally run in the reverse direction at the bronto and start attacking it.
You don’t need to be a high level to tame a Bronto you just need at least 60 narco arows and some berrys for a level 6 bronto
These things suck when your new. I had a base on a beach, and 3 of these things will not stop trampling and walking all over it. I moved bases, and later on i killed all 3.
Can be a great early to mid and event late game tame. Here is how to tame one for each stage of the game.
Early: This is the hardest stage. It is still doable though. Get a few slingshot plenty of narcoberrys and plenty of mejoberrys. Get on a ledge or cliff shoot at it with slingshot, or bow if it’s to far. Then when he comes over shoot at it with the slingshot to knock it out. Feed berries then wait for your tame.
Mid game- This should be easier. Get a crossbow with plenty of tranqs and berries. Find a ledge or cliff shoot down at it. Or you could use a pt or argy make it chase you fly away shoot at it and fly away. You could repeat that over and over till he’s out. Feed berries and enjoy.
Late game: Get long neck with tranq darts or shocking darts and either do one of first 2 options. Or if you wanted you could build a gate trap. Then you could kite it into the trap shut the gates and start tranqing. Feed berries and enjoy.
For a level 16 it takes 2 hours to wake up. For a level 2, it takes 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Lure it near a cliff and then go on the cliff. Start shooting tranqs at it and knock it out. Very slow torpor drain and very fast taming
