How do I kill a brontosaurus? brontosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Me and my friend killed on of these beasts in ragnorock in the earlier game (we were around level 20 or so), but we were able to defeat it by glitching it between around 3 or 4 rocks and then shooting it’s head. Please, please , PLEASE; if you are going to kill one like us, use glitches or other advantages. (Btw it was still able to kill me once even when stuck so be careful
This creature can stomp on three things at the same time
If you ever hit one of these things on accident and your not ready for a tough fight then just exit out of your ark and rejoin. The bronto won’t be bad this works for any Neutral Dino.
Running under it ONLY WORKS IF WHATEVER IS CHASING YOU IS LARGER THAN YOU
I live on herb on my main save I was playing on it and had just came back from testing out my new scope on my longneck I have these pens for carnivores on herbivores I see there is a wild LEVEL 28 (it’s an easy world since I was new when I created it so the max level is 30) bronto just chilling in my carnivore pen so I fly up onto one of my gates and snipe it in the face in an attempt to get it out of the pen BUT it starts attacking the walls around the pen hurting the Dinos in it . I fly over and whistle follow in an attempt to save them ( the dinos in the pen) as the pen was not fully finished I got the out and the bronto starts going for my herb pen I panicked and whistled neutral. I start seeing death messages pop up on the screen first some of the dodos then park my para and the my beloved raptor rap god . I close the game my heart beating so fast I go onto google and type up if leaving game resets aggro nothing came so I went back on all i lost was the dinos and a part of my❤️
Don’t attack them if they are mating it’s pretty hard to tranq one, much less two
At least for killing, I used to take a level 70 pteranodon or a 30 level pelegornis and just keep hitting it until it dies and it worked surprisingly well, they’re great sources of raw prime meat. Just make sure you have enough stamina, especially if you’re on a pelegornis. If all hope is lost, set your animals to neutral or maybe passive, then hide in your base, provided it’s stone. As for taming, use at least a bow.
I find the most at:83 lattitude and 50-60 longtitude
DON'T TOUCH IT, Just bypass it!!! I'm not afraid of tyronosaurus and all existing ones, but my 50 level 30 raptor was killed yesterday…R.I.P. BABY!
Made a base on herbivore island and it was SO annoying that they kept stomping or just walking all over my things. Eventually tried killing one and it failed. Lost half my tames. War was on. I learned that while they can swim, they cannot fight off sharks or water species as long as your in sight line still. Killed three of them by leading them into the ocean and hovering above with a pteradon whilst the sharks did the work for me. Still got prime meat, and the shark only managed to destroy one of the body’s. Easiest way to rid yourself of these humongous pests. Shoot from a good length away with cross bow, and if needed swoop in and nip them on the head with a flier to keep their attention on you. Happy flying, don’t die :)
Every where
Lollipop and I’m going back home now and then I’ll take one
When trying to kill a bronto, get one normal bow, and about 50 arrows, and you should be good, the one thing is to run into a forest and every once a while shoot it until it starts catching up, then just keep running, also Spears come on handy
NEVER STEAL IT’S EGG, I ROBBED ITS EGG AND NOW MY RAPTOR IS DEAD
Never take it egg or your gonna get chucked out of the universe
This thing YEETED me out of the Isle be careful or its going to YEET YOU TOO
These things can get freaking annoying, bc of their size the can easily get in the way of hunting for meatt or hide and harvesting stone, metal, and wood. Which is what leads to your entire house being destroyed so try living close to borontos, but not to close.
If you want to fight one sic about 30 dinos on one. I suggest mounting on a flyer and swooping in for a few hits
But this is coming from the guy who has killed 10 or 11 of these
Bullied a lvl 220Bronto just for her to pull up with 4 of her mates and destroy everything i had
It is the storing and the biggest
Put a wood spike wall in font of it let it attack it and wait till it runs away soot it with a bow and boom easy early game hide. Is it just me because wen I kill these guys thay fly a sprints distance away ;)
