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
I was still a noob when I built wooden spike walls around my base and a bronto got hit by them and one swiped my entire thatch base. I forgot to pick up my 300 Narcotics when the storage box got destroyed
On an ark mobile server I play on every time I log off on herb island all my tames are on neutral so they won’t attack unless there attacked. But for some reason every time I’m logged off a Bronto randomly agros on my tames and it’s annoying because a Bronto just killed my two pelagornis Pelacopter and Snow Owl. And the server is pve. If anyone knows what’s going on please let me know
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)
Leaves pet Brontos on passive on PVP; I managed to lure one to the water and watch some jellyfish eat away all 20,000 health, just to snatch its platform saddle.
And don’t sprint viciously, it steps on everything
THESE GUYS ARE FREAKING TANKS!!! I was out gathering hide with my pack of 6 dilophosaurs, and I guess one accidentally hit this bronto, and she just started DESTROYING us!! I quickly whistled passive flee, and that worked kind of…I still died because I got caught in my dilos, and I lost two, but luckily I still have Deloris, lvl 69 (a very nice lvl). Worst part is, this was a lvl 1 bronto. Moral of the story, stay away from brontos whilst hunting, and you won’t end up like me. Peace out.
I had 40 tamed creatures and this brontosaurus decided to step on my wooden spikes and then the brontosaurus hit me with his tail then all my creatures attacked him then I die and wake up to 8 creatures.😡
I don’t like brontosaurus anymore..... he killed my pink raptor too i will kill every brontosaurus I run into when I get a very good Dino
A bronto killed my para named Frost-bite and I will never forgive them
Never punch or shoot. High aggression
Ascensent bow, Tranq arrow, high high ground.
If one of these are chasing you on mobile get off the game and reload then it won’t attack you
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’

I used Carl,My Carno to Beat 2 of them at once. Carl Is a level 32 Carno and the Brontos are level 15,24.
Bonus tip: if you're on Easy/Medium/Hard Mode,Brutal Mode And find a Bronto at the Same Level of your Stego/Carno/Higher with Saddle (Primitive even works too) You can Basically Kill it easily (Mobile.)
In mobile, Ichthyosaurus can Easily beat them since they don't aggro when Ichthys Bite them most of the time so you can just get free prime meats to eat.
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)
Steal a bro to egg and it shall steal your soul .
These keep killing my pteranodons, I lost two so far to them. The first was an accident but I guess the second was kind of my fault.
I was trying to tame megalainia but my baryonyx would have gotten clapped trying to so I went to herb island to exp farm and try to find unicorn but got sidetracked by a lvl 23 bronto. Shot him 6 times with pump shottie and bary did the rest!
Go to herb and Carno island for great exp farms!
