Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a brontosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a brontosaurus.
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!
1. Get an equus
2. Get tranq arrows/darts and lots of crops/berries(depends on level but for a level 2 I used 11 tranq darts)
3. Find a low level bronto(be careful if there are other brontos nearby)
4. Aim and shoot at targeted dino, make sure to have mount run away when the bronto gets closer so you keep a safe distance
5. Feed and wait
I easily tamed one of these I’m level 37 and I used a bow and like idk how many tranq arrows but I guess at least 50 so what you do is put all your stuff away in a chest or Dino and just bring your bow and tranq arrows and berries and narcotics then just shoot and run away and shoot as much as you can try hit the head cause that does better dmg hope this helps
Found one knocked it out with twenty tranq arrows tamed it
I’m level 15
To the guy who said to not use stim berries well they decrease its torpor I tamed one with like 20 Tranqs and 50 bio toxin and 1300 berries and a 10x boost took like ten minutes but I knocked it out on a dudes base on pve he was stuck in his house :p
Place a stone foundation down near one you want to tame. Place a doorway(with a door), and three stone walls on the bottom. Then place 4 doorways(without doors) on top of the first layer. This way you can agro the bronto when you are trying to knock it out, have an eye on all directions, and won't get hit by his attacks. Best method I've found so far!
One of my favorite favorite tames by far! Tail whip super useful and cargo carrying can carry lots! Love the sounds they make too! Overall beautiful creature just have to make sure you don’t accidentally smack and herbivores when under battle with nasty raptor or carno
I didn’t shoot head, because it was too hard, so I used 24 tranq arrows and many, many stabs from my pulmo (scorpion, Scorpius, female).
1. Craft how many tranq arrows you want
2. Prepare food
3. Find bronto female (to lay eggs)
4. Shoot it (now, now. A big rock won’t help you now)
5. If you have a scorpion, stab it
6. Keep stabbing it as it runs away
7. Watch it fall
8. Put food in inventory
9. Wait
10. Give your bronto a name and you have a terrific killer
Name ideas:
Stomper
Ellie
Brontia
Abel
Macy
John
Melon
Grape
Potato
Thunder
Blossom
Jewel
Shining Star
Quiet Rain
Meadows Grass
Storm
Gray Storm
Go for low level ones if possible you can change an raise the stats you want. An if there lower level they are easyer to tame. Granted they might be easy to kill for rexs when there lower level but they still can take nearly anything else on any map
Yo just knock out this dude and you don't even have to watch it because it doesn't even wake up! ?
It’s a easy tame a few tranks that you unlock at level and the saddle for it at level 63 but has low staimia
Nice
Be nice it's the nice and good wear for life be safe
These guys are easy to tame just grapple onto its head and tranq it feed it berries(I tamed it with 100 rockarrot)
Use him/her as your great defender
Up if you like the idea
They can get stunned by cyndaria!😭😢
If you have a friend and a flyer with decent stamina i recommended your friend carrying you right above it then just shoot at its head till it knocks out, you have to be careful not to hit your flyer though
It’s possible to take this if you have ascendant bow. I tame this at level 45 I’m happy but sad no saddle
If you try to take this BEAST then you should just arrow or shoot it.THEN RUN
I was wondering around the island when I saw this bronto then I took our my compound bow one shot to the head and it fell unconscious then I fed it 64 berries and I tamed it It was level 5 bronto use tranq arrows 🏹 and shoot to the head good 👍luck 😀😀😀😀
The best area to tame these is an area full of small dinos that the bronto will get stuck on
Use trang or darts on them I think darts are faster but trang is still good knock out
