Brontosaurus
The Brontosaurus is a behemoth of a dinosaur with a powerful tail 'tail sweep' attack that can smash all nearby enemies. This method is also one of the most efficient ways to gather berries and thatch, and the Brontosaurus' ability to carry large quantities of items make it even more useful for gathering. With its ability to carry a Platform Saddle, the Brontosaurus is often considered a must-have dinosaur for nomadic tribes looking for a mobile base.

Stories, wild encounters, and fan fiction about the Brontosaurus from ARK players.
I had a great Bronto named Bob, He was great and reliable.
I always gathered berries and wood for my tribe. Bob was an absolute beast in combat. He could easily destroy high level Rexes. One sad day, I returned to base. I was on an Argentavis and was flying around. I saw a few strong dinos heading straight to our base. We were about to…
I always gathered berries and wood for my tribe. Bob was an absolute beast in combat. He could easily destroy high level Rexes. One sad day, I returned to base. I was on an Argentavis and was flying around. I saw a few strong dinos heading straight to our base. We were about to get raided. They attacked us and shred our base. We fought them with our dinos. Bob started to shred through them. Bob bought us enough time to escape. He fought until his last stand. R.I.P Bob
First day of playing ark I was running around and raptors started chasing me I ran up to a bronto thinking I was for sure dead so I punched it.... it shot me across the river and away from the raptors praise the bronto
One wedged itself inside a rock it could not attack all it could do was scream While I beat it with a club
I HAD a bronto that i built a wooden base on earlier today, I thought I could shoot 2 t Rexes and knock them out, but they bit me in HALF. Luckily I had my Thyla and I used him to take down both. 1 like = 1 memory of my bronto

This is a story of how 2 bronto warriors protected my base and my PT

This is a story of how 2 bronto warriors protected my base and my PT
I was breeding my 2 brontos and got a fert bronto egg. while it was hatching, I decided: “hey! Why don’t I take a trip while I wait?” So I rode my pt and while I was on my trip, I saw an alpha raptor. I decided: “this raptor must stay away from my base.” I led it away from base and I was near the swamp. When I landed on a rock, a titaniboa SURPRISINGLY hit my pt 2 TIMES! I thought my pt was gonna knock out but, I went to base quickly and checked on the egg. It was just fine. BUT when I was home… a wild brontosaurus fell down the mountain and fell by my base. I decided: “A BRONTO? I’ll lead it away from my base.” I went on my pt and hit it once. It stepped on one of my spikes. It started attacking my base! My 2 brontos raced to kill it and they won! My heroes! Good thing I picked up the egg before the fires broke. I put the egg away and started writing this story. Üp vøte for my warriors to win again!

This has been my experience taming dinosaurs (It's so so sad)
One time I tamed Bronto lvl 12 on Herbivore island, it only took about 23 tranq arrows (no more than 30), after that I gave him 100 Savoroot and 72 Longgrass, then I went to normal island, then I wanted to find some explorer notes (I left Bronto because the torpor time was 2…
One time I tamed Bronto lvl 12 on Herbivore island, it only took about 23 tranq arrows (no more than 30), after that I gave him 100 Savoroot and 72 Longgrass, then I went to normal island, then I wanted to find some explorer notes (I left Bronto because the torpor time was 2 hours 15 minutes 53 seconds (about 44 minutes for taming), so I left him with 172 crops, when I returned. BRONTO AND ALL MY CROPS ARE LOST.
So never leave the dinosaurs you want to tame even though it takes a long time.
THANKS FOR READ THE TIPS
A level 2 Bronto was attacked by a dilo and the bronto hit me by accident, and my lvl 20 trike went after it, it killed me, and it killed my trike when I was dead.(I was a noob at the time). Overall: Don’t go near it while it is fighting something when you are a noob.
Ok so as I was coming back from the hidden lake I saw a Rex.
My saber, Annora, was close behind. I was so scared, all my tames where close… then the Rex started to attack a bronto,I brought Annora to a small tree. I remembered how many brontos the Rex killed. I went to go fight, but my health was low, I nearly died.Then the bronto…

One upvoot, one respect for the killer Rex bronto
This is a special and sad story about Pear

When i started ark i built my house around a cave below a cliff by a beach. When i went on to harvest berries i saw a large level 20 bronto spawn. I was immediately frightened because my base was surrounded with wooden spikes so if it touched it it might get mad. Guess what it touched a spike and then started stomping on in it. And then i saw true horror i saw its tail whip animation revving up and its tails could go throw my spikes therefore it could kill my tames. I coudnt do anything so went in the cave and was prepared to see my base and tames obliterated. It whipped and i heard a sound of a cry and saw “Your level 15 Lystro (Pear) has been killed by a level 20 bronto.” I immediately heard the bronto fall down to its death from the spikes i immediately rushed to see Pears laying down there lifeless. The brontos tail managed to hit Pear and since brontos cant attack multiple targets at once Pear was a shield. I decided to bury pear in the very spot he sat on and grabbed all my tames and we sat for a while. Pear my very first tame on ark i always loved feeding berries aswell as going out together. You saved my base and tames at cause of your life rip pear..

Jerry warmed his hands by the fire they created, and layed down to rest. It was dusk, and darkness was coming very fast. "How did all that happen in just one day?" he thought

Jerry warmed his hands by the fire they created, and layed down to rest. It was dusk, and darkness was coming very fast. "How did all that happen in just one day?" he thought
"Where are we anyway?" Jerry asked, since he had never bothered to ask Rick that.
"I think it's called an Ark" said Eden
"There's a theory that we're all just being put through some twisted experiment or test"
"How many of us live here?" Jerry asked
"I don't know, I've only been here for a few months." Eden replied
Jerry soon fell asleep...
He dreamt of Rick in a cage being tortured and horribly treated, And he knew that if he had been captured, Rick would have come back for him. He woke up in a thatch hut, that Eden must have made while he was asleep, but he was nowhere to be found...

Forest whirled around. “What was that?”
“I heard it, too,” Rust said, perking his head up. His talons twitched nervously.
Spark doubled glanced at the two who had stopped, then wheeled back and turned to them. “What is it?” She asked.

Forest whirled around. “What was that?”
“I heard it, too,” Rust said, perking his head up. His talons twitched nervously.
Spark doubled glanced at the two who had stopped, then wheeled back and turned to them. “What is it?” She asked.
“I just heard a—” Forest stopped, hearing a hiss behind him.
“Be ready,” Spark growled. She bared her teeth and held her ground.
Forest went into camouflage, letting his feathers and scales shift slowly to the background. He slowly stopped to listened, then crept silently towards the small noises.
“Forest!” Rust hissed.
At the sight of a tail in the brush, Forest pounced and digging his claws into ruby-hard scales.
“YOW!” A long snout packed with sharp teeth snapped at empty air where Forest once was. He froze and stayed invisible.
It was that KAPRO. AGAIN.
“Found her!” Forest yelled.
Talons steps came there way, and Rust and Spark appeared. The Kapro winced.
Spark scowled. “You,” she spat.
“YOU,” The Kapro shot back.
“Who?” Rust asked. The Kapro snarled at him. “What?”
“It’s the Kapro you stole from,” Spark said.
“Oh,” Rust squinted at her. “Yeah, I guess it is.”
“Why were you following us?” Forest asked her, shifting back to be visible. The Kapro jumped.
“I—I—I—“ the Kapro had never looked stumped before. She looked… worried and… sad?
“Well?” Spark barked.
The Kapro ducked her head. “Fine. I’ll tell you. I wondered why you three were wandering in the swamp together… and I thought… maybe you’d bring me along.”

He had a base 15,000 hp, he was a great and reliable mount. One fateful day, I was gathering berries for our tribe, and I headed back to base. I noticed some other tribe was attacking. We were being raided. We were badly outnumbered, and Bob fought to his last stand. His…

My 7 year old sister had god mode.
And she tamed this thing using A WOODEN CLUB while flying around using god mode.

Last night I was playing ark and working on my new log house when I turned my Theri back to buy another haul of wood home there I saw a huge Bronto looking over my front gate just starting at my tames. I thought it was funny almost as if she was saying "Please take me in, I want to be with all you guys." But I ignored her because I've had Brontos before and they just take up too much space and travel with them is sooooooooo slow.
Back to work, the next load of wood I turn around to see if she's still creeping outside my base to find she worked her way into the trap I used for my Theri. This is comical because the trap is big but not Bronto big and is also missing walls on one side. This time I feel she is just begging me please tame me, look I even got into your trap. So after thinking a bit on it I decide ok (Bronto eggs = Theri/Quetz/Giga kibble), and start the tame everything is going well until it got real for her and she starting running away and just walked out of the trap, but I got her down. That was at 1am and she was a 4 hour tame so I just loaded her up with berries set up my high level raptor pack and logged off.
If she's alive and tamed I'm going to name her Pear in honor of another post here.
I knocked out a lvl 110 with an engram lvl slingshot with A LOT of repairs and stacks and stacks of stones when I was a level 10 character. It was my first tame of that game. I stood on a ledge where he couldn’t get me and ran him down when he fled!
I tamed one when I was only Lvl.
39, soon to find out the saddle was Lvl. 63 and the platform saddle at 82. He now is sitting in my front yard waiting for the saddle.
