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 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...

I heard these are a very slow tame so grab a looooooot of berries.

A useful guide to tame bronto :

You can use tranq arrows and perch up on a cliff and fire at it from there. It will be stuck on the rocks and will not be able to attack you. Do not hit it on a lowered platform. Go higher enough so that it can't hit you. Then shoot it until it goes a bit far so you can confirm it's fleeing. Then go nearby and keep shooting until it falls unconcious. Hope this tip helps.

I saw someone suggesting giving it a berry then when it lowers his head to eat you can safely get off. That’s great and all but you can also Yaba-Daba-Doo off the tail with no berries involved!

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

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 :)

Tail is good to slide down when you got nothing to do

Here is how to tame a bronto:

Materials:

A few hundred tranq arrows with a primitive crossbow. Bring other crossbows just in case! Also BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY.

A flyer with a saddle of course.

A good bronto. Anything 45+ because it’s like doedics they farm a lot no matter the level.

Method 1

1. Find a cliff. Make sure it is high and wide enough.

2. Aggro a bronto and land on the cliff.

3. Shoot with tranq ammo remember to leave a 5 sc gap between shots.

Method 2

1. Whistle a tapejara on follow and switch seats above the bronto.

2. Proceed to knock the beast out.

Use mejoberries or crops to tame the bronto! Bring narcs just in case but I didn’t need any.

Utilities:

Absolute TANK survived Rex’s for 6 minutes.

Good defense Dino with outrageous knockback and AOE.

Currently the absolute best berry farmer in ark.

Enjoy your bronto!

If you’re taming a max level one, you have so much time. Like SEVEN HOURS

8 points   🥚 Taming & KO   Nov 6, 2024   Report

Step 1:find one

Step 2:have a shoot tranquilizeing darts

Step 3:get a stegosaurus

Step 4:get berries with your stegosaurus

Step 5:give the brontosaurus berries

Don’t go in a forest because it will make that forest a non-forest.so don’t do it.

This simply amazing creature in the ark world is the brontosaurus. This creature can mostly spawn anywhere and isn't extremely rare. To knock one out the best strategy I've found is to shoot it twice and get on a dino that is relatively quick and run away for a few seconds (very useful because it gives the narco time to take affect) next you get of the Dino again and shoot it two more times (or more depending on your distance from the brontosaurus). It does take quite a bit but afterward throw some carbonimius kibble or some mejoberries in it and wait for a bit. After you tame it the best thing it's for is the massive amount of berrys you can get by swinging your tail at a large group of bushes. It's also convenient because you can put a platform on its back to place strucures on. Finally it is very good at attacking thing because it knocks them back really far and does a lot of damage. That's pretty much all you need to know about taming and using the great brontosaurus!!!

I tamed one today with about 50 knockout arrows (forgot names lol) it’s actually pretty easy just stay in front of it and shoot it really easy tame on mobile use any crops took me about 15 minutes

Great for setting on top of people’s bases and watching them get annoyed at the constant earthquake

Look for a very high Rock or a Cliff with a Flyer. The Rock/Cliff should be about as high as the bronto. When you shoot him he wont be able to Hit you, but his head will be directly in Front of you , so can easyly shoot His head because he has a 1.5x head multiplier.
