They’re pretty good for harvesting. Use a platform on it, best to tame with god console too. They kill other dinos quick.
Brontosaurus
The Brontosaurus is a behemoth of a dinosaur with a powerful tail 'tail sweep' attack that can smash all nearby enemies. This method is also one of the most efficient ways to gather berries and thatch, and the Brontosaurus' ability to carry large quantities of items make it even more useful for gathering. With its ability to carry a Platform Saddle, the Brontosaurus is often considered a must-have dinosaur for nomadic tribes looking for a mobile base.
Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Brontosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
These don’t have headshot multipliers. Go for body shots.
Get up on a ledge where it can't reach you
Use either a bow or a crossbow to shoot it with tranq arrows
Feed it berries, mejo work the best
Use 21 darts and always have high ground or distance
DON'T AIM FOR THE HEAD THE HEAD DOESN'T GET MORE TORPOR THAN THE BODY ITS THE SAME BUT THE HIT BOX OF THE HEAD IS SO WEIRD
It should have a stomp attak that deals 200 base damage (lvl 1).
i manage to tame a level 22 bronto using cliffs as defense and using a soothing balm
If u are getting attacked run under broncos legs as fast as you can then whack ur free battle
Update on these Brutes, in Genesis DLC, these guys collect fibre, crystal, stone, thatch, rare mushrooms, and wood! Head to Lunar biome and collect all the materials you need. Use there weight to hold your crafted items!
Ok so If the bronto is in your area or on your house or area you don’t want it to be get on your pteradon or any flyer attack and make it follow you. if you can kill it with a high level Dino you can (flyer is a good option) .if it Doesn’t follow you on your flyer land and…
Ok so If the bronto is in your area or on your house or area you don’t want it to be get on your pteradon or any flyer attack and make it follow you. if you can kill it with a high level Dino you can (flyer is a good option) .if it Doesn’t follow you on your flyer land and it’ll be aggressive again also you can get some stamina back a little but yeah.but if you wanna kill it at low lvl barrel roll on your pteranodon and fly on a cliff get stamina repeat (if it was complicating put a dislike and I’ll right a more clear tip)
Stand on a very high cliff where you meet head level with it then tranq it.
Cheapest and easiest method for beginners.
Try not to aim for the neck, whenever I aim for the neck my shot doesn't count for whatever reason.
Used a Ascendant crossbow with tranqsonly shot 6 times...... Have high melee with high damage crossbow
took two tranq from 120% crossbow
Here’s all you need to know:
1- Get it stuck between huge rocks (I did it on an island)
2- Make sure you are pretty far away from it, because it can fly you to space
3- Start shooting tranq arrows at it
4- Tame using berries and I didn’t have to use narcotics, you’ll…

3- Start shooting tranq arrows at it
4- Tame using berries and I didn’t have to use narcotics, you’ll have plenty of time, but take some just incase
Tips: Don’t get it too stuck because I tamed one and now I can’t get it out, bring about 40 tranq arrows (depending on the level), I tamed a female, level 19, 4110 health. And it tamed 0.8% in 22 seconds.
Hope this helped!
Like so others can see!

Place one stone foundation with three walls and a doorway. Then place doorways on top so you have a 1 x 1 base 2 high. Then tranq away run into your hut and keep tranquing with arrows or darts it will start to runaway so you will need to chase it. Throw in the exceptional kibble and usually you don't need many narcotics. I put spiked walls and go off and do what I gotta do come back in a hour or two and Boom! You have the only Berry collector you will ever need.
Shoot with tranqs while moving backwards or on a cliff.
To tame one, make sure you have around 100 berries. Shoot it with a crossbow and tranq arrows, and it will KO. Make sure you aren’t close to a cliff or ocean, or you might get knocked into it.
I find the easiest way to tame them is either to shoot them from the doorway of a stone base or taming outpost or shoot them from a cliff. Their one of my favorite tames because once they’re knocked out they require very little maintenance.
Low level can take around 200 or more rocks from a slingshot to knock out
Stand on a cliff side above the Brontosaurus and hammer it down with whatever you can that is range and knocks creatures
