How do I kill a brontosaurus? brontosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
She fight and she never quit she
If your a low level these guys can be DEADLY so if you accidentally hit one on mobile (single player) if you just log off quickly and get back on it will unaggro and this goes for any Dino… but if you do this to a giga (a hostile creature) it will just re aggro.
NEVER ATTACK THESE! THEY WILL TOTALLY WRECK YOUR FACE! The story was, there were two brontos near my base. I had a pack of three triceratops, three dilophosaurus, three pteranodons, a parasaur and a dimorph. I attempt to attack one near my base and then realize I wasn't using tranq arrows. And then my dimorph died, and so did one of my pteranodons. I eventually killed it, but didn't get very much loot. Then I tried to trank another one and this killed my raptor, one of my trikes, and probably a few other dinos. I eventually trancs it but it drowned in the water. Up so noobs can see.
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.
My first inconter with on it was domanating the red I was gana tame in the future
Ps i quit the game for a year
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
Make sure when u go somewhere without ur Dinos to put them on passive. One time I had a stego, 2 parasaurs, a triceratops and a Pteranodon, and I came back from hunting and there was two brontosaurus destroying my house and they had killed all my animals!! 😭😭😭
If one of these are chasing you on mobile get off the game and reload then it won’t attack you
Making spikes near your house is a bad idea. ESPECIALLY IF THIS THING IS NEAR, it took out 1 dilo, 1 parasaur and my freaking house.
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
If someone said that a bronto pushed them off a cliff, you are the worst observer alive. It was a diplo. They have straight necks that point at you, sharp teeth, and their tail is straight like the neck. Brontos have curving necks (like a slide), bigger feet, and their tail is similar to their heads. And brontos do damage, diplos don’t (unless you are thrown off a cliff).
There. Your official statement of “it was a diplo, not a bronto”.
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
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.
Drop list
Raw meat
Raw Prime Meat(sometimes).
Hide
Sauropod Vertebrae(fun novelty trophy, unless used as a tribute on pc.)
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
Make sure you use an oviraptor to take its egg! Oviraptors automatically pick up eggs it encounters while following you, with out angering the parent. This includes Wyvern eggs, btw.
Ascensent bow, Tranq arrow, high high ground.
Try to build you base on a stable forested hill. Brontos are always in the forests and wild ones will keep guard of your base. Despite their size, they do not harm structures. I lived on a hill with 4 brontos on it and they kept me safe from carnivores.
- Sands
Never punch or shoot. High aggression
South tropical has the most brontos on the center and you can swim them across to jungle south if your careful enough
guys btw if your going to fight a dino with a bronto try to go from your side it has a bigger aoe and dont use the bronto to fight a face to face the bronto is better fighter when your using its side to fight enemys
