How do I kill a brontosaurus? brontosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If your aiming to take down a bronto get as many ranged weapons as you can and get as many ammo as you can firearms deal reasonable damage but the problem is you'll need a lot guns and bullets for this if you can't fight them run away whatever happens DO NOT GO TOWARDS YOUR HOME it'll destroy everything there and kill all your tames instead swim over a river it'll be discouraged to hunt you down or just get on a raft and bail please note that brontos will still be hunting you if your not actively piloting the raft
Can damage greenhouse structures.
It’s very hard to tame tons of sting things
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.
In the past I was has a base near what i normally call "Bronto active spawn" , aka herbivores island, and to be honest these guy don't hard to kill in casual,ease difficulties, use shotgun and riffle (both are primitive version) if careful can defeat Bronto quite ease just don't kill it while it with friends, I don't know if this is just my self but, it some how has similar machanic to triceratops in that they all attacking me/you.
Best place to find brontos: the forests in valguero.
If battling a good way to kill it is to bring a spino and a crossbow to kill it fast
If you steal its egg simply get killed and respawn back to
It and take it they won't charge at you and now you have a brontosaurus egg
Had a dilo chasing me and I saw a bronto near me so for the fun of it I ran under the bronto's legs to get the dilo to attack the bronto but my pelagornis had other plans and attacked the bronto.. when the bronto attacks both me and gornia(my pelagornis.) it alermed my other tames attacking the bronto even though I whistled many times to stop and follow me but it never worked. Gornia died and Saico(my sarcoo), and tough head(my pachy) killed the bronto to be honest I was just relieved my other tames didn't die rip for gornia though
I saw a bronto and I wanted to tame it so I shot it with my 15 tranq arrows and I knocked it down somehow(lol I was on easy mode)
Don't steal their eggs, just don't...
The best way too kill a bronto at the lower levels is lead it into some spike walls (metals the best) then keep shooting at it with a simple pistol or even a bow will do
I found a skeletal bronto lv 92(the halloween event is going on right now) and cant it tame it. Just have to get enough tranq arrows.
If you punch a bronto, you will see our solar system and then the light.
You will be in HEAVEN!!! So, don’t go around thinking you can kill them at lvl 2. You might land on Mars.
Mount a flier and aim for the head when attacking, the bronto will not be able to fight back this way. Easy prime meat.
Taking its egg is certain death, or a long flying trip, (Tip: RELOG RELOG RELOG AFTER YOU MAKE IT ANGRY)
It keeps almost stepping on my hut.
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
Ok so when one gets really close to your house, DONT TRY TO KILL IT!!!!! IT WILL STOMP ON YOUR HOUSE AND DESTROY IT ALL! NO MATER HOW BIG IT IS! AND IT WILL KILL YOUR WEEK CREATURES!
Ok so If there is a bronto by your really nice wood house and all your animals that protect your house are there, JUST MAKE ALL YOUR ANIMALS GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. If you try to kill the bronto, THEN IT WILL JUST GO TO YOUR HOUSE AND DESTROY ALL OF IT BC THEY JUST STOMP ON YOUR HOUSE AND THEN YOUR HOUSE IS GONE!!! So when a bronto gets close to your house, do the follow all thing, lead them somewhere else and then when the bronto is far enough from your house that you can kill it, or just lead it very far from your home!
