Best berry gatherer in the game. Solid for clearing out forests and inadvertently collecting tons of thatch and wood. Super heigh weight stat, super high health stat, decent attack with its tail and massive knockback. While you're riding one of these most dinos will ignore you. You can unlock a platform saddle for these guys, allowing you to create a mobile base on their back. This makes them great for long expeditions or resource runs as long as you're not in a hurry. Also, they swim deceptively fast. I use mine as a ferry to herbivore Island sometimes and cross the ocean super quickly. All in all a super solid tame that has its uses from early game through end game.

Don’t go in a forest because it will make that forest a non-forest.so don’t do it.

Great for setting on top of people’s bases and watching them get annoyed at the constant earthquake

I saw someone suggesting giving it a berry then when it lowers his head to eat you can safely get off. That’s great and all but you can also Yaba-Daba-Doo off the tail with no berries involved!

I'd recommend having at least 70 tranq arrows and a crossbow before you try and tame it.

1. Find a Bronto

2. Get to a high place

3. Shoot at head with tranq arrows(or tranq darts if your higher level) until it's knocked out

4.feed it lots of mejoberries

5. Give it good name

And you've got a Bronto CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🎉🎉!!

I sometimes wonder why the bronto only has a tail whip attack, I mean, just look at it, it’s huge, I think it should have a stomp attack, or an attack similar to the paracertherium (gets up on its hind legs and slams down on its front legs). It makes sense because of how big it is, it would also make the bronto, less boring, if anyone knows the ark discord can someone suggest this to them. Hopefully it becomes available across all platforms, especially console, pc and mobile.

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.

This was like my 5th tame, took me like 1 and a half hours but it was female and I got a male after a while and now I have like 10 fertilized eggs

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!🤩✨️

These are easy to knock out, Just get a bow and a bunch of trans arrows, Then keep shooting it and running away so it wont hit you, Then feed it mejoberries and then wait... Theres your bronto thanking you because you tamed it.

Tail is good to slide down when you got nothing to do

My PC crashed when I did the tail swing over about ten bushes at once

Be careful! Do not anger it a round tames or bases. When it does its tail whip attack it hits everything surrounding it too. I’ve had Dinos and a base destroyed because of it’s tail. 😖

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

Build a platform with furnaces and storage on it's back, take it out to a metal filled area, gather metal all whilst dumping it into it's inventory. When your done put all the metal into the massive amount of furnaces you have on it and smelt it up, then store it!

For lvl 10 bronto u need:

18 tranq arrows

75 berries

Strat:

1.Climb on a big rock

2.Shoot the head(increased damage)

3.Repeat 2 until k.o

4.Feed berries+2/3 narcotics

5.Guard

6.Now u got a Bronto(Name idea Lebronto James)

Go somewhere where the bronto can’t get you then shoot it with tranqs

20 trees, got 1.8k thatch, these guys make deforestation easy

Do NOT steal a brontos egg. It will take your soul lmao

if you dismount and stand on your bronto's head and then make it follow you, you can move forward without controlling the bronto.
