Fun fact: You can avoid brontos tail swipe, if it swipe to the right then run to the left, if opposite go to the right.

I tamed all my brontos by using this method

Ups so noobs can see

How to Tame 4 Brontos in less than 30 mins with 140 tranq arrows (you will probably miss some shots so be smart about having extras like I was:)) 400 mejoberries 5 bows and no dinos on herbivore island

First aggro them and lead them to the bottom of a high cliff (the big crescent shape is what I’d recommend) with you on the edge at the top then if they can’t reach you fire away at their heads as the target and soon they will all tumble down and then you wait till 1/4-1/5 of their unconscious level is down then feed them each 100 mejoberries (100 to make sure you have enough) then in seconds you will have 4 Brontos

Hope this was helpful:)

Be cautious. Once you've tamed your new pal, BE SURE TO KEEP BRONTO AWAY FROM FIRE!!!! 🔥 Had my BRONTO for 10 minutes until he decided to stand over the campfire... 😭 RIP TINY TIM

Guys on ark mobile you can tap hit button and then quickly use your spyglass to do lots of damage.

I mean don’t steel their eggs to feed a taming oviraptor or even to feed yourself. And yeah also be careful putting spikes where there are a lot of them wandering around Otherwise you might have to sit and cry a bit looking at you and your tames getting whipped to death

I tamed one of these guys and avenged my Dinos that were killed by a spinosouras

Bronto is far better aquatic than it is on land. It's stamina and speed are so much better so if you have a long distance to go. Use water

If you have a brontesaurs with a saddle you'll know the struggle of getting off it you can just stop riding and walk down the tail its a much lower drop

41 points   🥚 Taming & KO   Jul 9, 2020   Report

Bronto are slow just shoot shocks or tranqs and walk backwards. Use large rocks to jam them they struggle to cross non flat terrain. Use EXCEPTIONAL kibble to tame high levels or you will be waiting 5-10 min even from starve using berries or veg.

Bronto can carry as many people as you like with or without platform saddle aslong as weight limit is not exceeded. (There is no seat for passangers to mount)

Get a parausar and go under it it won't hit you and won't get away also only works if there's one bronto

I am taming a level 2, I knocked it out with tranq arrows, all you need is a relatively fast mount that you can shoot off of. I used a Bart, which I tamed when I was level 21 (as soon as I got tranq arrows) I looked at Dododex, and I did not believe you should tame a high level one with tranq arrows

I was trying to tame megalainia but my baryonyx would have gotten clapped trying to so I went to herb island to exp farm and try to find unicorn but got sidetracked by a lvl 23 bronto. Shot him 6 times with pump shottie and bary did the rest!

Go to herb and Carno island for great exp farms!

Why does everyone say it takes 30 minutes to an hour to tame the thing? That is sooo untrue! Maybe playing on an Xbox is different, but mine only took 10 minutes. And I didn’t change any of the settings to make it do that. I swear, I don’t even know how to (I was a noob 2 weeks ago when I started, didn’t even know how to pick up a rock 🫥).

Ok, STILL LEVEL 63. So many good things have happened today, I tamed a Sarco, got to play with my friend, aaaaaand….. I TAMED A BRONTO!!! Super exited. IT TAMED IN 10 MINUTES!!! The big man gained like 2% every second. Stopped around 84% for like 10 seconds maybe 30, but then kept taming. Easily the fastest tame in the game, right? 214 Mejoberries for a level 28. It took 40 tranqs. I was standing on a really tall cliff and I had a perfect view. He sleeps for 2 hours if you let him, so perfect amount of time to run back to base and grab some berries if you don’t have any or don’t want to spend an hour harvesting without a Dino (like me). I haven’t tested him out yet (I literally just tamed him like 10 minutes ago, and I had to shut the Xbox off). But I’ve heard he’s the best berry gatherer in the game! Super exited to craft a saddle and test him out!

I tamed my first one today and she has loads of weight! I'm gonna get her platform saddle then build stuff on it she will be my mobile base my dinos will be her defense force she's gonna be on wandering because I'm tired of staying at base so I'm gonna live on her my baryonyx for underwater defense paracer for bigger enemies and raptor packs dimorphs for nibbling on allos and and Rex's and yeah that's my whole defense force

Suggested to only tame during double xp and taming events. These guys can be a Pain to tame.

I actually found a nice lvl 90 and tamed it. Turns out, even in the wild, they do a lot of damage. It nearly killed my kangaroo.
