Bronto's are a beast! Make a platform saddle, have mortar and pestles on it, carry spoiled meat and you will make thousands of narcotics in no time! Also a great thatch gatherer, would definitely recommend taming the Bronto.

I heard these are a very slow tame so grab a looooooot of berries.

I recommend taming this as soon as you get the saddle! They’re a super easy tame, use a crossbow with about 25-80 depending on the level, hop on a pteranodon after shooting it once, land, hop off, shoot it more, rinse and repeat till KO. If you have boosted taming time, just use mejos and it’ll work fine.

if you do not have the kibble, and only have mejoberries, ypu will need to patiently wait for an entire hour and some minutes to get this thing tamed, although no narcotis is needed since this giant loves to sleep...

In Genisis DLC, take these brutes to the Lunar biome and collect over 5000 wood/12000 thatch at a time. All in just a few swings.

Ok hello there ones who are looking to tame a Bronto or more.

Ok,so what I suggest is to make 2-3 stacks of arrows and like 100 of I'd say probably citronal(lemon),rockarrot(carrot),Savoroot(potato),or corn(srry I forgot the name of 🌽 in the game) for it to eat.

Note-You might need more arrows for higher level brontos tho because they regularly have 2300 health.Some may have 3200 or more.

After making the arrows and gathering the food you can make a bow or crossbow (order of the crafting is ur choice).

Then find a bronto,I suggest trying to find either just 1 or trying to find 2 of the same gender so only the 1 u attack cares😅.

After finding a bronto,if not already in a rocky area,then lead it to a rocky area where it will get stuck and u can then just constantly shoot arrows at it.It might start to kinda run sometimes and u can go near to see if it's running cuz it's at low enough health for that,if it turns to u,then RUN,because it is actually just running in the opposite direction because it's trying to reposition so it can go past the rock.

Then continue to do this until u find it actually trying to run away cuz of low health,shoot it with a few more arrows till its at like 163 health (when mine stopped attacking with its tail finally,cuz they will run but still attack with their tail I swear I HATE IT) or lower and then club it.

After it's FINALLY unconscious you can feed it the 100 or less of (whatever u brought,hopefully not berries cuz that will do literally only 1. smt.literally,cuz I already tried) and then just wait.

Also don't worry about the consciousness cuz it's LONG lasting.And then BOOM,you've gotcha self a bronto.

I'm sorry this tip is so long,this is just how I tamed my bronto a few mins ago and I wanted to really be helpful.I am sorry if u kinda die along the way (that just happened to me so I'm just saying sorry cuz it might happen to u if ur like my lvl which is 55 or 56).But yeah,good luck and I hope you like ur new bronto,next I might do diplo,I haven't tamed 1 yet but I think I know how,it's almost easy.Bye!🤩✨️

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 :) )

Dear noobs,

When you encounter this formidable creature do not hit it with your fists as after that it will send you to Jupiter and back.

Sincerely, The Noob Informer

I used a tamed one to get enough eggs for exceptional kibble (yellow kibble) before getting a rex. Hope this helps others like it helped me

To the guy who saw a bronto get killed by a raptor cause it couldn’t hit the raptor, my bro to can hit dodos 💀

Whoever it was who said one pushed them off a cliff for no reason. That was a diplodocus not a bronto diplodocus are small and have straight necks and pointy teeth for stripping leaves off of bushes and ferns while brontos are big with bendy necks and kind of beak like mouths for snapping leaves and twigs put of the canopy.

How to tame bronto

Where to find:

Bronto can be foind in beaches and herbivore island

Taming detals:

Bronto are knockout tames and they eat berries

Problems:

Brontos do knockback, lots of damage and they have very high torpor an they are large so it's difficult to trap them and it will tame almost an hour to tame them

Advantages:

Brontos are slow so you can outrun them and there torpor drains slow so you dont need to feed it narcotics

Abilities when tamed:

Brontos can destroy many bushes and trees in 1 swing of its its tail and it can damge creatures by walking on them and they have a platform saddle so they can carry massive amounts of weight

Disabilities when tamed:

Brontos are slow and have terrible oxygen so they drown quickly and when you're riding it you cant see the creatures infrot of you

30 points   🔧 Utility   Nov 12, 2023   Report

Brontosauruses are amazing creatures! Here are the reasons why:

1. It has enormous weight and can carry creatures that have supplies to add almost no weight.

2. It can have a huge platform saddle, allowing you to have a small portable base for resource runs or base raiding.

3. It is a complete tank and can survive multiple Rexes for minutes.

That’s all. 😀

Why does a diplo saddle have an 11 person capacity and a bronto saddle only has 1

90 points   🥚 Taming & KO   Oct 10, 2020   Report

The best place to find theese is herbivore island /small tip:NEVER LEAVE UR DINOS ON AGRO THERE/

I suggest a raft to get there, bring some Dino’s too

There’s at least a single bronto there, but usually there’s two.

Bring at least a 500 berries, at least, plz do more tho

I also say u get some major soothing balm, and at least 60 tranqs,

Also there’s metal rocks on herbivore island

BEST WAY TO TAME!...... build some stone dino gateways... Place in a small area around the bronto... He wont be able to go anywhere. So you can then just sit back and shot away.

Do not attack him if you are not prepared p you will die instantly, so just go watch a phlinger phoo video or something like that.
