I was 90 tranqs deep into a 135 and it ran into the ocean and drown itself... don't be me
So you know how they will save you when you run underneath them with a predator on your tail? It’s really kind of them. Just be careful that you don’t get caught in their sweeping attack because they will hit you and launch you into that raptor pack over there
How to tame bronto
Where to find:
Bronto can be foind in beaches and herbivore island
Taming detals:
Bronto are knockout tames and they eat berries
Problems:
Brontos do knockback, lots of damage and they have very high torpor an they are large so it's difficult to trap them and it will tame almost an hour to tame them
Advantages:
Brontos are slow so you can outrun them and there torpor drains slow so you dont need to feed it narcotics
Abilities when tamed:
Brontos can destroy many bushes and trees in 1 swing of its its tail and it can damge creatures by walking on them and they have a platform saddle so they can carry massive amounts of weight
Disabilities when tamed:
Brontos are slow and have terrible oxygen so they drown quickly and when you're riding it you cant see the creatures infrot of you
BEST WAY TO TAME!...... build some stone dino gateways... Place in a small area around the bronto... He wont be able to go anywhere. So you can then just sit back and shot away.
Why does a diplo saddle have an 11 person capacity and a bronto saddle only has 1
If you wanna tame one easy just get alot of tranq arrows and a bow or crossbow and alot of berries and a few nacro berries 50 or 100 and shoot it, it will chase you so you just have to run and turn around shoot again and run and because they are slow they won't catch you and if its running away chase it that means its sleepy and then when it sleeps put the food and nacro berries done

5. You have egg :D
6. I take no responsibility for any casualties in the battle with funny long neck dino, YOU decided to stea- I mean borrow it's egg.
The best place to find theese is herbivore island /small tip:NEVER LEAVE UR DINOS ON AGRO THERE/
I suggest a raft to get there, bring some Dino’s too
There’s at least a single bronto there, but usually there’s two.
Bring at least a 500 berries, at least, plz do more tho
I also say u get some major soothing balm, and at least 60 tranqs,
Also there’s metal rocks on herbivore island
Me: Builds base on herbivore island (that small island in the southeast)
The 4 brontos on the island: *Curious Bronto Noises*
These things can be aggroed on by:
Allosauruses,
Spinos,
Rexes,
Alpha Rexes,
Yutyrannuses,
Carcharos,
Gigas,
Rhynios,
And finally megatheriums that somehow got the insect buff
If it is able to aggro onto a bronto without it aggroing the animal first that means it is aggressive to and will attack any and all other tames.
This also applies to the paracer as in terms of prey the paracer can be aggroed on by the same creatures listed above.
Brontosauruses are amazing creatures! Here are the reasons why:
1. It has enormous weight and can carry creatures that have supplies to add almost no weight.
2. It can have a huge platform saddle, allowing you to have a small portable base for resource runs or base raiding.
3. It is a complete tank and can survive multiple Rexes for minutes.
That’s all. 😀
Im currently taming a bronto :) its just a level two though but it has alot of health. It only took 14 tranq arrows just as dododex said,dododex is very usefu.
I was taking 11 dilos, all between lvls 5-40 to try to explore the south cave in The Island. When I looked out from behind a rock, I saw a big blue egg sitting in an opening. I picked it up, and the nearby bronto did nothing. I got hungry, and bronto eggs restore 100 hunger, so I ate it. THEN the bronto got mad. It chased after me and my dilos attacked it. It killed 6 of the dilos before I finished it off with a regular bow. Got the trophy and named the five remaining dilos, including my strongest lvl 38, Bronto Killers 1-5
If your killing them for xp use a flyer just above there head so they don't agro
Up if it helped
Even though they're not Multi-passenger, their saddle is so dang big that you can drive, while your friends stand & chill behind you. Once you get a saddle for one, you and your friends can get up by: you mount it, then dismount. you'll still be on the saddle. You and your friends repeat until you're all on, then One of you drives, and off you go. If there's still mor of you and no room, get a diplo and now you all have seats. Please ^ if this was helpful!

I just tamed a lvl 22 bronto (I’m lvl 26 so pretty easy to tame) with around 40 tranq arrows in my crossbow, it only took around 15-25 minutes and 300-400 berries to tame (it’s my first bronto, I named her Earthquake :)
Don’t go in a forest because it will make that forest a non-forest.so don’t do it.
