If you had only one word to describe a bronto it would most definitely be Lag

This thing killed 11 of my tames... I still call it the Bronto Massacre. :(

Don't stand on them while taming. If he tames and stands he will launch you in the air...

Docile Dino.. just don't piss it off

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

i was chilling on a PvX server when all of a sudden a bronto decided to sh#!#$ on my porch

The war began

It killed my iguanadon and my carno, but im satisfied.No one does oopsies not on MY porch

I highly recommend killing catistroids with it and looting their stuff then putting it in the bronto and continue this strat is good for getting wood silica pearls rare flowers and mushrooms and cementing paste

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

Bronto, dude, you are a killing machine. This thing has so much health and power. This will make you ark life easier.

I tried to take a bronto yesterday and it killed me three times. These things are killing machines when you kill them though. I guarantee that it will change your arm experience. Make sure you get a lot of tranq arrows and a lot of berries. And do not let him fall in the ocean. It will kill him fast.

So if you really want to grind metal in single player you should get a bronto get a platform saddle and spam its weight build a furnace room on top with everything you can, then tame an argy and anklo (if you don’t have one) then use the argy to pick up anklo and find a metal supply ise the anklo to get the metal then pick the anklo up and carry to the bronto platform saddle with the argy then smelt it in the metal base you made. Hope you like it if.

I like making them mad and luring them to my base, where three rexes, two spinos, three carnos, one bary, six raptors, three terror birds, one ptero, one tapejara, and one allosaurus wait with open arms. Free meat.

This beast can be a pain to tame, however it is very worth it. Follow this guide for an easier time.

1. Depending on its level prepare 25 to 100 tranq arrows. If you can afford tranq darts, they will be faster and damage it less

2. There are 2 main ways you can tame this, with a trap, or on foot. On foot requires much less resources but is harder, while using a trap has virtually no risk, but requires lots of stone and wood. Pick whichever is best for you

3. If on foot, I recommend starting from on a cliff where it can’t hit you, DONT move unless it runs too far away to shoot, because if it isn’t torpor running, and it realizes it can hit you, it will run back, and try to hit you. This is much easier with a fast mount you can dismount, shoot, run, repeat. Leveling move speed can also make this much easier

4. If you use a trap, I recommend a 3 by 3 stone box with ramps leading into will be much easier to get it into, and once it is in, just shoot it until it is out.

5. For food, Mejia are the best option for your first bronto because it’s unlikely you can make exceptional kibble. They also work well for a low level. If you are taming a high level, I recommend exceptional kibble if you have it, because it will save you several levels

6. Depending on the food and the level, this tame can take multiple hours, and in my experience rexes and other dangerous creatures often spawn where brontos do, so make sure to protect it, or keep it out of render so it does not get eaten, or lose lots of levels from being hit.

Happy taming!

P.S. I’m going to make an in depth taming guide for every creature in ark, so look for more, I have already done one for the diplo and graptor, so please check those out, and if any are helpful, raise them to the sky, so it helps more people. All my tips will end in Happy taming!

if u hit it just run away it stops(mobile)

When you are next to one and a spino just punch the spino in the face and run so you can watch the battle.

From a quick test they do seem to gather more thatch than the megaleceros from hitting a singular tree.

I was lvl 35 then a lvl 162 stuck in 4 rocks tamed her and named her samilia im lvl 61 now with a lvl 367 bronto. she is basically a titanosaur lol

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.

If you have a tamed one with a saddle and need to get down safely, wait for them to eat (or force feed them) then quickly run to their head and you have a slide down to the ground. 👍

Dis bad boy don't get stuck in trees like every other dino it just stomps em down.
