How do I kill a brontosaurus? brontosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Kill one on the beach next to water and use its tail like a slide weeeee!
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.
try to hit it to tame and get yeeted to space
They just appear out of nowhere and..just... agh!they stomp on your base!
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.
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.
Putting your wood base near rocks keeps most dinos out. The Brontos can't knock down stone. That is why I don't mine the rocks near my place. The large stones also double as natural fencing.
Downside is it can make finding my base hard.
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😀
They aren't hostile but if you hit one.... RUN WITH ALL YOUR DINOS!!!
Anyone noticed that most Bronto Spawns are Rex spawns? Kill the bronto, you’ll probably get a Rex, kill a Rex, and you’ll probably get a bronto -BrokenWolves-
My bronto+titanosaur battle tactic (will be posted on titanosaur), if you're near a cliff
1. Stock up on parachutes, grappling hooks, and a couple extra crossbows
2. Aggro bronto
3. Grapple to cliff
4. Jump, and make sure you parachute slowly high up, and start shooting (method works for KO too)
5. For when you fall to the bottom, grapple again and as soon as you get to the top, you parachute and resume slow falling.
BONUS: if there are rocks a decent, but grapple-able distance behind the bronto, then you can go beneath and shoot from a different perspective. Like if the bronto starts to escape, you can get some head shots in.
If you are a ARK player who lives near (south spawn 2) just get a pteranodon and a shotgun or weapon, lure the bronto, get onto a rock higher than the bronto and start blastin’

So earlier,I was trying to tame one..I shot it with a tranq arrow and it chased me so I kept shooting it after I went Into a lava cave so it couldn’t get me, it started running towards the ocean and I never saw it again. :( missed my chance.
Don’t attack these if you are too close to your base, and DON’T PLACE ANY SPIKES. For combat, make sure that if you are a low level, you use long ranged weapons. Brontos can get pretty annoying because they stomp all over your base and tames. It doesn’t do damage, but the constant screen-shaking can get annoying. If you don’t want this to happen, before they get too close, make them chase you in the opposite direction of your base, and then kill them once you’re at a safe distance. Base speed should be enough to outrun them but shoot for 120% just in case. Try running through rocks too, because they sometimes get slowed down and hung up on them.
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)
There is no escape to being yeeted to the sun.
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
If you hit its tail it don’t register u hit it but it takes damage!
Easy way for meat!
do not bring your dino’s into this fight they are probably going to die in one hit i recommend stay away from him and shoot him arrows if he comes close run away and continue shooting TO THE HEAD
Make sure to NOT try to take these out in the beginning… I learned that the hard way…
