The best area to tame these is an area full of small dinos that the bronto will get stuck on
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.
How ARK players tame and knock out the Brontosaurus: what to feed it, what to knock it out with, and how to keep it safe.
Tame a high level and pump 30 levels into stamina
Get yourself a desmodus. You can hover over top of it and shoot it all day long without it being able to touch you. I tamed a 145 this way after it kept running away from the cliff I was on. Easy peasy guys with the right mount.
When fighting a bronto or taming go up high so u can shoot it in the head while it can't get to you...
literally all you gotta do is tranq it with arrows and then leave it with about 1500 berries. then just leave it be and check a bit but you don’t need that many narcotics. MAKE SURE YOU TAME A FAIRLY LOW LEVEL IF YOU WANT A QUICK TAME
Trap it in shallow water and hope it breathes and tranq it with 5-15 tranq arrows and use bio toxin to keep it asleep for a bit longer for the tame
Why does everyone say it takes 30 minutes to an hour to tame the thing? That is sooo untrue! Maybe playing on an Xbox is different, but mine only took 10 minutes. And I didn’t change any of the settings to make it do that. I swear, I don’t even know how to (I was a noob 2…

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…

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!
Don’t tranq it when it is near water
If it runs in and faints it will die from drowning or if it runs into deep water megs will kill it
1.find a brontosaurus
2. Get a few 100 or more berries
3. Get 40-60 tranq arrows
4. Get 2-3 large bear trap that traps them for 20 seconds
5. Place the traps Get it angered rum behind the traps let
Walk in to them and start pelting it with arrows until it is knockout…

Walk in to them and start pelting it with arrows until it is knockout and if it starts running away make sure that you stay away there's a chance it might come back almost died because of that once it's knocked out wait about 20 minutes or so and you have a giant beast
My brother has two brontosaurus and you you need 20 tranq arrows 3 narcotics and 120 berries maximum.
For all of those people thinking it only takes 11 tranqs to knock it out it takes a lot more that for a high level bronco
Make sure there is not 3 high levels and next to a swamp knock out one and try to not let it got in the swamp mine got attacked by capris and I died but I figured out a breeding pen for these beasts.
Get Tanquillizer arrows (100 would be good incase you miss) shoot the head and when it gets knocked out feed it 200-500 berries mejo berries work the best and then when its night sleep and it boosts up the taming process or finishes the tame and theres your new pet bronto…

Hatching an egg...
30 mins later.
If your taming one lure it to a cliff and shoot it when it runs keep it from entering water
Best method is kite to cliff or perch atop a high boulder out of reach and lay on the tranq arrows with an ascendant crossbow. Be sure to bring the Carbonemys kibble though, my wife helped with both!
Don’t worry about it waking up it takes foreeevvveeerrrr
For players that doesn’t have tranq darts and turtle kibble.
1. Plant Rockcarrots in medium crop plot, grow it till you have about 150
2. Find a Bronto close to a big cliff.
3. Use crossbow or normal bow with tranq arrows to knock it.
4. Once it is down leave it so…

4. Once it is down leave it so the Torpor almost runs out.
5. Feed it a bunch of narcotics and put 150 carrots in, it will take less than 2 mins to tame.
I tamed a lvl 20 bronto with this method.
Grab about 150 green arrows and get a bow or what’re type of bow you use then trap or go on a cliff to shoot it after that put the veggies in it and wait an hour then you got a new chongus
