How do I kill a brontosaurus? brontosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Oh, you just finished your giant wood base that looks like a mansion?
That's nice. Now let me destroy it with my big feet.
I Saw A Bronto Egg And Decided To Take It Home But I Lost My Moschops So I Decided To Look Fpr Him As Soon As I Turn Around I Just Saw A Bronto Chasing After Me (NEVER STEAL DINO EGGS)
Be careful! Do not anger it a round tames or bases. When it does its tail whip attack it hits everything surrounding it too. I’ve had Dinos and a base destroyed because of it’s tail. 😖
Do NOT steal a brontos egg. It will take your soul lmao
A basic Hunting Guide For Early Game(may only apply to mobile).
You will need:
A powerful bow(stated where to get in steps).
Decent durability armor(fresh cloth/ any boosted armor
Arrows(determined by bronto health/bow damage).
Some open space
Gathering tools for drops.
1. Complete the hunting quest for the dilophosaur, this will grant you a very powerful bow(masterwork/ ascendent is best).
2. Locate a bronto( usually they are around low predator areas/ coastlines).
3. Determine the hp of the bronto by walking up to it, then craft as many arrows as needed.
4. Get a safe distance away, far enough so you can evade the tail swing and stomp attacks, yet close enough to hit your shots.
5. Start firing away. MAINTAIN YOUR DISTANCE. BRONTOS HIT LIKE TRUCKS.
6. Repeat until the bronto starts to flee. DO NOT SWITCH TO MELEE WHEN CHASING.
7. When it says it is dead, go claim your kill.

Sauropod Vertebrae(fun novelty trophy, unless used as a tribute on pc.)
So, don’t try to run into them as a lvl 20 with knockout arrows and a bow like I did, the way it chewed me was terryfiying
DO NOT ATTACK THIS BIG BOI NEAR YOUR BASE!! It's tail attack will DESTROY your entire base! I found out the hard way 😭
A level 2 Bronto was attacked by a dilo and the bronto hit me by accident, and my lvl 20 trike went after it, it killed me, and it killed my trike when I was dead.(I was a noob at the time). Overall: Don’t go near it while it is fighting something when you are a noob.
You just got a cool sword and leather armor. Good job! Two hits from this beast and your dead, sincerely Dragon-realm.
When you are next to one and a spino just punch the spino in the face and run so you can watch the battle.
Dear noobs,
Please do not use 20 dodos and attack it.
Instead use 15 trikes for 90% chance for killing Level (1 - 20)
If you use dodos then you Will need 10 lv 350+ (after tamed) to knock it down.
Do not try and take its egg i did and next you know i got chased to a cliff and then I jumped down then I got stuck in between two rocks then two seconds later I was a pancake and the egg wasn't even fertilized a like a day keeps the killer bronto away.
if u hit it just run away it stops(mobile)
Alpha raptors don’t care if you run under they get big mad
Easiest way to take down one of these: get a cross bow or a bow if ur not a high level 2, I recommend using tranq arrows to knock out one of these and use a melee weapon to not waste ammo and also look for a cliff that the bronto can't reach and get top of it now shoot it with tranq arrows and kill it while it's KOd might be cruel but hey, you just got yourself free prime meat or just tame it if u want
Kill one on the beach next to water and use its tail like a slide weeeee!
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
Make sure to NOT try to take these out in the beginning… I learned that the hard way…
If any dino comming to kill you, go near Bronto's leg and make the dino behind u to hit bronto and run away from it. If bronto is behind you go near titanosor's leg and make bronto to hit and run u r safe. If titanosor is behind you and u have many resource Make a bed or sleeping bag while running, place it and go and stand in front of titen like said u r stronger than it, it will kill u, u respon on the bed and take back your things😀
Dont forget to lock up your dinos or set them to passive. RIP Pary,
