How do I kill a brontosaurus? brontosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
If you hit its tail it don’t register u hit it but it takes damage!
Easy way for meat!
Make sure to NOT try to take these out in the beginning… I learned that the hard way…
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
I always tried to find out the personalities of the different dinos, and that caused me to flourish for a long time without trouble. Though the brontosaurus aggravates me greatly. While the Compy is the playful, curious dino who just wants to see if you have treats, and the Velociraptor is viciously loyal, going to great lengths to protect you once tamed, this bronto is the complete opposite. I always found them the arrogant ones. When i leave my home to gather resources, one will stop what its doing and cut in front of me, just daring me to do something about it. If you try to make them your friend, they snack you with their tail (which im not that bothered about, i was asking for that one.) they are the ones who seem to expect all of us to bow to them. One day i will tame a nice huge pack of like 70 dinos and murder a few of these jerks. Then maybe i will tame one or two.
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 you take an egg or accidentally hit it but your too weak to fight it just go on a raft and in to the ocean and it will get taken town by megs.
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
Don’t know if it’s just me, but these guys always try to destroy my base. They can’t damage a stone house, but be aware! Their tail still goes through the walls and can damage your interior. The best way to protect you base from these giraffes is to build a stone wall a bit farther way from your base, so they can’t reach anything important with their tail.
1 bronto once stepped on my spikes and stayed for one whole day being peirced(it was stuck)the whole day until my spikes burned to 70k health.finnished it with my high lvl carno that I only used as carrying while grinding now a lvl400plus carno that's better than my rexes.de end of de story¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Dear New Players,
Do not hit this creature or take it's egg, you will be launched into orbit.
Bad guy who kill half of my raptors and one of my pteranodon. (R.I.P. Blue Emerald Toru and one of my baby raptor) ;-;

If you just crafted a crossbow, test it out on a low level bronto because A: you’ll get tons of hide and B: you’ll get levels and also feel great. Make sure you have a support Dino like a trike or a pack of raptors.
Punch them or steal their egg and you get a free trip to the moon.

DO NOT ENCOUNTER THESE WHEN YOUR UNDER LEVEL 21 because you need tranquilizer darts to easily knock them out. You steal their eggs? Dam bro they gonna wipe your whole life and inventory out of existence. Do not punch them bro they gonna one punch you
The highest concentration of bronto's is on crescent island all the way in the south east on the island map.
Xp!!!
In early game i found a ascendant bow then i started killing brontos for leveling up fast just grab a explorer note get on a high cliff where it cannot reach you and keep shooting and also a good source for hide (i play on mobile so i got the ascendant bow by pursuits early on in game >lv20)
A bronto killed my para named Frost-bite and I will never forgive them
If ya aggro one then just find some rocks. They hate rocks. if ya wanna ko just go to the rock formation in the southern islets. Not even a titano can hit up there. Believe me. I know from experience.
Sooo. This dude ran into my spiked walls and killed 3 outta my 7 tamed, It killed a dodo and 3 para. I thought the situation was hopeless so I put my stuff in a crate walked outta the base towards it and hit it to take it away from the base. The dude killed me but kept attacking the base and then I saw outta my 7 tames there were 2 survivors, 2 carboneyms and they had a FERTALISED EGG. That’s all it took me to get my fighting spirit back. The bronto had 8,200 health the spikes had brought it down to 5000 and the carbons had brought it down to 3000, the bronto still didn’t run then I joined my broncos and attacked with my bow the dude got to 2,100 and started running. I was outta arrows so I let it go as it swam into the ocean real fast (actually running) this happened a few hours ago (I am level 26)
