ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion

Tips & Strategies

Ok, STILL LEVEL 63. So many good things have happened today, I tamed a Sarco, got to play with my friend, aaaaaand….. I TAMED A BRONTO!!! Super exited. IT TAMED IN 10 MINUTES!!! The big man gained like 2% every second. Stopped around 84% for like 10 seconds maybe 30, but then kept taming. Easily the fastest tame in the game, right? 214 Mejoberries for a level 28. It took 40 tranqs. I was standing on a really tall cliff and I had a perfect view. He sleeps for 2 hours if you let him, so perfect amount of time to run back to base and grab some berries if you don’t have any or don’t want to spend an hour harvesting without a Dino (like me). I haven’t tested him out yet (I literally just tamed him like 10 minutes ago, and I had to shut the Xbox off). But I’ve heard he’s the best berry gatherer in the game! Super exited to craft a saddle and test him out!
I was 90 tranqs deep into a 135 and it ran into the ocean and drown itself... don't be me
Me: Builds base on herbivore island (that small island in the southeast)
The 4 brontos on the island: *Curious Bronto Noises*
If your killing them for xp use a flyer just above there head so they don't agro
Up if it helped
Im currently taming a bronto :) its just a level two though but it has alot of health. It only took 14 tranq arrows just as dododex said,dododex is very usefu.
How to steal big funny blue egg:
1. Build a raft
2. Find egg
3. Grab egg
4. Dash to raft before funny long neck dino catches you
5. Get as far away from land as you can
6. You now have egg
I was taking 11 dilos, all between lvls 5-40 to try to explore the south cave in The Island. When I looked out from behind a rock, I saw a big blue egg sitting in an opening. I picked it up, and the nearby bronto did nothing. I got hungry, and bronto eggs restore 100 hunger, so I ate it. THEN the bronto got mad. It chased after me and my dilos attacked it. It killed 6 of the dilos before I finished it off with a regular bow. Got the trophy and named the five remaining dilos, including my strongest lvl 38, Bronto Killers 1-5
A useful guide to tame bronto :
You can use tranq arrows and perch up on a cliff and fire at it from there. It will be stuck on the rocks and will not be able to attack you. Do not hit it on a lowered platform. Go higher enough so that it can't hit you. Then shoot it until it goes a bit far so you can confirm it's fleeing. Then go nearby and keep shooting until it falls unconcious. Hope this tip helps.
Step 1:find one
Step 2:have a shoot tranquilizeing darts
Step 3:get a stegosaurus
Step 4:get berries with your stegosaurus
Step 5:give the brontosaurus berries
Here is how to tame a bronto:
Materials:
A few hundred tranq arrows with a primitive crossbow. Bring other crossbows just in case! Also BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY.
A flyer with a saddle of course.
A good bronto. Anything 45+ because it’s like doedics they farm a lot no matter the level.
Method 1
1. Find a cliff. Make sure it is high and wide enough.
2. Aggro a bronto and land on the cliff.
3. Shoot with tranq ammo remember to leave a 5 sc gap between shots.
Method 2
1. Whistle a tapejara on follow and switch seats above the bronto.
2. Proceed to knock the beast out.
Use mejoberries or crops to tame the bronto! Bring narcs just in case but I didn’t need any.
Utilities:
Absolute TANK survived Rex’s for 6 minutes.
Good defense Dino with outrageous knockback and AOE.
Currently the absolute best berry farmer in ark.
Enjoy your bronto!
Look for a very high Rock or a Cliff with a Flyer. The Rock/Cliff should be about as high as the bronto. When you shoot him he wont be able to Hit you, but his head will be directly in Front of you , so can easyly shoot His head because he has a 1.5x head multiplier.
Even though they're not Multi-passenger, their saddle is so dang big that you can drive, while your friends stand & chill behind you. Once you get a saddle for one, you and your friends can get up by: you mount it, then dismount. you'll still be on the saddle. You and your friends repeat until you're all on, then One of you drives, and off you go. If there's still mor of you and no room, get a diplo and now you all have seats. Please ^ if this was helpful!
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.
I just tamed a lvl 22 bronto (I’m lvl 26 so pretty easy to tame) with around 40 tranq arrows in my crossbow, it only took around 15-25 minutes and 300-400 berries to tame (it’s my first bronto, I named her Earthquake :)
For a level 16 it takes 2 hours to wake up. For a level 2, it takes 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Don’t go in a forest because it will make that forest a non-forest.so don’t do it.
