Tips & Strategies
Simply find a sizable cliff and get it to chase you to it, then start pumping it full of Bill Cosby's special nectar
If you are being chased by a huge carnivore just run through a brontosaurus legs as fast as you can.
This beast can be a pain to tame, however it is very worth it. Follow this guide for an easier time.
1. Depending on its level prepare 25 to 100 tranq arrows. If you can afford tranq darts, they will be faster and damage it less
2. There are 2 main ways you can tame this, with a trap, or on foot. On foot requires much less resources but is harder, while using a trap has virtually no risk, but requires lots of stone and wood. Pick whichever is best for you
3. If on foot, I recommend starting from on a cliff where it can’t hit you, DONT move unless it runs too far away to shoot, because if it isn’t torpor running, and it realizes it can hit you, it will run back, and try to hit you. This is much easier with a fast mount you can dismount, shoot, run, repeat. Leveling move speed can also make this much easier
4. If you use a trap, I recommend a 3 by 3 stone box with ramps leading into will be much easier to get it into, and once it is in, just shoot it until it is out.
5. For food, Mejia are the best option for your first bronto because it’s unlikely you can make exceptional kibble. They also work well for a low level. If you are taming a high level, I recommend exceptional kibble if you have it, because it will save you several levels
6. Depending on the food and the level, this tame can take multiple hours, and in my experience rexes and other dangerous creatures often spawn where brontos do, so make sure to protect it, or keep it out of render so it does not get eaten, or lose lots of levels from being hit.
Happy taming!
P.S. I’m going to make an in depth taming guide for every creature in ark, so look for more, I have already done one for the diplo and graptor, so please check those out, and if any are helpful, raise them to the sky, so it helps more people. All my tips will end in Happy taming!
Best way I find to tame a bronto high or low lvl is to hit it one time and kite it to a cliff then pepper it with trank arrows
I was busy getting 13 of my tames on my upgraded raft
(It was dark) then I accidentally punched it with a metal hatchet
The 13 turned into 3
I had 4 dilos 3 Dodds 1 phiomia 2 paras 1 mosschop 1 anklo
After the incident I had 1 Para 1 mosschop 1 anklo
I like making them mad and luring them to my base, where three rexes, two spinos, three carnos, one bary, six raptors, three terror birds, one ptero, one tapejara, and one allosaurus wait with open arms. Free meat.
1.get a butt load of tranq arrows
2.run far away when it gets to close
3.keep shooting at is head
4.put 200-800 veggies/berries
5.tame it
6.DESTROY ALL YOUR ENEMIES
My dinos got attacked by a roge spino it attacked my argy and I flipped I was too far away to help but what I did sea is a dead spino get yeeted half way across the island by my trusty brontosaurus
Caution: does not take 2 Tranq arrows with a crossbow. Many survivors died to bring us this message
Get their egg and quit tried to a trike and worked
Brontos are a bullet sponging machine if found with correct base health and melee you will make raiding easier can get 150 Brontos to around 70k health and swiping it's tail can destroy x seeds hella quick
These are the easiest tame ever, just get far away, shoot it with a crossbow repeatedly, when it gets close run and shoot, then boom u knocked out a brontosaurus (I literally have 5 of them that’s how easy they are to tame) please
Just sit somewhere up high where it cant hit you and tranq it, after you knock it out just feed it some mejo Berry's or exceptional kibble good luck hope it helps!
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)
Prime Meat Gathering (In my world) tip:
1. Get a bronto, then get its platform saddle.
2. Build a small base with an industrial griller and other things that are useful.
3. Pair it with some large carnivores, like some rexes or gigas, and go to the badlands.
4. Command your team to attack enemies that drops prime meat upon deaths. Assist your team by riding your bronto and attack it, the higher the bronto, the stronger and tankier it is and better.
5. Gather your fallen enemies' corpse (Recommended using a Rex or Giga)
6. Get up on your platform saddle and turn on industrial griller (If want cooked) (NOTE: Please bring many gasolines for the industrial griller for cooked ones) or put in preserving bin (If want raw)
7. Enjoy your Prime Meats.
You're welcome. (No need to like :) )
