Tips & Strategies

What are tips for brontosaurus? Tips and strategies for brontosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
In Ark Mobile, you can have 126 structures on the Bronto, there's no need to build a smithy as I just use argies and set them on follow or mortar as i have Equus and casteroides. Have another platform bronto of the opposite sex on follow to get mate boost. One could be a dino carrier and be built as a tank(hp, speed, weight), the other for damage (melee, speed and hp)
Not sure what the platform saddle cap is but highest armor is 408 from many dungeon runs. Use a gold chain for an additional 50 armour, 30% more carry weight, 20% more movement speed, 10% more health, 30% faster attack speed and stamina. Have a fully imprinted bronto for another 20% bonus HP, Attack, Weight and Speed.
Always keep veggie cakes, store it in a tek trough and your bronto will be near invincible or at a minimum stronger than a titanosaur and giga which you can hunt with ease. Use turrets, arthropleura or chalicotherium on turret mode to help speed things up. If you want to level up quickly chronical it and set up a revival platform in the yeti cave, or use a teleporter to get it to level up quickly.
They're going to be the closest thing to dino supercarrier in the game.
How to tame bronto:
1- find big rock or cliff where it can't reach
2- get many narco arrows about 200
3- have full crossbow, don't use it, you'll need full durability
4- shoot it, try to aim for head if he's close enough, if not shoot body.
5- when he falls over load him with berries, use iguanadon, trike, parasaur, or other herbivores to gather berries and give them to your soon to be your big friend, always be careful for enemies, whether it's carnivores or just humans. Hope this helped.
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
I recommend Taming a low level Bronto earlie game even if you don't have the saddle. Just get up on a hill where they can't get you and shout it with tranqu arrows until it's knocked out. Then feed it berries and... You have a gigantic beast of destruction! HAVE FUN WITH YOUR NEW BRONTO!
DO NOT! And I repeat DO NOT! Steal one of their eggs when they are right next to it as a beginner because it will charge after you for quite a while and try to kill you.
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
If you have a tapejara you can hover above them and shoot the from the back seat of the saddle. Makes it super easy to tame just saying
Pros:
- huge carry weight
- can build base on its platform saddle, problem is you need level 90+ to unlock
- the ole regular saddle works just fine but it's just you and the bronto
- excellent soaker/tank on PVP/PVE
- surprisingly good at killing things without worry getting killed
- berry farm like nothing ever farm berries before
- also tons of thatch and some wood
Cons
- have only three speed: slow, very slow, and reverse
That's just it
Beware of these if you are starter. They are not aggressive unless you hit them first. If you are a starter, DONT even think about it. A while ago, it trashed my thatch house, and tried to kill my dodos, dilophosaur and my parasaur. If you want to get rid of it, get across a river, or go further away from where you are, and then shoot it with a ranged weapon. When it comes to you, just quit and rejoin, and it wont disturb you again. They also stomp around, shake your screen and are very loud. They have loads of health and do good damage, and are a great tame if available.
In fjudur or whatever it's called if you go to the edge of the world it won't work out for the bronto running into water because it can't it cannot drown.
To Tame Simply Get to a high Place where the bronto can’t reach you, preferably a steel cliff, if your taming a low level bronto it can range from about 20 arrows to 150 arrows, (tranq Arrows) you can tame them very easily at herbivore island because there’s no Carniovers and there’s Steep cliffs, there is also quite an abundance of bronto there as well, if your taming a high level bronto you might need something else then Tranq arrows
Alpha raptors don’t care if you run under they get big mad
And I thought stealing a trikes egg was bad
Do not take this bad boys egg
Other wise your raptors will start digging your grave pretty soon
I was fight a 87 level spino and needed to heal so I took someone’s advice and ran under a brontosaurus and the brontosaurus got obliterated
dont use a slingshot at them as a joke, they dont take it very lightly
Dont forget to lock up your dinos or set them to passive. RIP Pary,

They aren't hostile but if you hit one.... RUN WITH ALL YOUR DINOS!!!
